Can a leopard really change its spots? Well in the case of Manchester United’s boss Louis van Gaal, it doesn’t look like it. Without doubt the Dutchman’s methods work up to a point and they usually gain a certain amount of success. But then the legendary manager seems to come undone by making the same […]

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 […]

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 […]

When Ryan Giggs‘ career was coming to an end, it seemed like Manchester United youth player Adnan Januzaj would take over the legendary winger’s gifted mantle. Giggs would pass the torch to the young Belgian international and hand over the famous number eleven shirt at the start of last season. But like many creative talents before him, […]

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 […]

First off let me say that I have been a big fan of Branislav Ivanovic for a few years now. Last season I even made an argument for the Serb being one of Chelsea’s best ever signings. Ivanovic has been a warrior at right-back for the Blues. Last term Jose Mourinho praised the defender on […]

As the transfer window fast approaches deadline day, Manchester United still need to find another forward to enhance their squad. But with little time to deal with, the chances of United securing a transfer involving one of their long-time established targets seem to have diminished. I really cannot see PSG or Bayern Munich sanctioning sales involving […]

It seems like nothing can go wrong for Manchester City at the moment. Although I am sure they’d have preferred an easier group in the Champions League! After four fixtures, the Citizens are the only English Premier League side who have a 100% win record. Today they beat Watford 2-0 at the Etihad Stadium. At the […]

I had no doubts that Wayne Rooney would get back on the goalscoring trail for Manchester United. The forward is still only twenty-nine years old, so he’s definitely not over the hill. So seeing the English striker firing in a hattrick against Club Brugge and helping his side through to the group stages of the […]

Sometimes we reach a tipping point during a transfer saga and it then seems inevitable that the deal will go ahead. Whether Everton like it or not, I think we’ve reached that stage in the long running John Stones to Chelsea story. The player himself seems set on moving to the Barclays Premier League champions, with […]
