Alan Green
Manchester United put smile back on the face of English game
I hope this doesn’t come as a shock: though I’m known for having the occasional, dare I admit it, good whinge…I’d far rather be positive about what I see in football.

Alan Green: Roy Hodgson’s tube boob an insult to Rio Ferdinand

Wednesday, 19 September 2012
Tottenham: before I address Andre Villas-Boas, I must re-iterate that I didn’t understand why Harry Redknapp was ushered through the exit door in the first place.

Alan Green: Whipping boys like Moldova deserve no place at England’s table
Wednesday, 12 September 2012
The first 20 minutes in Chisinau on Friday evening were more than enough to cement in my mind the need to introduce ‘pre-qualifying’ before ‘proper’ qualifying begins for World Cups and European Championships.

Alan Green: Storm clouds ahead for shot-shy Liverpool
Wednesday, 12 September 2012
Again, from afar, I’ve still paid some attention to Liverpool’s rocky start to the season. The Premier League results have been poor but supporters shouldn’t get too down too soon. Remember Arsenal in the last campaign?

Alan Green: Manchester City will remain top dogs
Wednesday, 12 September 2012
The Sports Editor did ask if I might think about making my ‘season’s predictions’ as this column belatedly resumes — my fault — but I though it a little cheeky to ‘predict’ anything when significant matches had already been played.

Alan Green: Drama masked season of little quality
Wednesday, 30 May 2012
You’ll have to forgive me, in my final column of the season, one more whinge.

Alan Green: Life ban would be perfect for Joey Barton
Wednesday, 30 May 2012
Queens Park Rangers will no doubt take a few more days before announcing the result of their deliberations over Joey Barton: ‘do we keep him or do we let him go?’
Alan Green: England are simply daydream believers on European stage
Wednesday, 30 May 2012
One down, one more friendly to go: the phoney war is almost over and, like England, I’m off next week to the European Championships.

Alan Green: Kenny Dalglish was never right fit for FSG
Wednesday, 23 May 2012
Though Kenny Dalglish will be hurting at losing the Liverpool job, I can’t say I was surprised.

Alan Green: FA were wrong to leave Harry Redknapp hanging
Wednesday, 23 May 2012

Alan Green: If Chelsea can be the kings of Europe, so can England
Wednesday, 23 May 2012
One of the consequences of the late finish in Munich and the chaotic transport arrangements after the Champions League final was to force the ‘great and the good’ of the English football media to gather on a station platform near the Arena for a promised train to the city centre that, ultimately, never arrived.

Manchester City triumph was a fairytale script that no-one could have written
Wednesday, 16 May 2012
Any argument that I should ‘quit while I’m ahead’ doesn’t stand up. You see, the longer I’m ‘around’ the likelier I am to witness, first hand, the extraordinary things that can happen in football.

Andy Carroll’s Euro selection was a no-brainer

Venky’s just part of Blackburn Rovers misery

Alan Green: Kenny Dalglish left skating on thin ice at Liverpool
Wednesday, 9 May 2012
Kenny Dalglish will sit down with the Liverpool owners to review the season when it finishes. Every whisper heard suggests he’ll be allowed to continue his task of trying to restore the club to Champions League status. But how many of us forecast Damien Commolli’s sacking?

Alan Green: Fifa will have to move on technology
Wednesday, 9 May 2012
I’m not saying Chelsea didn’t thoroughly deserve to win the semi-final against Spurs and the final against Liverpool: they did, but the memory of those triumphs will forever be tarnished by thoughts of goals that ‘were’ or ‘weren’t’ and Chelsea benefited on each occasion.

Alan Green: Manchester United in decline while Blue Moon keeps rising
Wednesday, 9 May 2012
Perhaps, I’m wrong: perhaps, the two managers concerned are right and the title race isn’t over. But I wouldn’t put too much faith in those billing the final day of the Premier League season ‘Seismic Sunday’ or anything similar.

Alan Green: Chelsea lucky and Terry a disgrace
Wednesday, 2 May 2012
Even at a week’s distance, I find it hard to be calm and balanced about my reaction to that extraordinary game in the Nou Camp. Yes, Chelsea, against overwhelmingly odds, defended heroically but they couldn’t have made it through if Barcelona, by their elevated standards, hadn’t played so poorly.
