From the 2005 Champions League final to a Prenton Park classic, here are half a dozen of the best games of the noughties 1) Milan 3-3 Liverpool, 2005 Champions League final In 2001 a prankster named Karl Power crept into the Manchester United team photo ahead of their quarter-final second leg at Bayern Munich. But the Champions League final four years later featured, according to some observers, even...
James Richardson welcomes a bumper panel of Paul Doyle, Barry Glendenning, Sean Ingle and Jonathan Wilson to discuss the week's dramatic World Cup play-offs. The pod start by discussing the reaction in Paris and Dublin to Thierry Henry's double handball before William Gallas's goal, before arguing about video technology, Henry's reputation and what, if anything, Ireland can do now.

Countless keepers have displayed sharper reflexes, superior athleticism and more deliberate and admirable technique than Banks did against Brazil Now that the illusion of banking safety has been exposed, it is high time we exploded the myth of Gordon Banks's save.

Today's rumours thought eight of the 10 were garbage As the time-honoured saying goes, a pointless analogy involving mushy potatoes and a torn fish will never catch on.

From a Maradona-inspired win over Brazil in 1990 to perhaps catenaccio's finest hour, here are a few great smash-and-grabs 1. Argentina 1-0 Brazil, World Cup second round, 24/06/1990 Diego Maradona arrived at the 1982 World Cup hailed by many as the best player in the world. He left it in shame after getting sent off for kicking Jaoa Batista in the swingers as Argentina crashed out to Brazil in the...
Today's rumours are just that At the eleventh hour today the Mill will pause to remember those heroic men and women who died to preserve our freedom to rumour for a living. Just think, we wouldn't be able to report that Rafael Benítez has managed to extract a commitment from the American carpetbaggers to fund the January purchase of Carlton Cole . Being English, Cole is, of course, biologically...
From Metz feeding Bernd Schuster ham to Aberdeen lighting up the north, here are some of the great European shocks 1. Barcelona 1-4 Metz (agg: 5-6), 10 October 1984, Cup Winners' Cup, first round No one saw this coming – almost literally, because after Metz had lost the home leg 4-2 no French TV or radio station bothered to cover the seemingly pointless return match and the Camp Nou was only...

Several times, in fact, we have suspected the Kop of being the HQ of the Scandinavian Society of Self-Flaggellators....
