Guardiola: The Hottest Free Agent Is Snapped Up…

It was a battle that top teams wanted: Chelsea were looking for a new permanent manager after firing Jose Mourinho back in December, and questions still linger over Manchester United‘s current manager Louis Van Gaal. In the end, they lost out to Manchester City, who announced that current Bayern Munich manager Pep Guardiola will be joining the Sky Blues for the 2016/17 season – outing current manager Manuel Pellegrini, whose contract runs out at the end of this season. As a player, Guardiola was a defensive midfielder who played 378 league games for a number of teams, but... Read More

Record-Breaking Game? Premier League’s Top Two Clash!

When you read this, you didn’t expect us to say the Premier League leaders are Leicester, did you? We had an earlier blog talking about Leicester’s impressive run – but now nearly a third of the way through the season, the Foxes are still up there – in fact, above anyone else! They’ve only lost 2 of their last 22 league games (since April of last season), to Chelsea and Arsenal – consistency which sees them quite deservedly up there. Fittingly enough (for reasons we’ll explain shortly), they take on... Read More

The Only Way Is… Jose?

Another weekend gone, another loss for Jose Mourinho’s Chelsea. Eleven games in to the season and the blues are currently holding the unfortunate record of the worst Premier League title defense since the league started under its current guise over 20 years ago. While even at this point you can’t see it happening, rumblings of “has anyone ever won the title and been relegated the next season?” have been brewing. Well, there is an answer: It’s only ever happened once, when Manchester City won their first ever league title in... Read More

Pleasure & Pain – The Battle of Northampton Town

Rare that you can ever say this about a team fighting for promotion, but it’s tough times for Northampton Town. They’re currently 4th in League Two, with only goal difference preventing them from sitting in 3rd – and thus, an automatic promotion spot, currently held by Oxford United. Having won 6 of their last 10 games with 2 draws, it’s a great run for a team that in recent years has been middle of the road, fighting relegation and fighting for promotion. So how on earth can there be an... Read More

The Giants of English Football Square Off

This Saturday, England’s two most successful clubs square off in the Premier League – Manchester United and Liverpool. Manchester United have won the title in the top tier of the English League 20 times, more than any other club – and was a record previously held by their rivals Liverpool, who have 18 league titles. Despite still being 2nd on the list, Liverpool haven’t won the title since the 1989-90 season (and thus, haven’t yet won a “Premier League” title as the top tier was named after the club’s most...

Get Harry In A Car – It’s Deadline Day!

Time is running out – Harry’s car is run… the reporters are at the team gro… the deadline is at ele… oh come on, what kind of transfer deadline day is this if NONE of those are correct!?! That aside, things have been pretty hectic this summer and it all ends at 6PM today (over here at least – just as a heads-up to anyone who’s thinking of doing a transfer to Spain today, it ain’t happening). So we might not have Redknapp doing interviews from his car window, but... 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....

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. Manchester United are standing firm on David de Gea, Stoke City have picked up Glen Johnson – but all the talk right now is of the Raheem Sterling deal between Liverpool and Manchester City, set to be £49 million. Since this has gone on, a lot of talk has been going on within the Football world as to Sterling’s value. So far, he’s made 92 Premier... Read More

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
