One complaint I had of Celtic in recent years has been their lack of Scottish talent. They always had one or two starters and then maybe a few more within the squad.

I fear Liverpool’s hopes of keeping Philippe Coutinho at the club are fading. EPSN are reporting that a deal has been agreed with FC Barcelona that will see the Brazilian playmaker end up at the Camp Nou.

I grew up watching football during the nineties and I can still catch certain songs on the radio that take me back to different times in that decade and my thoughts always linger on football. I was just six in 1990 and the World Cup was new to me. I remember a few things from […]

It has been a transfer story that’s rumbled on all summer but so far Liverpool haven’t been able to prise Virgil van Dijk away from Southampton. The Saints weren’t happy with Liverpool’s early pursuit of the defender, they even went as far as complaining that the Merseyside club had tapped their player up. Liverpool quickly […]
