Who are some of soccer's forgotten players to win major trophies?

Premiership: Weakened Or Strongest Ever?

The Premiership, probably at the moment, is the most open league for anyone to win since its introduction in 1992.

Apologies for a lack of updates lately, with the amount of work I’ve been doing lately my life mirrors the 'congested holiday fixture list'!

As it's World Cup draw week, I thought I'd share one of my favourite football stories with you, about the first ever World Cup, though it was only for domestic sides at the time.I heard this story for the first time when I was nine, due to it being made in to a television drama […]

What seemed like the perfect opportunity to take the lead in Group F turned out to be a moment of dawning for the Nerazzurri.

Darren Bent's Rant Goes A-Twitter

When I first heard of Twitter, I thought it was a dirty verb, like: "Get Twittered!" or "Go Twitter yourself!" (And maybe there's still potential for that.) Turns out it's a social networking website. And it has undeniably become the Next Big Net Thing. In addition to allowing friends to keep up with each other's day-to-day goings-on, all kinds of organizations from restaurants […]

Do We Really Need A New Football?

Football's magnificence lies in it simplicity. The rules, the tactics, the culture have adopted their own complexities over the years, but boots, nets, linesmen, banners and songs all become luxuries when we acknowledge the lovers of the game would play in the mud in bare feet if they had to.
