The Silly Referee Decision That Made Me Question Football

It’s always interesting when you view football games and the Ryder Cup is also on, you feel torn as to which sport you should be watching. But SKY/BT and the Premier League did offer up some tasty opposition to the golf on Saturday with the Merseyside derby followed by the North London equivalent. Although I […]

What’s The Mata With Juan?

When you sign for a new club for a fee of £37.1m, then you’d probably expect to still be an automatic first choice starter nine months later. But that doesn’t seem to be the case with classy midfielder Juan Mata at Manchester United. The Spaniard was dropped in the teams capitulation against Leicester City last […]

FIve Out Of Work Men Watching Toon Saga

In modern day football you seem to be only one defeat away from a crisis. At Newcastle United, it seems like manager Alan Pardew is currently in that precarious position of needing wins and points to save his job. The ‘Toon’ boss has the fans calling for his head and has had the dreaded vote […]

Product Review: Campo Retro

CAMPO RETRO is a great design and manufacturer that excels in superb football retro style polo shirts. I have the Fiorentina Bernabeu Violet jersey.

  After analysing the mixed form of Manchester United and Liverpool so far this season, it would be unfair not to look at the poor start Everton have suffered so far this term.

Eden Hazard: Chelsea’s Maestro And Weak Link?

When you watch Eden Hazard attacking the opposition it can be a joy to behold. He glides across the grass, teasing defenders into lunging in before taking the ball around them and into space. The Belgian star will then put in an early cross or pass and try and create yet another chance for his Chelsea […]

A lot was made of Manchester United’s huge summer spending spree. But as Angel Di Maria, Daley Blind, Ander Herrera and Radamel Falcao all arrived to much acclaim, many of us were pointing out a new centre-back was needed if United were to be fully equipped for the rigours of the Premier League. Louis van […]

Liverpool Need To Gel Quickly

I always said that Liverpool’s season was going to be tougher this time around. It always happens after a successful year. You become a bigger target for other clubs. At the moment this Liverpool squad seem to be swaying under the expectation that has been placed upon them. Then you add the fact that you […]

Why McGregor Should Be Scots Number One

As a nation, Scotland have a bit of an embarrassment of riches when it comes to the goalkeeping position. Manager Gordon Strachan has three top class keepers to choose from in; Allan McGregor, Craig Gordon or David Marshall. When Strachan fielded Marshall against the world champs Germany in Dortmund recently it showed that their probably […]
