A Trio Of Departures: Managerial Changes In One Day

Yesterday saw not one, not two, but three clubs change their manager – all for different reasons. The most high profile was at Crystal Palace – in fact, just mere hours before their 1-1 draw with Everton, it was announced that Roy Hodgson would step down as manager of the club. Last week had seen rumours of Hodgson potentially being sacked for recent results – after yesterday’s game they find themselves in 15th place, just 5 points above relegation – however that same day he was taken to the hospital...

Quick Start: New Premier League Record Set Last Night

Make sure you’re ready for the game ahead of kick-off, because you never know what you might miss… Last night saw a new Premier League record set, when two different games saw a goal scored within the first 20 seconds on the same day! It’s safe to say Luton Town and Sheffield United haven’t had the easiest of starts to the Premier League season since being promoted; however they definitely started in style during last night’s games against Brighton and Crystal Palace respectively! Sheffield United didn’t even allow Crystal Palace... Read More

Going Out On Top: Klopp Leaving Liverpool

On Friday, Jurgen Klopp dropped a bombshell announcement when he said he was leaving Liverpool at the end of this season. Klopp joined the club as manager in October 2015, replacing Brendan Rodgers. After a few years building up his team, he was able to guide Liverpool to a number of trophies – including almost all major honours. Among the considerable success Klopp brought to the Merseyside team, possibly the most important to the fans was finally winning the Premier League in the 2019/20 season. It was the first under...

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

2016 Play-Off Finals – The Last Chance At Promotion

So this year’s season is wrapping up shortly – Leicester made the fairytale come true to win the Premier League, Burnley went straight back up with Middlesbrough returning after 7 years away, Wigan get back on the right path and head back to the Championship having only been in the top tier as recently as 2013 whereas Burton continue to surprise with automatic promotion in their first ever year in the third tier, and in League Two Northampton Town put financial worries aside to demolish the division, with Oxford United...

#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

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
