A Tight Fight In League One!

The top of the table looks very interesting in the third division of English football right now! Every point clearly counts in the final stretch of the season – the top three currently have 9 games to go, with Portsmouth leading the way on 77 points, 5 clear of 2nd place Derby County, with Bolton a further point behind in 3rd.

All Together for a Sing-A-Long…

You’ll Never Walk Alone. I’m Forever Blowing Bubbles. Blue Moon… I could go on and on and on. Point is, it’s not a football match without the crowd making noise, and chants are an essential part of the atmosphere. Sometimes they can be for the love of a team (see Port Vale), the joy of a particular player (Wigan & Ireland, West Ham, Arsenal, AFC Wimbledon… the list could go on!), or even as abuse to the opposition or the greatest rival (see Burnley) – can you really say you’ve...

Promotion Race: Are Northampton about to go up?

You might remember back in October, we discussed League Two’s Northampton Town and their financial battle to fight administration. Despite everything they were going through, the performance on the pitch was still doing relatively OK. What a difference five months makes. Not only have the Cobblers got any financial worries put well in the past, but their performances have been nothing short of dominant – they haven’t lost a league game since December 19th, having gone their last seventeen games undefeated which included a string of ten consecutive wins –...

The First Trophy Is Sky Blue – With A Hero Goalie

Penalty shootouts. Nervous for everyone involved – and usually it’s decided by an off-shot, or the odd save here or there. But Manchester City‘s Willy Caballero – a man who had a disaster against Chelsea in the FA Cup just last week – pulled off a goalkeeping performance that’s going to be talked about for some time. Not one. Not even two… but THREE consecutive saves from Liverpool shots left the reds with no chance to even get involved in the shootout. Manchester City won the Capital One Cup 3-1... 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....
