Why Liverpool & Everton won’t be joining the Sky 4

August 24, 2010

After two weekends, both the Blue and Red halves of Liverpool will not be impressed with their immediate openings to the season.

Hovering above the bottom three places in the league table and having scored only one goal each, the tactics boards will be worked upon this week. [...]

What the first round of Premier League games showed me…

August 16, 2010

So, the first round of games has been completed. And for what it’s worth, here are my thoughts… Didier Drogba is the best striker in the world. Yes, Chelsea’s opponents in the 6-0 win at Stamford Bridge on Saturday evening may not have been the best AND they may well continue their ‘yo-yo’ status and [...]

Premier League Transfers – Manchester United

August 9, 2010

Just two transfers in this summer for Sir Alex Ferguson and for a squad that looks a little thin, it is suggested he looks a little further at acquiring one of the most impressive players at this summer’s World Cup. One player from that tournament whose signature he already secured before a ball was even [...]

Villa chairman Lerns the hard way

August 9, 2010

So, the sub-sub-plot that has been bubbling under the surface this summer has finally reached it’s conclusion. No, Steven Gerrard HASN’T gotten a former footballer’s 16-year-old daughter pregnant! Martin O’Neill has stepped down from his post at Aston Villa. Now, as this story was been breaking and the ripple-effect felt by [...]

Go fourth and conquer…well, sort of

August 8, 2010

In a continuation from my Premier League predictions for the 2010/11 season and having named my thoughts for the top three come May, the attention now turns to the battle for Champions League football. Straight away, I think Manchester City will lack cohesion and sink like a rock. Similarly, I don’t feel Tottenham have built [...]

Am I really doing a Hansen here?

August 6, 2010

For the first time in a while, I am writing Manchester United off. There, I said it. I know a lot of people in the football world would think it as signing their death warrant, but I’m sticking with my decision. My actual prediction is that Manchester United – for the first time in a [...]

Premier League Transfers – Manchester City

August 5, 2010

Is this the season that the Blue half of Manchester finally finish above their city rivals? Well, the players coming in will definitely not hinder their chances. Another reported £74.5m has been spent to claw back the 19 points they finished behind champions Chelsea and the mere three off a Champions League place. Roberto Mancini [...]

Premier League Transfers – Liverpool

August 1, 2010

Not just a new influx of players at Anfield, but also a change at the helm. Roy Hodgson has replaced the outgoing Rafael Benitez; who chose to in turn, fill the shoes of Jose Mourinho – brave man! We will focus on that in the near future, but for the meantime, the playing staff is [...]

Premier League Transfers – Everton – dark horses?

August 1, 2010

The more positive stories at Everton this close season have been the near-silent acquisitions of four players by manager David Moyes.

Three pretty much unknown quantities for the English game and another potential surprise from a big club. [...]

Premier League Transfers – Chelsea

July 27, 2010

Yossi Benayoun has swapped Anfield for Stamford Bridge in one of the more interesting transfers of the summer. £6m – or thereabouts – for a much-travelled 30-year-old, is a strange one. More so the fact that they let a very similar player in Joe Cole effectively move in the opposite direction for no transfer fee. [...]

Premier League Transfers – Bolton and Fulham

July 25, 2010

Wanderers manager Owen Coyle will begin his first full season in charge with two familiar players brought in. Veteran striker Robbie Blake has joined from his old side Burnley and winger Martin Petrov also chose to stay in Lancashire after a free transfer move from Manchester City after his contract at Eastlands expired. Blake scored [...]

Premier League Transfers – Birmingham

July 23, 2010

“If Zigic can settle in the Midlands, he can cause problems, obviously due to his aerial threat but also bring team-mates into the game if used in the correct way as a target man, with balls to feet and chest.” [...]
