Home Is Where The Hart Is – Just Ask Spurs Fans!

Talk to any football fan, and they’ll tell you their biggest passion, their love, desire and more lives within their home stadium. The glory, the agony, all from the stands as eleven men play to get the best result and fight for points & trophies. However, for Tottenham Hotspur fans, things could be taken a little more literally. They say “home is where the heart is”, but when you go to White Hart Lane – you could say “home is where the Hart is” – so we’ve decided to make that... Read More

The New League Season Is Almost Here!

It hardly feels like a few moments ago since Chelsea prized the Premiership title away from Manchester for the first time since 2010, and yet we’re now less than a week away from the new season kicking it all off again. As mentioned earlier, Chelsea are defending their Premier League Title against 19 more challengers – of which Bournemouth make their first ever appearance, plus the return of Watford and Norwich to the top tier will make this season, pretty much like every year, a nail-biter from top to bottom....

FIFA 16: Lionel Messi and…

…Alex Morgan. At least, if you live in the USA, that is. The upcoming EA Sports game FIFA 16 is to feature different players on their covers, depending on your location – and in North America it’ll feature a woman for the first time ever. Alex Morgan (pictured, left) has almost 100 caps for her national side America with 52 goals, and recently won the Women’s World Cup with them. Despite rehabilitating a knee injury prior to the tournament, she played in all seven games and despite only one goal, she... Read More

Football’s Silly Season Commences: How Many Sterlings For Sterling!?!

With about a month or so left until the beginning of the 2015/16 football league season, transfers (and the rumours) are flying around wildly.

FA Cup Final: All in the A’s

So when it came down to it all… all we had to do to get our FA Cup final was pick the first two teams alphabetically in the Premier League. The final, taking place this weekend pits Aston Villa – who managed to hang on to their Premier League status this season – against 3rd placed (and current FA Cup holders) Arsenal. It seems inevitable as to who should win this one, but as we’ve seen even just 2 years ago with Wigan and Manchester City, it can be anything... Read More

Fight For Survival: Hanging On In There

It’s the final week of the Premier League 2014/15, and there’s still some uncertainties left to decide. We know Chelsea are champions, and we know QPR and Burnley will be returning to the Championship next season – but who will join them? As things stand, it will either Newcastle or Hull City. However for Sunderland it may had been them too if not for securing a draw against Arsenal last night which saw them with enough points to be safe. Avoiding a loss guaranteed their place for the Premier League next season –... Read More
