Today's your lucky day. You're the chairman of Queens Park Rangers, Reading and Southampton. You face the decision of whether to stick with your current manager, or replace him. What do you do? Firing someone is always a difficult decision. There are so many variables involved. Is it really the manager that is failing, or […]

If you can't beat them, join them. After Manchester City recently acquired former Barcelona man Txiki Begiristain to become its football director, Begiristain is now reportedly close to signing a deal with acquire Barcelona's former scout Bojan Krkic Sr. (his son plays for Milan on loan). Manchester City are making plans to build for the future, which […]

No pressure Manchester City. But you're expected to win today. It doesn't have to be convincingly — although that would help. But it's time to start playing at the peak of your abilities on the European stage. That's not to take anything away from Ajax of Amsterdam, but this is a match that City should win […]

Wigan messes everything up: One of the beautiful things about football is its capacity to surprise. Giant-killers make the FA Cup – England’s oldest football competition, now sponsored by an American beer company – so much more than just a multiple-round, single-elimination challenge tournament. The underdog is always the best story, and an underdog’s victory […]

I think it’s fair to say that there are many problems with QPR as a team that are keeping them from reaching their potential. The team undoubtedly has talent but a lack of cohesion and discipline on top of poor management has seen them just above the foot of the table on goal difference (thanks […]

Every season you hear the same statements being thrown about: “Manchester United get all the cards,” “The referees are in Sir Alex’s pocket” and so on. So I've taken a look at a breakdown of how cards were given and received by Manchester United, Manchester City, Chelsea, Arsenal and West Bromwich Albion. I chose these […]

You have to admire Southampton manager Nigel Adkins for coming out and saying that he's the favorite to be the first Premier League boss to get sacked this season. Typically managers under pressure will go on the defensive and will keep uttering cliches about taking it from game to game, etcetera. But not Adkins. Interestingly, […]

With Sir Alex Ferguson edging closer and closer to retirement (it has to happen sooner or later, right), Manchester United announced today that it will be erecting a statue of Ferguson outside the Sir Alex Ferguson Stand at Old Trafford later this month. While the above pictured statue isn't the final design (thanks to talkSPORT […]

It's been several weeks since we've had a Monday match to watch. And today we're treated to West Bromwich Albion against Southampton. Steve Clarke's West Brom side has been one of the most under-the-radar sides this season in the Premier League. They play together extremely well as a team, and have an opportunity to move […]

Arsenal is under the microscope yet again. At the beginning of the season, it was “No RVP, no goals, and no Song.” Now it’s cries of “Wenger OUT,” even more-so after the loss at Old Trafford. But, wasn’t this the same Arsenal squad that was apparently the deepest in years? A side that had battle […]

One of the bright shining stars so far this season has been the emergence of Romelu Lukaku as a powerful force in his position as striker for West Bromwich Albion. Last season, Lukaku seemed to be in the shadow of Didier Drogba too much, but at the Hawthorns, Lukaku has been given more playing time […]

Is Roberto Mancini using reverse psychology, or is he being serious, or perhaps downplaying his team's chances in the UEFA Champions League to help manage the expectations of his bosses? Whatever the case, this week's must-win match against Ajax should be riveting to watch. Here are the Premier League news headlines tonight: Roberto Mancini writes […]

Today's two matches in the Premier League feature Reading against Queens Park Rangers followed by Liverpool against Newcastle United. But, in many ways, it's Mark Hughes versus Brian McDermott leading into Brendan Rodgers against Alan Pardew. Pardew is the safe one on the block, but QPR manager Mark Hughes is under tremendous pressure to avoid […]

It was an awful day at the office for Arsenal Football Club on Saturday with a poor performance compounded by Jack Wilshere's red card. And made even worse by two other things: (1) Andre Santos asking Robin van Persie to swap shirts at HALF TIME, and (2) Fergie saying that his side could have put […]
