England’s press have fallen over themselves to congratulate captain Wayne Rooney for his new historic scoring feat that he achieved for his country last night. In fairness I also wrote about it in the previous blog post. But the media don’t seem overly fussed in discussing what lead up to the penalty that Rooney would […]

Congratulations to Wayne Rooney, who broke England’s all time goalscoring record with a convincing penalty against Switzerland. But no sooner had his historic rocket hit the roof of the net than we had debates raging on social media with people desperate to compare the Manchester United striker with the man who previously held the record; […]

It’s no secret that Chelsea have a huge stockpile of youngsters that they send out on loan each and every summer. This seasons batch currently sits at thirty plus. You can usually deduce how well thought of a player is and how developed they are by the club they’ve been loaned out too. Some players get […]

It has been a fairly erratic start to the season for West Ham United this year. The Hammers have enjoyed two fine away days as they beat both Arsenal and Liverpool. In those two games West Ham scored five goals and managed to keep two cleansheets. But sandwiched in between those two illustrious victories saw […]

Paul Pogba turned down the chance to join Chelsea in a £62m move during the past transfer window, according to Italian paper La Gazzetta dello Sport. If true, then I can totally understand why the French international decided to stay in Turin for at least one more season. I think the summer before a major […]

As regular readers know, I like to build up my own library of pictures and then you don’t run the risk of infringing any copyright laws. As Celtic Park is on my door step and I write a fair bit about the team in Hoops, it seemed natural that they would be my next target. […]

Deja vu really should be a Scottish expression, especially when it comes to our national team. In 2007, Alex McLeish decided to stick with an exciting Scottish side who were doing well in their Euro’s qualifying group and took on Georgia in Tbilisi. That night the Scots came unstuck and were woeful as Georgia won […]

It is an amazing sight to see Wales topping their Euro 2016 qualifying group. They are three points ahead of Belgium and only need three more points to secure a place at next summers major competition in France. That victory would end a fifty-four year wait! It’s crazy to think that players like Mark Hughes, […]

Quite a few people on the outside of Arsene Wenger’s inner circle were calling for Arsenal to sign up a new forward as they felt that was the Gunners weakest area. Four games in and they’ve scored just three times in the English Premier League this term. They’ve also failed to score in two of […]
