Struggling? Another action-packed weekend of Premier League action saw both of the Manchester [...]
This weekend’s results may well have proven pivotal in deciding the eventual destination of the English Premier League 2011-2012 title. Manchester City’s 3-3 home draw against Sunderland may have been a point snatched from the jaws of defeat, but ultimately it proved to be a further two points dropped as [...]
Every footballer starts with a fairy godmother on his shoulder. You can either nurture yours during your career or trample over it. It’s your decision. The problem with football fairies is that they tend to be unpredictable. One minute they’re firmly on your side, making the balls roll where you [...]
In many ways, this past weekend may well come to be viewed as the defining weekend in many of the different races being run at the top and bottom of the table, with a glut of clubs in the middle-of-the-table ether playing simply for pride and a wodge of Premier [...]
This weekend’s fixtures in the English Premiership are hardly likely to set the pulses racing across the globe.

Another weekend rolls around as we begin the countdown to the crucial Easter period of fixtures in the Barclays Premier League and this weekend sees two crunch games in the North West. With Yaya Toure suggesting that it may be an idea for Manchester City players to leave fans amazed by [...]
Poor Michael Oliver, you think you are doing yourself a favour when a clear penalty is turned down in the last minute at Old Trafford against Manchester United in a crucial league game; only then to look something of a buffoon as Sir Alex Ferguson then comes out and openly states [...]
Red or Blue? That’s the question dogging every analyst’s mind at this point in the season. It’s already certain that neither of the Manchester teams on every English Premier league fan’s lips can’t be caught by any of the chasing pack any longer. Both clubs have had scintillating seasons, with [...]
With the good news that Fabrice Muamba seems to be on the mend, it is nice to get back to Premier League football at its best, and worst and this week has already shown us both ends of that scale. Manchester City deserved great credit for fighting back from a [...]
After Wolverhampton Wanderers dismal showing against Manchester United on Sunday it is now my considered opinion that they shall not be able to avoid relegation this season after all. That’s right people…you heard it here first. Wolves are going down and that’s that. Actually it wasn’t the fact that they [...]
Bill Shankly’s oft quoted remark that football was more important than life or death is, it is often forgotten, was said in half-jest. In trying to emphasise the passion for the game in Liverpool, their much-loved forefather used a term that on such sad occasions like this weekend, seemed glaringly [...]
Ah, the glory of the FA Cup! There once was a time when FA Cup Final Saturday was the highlight of the year, the build up would start early in the morning, we’d have presenters commenting on the bus journey to Wembley and by kick off time, fans across the [...]
Well, well, well. It’s happening. It’s actually happening. After 7 seasons, 3 dozen players and about 300 different excuses, Wenger’s boys are finally becoming men. Or so it would seem. In case you missed it, here are the damning statistics announcing their maturity. In four of their last five matches [...]
Another intriguing weekend of football began in controversial fashion at the Reebok Stadium where Bolton recorded a much needed 2-1 home win over QPR, thanks to Ivan Klasnic’s 85th minute winner.
