What a difference a couple of months can make in football. Last term it seemed impossible to think that Jose Mourinho would ever be in a position where his job would be under threat at Chelsea. The Portuguese manager guided his side to his third Premier League title at a bit of a canter and […]

So Aston Villa have sacked Tim Sherwood. I’m not really surprised, last term he seemed to think he was the club’s new messiah after guiding them away from the relegation zone (just) and got the team to an FA Cup final (that they lost 4-0). Now no manager should sit back and revel in adulation, […]

When Manchester City signed Raheem Sterling for £49m this summer, I was’t unsure that it would be a great piece of business. I didn’t like how the player’s agent handled his departure from Liverpool, I thought the fee was excessive and I wasn’t convinced that Sterling was ready to hold down a first team spot […]

  I don’t think new Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp could have asked for a better start than facing in-form Tottenham Hotspur in his first Barclays Premier League fixture this weekend. Mauricio Pochettino’s Spurs side currently lie in eighth spot (just one point ahead of Liverpool) and haven’t lost since the opening day of the season […]
