It’s amazing that the debate about Alan Shearer’s decision to reject Manchester United’s advances in favour of joining hometown club Newcastle United still rages on, twenty-two years after the event. It seems some Man United fans just can’t accept the fact and believe that the former striker must regret his decision based on the medals […]

Celtic managed to overcome Rangers in their latest derby clash. It was a close one with the side from Govan twice taking the lead but the Scottish Premiership champions didn’t give up and in the end they had too much for their opponents. It’s how you react to set-backs that can define games, at times, […]

Manchester United secured yet another important Premier League victory yesterday as they beat rivals Liverpool 2-1 at Old Trafford. United now enjoy a five point cushion ahead of their Merseyside foes but a couple of incidents still irked the home support.

Chris Sutton the player was much like Chris Sutton the pundit: People seem to either love him or hate him. Those that enjoy his work will say he’s passionate and honest, while those that dislike him will say he’s arrogant and biased. Growing up I supported the blue half of Glasgow and that meant Sutton […]

There was a huge buzz when Manchester United beat Manchester City to the signature of Alexis Sanchez back in January. Yet it has so far not really worked out for the Chilean at Old Trafford. Alexis has played eight times for the Red Devils. In that period, he has missed a penalty but scored the rebound […]

I loved the Italian World Cup 2006 winning team. They had so many superstars in that squad and in various positions too. They had defensive discipline (well they were Italian after all), they had great passing midfielders and sublime forwards who could unlock the sternest of defences. They also had a squad with such a […]

Time will never forget Arsene Wenger’s great achievements at Arsenal but the longer he continues without any real success the more his reputation and legacy will be tarnished.

I was watching a TV show on Sky Sports just before the last Old Firm game and former stars Barry Ferguson, Neil Lennon, Kris Boyd and Kris Commons were discussing the fixture. During the programme they were stating who they’d want to see line-up beside them in such an important game. The usual suspects of […]

But fate decided it would be this summer and […]
