Alan Green: You’ll get sweet FA
Saturday, 20 September 2008
Call me paranoid if you wish but I'm increasingly certain that one or two
people at the Football Association are rather 'paranoid' about me.

Alan Green: Ronaldo’s talk is cheap and fans wont be fooled
Saturday, 23 August 2008
The summer has been dominated by the on-off transfer sagas of Gareth Barry and
Cristiano RonaldoI hadn't even left for the European Championship yet it
seemed a nailed on certainty that Gareth Barry would be signing for
Liverpool and Cristiano Ronaldo would be off to Madrid.

Alan Green: England's over-paid, over-rated footballers needed to show why their sport hogs headlines
Saturday, 23 August 2008
A couple of month's back, before I went on holiday, the office rang. "You
know, Alan, England are playing the Czech Republic in August? It's theday
after you return from Beijing." "Yes." "I don't suppose
you'd want to do the game?" "Err…no."

Alan Green: It’s time for Spain to reign
Saturday, 28 June 2008
Although I'm generally delighted that Spain are in Sunday's final, I must
admit it's also an occasion for much personal relief.

Alan Green: England 2018 won’t cope with the trials of train travel
Saturday, 28 June 2008
While the wheels are clearing in motion in trying to bring the 2018 World
Cup to England, the last few weeks have reminded me of one glaring
inadequacy facing the proposed organisers: transportation.

Alan Green: McClaren would have been a major Euro flop
Saturday, 28 June 2008
One question keeps spinning in my mind out here: how would England have
done? Well, my answer is 'not very well'.

Alan Green: Ronaldo is behaving like a petulant child
Saturday, 21 June 2008
You may not agree but I have become completely and utterly bored by
Cristiano Ronaldo. His self-obsession is tiresome and reached its nadir the
other night after Portugal's defeat by Germany.

Alan Green: Euro 2008 needs a dose of ref justice
Saturday, 14 June 2008
It took a while to properly kick off, didn't it? Then Portugal and Germany
made us sit up in our seats and Holland and Spain quickly made us stand up.
Yes, there are excellent teams playing in Euro 2008.

Alan Green: Spain to reign and end 44-year pain
Saturday, 7 June 2008
I'd much rather that one or two of the home nations had qualified for the
European Championship that gets under way tonight. Trust me, it's far easier
being away from home for weeks when I'm thinking people listening are truly
as much caught up in what's happening as I am.

Alan Green: Leeds will be back again
Saturday, 31 May 2008
The fantastic crowds on three successive days of play-off finals at Wembley

Nou Camp nightmare for United
Saturday, 26 April 2008
So, actually, we're not that much further on in terms of knowing who'll be
playing in Moscow next month. Yes, you can argue both Chelsea and Manchester
United have an advantage after the first legs but would you be confident of
the outcome?

Chelsea keen to avoid further dose of Anfield blues
Saturday, 19 April 2008
In theory, Chelsea, like Manchester United, are still on course for a
‘Double'. In practice, Avram Grant's side probably said goodbye to their
Premier League hopes when they conceded that stoppage time equaliser to
Wigan.

Alan Green: Classy Gunners Moscow all the way after THAT performance
Saturday, 8 March 2008
Sitting in a lounge at Linate airport in Milan on Wednesday morning waiting

Alan Green: Top four spot will be settled by Mersey
Saturday, 1 March 2008
Though an argument could be made that as many as six are involved I'm
inclined to think the battle for the fourth Champions League spot is between
the two Merseyside clubs.

Columnist Comments

That’s that then. By nature I’m a positive person but unless a miracle happens or we actually manage to beat a decent team away from home, Northern Ireland won’t be going to South Africa in 2010.
• Joe Kernan: Dialogue holds key to GAA’s disciplinary woes
The Disciplinary Task Force has certainly been working overtime lately and the fruits of their labours were seen at the Special Congress last weekend.
