Premier League Title Fight: The Closest In Years

We’re heading into the final stretch of this year’s Premier League, and it’s still looking incredibly close at the top. After last night’s 4-1 win over Luton, Liverpool currently see themselves 4 points clear of nearest rivals Manchester City, and a further point ahead of Arsenal. However, the current leaders have played one game more – so it is possible to see those gaps close to just 1 and 2 points respectively. Since the formation of the Premier League in 1992, there have been three seasons in which the top... Read More

Manchester’s Second Treble…

…Except, this time it’s for the noisy neighbours! Manchester City aren’t shy of success, especially in recent years. This isn’t even the first treble for the club – City achieved the domestic treble in 2019 (EFL Cup/FA Cup/Premier League), the continental treble was eluding them for as good as Man City were, they just couldn’t quite crack the Champions League. That was, until this year. Finally adding the Champions League to their collection – along with the Premier League and FA Cup for this season – they became only the... Read More

Wenger Leaves Arsenal

The last of a generation? Quite possibly. Arsene Wenger announced this morning he is to leave Arsenal, having been the manager of the club since October of 1996 – which made him the longest serving Premier League manager of all time (Sir Alex Ferguson, while having been manager of Manchester United for longer, pre-dated the Premier League era). While recent times have been more of a struggle for Arsenal – which included a eight-year drought without a trophy and the “St. Totteringham’s Day” streak coming to an end last season... Read More

Zlatan Arrives: The 2016/17 Season Gets Underway

When Ibrahimovic says he’s winning the Community Shield in his first major match for Manchester United, you better believe he’s doing it. The Swede, never short on confidence, predicted that this would be the first trophy he would bring home to the Red Devils – and so it would be because of a header from Ibrahimovic himself, no less. Zlatan’s 82nd-minute winner came following Lingard’s opener for United in the first half, before Jamie Vardy capitalised on an error to start the party for reigning Premier League Champions Leicester City,...

#LCFCParade – My Return to Leicester

Here’s a rare blog for PunkFootball where I’ll be talking of my own personal experience. The Social Media Manager, as an individual. I was given the opportunity from work to go to Leicester this past Monday, celebrating the Foxes’ fairytale Premier League title success – having gone to De Montfort University from 2009-2012, it was a chance to once again visit my “home from home”… but unlike any other time I’d been before. Having lived in the city for the aforementioned years, Leicester is a busy place. Obviously not to... Read More
