Spurs as Fleetwood Mac, West Ham as Iron Maiden…if PL teams were musical artists

In an earlier article I compared the Premier League’s ‘Big Four’ to various musical artists. This week I will be considering the following teams…

Tottenham Hotspur – Fleetwood Mac

A wealth of similarities link White Hart Lane’s finest and Fleetwood Mac. The histories of both band and team are remarkably congruent; a healthy spell of success in the past, followed by a subsequent period of inactivity in the doldrums, followed by a recent renaissance. Spurs, successful during the 1960s and 1970s, enjoyed a disappointing spell between the early 1990s and mid noughties.

Under the likes of Harry Redknapp, Juande Ramos and Martin Jol, Spurs have returned to the upper echelons of the table and managed to land themselves some silverware. Fleetwood Mac were big in the late ‘60s, absolutely MASSIVE in the ‘70s, whilst enduring a comparative lack of success during the ‘90s and early noughties. ‘The Mac’ re-emerged during the mid-noughties with the success of their album ‘Say You Will’, with their sold-out worldwide tour of 2009 suggesting that they’re once again a force to be reckoned with.

Both Spurs and Fleetwood Mac have a strong English core – Fleetwood Mac’s longstanding rhythm section is comprised of Englishmen John McVie and Mick Fleetwood, whilst Spurs’ spine features the talents of Ledley King, Michael Dawson, Tom Huddlestone, Jermain Defoe and Peter Crouch.

Unfortunately the behaviour of Fleetwood Mac guitarist Lindsey Buckingham and Spurs’ players Defoe, Crouch and Keane suggest that they were all lying when they said they were ‘Never Going Back Again’… (and after we all thought that they would Go Their Own Way…)

Manchester City – Miley Cyrus

I must admit that I’m indebted to footballfancast.com user Busby for this comparison. Although Busby used the divisive figure of Miss Cyrus to describe Chelsea, I can’t help but think that Manchester City are a better fit.

To quote said user, both Cyrus and Citeh would be “utterly useless but for heavy financial backing.” Miley Cyrus, brought to mass public attention due to the funding of Disney, is well on her way to global domination. Having spent in excess of £300m over the course of the past two seasons, it seems as though the wealthiest side in the world have similar aspirations of grandeur.

Everton – Starsailor

As a famous supporter of Liverpool, Starsailor frontman James Walsh will undoubtedly detest this comparison, but there are certainly a few parallels between his band and Everton.

Tenuously, there is a geographical connection, as both hail from the northwest (Starsailor are from Wigan, and Everton are based in Liverpool). More prominently though, the pair have been known to have expressed jealousy at being overshadowed by more illustrious and successful local rivals. Everton have consistently worked in the shadow of local neighbours Liverpool, with fans of the Toffees referred to as ‘Bitters’ by fans of the Anfield side.

Starsailor infamously slagged off Manchester titans Oasis, with Walsh once stating that “If Oasis think the music is still important, they’re mistaken. They had their day in the sun. I don’t listen to Oasis any more and I don’t let their comments bother me any more.”

West Ham United – Iron Maiden

Apologies for the somewhat lazy comparison here. My decision to pair West Ham United with heavy metal legends Iron Maiden stems from the obvious link between the two; Iron Maiden bassist Steve Harris was a youth team player for the Upton Park outfit in the 1970s and is one of the club’s most famous fans (indeed he sports a West Ham United crest on his bass guitar).

Both pride themselves on being truly great, traditional English institutions. Having conquered the global heavy metal world, Iron Maiden are regarded as a definitive English symbol across the six continents. Avoiding a mention of their relatively empty trophy cabinet, West Ham United fans frequently claim that they ‘won the World Cup’ on account of the fact that England’s scorers (Sir Geoff Hurst and Martin Peters) in the victorious 1966 World Cup Final were both West Ham players.

Whilst both have enjoyed minimal mainstream success, Iron Maiden and West Ham United are infamous for their fiercely loyal fanbases.

Should Capello really pay the price for England’s failure?

After yesterday’s disappointing second round exit to Germany manager Fabio Capello could see his reign as England manager coming to an end in the next few days. However despite England’s poor World Cup campaign sacking Capello is not the answer.

