In the fifteen year history of the Premier League, only one club outside of the four horse race has ever won the Premiership title. That was Blackburn Rovers during the 1993-94 season. The chances of a club from outside the top four lifting the trophy in the future are practically nil. So, to recognize those […]

Legendary commentator Martin Tyler summed it up best in tonight's Bolton against Derby match when he mentioned how so many late goals happen in Premier League matches. Just minutes after delivering the commentator's curse, Bolton's Stelios Giannakopoulos scored the only goal of the match which dealt a cruel, cruel blow to Derby County. The Rams, […]

Best Player: Cristiano Ronaldo, Manchester United It's difficult to argue with this one. Even if he does score a number of goals on penalties, he still produces a striker's tally from midfield and, unlike Frank Lampard, he manages to look skillful while doing it.
