Many consider the Premier League the pinnacle of club football globally. Fans argue it is the most competitive, fast paced and combative league in the world. Each team is rife with world class talent, managerial expertise and stadiums with unparalleled atmospheres and passionate fanbases. Who wouldn’t want to manage a team in the English Premier […]

In a season where the passion and relevance of the English F.A cup have been in question, one team defies the odds and shows a true cup spirit. Of course I am referring to Reading, the team who have become all to familiar to football fans around the world after deservedly knocking out Liverpool in […]

In a weekend hit by weather misery here in the UK thanks to the government's clear lack of contingency, Derby did manage to get their game against Scunthorpe United kicked off but in hindsight would rather they'd followed the lead of many of the other English clubs decision. The Irons battered Derby 4-1 at Pride Park […]

So it's official then, Owen Coyle will be the new manager of Bolton Wanderers and Burnley now have to find the right man to replace him as they look to continue the good work this season has produced. It is crucial that the chairman, Barry Kilby, makes the right decision in who to appoint as […]

I remember when the January transfer window first came to football. Forgive me if I can't remember the exact year but I remember FIFA decided that it was a good idea to help all the small clubs hold onto their top players for larger parts of a season. Nobody could have predicted the level of […]

This decade has seen the Premiership continue to grow and attract some of the worlds greatest players throughout the last ten years. By continuing to attract some of the biggest stars in the world, only La Liga can truly consider itself a rival for the quality of the players on show throughout the league. Yet […]

The championship can be one of the most exciting leagues in the world […]

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'! Unfortunately this weekend we have once again discovered that the UK is the only country more efficient in a world war than being in a snow 'storm'. Early season promotion favourites […]

Unless you only prefer to read the opinions of actual celebrated and well-recognised figures in football, you've probably come across Stan Collymore's ludacris proposal to "make the Premiership better". If you can't be bothered to read through it (and I don't blame you), Collymore basically thinks around 20-25 teams who he believes to have the […]

Cast your mind back to May 2009, Manchester United were comprehensively and soundly trounced in Rome by a magical Barcelona side, inspired by Xavi and Iniesta. For many, the lack of quality in the centre of the park was plain to see, Carrick looked lethargic and unsure of himself, Fletcher was missed, this, a surprise […]

I dedicate this post to Otilino Tenorio, who died 4 years ago this week in a car accident at the age of 25. At the time of his death, he was the league leader in goals scored in his home country of Ecuador. It is appropriate that his name lives on at the top of this […]
