- Make your mind up, Wales
Talk about wanting to have your cake AND eat it. Cardiff are pushing for the right to play in the UEFA cup by virtue of winning the FA Cup (if they do…) which they technically can’t do as they are a Welsh club and so cannot take an English UEFA cup berth. They plead that […]

- Saturday FA Cup & Premier League round-up (8th March 08)

Called Ground for a Pound, their new site offers visitors the chance to buy a number of pixels on a picture of the ground at £1 […]Popularity: 30% [?]
- Missing Men game
Soccer AM have a lot of Football-oriented distractions on their site, but my current favourite is the Missing Men game, where you are presented with a past match from the archives and you have to fill in each starting player that day. Good test of the memory and your footballing knowledge… check it out.
