Middlesbrough FC have today announced that manager Gordon Strachan has parted company with the club, a mere 12 months after initially taking the position. A 2-1 defeat at the weekend to new boys Leeds United in front of a sparse Boro crowd appears to have been the final straw for the club as the former […]

It's an international break! League One and League Two are still scheduled this week, but England's second tier has the weekend off and we have to wait for the debut of Sven (*sigh*) Goran-Eriksson, who on the plus side will probably provide me with plenty material to write about as the season goes on. So […]

Three months and nine league games was all that Portuguese tactician Paulo Sosa lasted in the Foxes hot seat, as the club have announced that they are dispensing of his services as of today. This news is quite bizarre considering Chairman Milan Mandaric has insisted recently that Sousa would be staying, as well as urging […]

A massive apology for a lack of articles lately, I have recently started a master’s degree at University and I have also fractured my ankle (playing 5-a-side) as well as a number of other things that have been happening. But, I am back now and an article from Josh Ashdown of the Guardian recently appeared […]

Before I start I would like to give my condolences to the family of Eric Altshule, as the EPL talk writer sadly passed away recently. I often read Eric's work and even if you didn't agree with his side of the argument all the time, it was great to see someone give a well founded […]

Oh god. This is a bit of a pet peeve for me, it's not really a heated debate as such but it's something that grinds on me and when you realise what I'm talking about, it'll probably grind on you to. In fact it's something that should be argued, because it's usually the opening for […]

Well now that Sky Sports is calming down a bit from its day of "twist and turns" (sure), the transfer deadline is upon us and teams can no longer make any more permanent signings. The football league sides can still sign free agents and make short term loan signings, but any permanent signings in these […]

It's a good week for Welsh football, as not only has one of the greatest ever Welsh players produced become manager of Sheffield United, but a Welsh striker of top Premier League quality has joined the Bluebirds. Gary Speed is expected to be named manager of Yorkshire outfit Sheffield United and Craig Bellamy will make […]

As well as writing about the Championship (which ruined my accumulator at the weekend as I incorrectly predicted four results and got none of them right. Yes I've thought about writing up a letter of resignation) I thought I'd write about some of those talking points in football that are often debated, whether it be […]

Good God. The Premier League may be starting this weekend but the Championship is doing its hardest to get all the attention. It may be bad news for Bristol City today, but it's potentially good news for Leicester City who have found investment from a number of Asian companies, who are in a consortium led […]

Well while many Bristol City fans felt that they had one of their best squads in years a few weeks ago, Steve Coppell has dampened hopes of promotion slightly by announcing his resignation today after only two competitive games in charge. Coppell claims, in his statement, that he has failed to become passionate about managing […]

When you go to watch your team you often meet characters like this, but it isn't too often you get to capture it on film. A sneaky QPR fan turned his attention away from the 3-1 defeat to League Two outfit Port Vale and captured a Rangers fan who was attempting to let Neil Warnock […]

Striker Marlon King has recently been released from prison and after his freedom he conducted an interview with Sky Sports where many thought he came across as quite genuine, although others saw him as a wolf in sheep’s clothing. King still protests his innocence over the offence that saw him given an 18 month jail […]

It all kicks off tomorrow night, as Championship new boys Norwich play host to Watford in the first game of the football league season on a Friday night. This will be the first live game of the English season and I must say that not only as a Championship blogger but also as a football […]

The start of the newly named Npower football league is almost upon us and it all gets under way on Friday night at Carrow Road when Norwich take on Watford. As well as a preview I will be writing on Thursday, I thought I'd pick out 5 players from this season that are worth keeping […]
