If Mike Ashley wants to do the right thing and avoid being run out of Newcastle, he needs to sack Dennis Wise and get on his knees to convince Kevin Keegan to stay at Newcastle United. King Kev is hardly a master tactician but what he does have is an immense passion for the Tyneside […]

After a relatively internet free long weekend I return to see three new pages of posts on this blog. As I catch up on the news about the flurry of buying activity on the last day of transfer markets I am perplexed to see there is not one article I can write about transfers. So […]

With all of the activity in the Premier League transfer window yesterday, the excitement is already building for the next round of Premiership games. After the international break, there are two massive games we have to look forward to on September 13: Liverpool against Manchester United (7:45am ET/12:45pm UK) and Manchester City v Chelsea (12:30pm […]

Saturday's match between Arsenal and Newcastle featured a glimpse of something you rarely see on television — someone drinking a pint of beer. It's ridiculous, really. Millions of football fans around the world drink beer either at home, the pub or from the refreshment kiosks when watching football, but it's against the law in England […]

Imagine an all-star team of footballers featuring the top names in the sport. Cristiano Ronaldo, Kaka, Cesc Fabregas, Fernando Torres, Thierry Henry, Robinho and David Villa. Now imagine all of these players on the same team, Manchester City. Before yesterday, that notion sounded ridiculous, but now that the Abu Dhabi United Group is in charge […]

Many Manchester United fans have been waiting for the day to see Berbatov wearing a Man United shirt, and here it is. Talk about a sheepish grin. The lad must be counting in his head how much money he'll be making each week and what he plans on spending it on.

Manchester United has confirmed that they've captured the signing of Dimitar Berbatov for a transfer fee believed to be worth £30.75 million. As part of the deal, Man United striker Fraizer Campbell will join Tottenham Hotspur on a season-long loan. "This is a key signing. Dimitar is one of the best and most exciting strikers […]

Reportedly Manchester United have matched the earlier bid made for Dimitar Berbatov by Manchester City and have agreed to add Frazier Campbell to the package. The Berbatov saga looks to have finally come to an end; with Manchester United apparently putting forward an English record bid for the Bulgarian striker. United manager, Alex Ferguson, will […]

Manchester United's website has Dimitar Berbatov featured as one of its first-team players (see above screenshot). While a final decision has yet to be announced regarding whether Berbatov will join Man United, Manchester City or Real Madrid, the webmaster at ManUtd.com either knows something we don't or is working ahead of time to ensure that […]

I got up this morning expecting another tense, dull day to be spattered with the occasional factual transfer as the transfer window creaked shut getting excited about nothing much in particular. A day spent scouring the BBC and Sky Sports transfer vidi-printers and tutting at bored 14 year old's just texting and e-mailing rubbish to […]

Manchester United will have been flabbergasted by Manchester City's shock last minute, albeit uncompleted, move for Dimitri Berbatov. The Bulgarian forward was all set to be the spearhead of what would have been the most potent striking force in the Premiership. However as City's bid was accepted United are in a whole lot of bother; with no […]

According to Sky Sports News, Manchester City has made a shock bid for Dimitar Berbatov which has been accepted by Spurs. Incredibly, Tottenham is reported to have made a bid in excess of £30 million. The massive transfer fee makes him the most expensive transfer signing in British history. Man City manager Mark Hughes says […]

Today marks the last day of Premier League football until the league returns on Saturday, September 13 when Liverpool plays Manchester United at Anfield — two whole weeks off because of World Cup qualifying matches. So here are today's matches for us to enjoy while we can: Chelsea v Tottenham, 8:30am ET/1:30pm UK Sunderland v […]

I'll have more analysis and comments later but for now just a quick update on the results of today's drawing. Some of the groupings, as in past seasons, was almost a bit too predictable but there are some interesting matchups ahead (Real Madrid – Juventus springs to mind as does Manchester United – Celtic and […]

Admit it. There are some players in the Premier League who get under your skin. The type of players you love to hate. But who are they and why do you hate them so much? Names of players who often get fans irate include: Ashley Cole (Chelsea) John Terry (Chelsea) Frank Lampard (Chelsea) El Hadji […]
