It is Champions League final week and we are at the Champions Festival in Stratford City with Discover Ford giving away some truly epic prizes and bringing you world class entertainment. The festival, running from Thursday to Sunday, will give you the opportunity to show your driving skills in the new Ford Kuga around our test [...]

Liverpool’s aim this summer should be to continue on from the pace they set with the signings of Coutinho and Daniel Sturridge this past January. Do away with the mindless spending close to home and explore the many alternatives available on the continent. Brendan Rodgers may not have the financial means to be reckless this summer. [...]

The summer of rebuilding for Arsenal should also be seen as the one whereby the club move on the deadwood for good. Arsene Wenger has got a lot wrong in the transfer market over the past few seasons and the Arsenal manager has one year left on his contract to rectify those mistakes. Not only should [...]

UEFA are doing all they can to make their secondary competition a little more attractive. Well not necessarily all they can, but they’re moving in the right direction by offering qualification to the Champions League. Although try to spot the irony. The thing about this, and especially with regards to teams like Tottenham, is they still [...]

Friends star Matt LeBlanc is just one of a number of celebrities descending on London to witness the Champions League Final between Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund at Wembley on Saturday. Matt LeBlanc was down at the #DiscoverFord event at the Champions Festival at Stratford earlier today to watch his friend and professional rally [...]

Being part of the Dortmund Champions League final squad is a great position to be in for a professional footballer. Did you seriously expect this when you moved to Dortmund last summer? It is truly an amazing feeling to play in the final of the Champions League with the BVB at Wembley. Ahead of my transfer [...]

What does being in the Champions League final mean to you personally? To be honest, I have never really thought about that and I also don’t think it really matters. I have had so many things to do, I haven’t even thought about it since we have reached the final. But once the moment of the [...]

You could hear the groans from the Arsenal support when the reports came through that the club were wrapping up a deal for Auxerre striker Yaya Sanogo. Same old Arsenal; going in for the youngsters or the unknowns, or, in this case, both. But what is Arsene Wenger supposed to do? If it had been [...]

Wouldn’t last January be seen as a bit of a waste if Newcastle opted to sack Alan Pardew this summer? Why does it have to be this way in football? One season offers nothing but high praise; the next is built on undertones that a new dawn is needed. Isn’t it enough that Pardew and [...]

On paper it makes perfect sense. It’s a nod to the future and the recruitment of Leandro Damiao could offer Tottenham long-term stability in attack – something which they’ve lacked in recent years. But at which point is it ok to accept that a ship has sailed? How many times have Tottenham been down this [...]

It ended in one of the most ridiculous draws we’re likely to see, the 5-5 at the Hawthorns against West Brom. It would have been more befitting if it ended this Saturday at Wembley, the modern game waving goodbye to one of the greatest managers we’ve known as he hoists the European Cup above his [...]

Aaron Ramsey did a lot right when put into his natural position in the centre of the midfield this season. After many frustrating experiments to get the player back on track after his injury problems of the past, Arsene Wenger finally opted to offer Ramsey a role that suited his limited (for now) creative contributions. [...]

It’s so easy in England to downplay the foreigners, largely because there isn’t a big enough campaign in this country for journalists to properly report what goes on in Europe. I most certainly wasn’t the only person to feel nothing but disdain for Martin Samuel’s piece on Manuel Pellegrini last week. But like so many [...]

Swansea City manager Michael Laudrup believes England and Spain are still the best two leagues to be in despite this year’s all-German Champions League final. Swansea will be competing in the Europa League next season after their Capital One Cup success at Wembley earlier this year and Laudrup feels the English and Spanish clubs will [...]

This weekend, the latest colourway of PUMA’s iconic King boot will make its on pitch debut at the UEFA Champions League final. Bayern Munich’s central defender Dante will be the first to wear the world renowned boot in new a white, red and black colourway at Wembley. The PUMA King FG is designed to give players [...]

A little over two years ago, Laurent Koscielny marked his most impressive performance for Arsenal, a 2-1 win at home against Barcelona. It was the level of quality from the defender that the occasion merited, arguably Arsenal’s finest night at the Emirates to date. At the end of this season, the Frenchman is rightly receiving [...]

Alex Ferguson’s final season with Manchester United has often been talked about as one of his finest campaigns, largely because he captured the club’s 20th league title with a squad who, against previous squads, would not be deemed the strongest. It was Ferguson in the dugout who strengthened the weaknesses in this United team, giving [...]

Real Madrid President Florentino Perez announced on Monday night that the club would be parting company with Jose Mourinho this summer, paving the way for a return to Chelsea for the Portuguese manager. In Roman Abramovich’s mind, it’s an act to permanently mend the scorched earth policy that seems to be left by Mourinho once he [...]

PUMA’s latest colourway of the PowerCat 1 FG football boot will be debuted on pitch by Marco Reus in the most important match of the year this weekend. Reus, who has been an instrumental figure in the Borussia Dortmund’s successes on the road to the UEFA Champions League final, will wear his new black and yellow [...]

Wigan’s eight-year stay in the Premier League ended with a 2-2 draw against Aston Villa at the DW Stadium. Roberto Martinez post-match… “I will have a full week to sit down with the chairman to talk about things. Whatever happens I think Wigan has a bright future. It’s a day of mixed feelings but the fans understand [...]
