Is there still hope for Wolves yet?

February 25, 2012

As much as they try to paint a glossy picture over the whole situation I think it’s fair to say that the Wolverhampton Wanderers board made a complete hash of their recent manager appointment process. I’d go as far as saying that they wouldn’t lose much more dignity if they’d rang Mick McCarthy up and [...]

Black Country derby epitomizes Wolves season

February 12, 2012

I don’t get excited about many Premier League fixtures but the Black Country derby certainly gets my heart racing. It’s even more special when it takes place in the Premier League – todays match only the fourth in Premier League history. So as Wolves slumped to what turned out to be an embarrassing defeat my [...]

Why would Harry Redknapp want the England job?

February 11, 2012

It seems like it’s almost a given that Harry Redknapp is on his way out of Tottenham – whether it be immediately or the end of the season – but what really is there for him in the England job? Looking at the history of the job it’s notorious for tainting the careers of what [...]

Why I’m proud to be a part of the lower league community.

February 1, 2012

I’ll always remember the first game of football I ever went to: I was aged six; the location was Aggborough in Kidderminster as the Harriers took on Aston Villa in Graham Allner’s testimonial.

Cahill’s move a good move.

January 16, 2012

Gary Cahill’s transfer has finally been announced as official. From where I’m standing at £7m Chelsea have just bought themselves an absolute bargain! I’m sure Owen Coyle will be less than impressed at how long the deal took to eventually go through. Although, saying that, Cahill did help win another couple of points for Bolton [...]

Managerial contracts are a complete waste of time!

October 25, 2011

Already this season there have been two sackings, two resignations and two departures by mutual consent in the Football League alone, including two ex-England managers; Steve McClaren and most recently Sven Goran-Eriksson. Following numerous reports of the costs of sacking a manager in the press recently you would have thought club owners would thi [...]

Vicente Rodriguez – The Signing of the Summer!

September 11, 2011

Forget Arteta, Crouch, Barton or Bellamy. Surely the transfer of all transfers this summer was Brighton’s signing of Valencia legend Vicente Rodriguez on a free transfer last week! Gus Poyet is exactly right to call this signing a “major coup” for the club which already sit top, and needless to say undefeated, after six games [...]

Time to take a leaf out of Stoke’s book

September 2, 2011

Who would’ve thought ten years ago that Stoke City would be splashing out an impressive £18million+ on transfer deadline day as they embark on their first year in Europe since 1975? Well how times change as this year they join a limited group of clubs that are recognised as ‘established Premier League clubs’. It was [...]

Romelu Lukaku – The future of Chelsea?

August 24, 2011

About two years ago I was first informed of a 16-year-old Belgian wonderkid named Romelu Lukaku. While I’m not a follower of Belgian football, I must admit I have loosely followed Lukaku’s career having heard of his talent, waiting patiently to receive the news that one of European footballs giants had put in a bid [...]
