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

Flourishing Foxes – Leicester’s Impressive Run

Before the beginning of the season, you probably didn’t expect the top royal blue team to be Leicester after 5 games, did you? It’s only a mere few months ago where, with 9 games to go, Leicester were bottom of the Premier League having won just 4 games all season. Then, on April 4th, the fifth win of the season came for the Foxes after beating West Ham 2-1. Following on were victories against West Brom and Swansea City which finally lifted Leicester from the bottom and up to 18th,... 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....

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
