Scottish football doesn’t often see top class talent arrive on its shores but when a player of that ilk does arrive they stand out like a sore thumb. When Franck Suazee arrived at Easter Road in February 1999. The veteran was no longer playing at his peak but he still played like a man against […]

People always have their favourites and football fans always love a good debate. Who is better Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo? When discussing this era’s best manager some will claim it’s Jurgen Klopp, others will be adamant it’s Pep Guardiola, Antonio Conte will have his backers, Zinedine Zidane will get a shout, Diego Simeone’s work […]

I have never quite understood doubters of Mohamed Salah. In his first four seasons with Liverpool, the Egyptian forward struck 130 goals in 203 outings. Yes, he hasn’t better his first season tally of forty-four strikes (thirty two in Premier League) but he’s certainly not been a one season wonder at Anfield. The attacker has […]

Chelsea have been very impressive since Thomas Tuchel’s arrival in January. The German boss has brought with him a focus to succeed and the squad have bought into that as they’ve secured a place in the final of the FA Cup and in the Champions League. The Blues are also on course to finish in […]

I often think it’s too easy for people to look at footballers and forget that they are individuals. Many were critical of Pep Guardiola as they felt that the Spaniard should play young maestro Phil Foden more in the Manchester City. Some felt that Foden should leave The Etihad and seek his opportunities elsewhere. Following […]

Chelsea have a very energetic and enthusiastic young squad and they could be looking towards silverware under rookie boss and club legend Frank Lampard. The Blues made some major signings during the summer to supplement the young talented players that they already had within their ranks. It could be that Chelsea might actually be more […]

Marcus Rashford has had quite the year. The Manchester United and England star has been very vocal in his view that children in poverty shouldn’t go hungry during holiday time away from school. Now personally, I can’t understand why that would see Marcus criticised yet that’s happened. Even the Conservative Party, UK’s governing political party, […]

As lockdown continues I am really appreciating the opportunity of looking back. It could’ve been easy to go to the early 90s and look at that wonderful AC Milan side. After Rangers, that Milan team were the ones that helped secure my love for football. But the more I started thinking about Milan’s inspirational midfield […]

Manchester City picked up a home draw against Shakhtar Donetsk last night (ManCity.com Match Report) as they secured safe passage into the knock-out stages of the Champions League, with a game in hand. For me, City and their manager Pep Guardiola should probably make Europe’s most elite club competition their top priority this season. When […]

Frank Lampard was always going to get time to prove himself at Chelsea. As a player he helped the club win major honours and he’s the club’s all-time leading goalscorer. Being a Blues legend was always going to be looked on favourably by the Stamford Bridge crowd. He also walked into the Chelsea hot-seat knowing […]
