According to the Daily Mail, Mourinho is looking to woo Chelsea legend Frank Lampard on a £30 million deal. Mourinho and Lampard spent three years together when the Portuguese managed […]

Manchester City Attempt To Recall Joe Hart From Birmingham City Manchester City's lack of a proven goalkeeper is putting their Champion's League hopes in serious doubt. City approached the Premier League yesterday to request special permission to execute an emergency loan deal to bring in a keeper for the final two weeks of the season. […]

For me, there is only one English goalkeeper that can be England's number one for South Africa next summer and that man is Paul Robinson. After being so badly treated at Tottenham under Juande Ramos and unfairly blamed for giving away a soft goal for England against Croatia, Robinson has finally got back to his […]

So what makes a great goal? I know it seems a easy question but honestly, what makes a goal truly great? Is it the goal that keeps a side up or a lob from the half way line? The goal that drags a side back in to a game when they're 2-0 or a last […]

So it's official now, Manchester City's owners have shown there true colours with yesterdays sacking of Mark Hughes and replacing him with Roberto Mancini.

What with the takeover and the crazy final […]

When the financial and managerial reins to Manchester City Football Club changed hands early on this season for the second time in fairly quick succession on both fronts, this time with the Blues having instantly catapulted to the top of the world football rich list, everyone’s attention immediately turned to the January transfer window.
