In announcing the altogether dryer prospect of an ‘All-Party Parliamentary Football Group’ (APFG) inquiry into football’s ... http://www.rightresult.net/2008/05/09/far-too-long-far-too-lax/ Saturday 3 May 2008 Saturday was Judgement Day in the world of the Right Result. Manchester United were confirmed as champions while Reading and Birmingham City will join Derby County in next season's virtual Championship. To add an additional nail into Reading's coffin, they should have suffered a heavier defeat than ... http://www.rightresult.net/2008/05/05/reading-v-tottenham-hotspur-judgement-day/ Sunday 27 April 2008 Everton are the only club in this season's Premier League who have yet to be awarded a penalty. We believed that should have changed in Game No. 36 with Aston Villa's visit to Goodison Park. Shortly before the first of the four shared goals in a pulsating ... http://www.rightresult.net/2008/04/28/everton-v-aston-villa-penalty-patience/ Saturday 26 April 2008 Birmingham City earned a vital point in their battle against relegation with their draw against Liverpool.

Blues' Radhi Jaidi was shown to be in an offside position in a direct line between the free-kick and ... http://www.rightresult.net/2008/04/28/birmingham-city-v-liverpool-driven-to-distraction/ Like Muttiah Muralitharan, you could spin it both ways. The Premier League’s (PL) top-four is the same old, same old. And it’s Liverpool/Chelsea in the Champions League semi again. But there’s a prospect of three of them winning fewer trophies than Milton Keynes (let’s drop the ‘Dons’, it’s a nonsense). ... http://www.rightresult.net/2008/04/28/yer-actual-football/ There was me thinking Bournemouth’s tale would have a happy ending or at least an ending in sight. Alongside Mansfield and Southampton, Bournemouth’s woes were almost romantic. The team’s remarkable win at Champions-elect Swansea, one-nil down with NO minutes left, suggested another Easter resurrection, their relegation nowhere as assured as ... http://www.rightresult.net/2008/04/22/cherry-red/ Sunday 20 April 2008 For the second week in a row, Aston Villa have enjoyed an emphatic win against struggling opposition.

It could have been a climbable mountain had Pompey been awarded a legitimate penalty with the score at ... http://www.rightresult.net/2008/04/21/manchester-city-v-portsmouth-defoe-denied/ Saturday 19 April 2008 Manchester United's trip to Chelsea next Saturday is being billed as a title decider and, but for a mathematical freak, United will be crowned champions of the Right Result table if they avoid defeat at Stamford Bridge. That's because we believe they should have taken three points ... http://www.rightresult.net/2008/04/21/blackburn-rovers-v-manchester-united-almost-there/ Saturday 19 April 2008 Gavin McCann became the hero for Bolton Wanderers with the winner at Middlesbrough that has given the struggling Wanderers a Premier League survival lifeline.
