WAGs Or The Carling Cup: Which Is More Important to Football?
Published 11 days ago by The Gaffer at EPL Talk
By Brian Phillips, Run Of Play
I can still remember the day I first asked myself the question. Accrington Stanley had gone down to Leyton Orient in an early-round Carling Cup match, and like all other football fans everywhere in the world, I immediately logged on to the website of The Sun in order to jot down the relevant statistics and learn why I ought to be furious.
There, to my surprise, I noticed in the corner of the screen a thumbnail image of a woman so astonishingly curvaceous it was if she’d ...
Extra Time: European Football’s Battle With The Time Zone
Published 8/19/2008 by Richard Whittall at Pitch Invasion
... AM. Games are watched over coffee, eggs, toast, and bacon. Traditionalists will wait an agonizing hour or two at the local pub eyeing the flat screen until beer can be served, but most of the time, matches are enjoyed at home in the quiet of a Saturday morning. For this reason, European soccer in Canada and the US tends to be a more solitary affair. The sobriety of the dawn helps reveal the game’s many idiosyncrasies.

BLOGGER INTERVIEW! :: The Run of Play
Published 6/4/2008 by Zach Dundas (noreply@blogger.com) at du Nord
... I've spent a lot of time trying to work out how much I need to cover the news and how to set the balance between more abstract or conceptual posts and posts that rely on more conventional argument and opinion. I go through phases when I feel like I need to cover every transfer story and phases when it seems okay to spend a week ignoring the rest of the soccer world and writing strange fantasias about the email autoreply system at Arsenal. I've probably felt more free to do the latter as the ...

Readers’ Choice: The Run of Play
It’s rare to come across articulate bloggers, even rarer to meet articulate football fans. The Run of Play would be a worthy candidate for a host of awards and with memorable articles like these, it’s no wonder that Brian’s blog got the most votes in this year’s awards. If you’re looking for news on the Premier League and English football in general, you’ll be hard pressed to find a better blog than ...
Africa Cup of Nations Team of the Tournament

... Was outstanding in Egypt’s semi-final win over Cote d’Ivoire, denying Didier Drogba several times. Was also rock solid in the final. Carlos Kameni is worth a mention, his seemingly endless string of reflex saves in the final drawing this brilliant description from The Run of Play’s Brian: “It’s unreal. He looks like Iker Casillas crossed with Optimus Prime.” Angola’s Lamá also produced plenty of impressive reflex saves, but had a vampire like aversion to crosses. Though Al-Hadary wasn’t as flashy he ...
