Wigan Athletic have named Kolo Touré as their new manager. The former Arsenal, Manchester City, and Liverpool defender previously worked under Brenden Rodgers at Leicester City. Prior to coaching at Leicester, Touré was also a technical assistant at Celtic as well. The move makes Touré the first ever African international to ever manage a senior […]

Well this season is just getting harder and harder to predict. Having just absorbed last week’s action Game Week 15 is here and no doubt will throw up plenty more surprises. The Premier League weekend kicks off Saturday lunchtime at Villa Park. Two wounded team’s line up looking to bounce back from disappointing results. The […]

It’s the North London derby this weekend. Arsenal, who are fast becoming serious title contenders play Host to Tottenham. The Gunners sit second, 2 points behind Chelsea. Tottenham find themselves seventh after a much needed win against Blackburn last weekend. Three points for either side would see them make significant strides up the Premier league […]

Yesterday's result at Anfield has seen a lot of chatter around this and other Blogs, mostly negative and mostly about Liverpool.

Although it makes for some interesting television in the final few days, particularly in the January version, I believe that the transfer window […]

It's been a while since I wrote an update, largely because there has only been a few new moves to bring you up to speed on. Largely deals have been getting bogged down with work permit issues, medicals and arguments over terms and fees. The action has started to pick up in the last few […]
