Our own brave lads might be about to do battle with the mighty French in Paris (insert inappropriate Agincourt reference here), but even though there's nothing on at Wembley this time around that's no reason to miss out on some excellent live international footy this Wednesday evening. Indeed, our new national stadium will be hoping that the continuing prestige of London as a second footballing home for other countries rubs off when venues are......

In part two of our follow up to last year's article on which player's our Premiership clubs should buy we cover Tottenham, West Ham and Fulham. Click here to see yesterday's piece on Chelsea and Arsenal. TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR What was the problem position? Left wing. What did the club do about it? Like rivals Arsenal over their goalkeeping situation, not much. Indeed, Spurs eventually sacrificed England world cup winger Aaron Lennon to the ol'......

> Once again it's the time of year when even many half-hearted football fans feel duty bound to enter a fantasy competition or two, where they choose a portfolio of players whose real Premiership performances earn them points in mini-leagues against friends, work colleagues and, indeed, complete strangers. Everybody has their favourite superstars, but when you've spent half the game budget on four household names, where do you go to fill in the rest of......

Assuming the crews are able to make it past the semi-final, Cambridge and Oxford University's mens' eights will take to the Thames on Saturday at 4:30pm for just under 20 minutes' worth of water borne endeavour that will be watched by between 15 and 100 million television viewers around the world (depending on whose figures you believe) as well as some 250,000 spectators thronging the riverside vantage points. Oxford are the defending champions and......

We were delighted to see Jimmy Bullard fire his new club, Fulham, to their first league win of the season at the weekend with a cracking free-kick. We’re putting his great start at Craven Cottage down to his people skills, demonstrated on a pre-season trip and revealed by the club’s website in the summer: Norm [goalkeeper Mark Crossley] was complaining that his room was too hot because it's over the kitchen. We were at......

It's five miles outside the Greater London border. It's five miles inside the M25. The clincher for us is that it's on the Metropolitan line. Just. Right at the end there, next to Croxley. And so it is that Londonist doffs its cap to Watford's stunning achievement in reaching the Premiership when they crushed Leeds United 3-0 in the Coca Cola Championship playoff final at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff on Sunday. Last night......

There are only two fixtures involving London’s professional clubs this week and neither of them are taking place in the capital, but both have much hanging on them. Arsenal travel to Turin with that all-important 2-0 lead to face Juventus for a place in the Champions League semi-finals, while on Friday evening Crystal Palace continue their improbable late dash for automatic promotion to the Premiership with an away clash at Leicester City knowing that......

In case you hadn't noticed, the Boat Race is taking place this Sunday. The 152nd meeting between the crews of Oxford (dark blues) and Cambridge (light blues) will begin at 4.35pm near Putney Bridge and will finish 17 minutes or so later at Chiswick Bridge. Around 250,000 spectators will line the sides of the Thames, cheering on their favoured boat, with the most popular vantage point being the 'Surrey Bend' near Hammersmith Bridge. You......

Last week, the FA's David Barber showed that whilst he may know a thing or two about stats, he's not much cop at the predictions game. A paltry two out of six for David, who'll have been trying to avoid bumping into Trevor Brooking in Soho Square all week, for fear of receiving a volley of abuse from the apparently mild-mannered but secretly sharp-tongued Essex footballing legend. If the FA can't master this art,......

Just like Arsene, we believe in bringing through fresh young talent. So whereas the Gooners might have Fabregas, Van Persie, Clichy and Flamini, we've got....Dave. Dave come to us through our recruitment drive , and we'd be happy to hear from any other budding sport writers out there. But for now, over to Dave.... Rest easy Chelsea pensioners, unlike a Labour party conference you will not be forcibly ejected from the ground if you......

For once, the reality lived up to the hype... 'Survival Sunday' was as thrilling as promised....unless you were a Palace fan, in which case it was akin to being delivered a series of swift kicks to the bollocks from a livid Chuck Norris (in his prime). Still, followers of the Super Eagles can perhaps console themselves that it could have been worse, as getting walloped 6-0 at Craven Cottage is pretty much as bad......

“I am not quite sure whether I am dreaming or remembering, whether I have lived my life or dreamed it. Just as dreams do, memory makes me profoundly aware of the unreality, the evanescence of the world, a fleeting image in the moving water.” ~ Eugene Ionesco Chelsea, then. Not quite champions yet. Not quite one of Europe's best clubs. Not quite given the respect they think they deserve. They're away to Bolton on......

So it looks like Australia's national football team, the Socceroos are edging closer to ditching the Oceania Football Confederation in favour of the Asian Football Confederation. You're probably wondering a couple of things: 1.What do they possibly stand to gain by such a move? and 2.Why do I give big rat's arse what a bunch of antipodean footballers do anyway? Well, let us explain. The Oceania group, home to such world footballing powers as......

Crystal Palace welcome Manchester United on Saturday, although not their fans if they dare to turn up wearing Eric Cantona masks. United fans are planning to celebrate the 10th anniversary of that kung-fu kick by wearing the masks. The stewarding at Selhurst Park is almost legendary for it's over-officiousness but they're planning to go one step further for the visit of United, with stadium manager Kevin Corner warning: "If they wear [Eric Cantona masks]......
