Why must Pompey players suffer?

I would hate to be Andrew Andronikou right now. In fact, I can’t think of many people with a worse job. Andronikou is, of course, the administrator of nearly bankrupt Portsmouth – the first club to enter administration since the Premier League was founded in 1992. He’s made the bizarre decision to [...]

Al Fahim’s Portsmouth adventure should never have happened

Flashy “tycoon” Sulaiman Al Fahim is no more. He owned Portsmouth for little over two months, having taken control of the club in August. The club now has the laughable record of having had as many owners as points they have after eight gameweeks this season. This is the shortest stint as owner in Premier League [...]

So, Joel Santana, Bafana Bafana coach has finally announced his squad that will participate in the Confederations Cup in a couple of week’s time. Of course the biggest talking point is that of the exclusion of Benni McCarthy, I know Benni has had his moments with the call ups, but do you think the South [...]

Portugal 2 – 0 Bafana: What went wrong?

Okay, so now it’s like 1:30am and I’m calm enough to write something about Bafana.

It’s not that I’m being negative, but truthfully speaking what have we achieved under the guidance [...]

FOOTBALLfevr is a month old today and it’s been a damn good month!

Exactly on the 10th of last month after some long preparation and research we launched FOOTBALLfevr with the aim of giving all football lovers in South Africa and around the world a platform to express themselves about issues that affect the beautiful game. I think it is worth mentioning that South African football lacks realistic analysts, [...]

Aaron Mokoena is just not cut out for Bafana, period!

I’m not usually the one to have a go at players, but this one player is just begging me to do it. Of course that’s none other than Bafana captain, Aaron ‘Mbazo’ Mokoena. With 2010 around the corner, I think I have the right to be concerned. This guy is always found suspect when Bafana Bafana [...]
