It makes a refreshing change from “Shat on…” we suppose. Gary Lineker has nearly 5 million followers on Twitter – F-I-V-E million. That’s a lot of people to take exception to practically every tweet he ever posts. He could wish everyone a good morning and many would dispute both the pleasantness of the AM and indeed […]

This is vile, reprehensible behaviour. It is one thing to pick a fight with someone who is as eager as you are to partake in a skirmish. It is not OK or lawful, but at least you and your foe are getting what you deserve in terms of harm or injury. It is someway towards an equal […]

You’ve got to feel for Brendan Rodgers. It seems that no matter what he says or does, he just gets the piss ripped out of him by everyone. The 43-year-old was unveiled as the new manager of Celtic recently, and the first reaction of many was to mock, mainly for his assertion that Celtic are […]

Good old Louis. Although Manchester United fans are understandably ecstatic about the long-awaited appointment of Jose Mourinho as their new manager, their feelings towards Louis van Gaal seem to have softened markedly over the last week or so. We are delighted to announce Jose Mourinho is our new manager! Full statement: https://t.co/PDiHMIWnpd #WelcomeJose pic.twitter.com/eZ8NBSz2up — […]

It’s a sign of the times. With salary and terms agreed, and willingness from all parties to conclude the deal as soon as possible, the final stumbling block to Jose Mourinho being appointed the new manager of Manchester United was of course image rights. Wow. All the Jose Mourinho trademarks owned by Chelsea. Includes lipsticks, lingerie, […]

Jose Mourinho and Manchester United. It’s a potentially explosive mix. The Portuguese brings with him an exemplary CV and undoubted charisma. He also drags along more baggage than Mariah Carey on a short tour of Europe. So much could go wrong, but it is such an irresistible prospect that it had to happen one day. The […]

“I feel close to the rebelliousness and vigour of the youth here. Perhaps time will separate us, but nobody can deny that here, behind the windows of Manchester, there is an insane love of football, of celebration and of music.” From those words it’s clear that Eric Cantona just gets Manchester. Both in sentiment and psychology. […]

The manager now knows his fate. Despite the rest of the world being aware of the rumours since Saturday, Louis van Gaal was only informed of his sacking on Monday morning. The 64-year-old and his entire Dutch coaching team have been ditched, and they are said to be livid. According to reports, they had already started preparing for next season. Here […]

Worse than fishwives. If you’re not familiar with the 18th Century stereotype, women who sold fish in the days of yore were lumped with something of an unfortunate reputation. It was one of loud, foul-tongued blabbermouths who loved collecting other people’s gossip and spreading it around to all and sundry. Now that may seem horribly sexist by […]

You know you’re in trouble when a 74-year-old is ripping into your threads. Tinie Tempah’s performance prior to the FA Cup final on Saturday may not have been to everyone’s taste, but Sir Alex Ferguson seemed more pre-occupied with the rapper’s shiny garb. The FA have shared fascinating pre-game footage from Wembley’s ‘tunnelcam’ via their YouTube channel, and […]

There’s a time and a fucking place. After a thrilling Europa League campaign which included some of the most glowing highlights of Jurgen Klopp’s first season at Anfield, Liverpool failed at the final hurdle and lost 3-1 to Sevilla. The players in red were understandably devastated at the final whistle, as were the thousands of Scouse […]

Everything Sir Alex Ferguson says and does is for a reason. To suggest otherwise is not to know the great man at all. The legendary Scot is conniving, disingenuous, manipulative, and quite often shameless. Now, as in his glory days as the greatest manager of them all, Fergie uses words with the clinical accuracy of […]

This is a strange one, so please bear with us… Just after 4pm on Tuesday afternoon, Sky Sports News tweeted a video filed by their northern correspondent James Cooper reporting that Louis van Gaal was due to remain as the manager of Manchester United this summer. It was from a segment that had aired on the channel earlier […]

An obscene £150,000-a-week for a one-paced, has-been mercenary who will be 35 years old in October. In many ways, Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s touted move from Paris Saint-Germain to Manchester United this summer seems typical of the Old Trafford club at present. An expensive ‘marquee’ signing whose acquisition would be on reputation alone and look very much like a […]

Sports Sports News’ anchor David Garrido can seriously bust some moves. We’re not sure what they are, but he can seriously bust them. Sheffield Wednesday fans and players alike were in jubilant mood on Monday night, as a 1-1 draw with Brighton sent them into the Championship play-off final on May 28. It means the Owls […]

How’s about this for being economical with the truth? God love Sky Sports. Since 1992 they’ve been doing their best to portray a somewhat sanitised version of football for the masses to consume at their leisure. And fair dues, they’ve helped popularise the sport. But some things are obvious to one and all, so there’s […]

This lot need to have a cold shower. It’s fair to say that most Liverpool fans have been praying for a new goalkeeper for a while now. Current number one Simon Mignolet does have his moments of inspired stopping, but he’s just as prone to as many brainfarts. So it will come as a huge relief to […]
