The Grab: 02.08


Apparently, everybody was Kung-Fu fighting at Queens Park Rangers' training ground, as the Chinese Under 23s toured Engerland. You'd think QPR would be a little more friendly toward their Asian brothers, especially after slagging off Chelsea's facilities. [Guardian, Guardian Sport Blog]

Hey, what do ya know, England is still crap, and maybe it's because of that ginger clown with the big teeth at the helm. Steve Gibson comes up with an enlightening view on why the Three Lions are just so frustrating to watch, despite owning (up until now) an overly-priced and underachieving Italian that brought Boro to the UEFA Cup Final [Belfast Telegraph, BBC Sport]

Just how good is the Republic of Ireland? Well, they barely beat a San Marino team that shipped 13 goals against Germany. That's just how good they are. [Daily Telegraph]

Who's making the most in footie? The new Deloitte Football Money League for 2005-2006 is out now. [FinFacts]

And, more YouTube goodies. [Guardian Sport Blog]
