With the title race effectively coming down to just three realistic contenders now, there is only one spot remaining for qualification into next season’s Champions’ League. Currently, Aston Villa are sitting fourth on 48 points, with a nice five point gap separating them from Arsenal who are in fifth. Although Villa have accrued the same […]

The North London derby is always a special match, but this Sunday's encounter will be even more exciting than usual. We'll see the return of Robbie Keane to the Tottenham squad. The Irish striker has a lot to prove. Plus the team needs three points not only for bragging rights but to propel them away […]

Arsenal’s weaknesses have been prevalent in a season more perilous than any under the Wenger regime. Arsenal have neither an experienced nor a competent holding midfielder. Their central defense has been inconsistent. Incompetent moments at the back have cost them points. As of right now, they are the favorites to drop from the Champions League […]

You never commit too soon. Mike Pollitt did just that towards the end of the first half of Wigan's home tie with Liverpool and paid the price. While Mido equalize late in the match, this was a game where Wigan seriously had a chance at getting all three points. Yes it's harsh to blame one […]

I wonder if Manchester City are ready to cut their losses with Robinho at this time. After the impromptu vacation he took last week, all Manchester City seem willing to do is fine him two weeks wages. To that I say 'big deal'. Do you think Robinho cares about missing a couple hundred more thousand […]

Arsenal's Emmanuel Adebayor stars in a new video alongside his virtual doppelganger from the FIFA 09 video game. The video shows Adebayor juggling the ball and passing it to his virtual counterpart and back and forth. The video was produced by Adidas. Enjoy. [display_podcast]

If, like me, you're always looking around the Internet for those hard to find football shirts from your past, frustrated as someone gazumps on you on e-bay for the classic 1987 Tottenham away kit with 3 seconds to go, then there has to be only one website for you to visit: www.classicfootballshirts.co.uk To say it's […]

Sorry Mum. Uh, I mean, sorry Arsene. Okay, this is getting ridiculous, and I don't even support Arsenal. Sure, publicly we talk about the Gunners's depressingly sub-par performance this season as a victory for parity in the Premier League. Privately though, like for instance this morning over a nice warm cup of coffee for what […]

Manchester City’s new ownership sent chairman Garry Cook, brimming with billions, to build a super-club capable of Champions League qualification. The club’s £91m bid for Kaka was a noted fiasco, but, as details have emerged, that’s hardly been their only activity. City reportedly made an equally irresponsible bid for Spain and Valencia star David Villa, […]

So it's all off then, Kaka has shunned the millions on offer to switch the San Siro for Eastlands, turned his back on an alleged £500,000 a week ( A measly take home salary of £260,000 per week after tax) and declared his love for AC Milan. Am I surprised? A little bit, but it's certainly reaffirmed […]

Arsenal have a flawed squad, abundant injuries and a pint-sized transfer budget. To compete for the top four they must supplement themselves, and apparently must do so cost-effectively. A simple measure, and one which would cost nothing, would be to recall Armand Traoré from his loan at Portsmouth. Traoré primarily has been seen in the […]

If Martin O'Neill managed any other club in the Premier League, would he be able to achieve more success than the club's current manager? What if O'Neill was in charge of Chelsea or Liverpool? Could he do a better job than Scolari and Benitez? I believe he could, by far. Read on to find the […]

On a day where the weather saw two Premier League ties called off, one London side will be glad their match was played while Liverpool will be wishing their tie at Stoke City was frozen off. Whenever Arsenal and Bolton get together, you know two things are certain. The first being it will be a […]

So Andrei Arshavin is starting to make loud noises about his future, and it doesn't look like playing in Russia is a part of it. He's telling Zenit St. Petersburg that if he has to, he'll buy out his contract (this is the only link that is currently available, the Telegraph also reported the same […]

In Friday's British newspapers, The Guardian has the scoop that West Ham United's Icelandic owner has just over two months to sell the club before his company, Hansa Holdings faces the possibility of being declared insolvent.
