Atlético Madrid have enjoyed a superb Primera Division season this year. Currently sitting in third place, they have become an incredibly dangerous and powerful team, led by their star-striker Ramadel Falcao. It took them until November of this season to lose their first Continue reading
It was surely the biggest shock to modern football when Sir Alex Ferguson retired from Manchester United, the club he has managed for 26 years. Building from the bottom and creating a football club that would be recognised almost anywhere in the world. The man Continue reading
Recent headlines have all been about a certain Luis Suarez (apart from the astonishing news coming out of Old Trafford) and his subsequent bite on Branislav Ivanovic. However I pose the question whether in fact, Suarez’s ban can in fact be an advantage to Liverpool Continue reading
With the relegation battle hotting up after Aston Villa’s thrashing of Sunderland on Monday night, I thought I’d do a little summary of the cost of relegation from the Premier League seeing as many clubs and their fans will be fearing for the worst and what it could mean for Continue reading
The FA’s decision to implement goal line technology has finally put to bed years of debate over whether it should be introduced and the form it should take. There has been a lot of negativity around it, with claims that technology will slow the game down and that more Continue reading

Steve Clarke has begun his managerial career better than anyone else could’ve expected when he was appointed West Bromwich Albion Head Coach to replace the England bound Roy Hodgson. The question is – will the Scot stay on at the club? Continue reading
It’s a good thing that the league doesn’t pay attention to the popular media when they were worried about how the league would adapt after David Beckham left to become the Chinese ambassador to French football. Yes, that makes sense. Continue reading

It’s the 1st of August 1966, and Geoff Hurst’s hat-trick has sank West Germany at Wembley. England have brought the Jules Rimet trophy home, and their forefathers who taught the world how to play football must be praised. Little did they know it would be Continue reading
Last week we saw Barcelona return to their imperious best against AC Milan. The team that many had written off as lacking leadership, lacking a plan B or just lacking the cutting edge that had many of us eulogising about them since 2009, came back from a two Continue reading
