You may love or hate Jose Mourinho but boy you have to respect him, as if ever there was a manager who can walk the walk then it is him. There are not many managers in the game who can go toe to toe with him; even someone like Fergie has only beaten him twice in [...]

Chelsea duo John Terry and Ashley Cole are back in club training after overcoming recent injuries, according to Sky Sports . The pair trained with the rest of the Blues’ group on Wednesday and are now in the running to be included in Roberto Di Matteo’s matchday squad for the game against London rivals QPR on Saturday. Cole [...]

Liverpool chairman Tom Werner has admitted that he is glad that the world now knows the truth behind the Hillsborough disaster. 96 people died in the incident back in April 1986, and the Hillsborough Independent Panel’s released report has revealed that South Yorkshire Police instructed police officers to change their statements after the event. Werner has [...]

The FA have set a date for the start of their hearing over John Terry’s alleged racist comments against Anton Ferdinand, according to The Daily Mail . The Chelsea and England defender was accused by the QPR man of using inflammatory and racist language in a Premier League fixture at Loftus Road last season. The police took action [...]

Arsenal are reportedly keeping an eye on Didier Drogba’s situation at Shanghai Shenhua, according to The Sun . The Ivory Coast international ended eight years of playing at Chelsea at the culmination of last season, and left Stamford Bridge to join the Chinese Super League club on a lucrative contract. However, there are doubts over the financial longevity [...]

England have scored a late equaliser to draw 1-1 with Ukraine in World Cup qualifying on Tuesday. Yevhen Konoplyanka gave the visitors the lead on the brink of half-time with a well-placed curled effort, and the Three Lions looked to be heading towards defeat as the second period rolled on. However, Frank Lampard scored a penalty [...]

Wales have slipped to a 6-1 hammering at the hands of Serbia on Tuesday night. The hosts looked markedly the better side in the World Cup qualifying fixture from the first whistle and stormed into a 2-0 lead through goals from Aleksandar Kolarov and Zoran Tosic. Gareth Bale gave the Celtic visitors hope with a sublime [...]

Northern Ireland have drawn 1-1 with European minnows Luxembourg in Belfast on Tuesday night. The hosts were looking to make amends after losing their first World Cup qualifier to Russia, and took the lead through a Dean Shields strike in the first-half. The home side looked to be heading for a slender victory, but Daniel da [...]

We are pleased to announce the launch of the new-look Football FanCast website. With traffic numbers ever increasing in 2012, we felt the need to give the site a total new design, as well as a full navigation overhaul in order to give our visitors a far greater user experience. We have added various new features [...]

There is little doubt in mind that tomorrow afternoon will reveal what has been one of the greatest cover ups (not only in football) in history – as I fully expect the Hillsborough  Independent Panel to reveal damning verdicts on both the South Yorkshire Police and the emergency services for their handling and reaction on that [...]

Andre Villas-Boas and Brendan Rodgers waltzed into their new football clubs with grand ideas and plans to transform the current workings and methods of the previous setup and told supporters they could look forward to the brightest of futures. Normal protocol for any new manager moving in; it’s just a shame their employers failed to give [...]

It’s often been said that the powers that be within the realms of English football aren’t particularly au fait with pulling in the same direction. Whilst the Premier League has always felt too wrapped up in it’s own hype and commercial shtick to cater to the greater needs of English football, the cataclysmic fallings of the FA at [...]

After Tottenham skipper Ledley King decided to hang up his boots last month after finally succumbing to the effects of a chronic knee injury, it brought into sharp focus the real dearth of one-club footballers currently plying their trade in the top flight. The tributes rightly poured in for King, here was a player aligned to [...]

I don’t think I’ll ever understand the logic of football clubs and the way they conduct their transfer business. I understand there is a great need to broker the best deal for the football club, but should it be at the detriment of the team’s progress? The problem with the transfer window is that it encourages [...]

Dimitar Berbatov must often sit back at home and wonder where it is all going wrong and attempt to understand why football has seemingly categorised him as a player who is lazy and cannot cut it on the big occasion. Of course it is a ridiculous assertion, but it is something that has gathered a huge [...]

For those of you that have ever been to a football club AGM and the obvious contempt the chairman and owners have for those sitting in front of them, then like me you may afford yourself a wry smile at the way some of them are squirming in the face of supporters protest. There was a [...]

In the job that I’m in it is amazing to see the way supporters see the beautiful game, with many clearly believing that football only started the moment Sky Sports got its mucky paws on it and created this monster that is now the Premier League. The game did exist before and in my view was [...]

Football has become an extremely cynical world, where you are only as good as your last game, only as good as your last job and any new signings have to hit the ground running to avoid being called a flop from day one. Patience no longer exists within football or any real sense of perspective. The [...]

You could say Sol Campbell has never been my favourite player in football, largely down to my North London roots, but I can’t help but feel that he and the large part of the nation had been duped by the BBC in their scaremongering of what football fans can expect had they stepped foot in Poland [...]

Daniel Levy has delusions of grandeur according to one respected Guardian journalist, who joined the growing pack of media wolves who are out to get the Tottenham chairman, following his decision to remove the Fleet Street darling that is Harry Redknapp from his managerial duties at the club. It is Armageddon time at N17, as the [...]
