Harry Redknapp reacted angrily to a Sky Sports reporter this weekend who called him a "wheeler dealer." Redknapp snapped at the reporter and told him to f*** off. Watch the above video to see the interview. Redknapp looks obviously rattled when the reporter mentioned the "wheeler dealer" point, but Redknapp seemed more incensed by the […]

Gameweek three of the Barclays Premier League had that business as usual feel to it as it marked the first time in the young season where one or two of those marquee matches weren't on offer. Approaching the weekend, the Aston Villa v Everton clash intrigued me the most, while Manchester City v Sunderland and […]

As a lead-in for this ongoing series, I am new to the English Premier League. Well, I’ve known about the Premier League since my college years.

Love him or hate him, Ashley Cole is the best at his position in England, and arguably the world. While this has been the case for many years (although I'm sure the Evra family might object), under Carlo Ancelotti Cole has transformed from an indefatigable left-back to an integral cog in Chelsea's attacking strategy.

This summer I have followed Roy Hodgson's journey to Liverpool. Hodgson's move to Anfield has taught me some valuable lessons. First, every individual should do what is best for themselves and what is in their heart. Second, a manager has the right to change his mind. Roy Hodgson introduced me to the reality of being […]
