So Scotland’s new away strip has raised a few eyebrows this week. My initial thoughts? Well I like it and it’s certainly a grower. That said I really need to see it in person before making my final decision on it. I am a big fan of the Adidas kits that Scotland have been wearing […]

Things have never looked this bad for Manchester United in the English Premier League era. Last nights 2-0 loss to Olympiakos is another death nail into United’s season. Should the ‘Reds’ lose the return leg in a few weeks time then that could be that for them this term. For Man Utd to be out […]

Scottish football was a bit repetitive for those of us that grew up in the late eighties and nineties . From 1989 till 1998, Rangers were the kings.

When the Arsenal team, to take on Bayern Munich, was announced at the Emirates, lots of eyebrows were raised. Gunners boss Arsene Wenger decided to keep top-scorer Oliver Giroud on the bench and started with French youngster Yaya Sanogo.

With current captain Nemanja Vidic departing in the summer, Manchester United are on the lookout for a new skipper. It also looks likely that stalwarts Patrice Evra and Rio Ferdinand will follow the Serbian out of the Old Trafford doors.  So neither of them will be the new main man at United. If and it’s […]
