Carshalton Athletic had a bad day at the office last Saturday as the club slipped to a first defeat in six, writes James Barrett-Sterling. It was a mouth-watering clash at Colston Avenue as fourth hosted third in the Isthmian Premier, but it was visitors Hornchurch that left smiling after a comprehensive 4-1 victory. That ended the Robins’ run of five straight wins in all competitions ahead of an FA Cup tie against Harrow Borough whom play in the Southern League Premier South. And head coach Keith Boanas has warned his…
Read MoreFive Star Carshalton March On
Carshalton Athletic’s recent good form continued last weekend as the club progressed in the FA Cup, writes James Barrett-Sterling. The Robins visited in-form Bracknell Town last Saturday and beat them 2-0 in the first qualifying round of the world’s premier cup competition. That victory has set up a clash with Harrow Borough in the next round, while Carshalton next host a mouth-watering league encounter with AFC Hornchurch this weekend. And defender Danny Dudley believes the club’s current run of five wins in a row leaves it in an ascendancy. “It’s…
Read MoreFour Straight League Wins
The feel good factor is back around Colston Avenue as Carshalton Athletic enter cup action this weekend, writes James Barrett-Sterling. The Robins, after losing their first two Isthmian Premier matches of the season, have now won four league games in a row after most recently winning 2-0 against struggling Bognor Regis Town. But the FA Cup now looms on the horizon as player/manager Peter Adeniyi and his squad visit Bracknell Town in the first qualifying round this coming Saturday. And assistant coach Keith Boanas hopes the players continue to be…
Read MoreBank Holiday Bonanza for Carshalton
It was smiles all round as Carshalton Athletic registered two wins over the Bank Holiday weekend, writes James Barrett-Sterling. The Robins gained revenge over bogey club Corinthian Casuals by running out 3-2 victors at King George’s Field last Saturday. Then, back at Colston Avenue on Monday, a stunning volley by skipper Paris Hamilton-Downes proved the difference between Carshalton and struggling Leatherhead. Carshalton have now won three consecutive league games and now currently sit in the top five of the Isthmian Premier League. “I’m really proud of the boys, the work…
Read MoreFinally A Win Under Our Belts!
The start of the new season has been anything but straightforward for Carshalton Athletic defender Daniel Pappoe, writes James Barrett-Sterling. The Robins finally got off the mark in their third league game as they defeated visiting Bishop’s Stortford 4-2 last weekend. Pappoe headed in Carshalton’s third goal meaning the centre back has gone from goalkeeper to goalscorer in the space of a week. He had to don the gloves on the opening day of the season after teammate Billy Bishop was injured in the first-half at Potter Bar Town and…
Read MoreCarshalton’s Start to the New League Campaign
A late fight back wasn’t enough to help Carshalton Athletic avoid a second league defeat on Monday night, writes James Barrett-Sterling. After a disappointing 2-0 loss at Potters Bar Town last weekend, a game in which defender Daniel Pappoe has to don the goalkeeper gloves for over an hour, the Robins next faced early pacesetters East Thurrock United. But, despite an energetic start, Carshalton found themselves 2-0 down at half-time as the visitors were more clinical in front of goal than their hosts. The Robins gradually became the more dominate side…
Read MoreGOOD LUCK OLE - YOU ARE GOING TO NEED IT
Same old same old for Manchester United this summer. Yet another bang average transfer window led by the football idiot that is Ed Woodward. Gaps needed filling in the team and whilst the defence was addressed (a year too late by the way) there are still gaping holes in their squad especially in the middle of the park. The reds of Manchester, who let’s be honest are now just a joke of a football club, and laughed at when it comes to sporting operations on and off the pitch. SMOKESCREEN…
Read MoreCarshalton Athletic news
Carshalton Athletic have now completed their pre-season schedule as the club now turns its attentions to the real business of league football this weekend, writes James Barrett-Sterling. The Robins suffered mixed fortunes during their seven friendlies as, while they only lost one of those games, they drew three matches by virtue of conceding several late goals. While pre-season results are ultimately immaterial, Carshalton fans will no doubt hope that trend doesn’t continue when their heroes begin the new Isthmian Premier League season with a trip to Hertfordshire this coming Saturday.…
Read MoreLawrence performs amid Wayne Rooney Derby rumours
Derby County took to the field tonight in West Yorkshire against Huddersfield Town at The John Smith’s Stadium amid rumours Wayne Rooney was possibly joining the club. The news broke around 5pm across TV, Radio and on Social Media that the ex-Everton, Manchester United and England striker could be coming on board as a player-coach. However, neither the Derby board or Philip Cocu himself would confirm anything after the match, so we’ll have to wait and see. As for the game, it was another ex-Manchester United player that stole the…
Read MoreAnother European Trophy awaits these two teams
Not so long ago, Chelsea vs Liverpool or vice versa was a common occurrence as a European fixture, in fact for five straight Champions League seasons between 2004/05 and 2008/09 they played each other home and away. With three of those occasions being a semi-final of the competition as well. Liverpool the more successful as they overcome their London rivals twice to reach the Champions League Final itself. Including on one occasion the infamous Luis Garcia “ghost goal” for Liverpool back in 2005. Did it cross the line? This happened…