England walked off the pitch humiliated and dejected following their 4-1 defeat to bitter rivals Germany, England were outplayed in every department and apart from a 10 minute spell in each half didn’t really look threatening at all. The expectation on Capello was that the team reach the semi-finals at least, and with the personnel at his disposal it should have been an achievable task. However just like at ever tournament England once again flattered to deceive, but this time around it seems to feel more heartbreaking. As there was an impression that finally with someone like Capello at the helm England had the world class manager they’ve been lacking to complement the players.

However it is quite simply the players who should shoulder most of the blame for this World Cup, Wayne Rooney didn’t turn up at all after a great season with Manchester United much was expected of him and he didn’t deliver. Aaron Lennon was very disappointing on the right hand side, his replacement James Milner was better putting in a lot of dangerous crosses but still should have made more of an impact. Steven Gerrard was fairly decent but it’s clear he isn’t the right captain for England as his leadership skills were nowhere to be seen on the pitch, Frank Lampard was good against Germany but missing for the other games and the opposite can be said for Gareth Barry. The defence were woeful against Germany and had it not been for David James in goal the scoreline could have been a lot worse. Overall throughout the tournament the only players that come out of it with a shade of credit are James, Ashley Cole and Jermain Defoe.

Despite the poor performances of many individual players, as a team England only really played badly in two games against Algeria and Germany. In their opener against the USA the Americans proved to be very resolute and difficult to break down, they are a good side who have vastly improved and a point against them isn’t anything to be ashamed of. In the Slovenia game England should have won by at least by two goals and a third wouldn’t have been undeserved, however luck just deserted them on the day and they only won 1-0. Also against Germany although England were poor the Germans have unfairly not been given the credit they deserve for playing so well.

Continue reading on page 2

Capello has shown that he can get England to play as they looked impressive in the World Cup qualifying campaign, topping their group and only suffering one defeat. This also included good performances particularly against a Croatia side that caused England many problems in their Euro 2008 qualifying campaign. Without a doubt Fabio Capello made mistakes at the finals by playing players out of position like Gerrard and not taking players who deserved to be there like Darren Bent. However Capello will have learnt from these mistakes and although it’s hard to think about it now, if you were offered England going out in the second round of the World Cup but winning the European Championships surely it would be worth it? The blame has been put on Capello all too quick by the media when these were the people who were praising his appointment saying that England have been needing a disciplinarian for a long-time. Now there are reports of player unrest it looks the media has decided to change its mind once again and side with the players.

Based on how powerful the English press can be it wouldn’t be surprising if they got their wish and Capello was indeed sacked from his job, but should that happen who is out there to replace him? The FA probably wouldn’t go with another foreigner and the only English managers who are close to being good enough are Harry Redknapp and Roy Hodsgon. Even then Redknapp and Hodgson are not as good as Capello and nothing about them suggests that they could do a better job than him, chopping and changing the manager now will only halt progress and would cost the FA money. It would be better to leave Capello in charge until his contract expires after Euro 2012 and see what happens at that tournament. Although it would be nice to win, if Capello couldn’t deliver it then a new manager can come in and have two years to work towards the big prize of the World Cup so it’s a win-win situation.

With all the experience Capello has on his CV it makes him one of the best managers in the world and if someone of his calibre can’t get England to perform then really who can? This simple logic should be the reason why he gets to keep his job, Capello can deliver success to England but people need to be patient and unfortunately as patience is hard to find in football nowadays it seems unlikely he will get the chance to atone for the World Cup.

I fear a Liverpool transfer storm is set to erupt

The end of what has been an incredibly poor World Cup will come as light relief for most tonight, but for me it will mark the start of the Torres and Gerrard transfer storm that intends to engulf the Red side of Merseyside for the next seven weeks. Events in South Africa have seen the journalists (if that is what they should be called) draw their attention away from the domestic scene, but on their return to England the big wooden spoons will be out in force stirring up trouble.

Why we are no strangers to negative press within the media, I do feel that over the passing years they have become destructive in their methods to unsettle and destabilise football clubs. Steven Gerrard and Fernando Torres in particular are likely to be their main focus, as they look to build on their personal destruction of Rafa Benitez in the last 12 months.

I never understand their motivation in looking to drive the best players away from the Premier League, but like with Fabregas at Arsenal they clearly have no shame in doing their level best to fabricate stories and quotes in order to stir the mix. As this excellent article I read suggests ‘Torres is being forced out of Anfield’ and I have a genuine fear that they really real.

