Manchester City knew they were in for a tough task in Kiev, but made surprisingly light work of their opponents. Manuel Pellegrini made 10 changes from the youthful team which lost to Chelsea in the FA Cup, with only Fernando keeping his place. And it worked, with a 3-1 win giving the visitors a great […]

Cameron Borthwick-Jackson has been a rare bright point in an otherwise dull season for Manchester United. The young left-back has performed impressively when asked to stand in for a number of Manchester United injuries. Being thrust into the spotlight of first team football doesn’t appear to have gone to Borthwick-Jackson’s head, either. After we revealed […]

Lionel Messi’s decision to pass a penalty to Luis Suarez has had more than enough airtime recently. While the Argentine has generated plenty of headlines for his selfless spot kick, many of us were unaware that one of his Barca teammates attempted something similar a few years ago… ‘attempted’ being the operative word. Back in […]

More Ronaldo or Nani? Or Bebé? Reports in Portugal are suggesting that Manchester United and Benfica have come to an agreement over the signature of Renato Sanches. The 18-year-old midfielder is one of the most sought-after young talents in Europe and it is said that both clubs have reached a non-formal “gentleman’s agreement” over the […]

“Bring on Barcelona! Neymar! Messi! Suarez! ‘Oo are ya?!” Well at least he knows who they are now. This rather animated Arsenal fan is none other than ‘Heavy D’ from Storage Hunters UK. Mr D certainly wasn’t backwards in coming forwards when talking up Arsenal’s chances and mocking their Catalan foes ahead of Tuesday’s Champions […]

Forget all they hype surrounding the Champions League clash at The Emirates, the opening goal in the Championship clash between Middlesbrough and Cardiff at the Riverside was a bit special. With Middlesbrough clearing a cross from their area, the ball fell to former Manchester United defender, Fabio. Given that the Brazilian hadn’t scored in 68 […]

Once again, Barcelona look to have landed a knockout blow on Arsenal’s Champions League hopes. Despite matching the European champions for the first half, Lionel Messi (predictably) opened the scoring for Barca after the break. Arsene Wenger’s response to going a goal behind was to make a couple of changes. After sending Danny Welbeck on to […]

The Champions League knockout stages are back in full swing and it’s all enough to make Manchester United’s supporters nostalgic. For the second year running United won’t be appearing in the competition’s last 16, and have to overturn a 2-1 deficit against Danish minnows FC Midtjylland if they are to continue in the Europa League. […]

Finally, it seems things are looking up for Gary Neville. The difficult start to his managerial career has been well documented, and having waited so long for his first La Liga victory it was no surprise that the stress was beginning to show. After his Valencia side followed up their victory over Espanyol with a […]

You’ve got to admire their confidence.

According to a number of bolshy Gooners, the great Andres Iniesta will struggle to live with Francis Coquelin during their Champions […]

We all know that Hector Bellerin is pretty speedy, but to suggest he’s quicker than Usain Bolt might seem a bit far-fetched. However, a report by the BBC claimed that the Arsenal man is quicker than the Olympic champion – over a distance of 40m. The Spaniard covered the distance in 4.41 seconds, bettering the time it […]

Bloody foreign sports. Joe Brolly reckons that the GAA is to blame – not soccer or rugby or whatever – for the loss of players. The fixture crisis rumbles in the organisation and it is said once more that the club player is being neglected. The Derry man alluded to another weekend spent with underage […]

We always love to see former Manchester United players doing well. We’re sure everyone is delighting in the form that ex-United star Javier Hernandez is showing over at Bayer Leverkusen. And there’s nothing better than seeing Angel Di Maria remember how to play football again. But there’s something extra special about seeing Red Devils players […]

Conspiracy theorists everywhere. We’ve all heard the suggestions that some Chelsea players simply didn’t contribute their maximum efforts under Jose Mourinho in order to get him the sack. In fact a few of the squad were referred to as ‘rats’ for a fair while. But now there’s a new theory gathering momentum – that born winner […]
