It was all a little bit tense as the final whistle approached at the King Power Stadium. With Leicester leading Southampton by Wes Morgan’s first half goal, five minutes stoppage time was signalled by the fourth official, guaranteeing a nervy finish for the majority of those in the stadium. Jamie Vardy, however, was far from flustered – and […]

While the term ‘legend’ gets tossed about a little too freely in football these days, few would argue that Sir Bobby Charlton deserves to be described in such a way. A survivor of the Munich Air Disaster in 1958, Charlton went on to win the lot with Manchester United and was also part of England’s World Cup […]

Aston Villa fans, after a season of doom and gloom, things are *finally* looking up. Why? Well – it seems that the man that not so long ago described himself as “the best coach in the Premier League” is a near certainty to take over as manager at Villa Park… sort of. John Carver, who […]

As far as meaningless international friendlies go, England’s 4-2 defeat at the hands of Sweden is one of the more memorable ones. Of course, this was the night that a bang in form Zlatan Ibrahimovic took the p*ss out of the English defence, capping his four goal-haul with a stupendous long-range bicycle kick. Stoke City’s […]

After reading enough reports about Louis van Gaal’s future to make our eyes bleed in recent months, perhaps this is the proof that the Dutchman is on the cusp of being given the boot by Manchester United?

This week’s European meeting with Chelsea is far from Paris Saint-Germain’s first in recent years.

The 45-year-old Van Der Sar […]
