Co-chairman David Gold has no doubt West Ham will be in a position to frighten the Barclays Premier League's leading clubs once they are playing at a packed out Olympic Stadium. The Irons on Friday launched a new commemorative strip ahead of their final season at the Boleyn Ground before switching to Stratford. With a […]

While Arsenal capped off the season again with its second consecutive FA Cup trophy, the main question on many fans’ minds is whether Arsene Wenger finally has the club set on mounting a serious title challenge for the upcoming season.

I'm a Rochesterian at heart. I went to college there, had family that retired from Eastman Kodak, loved Nick Tahou's, and of course, treasure Abby Wambach. Having said that it's pretty clear that the best forward this generation has known is taking the US Women's National Team (USWNT) on her shoulders, for better or for […]

Liverpool forward Raheem Sterling's latest apparent laughing gas incident is unlikely to have any effect on his club's stance in relation to the player's ongoing transfer saga.

The Clarets have already lost 11-goal striker Danny Ings to […]

Radamel Falcao and Juan Cuadrado can bring the best out of each other at Chelsea next season, according to Colombia coach Jose Pekerman. It is widely reported the Barclays Premier League champions have reached an agreement with Monaco to sign striker Falcao on a season-long loan. Falcao scored just four goals in 29 appearances for […]

Manchester City have made an improved £40million offer for Raheem Sterling, but Liverpool are expected to reject the latest bid. Having had an offer of £25million plus £5million worth of add-ons turned down last week, City have upped what they are willing to pay by £10million. However, that still falls short of the £50million minimum […]

Premier League champions Chelsea will start the defense of their title with a home game against Swansea.
