Super Bowl 51: psychology and human endeavour

by Michael Jones

Tom Brady, the New England Patriots quarter-back, is defeated. His head hangs and his shoulders are slumped. The Patriots are 20-0 down in the second quarter, falling victim to an efficient Atlanta Falcons team. The image is now iconic; it showed how a man at his lowest ebb rose from the depths of despair, trumping […]

Morgan Schneiderlin and the death knell of footballing tradition

by Michael Jones

Outrage. Fury. Bewilderment. No, we’re not talking about the pervasive reaction to Donald Trump’s recent Presidential victory. We’re talking about Morgan Schneiderlin’s heinous crime against football – opting for the no.2 to adorn the back of his shirt. He tried to make light of it, explaining that his name was already too much of a […]

The failure of Jürgen Klinsmann’s American dream

by Michael Jones

It was meant to be the appointment to  herald a new dawn for American soccer, but the sun only flirted with emergence and earlier this month Jurgen Klinsmann’s time in charge of the U.S. Men’s national team came to a lamentable end. The German coach was charged with fulfilling the desire naturally latent within everything […]

Exeter City held by Luton

by Michael Jones

Exeter City were held to a 0-0 draw by Luton Town in a game of very few chances, reflecting the fine margins upon which League Two is balanced. A bitterly cold Saturday afternoon saw both sides fail to warm up in the first half. Exeter’s Pierce Sweeney came the closest in breaking the stale deadlock […]

Gary Lineker and outrage culture gone mad

by Michael Jones

Gary Lineker’s fundamentally humane and compassionate comment on the migrant crisis sparked a craze of misguided and deplorable criticism, most notably from the notorious Sun, who called for his removal from BBC’s Match of the Day. Branded, most crudely, as a ‘Leftie Luvvie’ by The Sun’s ever original team of alliterative geniuses, the ex-England international […]

The Sky Bet Football League Round Up – Gameweek 45

by Michael Jones

Burnley regain top-flight status The Premier League will welcome Burnley back next season as they finished their impressive, and ultimately efficient, campaign to regain top-flight status. A Sam Vokes header was enough to see off QPR at home; with Middlesbrough and Brighton playing each other on the final day, a two-point gap between the chasing […]

The Sky Bet Football League Round Up – Gameweek 44

by Michael Jones

The Sky Bet Championship A 3-1 win for Brighton over League One bound Charlton meant they are now level on points with both Burnley and Middlesbrough at the top of the league; the Borough were held to a 0-0 draw at home by Ipswich, and with Burnley winning on Friday night, all three clubs are […]

Why are there so many injuries in the Premier League?

by Michael Jones

Premier League teams boast impressive medical resources: team doctors, physiotherapists, physical trainers, nutrition experts and state-of-the-art equipment. Stoke City’s Shaqiri said that whilst at Inter Milan he was sent to a “miraculous healer who lived in the mountains”, whereas at the Britannia, “there are seven physiotherapists, who will examine me every day”. Yet, injuries still remain […]
