Di Canio Checks In At Swindon

May 20, 2011

You couldn’t ever accuse Swindon Town supporters of having little to talk about.

May 19, 2011

30th December 2010. Micky Adams is confirmed as Sheffield United manager, fulfilling a long-standing dream for the boyhood Blades fan.

The Final Flourish – But Who For?

May 19, 2011

With the Premier League title decided, the last round of games for this season is most meaningful for the bottom clubs – or those from 15th to 19th, who can all still be relegated.  With West Ham deservedly relegated for not sacking Avram Grant on any of the innumerate opportunities granted to them (and perhaps [...]

Why Villa would be foolish to take Houllier back

May 19, 2011

It is no small secret that the form of Aston Villa has dropped off considerably since Gerard Houllier took over the reins left by the departed Martin O’Neill back in September. The Birmingham side, which regularly challenged and, at times, almost broke the coveted top four in seasons past, have looked a shade of themselves [...]

To Go Or Not, Defoe?

May 19, 2011

On a cold November day in 2009, Jemain Defoe arrived at White Hart Lane for what was surely to be the personal height of his career so far, five Premier League goals in a single game. That day Wigan couldn’t handle Defoe, losing 9-1, the Latics felt the full force of a player that on [...]

It’s time for Wenger to bite the bullet after Gunners fire blank again

May 18, 2011

This Time Next Year, Rodders…

May 18, 2011

King Kenny’s recent return to Anfield is a matter that really doesn’t need anymore column inches devoted to it. We all know how well he’s done, how well the team have done and how much happier The Kop are since Hodgson’s departure. With a contract firmly tucked into his inside pocket, Dalglish can now look [...]

Rebuilding time for Everton and Moyes

May 18, 2011

For several months now – you could argue the entire season – Evertonians have been desperate for the season to end. The team’s abject displays, clear lack of quality and poor results rapidly eroded the bedrock of optimism that previous years had created. There is a feeling that the club must now start again. But this is [...]

Auf Wiedersehen for Tranmere’s Dale?

May 18, 2011

  Now that the year’s league campaigns are drawing to a close, the silly season is fast approaching, as rumours are banded about fast and furious, many based purely on speculation and hearsay. My favourite rumour though, since confirmed to be true, despite its outlandish and hard to believe nature, concerns Tranmere’s wonderkid Dale Jennin [...]

Deja vu for Forest and Bluebirds

May 18, 2011

Reading’s comprehensive 3-0 victory at the Cardiff City Stadium last night left the home side’s supporters with a distinct feeling of deja vu.

Class? Manchester City show Manchester United how it’s done

May 18, 2011

Over the last few years, since the takeover of the club, Manchester City fans have had to endure taunts of ‘lacking class and history.’ The second taunt is beyond laughable, especially as it generally came from Spurs fans, who support a club that has won precisely the same number of league titles as City – [...]
