In what has been billed as the best Premier League of the weekend (let's certainly hope so), there is so much in store for today including the biggest clash of the day between Newcastle United and Liverpool as well as West Ham against Manchester City, and much more. It'll be intriguing day to say the […]

It's been a few weeks since I've written, the reason being that the most recent discussions on football have left me dispassionate. I didn't care about the World Cup bids and their destinations and don't talk to me about current football fashion issues. If anything the last few weeks have been the same old stories […]

Watford pulled off a massive shock in the Championship last night beating Queens Park Rangers by three goals to one in a televised Friday night encounter. This defeat means that QPR lose the opportunity to extend their lead at the top of the table and fall agonisingly close of equalling the clubs record unbeaten run, falling just one short on nineteen.

Hannover's head coach Mirko Slomka has no real reason to be pleased with his side's performance on the night, but he'll be delighted with another three points. Didier Ya Konan, who has burst into life this season with an already impressive 7 goals and 4 assists, added another two to his tally to secure the […]

Four of the top five battle it out with each other this week while Man City travel to bottom of the table West Ham. Arsenal could end gameweek 17 in fourth position, having started it Top of the table. Chances are it will be as you were. It has been such an unpredictable season that […]

Norwich City manager Paul Lambert has confirmed that Leon Barnett’s loan move from West Bromwich Albion is to be made permanent. The defender who cost the Baggies £2.5m from Luton Town in 2007 was never able to prove his worth at the Hawthorns making just 45 appearances in three years.

German national team coach Joachim Loew has been awarded the Coach of the Year award by L'Equipe magazine in France. Joachim Loew guided a German side without many of their star players to the World Cup semi-final, and pulled off incredible results against both England and Argentina along the way. While Loew certainly did an […]

In a fortnight of scandal, everywhere from Newcastle to Moscow and Doha, Special 1 TV has plenty of fodder to digest and to find ways to add a twist of humor to it. And that's what they just did with their latest episode released on BBC 3 and now available in the above video. The […]

The announcement that Marlon King’s appeal against a conviction for sexual assault had been rejected raised two debates in my mind.

In the past, there has been no love lost between Manchester United and Arsenal. At times they have been bitter enemies both on and off the field. In October 2004, there was the famous "Pizzagate" incident where a pizza allegedly hit Sir Alex Ferguson outside the Arsenal changing room after a heated argument between Wenger […]

It's good to know that there will be three sides from the Serie A in the Champions League round of 16 representing Italy. While AC Milan and Inter Milan had already secured their qualification mathematically for the knockout stages of the tournament, there was still a doubt whether Roma would manage to get the needed […]

The Champions League group stages have finished, and now it's time to see which teams will face each other in the round of 16 which is coming up next. UEFA will be drawing the match-ups for the Champions League and the Europa League on December 17th, and there's a set of guidelines which the round of 16 […]