As a Liverpool fan I have always failed to understand why the club (who have always claimed that they have no intention of selling both Gerrard and Torres) fail to nip these rumours and speculation in the bud by insisting that both players conduct a press conference committing their futures to the club. For me that would be the logical option and one that will end all talk in one short statement. Unfortunately I doubt the club share my view here and instead they choose to turn their back therefore allowing the rumours to manifest themselves on a daily basis, until the transfer window eventually closes. It promises to be an uncomfortable next few weeks and I for one hope, that come September 1st, we emerge unscathed.

FINALLY someone sees the positives of PL’s new ruling

So much has been written about the Premier League’s proposed quota system and to be honest most of it has been negative; however Richard Scudamore finally has someone applauding his policy. Wayne Rooney has given the move his full backing and believes it vital to the future of England and the Premier League.

“I think the new home-grown rules coming in are important.

“As an academy graduate myself I like to see young players coming through because I think they’re vital for the future of England and the Premier League.

“I also think it’s important for clubs to have a bunch of home-grown players because they are the lads who know their history.”

I for one couldn’t agree more and whilst most supporters only care for their own clubs, before country, the fact remains that with the exception of the likes of Everton and West Ham home-grown English youngsters are not being given the opportunity to progress from the youth team right through to the first XI. The counter argument is that if they were good enough then they’ll come through; a naive and throwaway comment in my opinion because how do you know if they are good enough if they are not given the chance in the first place? The new quota ruling will increase the probability and hopefully give Fabio a bigger pool of players to choose from as a result.

Fabio Capello was widely criticised for not attending the England U19s tournament in France, but what would have been the point? Let’s be honest how many of that squad are going to get anywhere near the first team at their respective clubs in the next two years, therefore the whole exercise would have been extremely pointless. Until the football clubs start changing their ways of working then nothing is likely to change therefore the Premier League should be applauded for intervening and ensuring that action is now taken. The results of this quota ruling won’t happen overnight, but you would hope that come the next World Cup the England manager will have a damn sight more options available to him throughout the squad.

Premier League trio on alert as Bremen consider Ozil offers

Werder Bremen’s general manager Klaus Allofs has admitted that Germany midfielder Mesut Ozil may be sold this summer, following his club’s 5-1 friendly defeat at Fulham.

The 21-year-old playmaker impressed at the World Cup finals in South Africa and has been strongly linked with a move to the Premier League, with Arsenal, United and Chelsea all reportedly interested in the talented German international.

Mesut Ozil is in the final year of his contract with Werder Bremen, therefore the German side may well be keen to cash in on him now rather than lose him on a Bosman free next summer.

Allofs commented:“Everything is still possible at the moment. I would like to see the transfer window close now with the team we have, because we are looking forward to competing in the Champions League.

“There are many clubs interested in Mesut. Should there be an offer on the table, we would consider it.”

Chelsea’s 25-man squad – who makes Carlo’s FINAL CUT?

The actual selection of Chelsea’s 25 shouldn’t present too much of a problem for Carlo Ancelotti. He is not in a position where he has to cull a number of players that don’t make the registered 25. Chelsea have 15 foreign squad players, over the age of 21, who will conceivably play a decent amount of games this season. To compliment theses players, they have six players – Lampard, Terry, Cole, Turnbull, Mancienne and Sturridge – who are English; these 21 players are a shoe in for registration and of that there is no doubt.

To complete the 25, and more importantly the 8 ‘homegrown’ players, Ancelotti will have to call upon the players from the youth set up, who are under 21, that he has promised more time on the pitch to. The five main candidates are Nemanja Matic, Patrick Van Aanholt, Jeffrey Bruma, Gael Kakuta and Fabio Borini. Whichever of these are chosen to be the part of the registered 8, and which ever make up the unlimited number of under-21s that a team is allowed to use, becomes a bit of an irrelevance as it won’t have too much of an effect on who Ancelotti picks from day to day.

What this all means is that Ancelotti is gambling by putting his faith in the young, inexperienced players. Should injuries mount up at some point in the season, it will be these players that will have to be called upon. Whereas other clubs will see there under-21s as more of a bonus, Chelsea may have to rely on them slightly more. Chelsea’s squad is only fractionally smaller than last season, although Joe Cole would have been good to have in the squad to free up another slot. Releasing the likes of Belletti, Ballack and Deco was surely done with the new registration in mind, particularly when you consider their age and nationality, not to mention Ballack’s wages.

