Premier League Title Fight: The Closest In Years

We’re heading into the final stretch of this year’s Premier League, and it’s still looking incredibly close at the top. After last night’s 4-1 win over Luton, Liverpool currently see themselves 4 points clear of nearest rivals Manchester City, and a further point ahead of Arsenal. However, the current leaders have played one game more – so it is possible to see those gaps close to just 1 and 2 points respectively. Since the formation of the Premier League in 1992, there have been three seasons in which the top... 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

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...

Zlatan Arrives: The 2016/17 Season Gets Underway

When Ibrahimovic says he’s winning the Community Shield in his first major match for Manchester United, you better believe he’s doing it. The Swede, never short on confidence, predicted that this would be the first trophy he would bring home to the Red Devils – and so it would be because of a header from Ibrahimovic himself, no less. Zlatan’s 82nd-minute winner came following Lingard’s opener for United in the first half, before Jamie Vardy capitalised on an error to start the party for reigning Premier League Champions Leicester City,...

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...

We’re On The Road To Wembley: The FA Cup’s Semi-Finalists

Leicester City lead the Premiership. Tottenham are having their best run in a very long time. Arsenal have won the past two FA Cups. None of these three teams feature in the Semi-Finals. Instead, Manchester United, Everton, Crystal Palace and Watford will be vying for the title – whichever team does take the crown, it’ll have been a long time waiting for each, and for different reasons. In the first Semi-Final, Manchester United take on Everton – two teams that already have multiple FA Cup trophies between them, but it’s been a long drought... 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
