“You little dixie!” Guaranteed to make your day better. Will we ever see two consecutive knockout matches like those that unfolded in the Champions League again? In recent years, Europe’s elite football competition has served up some cracking comebacks – we’re thinking about Barcelona overcoming PSG, Roma dumping out Barcelona last year, and Manchester United’s […]

“To show our solidarity with Sean and acknowledge Liverpool FC for their continued support, both club flags will fly alongside each other today at our club grounds.” All eyes are on Kiev this evening as Liverpool and Real Madrid meet in the final of the Champions League. Of course, Madrid are looking to complete a […]

Seven short episodes and they’re all great. While Jose Mourinho might have a dislike for players that exhibit a certain level of flair and individualism, there’s no denying that every sports fan absolutely loves a maverick. While the expert professionalism and clean-cut image of, let’s say, James Milner is a manager’s dream, there’s something to be […]

You’ll do very well to get them all.

Wow. While FA Cup traditionalists might like to see Premier League clubs field their strongest XI against lower league sides, there’s a reason why managers are paid big salaries – mainly because they’ve got to, you know, actually, manage their players. A perfect case of this is Claude Puel at Leicester City. After being dismissed […]

Penny for Conte’s thoughts. Poor Antonio Conte. 15 points behind Man City in the league, barely scraping past Norwich in the FA Cup and now, suffering a major setback in his bid to sign Andy Carroll from West Ham. Even the champions’ own fans are storming the pitch at Stamford Bridge and with a potential transfer […]

The club has released a statement. Chelsea have been accused of breaching Fifa rules regarding the signing of underage players. The club’s signing of 25 foreign players under the age of 18 is being investigated. If found guilty, Fifa has the power to impose sanctions – the main one being a transfer ban. As you may […]

Spot on. No manager can boast about having a perfect record in the transfer market, but just like Spurs when they sold Gareth Bale to Real Madrid, it’s fair to say that Liverpool squandered a large chunk of the €90m that they received – or the expected funds that they based their budget on- from Barcelona […]

They all moved in the summer transfer window. We’d like to know if you can name the former club of these new Premier League players. Lukaku joined Man United from Everton, Salah moved from Roma to Liverpool. You get the idea. We’re looking for permanent transfers here from one club to another. Go!

Manchester United fans should ace this. Think you know your Manchester United transfer history? Prove it! We’re looking for the clubs that Manchester United signed these 25 players from.

Coleman’s reaction is great. In an era when football fans feel like players and managers are guarded against the public, it’s refreshing to see that Chris Coleman has started his tenure at Sunderland with a different approach. The former Fulham and Wales boss was a guest on Total Sport’s radio phone-in on Thursday night where he […]

Certainly a talking point. After their disappointing defeat to Basel in the Champions League, Manchester United picked up a valuable three points at home to Brighton as they narrowed the gap on Man City at the top of the table. Ashley Young’s deflected strike off Lewis Dunk proved the difference and after the game, Jose Mourinho said […]

25 players that have all won the Champions League. The biggest prize in European football is up for grabs as Juventus take on Real Madrid in Cardiff.

Authorities are investigating. Dele Alli didn’t have his finest day in a Tottenham jersey as his side were comfortably brushed aside by Arsenal in the North London derby. Goals from Shkodran Mustafi and Alexis Sanchez were enough to secure the win for the Gunners as they narrow the gap on the top four. Despite this win, there […]

Exquisite. It’s fair to say that most football fans were watching the events in Naples – that Man City game was breathtaking- or Wembley as Spurs demolished Real Madrid. This being said, the five-time European Cup winners Liverpool took a big step towards qualification by beating Maribor 3-0. Given the fact that Klopp’s men absolutely slaughtered […]

Manchester United fans are not happy. While it’s nice to be acknowledged by your peers, we’re certain that most footballers don’t particularly care about being shortlisted or nominated in these various FIFA/UEFA lists of the world’s best player, striker, defender etc. Ultimately, footballers at the very top level are only concerned with one thing, winning. They know that they […]

Gareth Southgate doesn’t rate Messi as one of the world’s best three players.

Imagine that pace. A few months ago, Burton Albion expressed a genuine interest in taking the Jamaican sprint legend on trial. Nigel Clough even remarked: “Would that be a loan or permanent?

Goosebumps. There’s a reason why managers and players – both current and former – still call Alex Ferguson ‘boss.’ At the end of the Euro 2016 final, take a look at the level of respect and admiration that Cristiano Ronaldo and Nani still have for their former manager. Hell, even players that have fallen out […]

The German champions have identified their man. Shock! Horror! It looks like Jurgen Klopp is going nowhere. Pretty much every Liverpool fan felt that the reports linking their manager with the vacant managerial position at Bayern Munich were complete and utter scheisse but, that being said, there’s no doubting the appeal of the German giants.

Thoughts? Given the fact that he scored 175 Premier League goals for Arsenal and won the biggest honours in the game,  Thierry Henry is as good a judge as any to comment about the latest hot-shots in the Premier League. So far this season, Alvaro Morata, Sergio Aguero, Romelu Lukaku and Harry Kane have scored 22 […]

Things went from bad to worse. Jurgen Klopp’s mind is solely on Liverpool’s Champions League match against Spartak Moscow, but the German coach might be scratching his head after being forced to endure a very bizarre press conference this afternoon.

Arsenal things. In his weekly column, Piers Morgan revealed that Jeremy Corbyn once prevented him from joining a conversation that the Labour leader was having with Arsenal defender Hector Bellerin. Earlier this year, Corbyn and Bellerin met at the Tate Modern in London and were chatting away – presumably about Arsenal because as we know, Corbyn’s an […]

Poor form. Celtic will be nursing their wounds after the Scottish champions were completely outclassed against a rampant PSG at Parkhead.

Mind games or an active interest from the Manchester United manager?

Liverpool and Chelsea are big admirers. Southampton defender Virgil van Dijk has handed in a transfer request and says that his desire to play European football is the key reason why he wants to leave St Mary’s. A few weeks ago, Liverpool ended their interest in the Dutch defender stating that they would like to […]

Tips hat. Despite injuries and international football commitments disrupting his debut season at Liverpool, Sadio Mané was one of the most important players for Jurgen Klopp’s men last season. Aside from being a focal point for their attack, his blistering pace strikes fear into the opposition defence, and stops them from playing a high line. Not […]