The reliance on the younger players means that, as it stands, there are only 15 foreign players over 21 that will be registered, thus giving Ancelotti the option, should he choose it, to add two more foreign players to his squad. Personally, I think Chelsea still need another centre-back. Ivanovic, Ferreira, Mancienne and Bruma have all played there, but none have done it either regularly, or particularly impressively, and since Carvalho’s departure it looks like it could be a department that is a little lightweight.

What that leaves with Chelsea with is the following squad of 21:

GK: Cech, Turnbull, Hilario

Def: Terry, Ivanovic, Bosingwa, Cole, Ferreira, Alex, Mancienne, Zhirkov

Mid: Lampard, Essien, Ramires, Benayoun, Mikel, Malouda

For: Drogba, Anelka, Kalou, Sturridge

Two players will have to be added to complete the 8 home grown quota, which I think will be Gael Kakuta and Jeffrey Bruma. That then passes the minimum requirements for the Premier League rules, but will it be enough for Chelsea to compete in four competitions? Luiz and Sergio Ramos are the latest players to be linked with moves to Stamford Bridge, and whether they arrive or not, it is pleasing to see that I am not the only one who thinks another defender is needed. That said, having written down the groupof players, there aren’t a huge amount of midfielders either. If Ancelotti does want to strengthen his squad the he is running out of time, otherwise it is time for the young boys to step up.

The Fernando Torres poser

There is no doubt that Fernando Torres is one of the best strikers in world football. But there is also no doubt that he has not made enough appearances for Liverpool in last couple of seasons for a club that relies upon his services so much. Transfer fees are at an all time high, with clubs like Real Madrid, Barcelona and Manchester City paying astronomical amounts for new additions to their squads. Would now be a good time for Liverpool to cash in on Torres, and bring in some new blood to what is looking like a stale team?

Rafael Benitez’ reign at Anfield was certainly a mixed bag when it came to transfers, with some inspired, and others utterly hopeless. Fernando Torres was arguably Benitez’ most prominent, and his best signing in his time as manager of Liverpool. In his first season, Torres was absolutely sensational. The Spanish hitman played 46 games for the club and scored an incredible 33 goals, cementing his reputation as one of the most feared hitmen in Europe. Torres had more to his game than just goals though, his terrific pace constantly posed problems for defences in the Premier League and in Europe, and his aerial threat gave Liverpool good options going forward. Torres is the embodiment of the complete centre forward, but his last two seasons with the Reds have not been as fruitful as his first.

The problem for Torres is not his goal-scoring record, which has been consistently excellent, but the fact that injuries have started to have an effect on his career. Last season Torres only managed 22 league appearances, and the fact that he is the only top class striker at Liverpool means this is a major problem for the club. It is a situation mirrored at Arsenal, where Robin van Persie, another hugely talented player, often misses large chunks of the season through injury. Arsene Wenger has tried to remedy this by bringing in Marouane Chamakh over the summer, but at Liverpool, there is a dearth of strikers that can take Fernando Torres’ place. Torres has not enjoyed a great start to this season, and with finances tight at Liverpool, it might be worth considering letting the Spaniard go sooner rather than later.

There would surely be no shortage of suitors. If Liverpool were willing to let him go it might even provoke a bidding war, and a transfer fee in the area of £50 million is not an outlandish figure. Selling Torres would only work if Roy Hodgson was allowed to spend the bulk of the money he received, and if this was the case he would be able to bring in a number of quality players to strengthen what is looking like a relatively weak squad.

A striker or even two could be brought in, Ajax’s Luis Suarez could well be worth a look at, and another centre-back would not go amiss. A top class winger too, would be a worthy acquisition for Liverpool. If Hodgson received a fee in the region of £50 million, he would be able to buy three or four top class footballers, and that would surely make Liverpool stronger than their current status, albeit without Fernando Torres in the equation.

No one would dispute that Torres is one of the worlds best centre forwards. But his injury problems are a major issue for Liverpool, and the squad definitely needs strengthening. In the current financial state of the club, selling Torres might be the only way to achieve this. Liverpool fans would be upset to see a player who has become a hero for them go, but in the long term, it might just prove the best course of action the club can take.

