Alan Green: The best Bar none
You remember how I derided the arrogance of Barcelona and those that salivated
over how they’d beaten Chelsea in the Champions League semi final? I take it
all back.

Alan Green: King Alex will reign in Europe yet again
Monday, 25 May 2009
Have you noticed all this snobbery about Barcelona? Even respected media
colleagues were publicly as well as privately delighted that Chelsea were
beaten in the semi-final.

Alan Green: Catalan complaints are a pain in Barca
Monday, 4 May 2009
Personally, I don’t care which of the three remaining English clubs wins the
Champions League as long as one of them does.

Alan Green: Old Firm move just ridiculous
Monday, 27 April 2009
It’ll be June before the Premier League properly debates Phil Gartside’s
proposals re a new two-tier structure. I only hope the delay doesn’t
dissuade anyone from dumping his ideas in the bin.

Alan Green: Time for a rethink
Monday, 20 April 2009
I suppose I'm as elitist as anyone, spending my working life dealing with the
upper reaches of the Premier League and, of course, the ever so precious
Champions League.

The ‘Alan Shearer bubble' didn't burst on Saturday afternoon on Tyneside nor
were Newcastle's hopes of avoiding relegation extinguished.

Alan Green: It’s going to be all red in Rome
Saturday, 21 March 2009
They say familiarity breeds contempt. That's too strong a word to describe
relations between Chelsea and Liverpool, even between their respective
groups of supporters — each holds Manchester United in higher ‘disregard' —
but both would have preferred to have avoided one another in the Champions
League draw.

Alan Green: Hammer them, Neil
Saturday, 21 March 2009
He's by no means everybody's favourite cup of tea but people should think
before rushing in to condemn Neil Warnock and his intention to sue West Ham
over the Carlos Tevez affair.

Saturday, 21 March 2009
Is it right for fans to boo their own team, their own players?

Alan Green: Beware the sides of March
Saturday, 7 March 2009
I have a close friend who is a Manchester United fanatic. Yes, really, I do.
He will not accept that a 'Quintuple' is possible and neither did I until
very recently.

Alan Green: Benitez decisions are still a puzzle
Saturday, 7 March 2009
Since Liverpool aren't involved in the FA Cup this weekend I'll have to
satisfy my current fixation with brain puzzles by tackling Sudoku and
Polygon in my daily paper — there's no Rafa Benitez selection to frazzle my
thought process.

Alan Green: Liverpool power struggle has to end
Saturday, 28 February 2009
Handed the team-sheet in Madrid on Wednesday night a bad few days for

Alan Green: No thrill in Villa surge
Saturday, 21 February 2009
Two-thirds of the way through the season there have been signs that it's
bye-bye to the 'Big Four' but after lunchtime's clash at Villa Park we will
know if there's substance to their promise.

Darren Boyce will arrive at the Oval today with a point to prove and an eye on
the JJB Sports Irish Cup quarter-finals.

Alan Green: Fab can take heart in loss
Saturday, 14 February 2009
Xavi Alonso was outstanding in Seville yet if Cesc Fabregas wasn't injured
he'd most likely have been playing alongside Senna, Iniesta and Xavi - the
Barcelona version - with the Liverpool player only on the bench.

Alan Green: Van’s not the key man
Saturday, 14 February 2009
I'm not for a second questioning the merits of this fantastic run of games for
Manchester United without them conceding a goal - Samir Nasri's strike at
the Emirates is a fast fading memory - but am I alone in thinking there's
been an excess of praise for Edwin van der Sar?

Alan Green: How long will Hiddink stay?
Saturday, 14 February 2009
You'll know I expected the axe to fall on Tony Adams but I never thought
Scolari was at risk, not before the summer at the earliest.

Alan Green: Derby is Gunner be a real battle
Saturday, 7 February 2009
Unless I absolutely HAVE to be there, I prefer to observe North London derbies
from afar.

Alan Green: Adams won’t last too long
Saturday, 31 January 2009
I take no pleasure whatsoever in saying that I think Tony Adams will not be a
Premier League manager for much longer.
