International Break…clinging to straws.

Sun, 05 Sep 2010 18:17:27 +0100

International breaks are about as exciting as test cricket (don’t argue), and so I’ve managed to miss an entire week, and failed to cover no events in that time. The Barnsley Newsnow has never been this empty; right now the only three articles in ‘Top Stories’ are about cricket.

So, I’m bucking that trend by actually talking . . . → Read More: International Break…clinging to straws.

Barnsley 2-0 Middlesbrough: Completion.

Mon, 30 Aug 2010 09:58:29 +0100

Where are those pre-season pundits now, those who once guessed at the certain doom of Barnsley. They’ve melted away into the shadows following the best start to a season since our promotion, and it is looking a lot like we won’t be playing catch up for once as well, what with our top 10 position.

Match Preview: Boro come t’Well.

Fri, 27 Aug 2010 15:18:19 +0100

This has truly been one of the least eventful weeks imaginable. It’s the transfer window, clubs are signing players, but there’s been no real news at all. Plenty of Hume rumours, plenty of striker rumours, but nothing has happened, and I think it’s looking likely that we will be getting only loans from now on.

So, we . . . → Read More: Match Preview: Boro come t’Well.

Great Zeus, they’re back.

The Reserves are Back..Should They Have Gone?

Tue, 24 Aug 2010 13:29:50 +0100

A year ago, shortly following the first few games, our now ex-manager Simon Davey cancelled the reserve team, citing the fact that there was a high cost and it brought very few benefits to the first team.

At the time this was met with indifference. Nobody cared a lot about the reserves because the squad Davey had . . . → Read More: The Reserves are Back..Should They Have Gone?

Bristol City 3-3 Barnsley: Entertainment at all Costs

Sun, 22 Aug 2010 13:47:01 +0100

Anybody want to complain about our attack now? Thought not. I was as happy as the next guy to criticise how ineffective we’ve been up front so far but, man, was that overturned yesterday. And yes, I know that Bristol’s defence gave us a big hand with that, but it was 3 goals, and it could . . . → Read More: Bristol City 3-3 Barnsley: Entertainment at all Costs

Agents….Grrrrrrrr…..

Thu, 19 Aug 2010 12:27:49 +0100

There really aren’t many figures in football more universally despised than agents. The news frequently reports stories involving the agent, but it is never favourable, and as result it has reached a stage where fans just wish agents would F-off.

What is their purpose? Well, it’s like this. Footballers do have the PFA as a union, however . . . → Read More: Agents….Grrrrrrrr…..

Wed, 18 Aug 2010 14:54:45 +0100

If a player is sold, it’s a high profile incident, and we see which club the player has gone to, ala Brian Howard who, as we all know, is now at Reading. If a player leaves in dramatic or controversial circumstances then that is a big event, an example is Bogdanovic, clearly now at Blackwell’s old dumping ground. In . . . → Read More: What did they do next?