Fulham set to welcome back Moussa Dembele

Fulham striker Moussa Dembele has made a return to training three weeks after he was originally thought to have suffered a broken leg.

The Belgium international was the victim of an ill-judged tackle from Stoke’s Andy Wilkinson during the closing stages of a Carling Cup defeat in September.

Dembele, a £5million summer signing from AZ Alkmaar, was stretched off amid fears of a serious injury, but has now returned to training and could be in contention for a first-team return this weekend.

He told the club’s official website:“Now it’s all right. I’ve already trained three times with the group and I’ve had no pain, just if I shoot really hard, then I have a little bit.

“But I think in the following days that will disappear. I’m happy that the injury wasn’t that serious.”

Meanwhile, the 23-year-old believes he has already improved his game just weeks after moving to England.

“It’s good for me because I can become a better footballer through training with good players,” he added.“I like English football very much, the stadiums and supporters are nice and the game is very fast.

“It’s also hard but I like it very much. I’m really happy that I came to the Premier League.

Michael Owen drops retirement hint

Manchester United striker Michael Owen has hinted that he may decide to retire from the game if he is not offered a new contract at Old Trafford.

The 30-year-old former England ace's current deal runs out at the end of the season and he seems unlikely to extend his time with United into a third season.

Owen told The Sun:"I would honestly love to stay, but you will have to ask the manager about the long term. I could score at this level for many years and would love it to be at a top club like United.

"Whether I would want to be dropping down to a poorer Premier League team, I don't know. Yes I could score goals but I would probably get less opportunities and less enjoyment.

"I just don't feel my game is suited to a team that is really struggling. I won't drop down the leagues.

"I have played in big teams before and played every game and I have played in a struggling team. I know which I prefer. When you play here, you play with quality.

Walcott and Bale finally fulfilling the hype

Theo Walcott and Gareth Bale are both players who played for Southampton before joining a ‘bigger’ club. They are also, perhaps, players who for a while, we’ve wanted to see more of. Criticism is often levelled at Walcott for a bad decision-making process. There are always those frustrating moments in his game when he’s left his marker for dead and chooses to pass instead of shoot or vice versa. Bale despite being labelled one of the brightest young talents currently in the game, and certainly being one of the best left-side players in the game has on many occasions failed to live up to his billing.

I would suggest that in Bale’s case this is because of a misunderstanding of the kind of player he is. He had a decent first season for Spurs, where his free-kicks in particular caused defences a lot of problems. Even so, who can forget that Bale went through 25 Premier League games before recording his first Spurs win? His sophomore season for Tottenham wasn’t a great success either, as he struggled to adapt to his role as a Left Back. It wasn’t until Harry Redknapp had the confidence to use Bale higher up the pitch that Bale began to excite fans once more.

The trouble with Bale is that he’s not as flashy or tricky as a number of other high profile players and as a result he has to do something really special to get noticed (like score a hat-trick at the San Siro). Bale is perhaps best defined as a player by his inexhaustible engine, his fast and direct running and a great work ethic. Walcott has up until now been defined by his pace. But now the signs are there that these players are willing to push on an become the world-class players that they seem destined to be. All it takes is a little consistency.

As mentioned before, Bale made the media sit up and listen with his hat-trick at the San Siro. Nobody expects this week in and week out, but Bale’s energy and determination will be vital if Spurs are to maintain their challenge for a top four position this season. He has, through hard work, become a very important player for them and if he keeps turning out such vital and charismatic performances, then it’s likely he’ll earn his label as the best left-sided player in the Premiership.

Walcott, despite only just returning from a six-week layoff, seems to be enjoying himself. He scored a double last night in Arsenal’s Carling Cup clash with Newcastle and has an amazing 6 goals in 6 appearances for his club this season. After the game Wenger had this to say regarding Theo’s development: “Theo Walcott is 21 years old – that’s the age where other players start to play. He is a very young boy and he is a very intelligent player and that’s why I believe he will continue to develop normally.”

Develop normally? Despite difficult starts to their top-flight careers, Walcott and Bale are currently developing extremely well. they are both in form and justifying the hype previously heaped upon them. These are no longer ‘prospects’ or players of the future, they are players to be aware of and for defences to fear in the here-and-now.
