Revenge is a dish best served cold. When Marco Silva was thrown out of Watford for having his head turned by those bluenoses, Everton, he was accompanied by a cacophony of curses from all Hornets fans, including yours truly. But with respect to my fellow Rookery enders, a curse from Capricorn Research carries a lot […]

Eight games in and already eight points behind. This was unthinkable at the start of the season. It was true that everyone had the Premier League down as a two horse race, the new La Liga, but even so Manchester City were the favourites. Since the Abu Dhabi buyout in 2008, City have been by […]

They say you should never go back. Up until this year Zinedine Zidane had always demonstrated a magnificent sense of timing. As one of the all time great attacking midfielders, timing your runs ( or in Zizou’s case – leisurely strolls ) into the box just perfectly tuck away a pass that no-one else was […]

Many footballers are superstitious but Napoli manager Maurizio Sarri takes the whole packet of digestives. He was an hour late for training one day because a black cat crossed his path and he had to stop his car and wait until another car passed him. But it was a quiet country road and no-one came […]

” No man can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one, and love the other or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. ”   – Some Jewish bloke called Matthew, address probably around  London N17. One of the great joys of astrology is […]

We all know that things are not perfect and that something should be done about the injustices that exist, but this week a late decision to take action to rectify a perceived wrong was taken based on debatable evidence that could have catastrophic consequences for the future of mankind. Despite the fact that most of […]

The league table never lies. Arsenal have the Sun in Sagittarius. This is their record for full seasons while Pluto was in that sign from 1996-7 – 3, 1, 2, 2, 2, 1, 2, 1 ( Invincibles ), 2 until it passed the club’s Sun at 19 SG in 2005. Since then ermmmm. Most people […]

With the unexpected demise of their arch rivals, Barcelona, can anyone stop Real Madrid from winning 3 in a row ? Maybe not because the one team that stopped them last time, was cursed never to win it again for 100 years. In 1960 Real won their 5th European Cup in a row with an […]

A simple knowledge of astrology should be compulsory in all football boardrooms. Its just common sense that you should never take a Cancer’s home away. Like the Crab, this sign will form a strong emotional attachment to its home, particularly if its a noisy and cramped setting like Upton Park. Many West Ham fans would carry […]

Ask anyone to name the top three sides in world football and they’ll likely come up with Real Madrid, Barcelona and Bayern Munich.
