Manchester United have started to impress under Louis van Gaal’s guardianship. They are currently in fine form, winning seven out of their last nine outings. Going forward with the likes of Wayne Rooney, Robin van Persie, Radamel Falcao and Angel Di Maria, United look capable of scoring against any side in the Premier League. So […]

His form in 2014 has been fantastic. So far this term, he has become a first team regular (almost the first […]

I first noticed John Guidetti back in 2011 when he was at Feyenoord on loan, they were in Breda taking on NAC. He was a substitute and changed things when he came on, he actually turned the game around. That year in Holland saw Guidetti score twenty goals in twenty-three Eredivisie appearances. Unfortunately things haven’t […]

Now as a football manager, Ally McCoist isn’t the best. He has achieved certain targets, which were expected of him.

French football writer Andrew Gibney is my best friend in the football writing world. The good sign for every lasting friendship is that you can agree and disagree with everything the other person says, yet you still remain best of chums.

So it won’t be an invincible season for Chelsea this time around after all. The slump to Newcastle United showed others in the Premier League that they can be beaten after all. But for me, Jose Mourinho has helped bring on the defeat with a few mistakes. Instead of keeping spirits high at Stamford Bridge […]

It’s funny how the Scottish media can get obsessed about Scottish footballs in-fighting and financial troubles. Yet they seem to overlook Scottish football’s social issues in any great detail. This week Hearts owner Ann Budge once again made a very good and detailed statement, you can view it HERE. The statement basically highlights the social […]
