Alvin Martin: 'Scousers and cockneys get on. It's the mickey-taking'
Soccer News on Guardian UK &bull Dec 16, 2011
Alvin Martin: 'Scousers and cockneys get on. It's the mickey-taking' Good thanks. So you were playing football this morning? How did that go? Yeah, it was against a team that won a competition through Nivea and it was actually in Brentwood and I'm based in Romford. They were all young, enthusiastic footballers.

Unfortunately we didn't have any legs, so they had plenty of legs over us. We passed the ball for fun,… Full Story »

Four Score
That's on Points &bull Dec 5, 2011
Excuses are like ... Yuuup (tm) ... Yakubu, yes, that Yakubu scored four goals Saturday for Blackburn Rovers in a 4-2 win over Swansea City. That's one of those great sports photos that tells the entire story, as the Swansea players are seemingly in as much shock as everyone else on planet Earth. Alternately, the standing still, jaw dropped, eyebrows raised defense probably (stress probably) isn't the best way to go about business.Fortunately for Swansea, allowing four goals to Yakubu -- who amazingly is only 29 years old -- isn't an instant Willy Wonka Golden Ticket back to the Championship.It… Full Story »
