Well, it just wasn't to be. Poli Timişoara conceded 3-1, after a beautiful game of football, which Michel Platini decided himself to witness. As this was an all or nothing match, Sabău sent in a classical lineup for Poli, at least in the past season: Bucur and Parks upfield, with Magera behind them. Despite the offensive intent, the coach had to come up with some improvisations to cover the...
Changing the name of St James' Park shows how little the Newcastle owner understands about football So what's in a name ? Quite a lot when it comes to football grounds. For a supporter the name of a stadium or its location, which sometimes serves as a name, is etched as deep on the soul as the team that plays there.

Peter Kenyon’s replacement as Chief Executive at Chelsea, Ron Gourlay, reckons Chelsea are ready to dominate Europe, and forecasts at least two Champions League trophies in the next five years. “In our ten-year plan there were two Champions Leagues in there and we’ve been very unlucky,” Gourlay said. “Over the next five years we’ve still got to [...]

We've watched him draw ever closer in the last few months, his intentions remain very much a mystery.

As the club prepares for yet another fans' backlash, Newcastle boss Chris Hughton is convinced St James' Park will always be St James' Park. Owner Mike Ashley and managing director Derek Llambias caused outrage last week when they revealed the naming rights for the stadium were up for grabs as they attempt to bring new revenue into the club.
