As the ball dropped to Nathaniel Chalobah at Leicester’s King Power Stadium, the crowd held their breath.

Kasper Schmeichel could [...]

It’s been a tough week for Roy Hodgson’s England. After sticking eight past the whipping boys of world football, San Marino, they faced a tougher test away to Montenegro – a test they failed miserably. A point leaves them second in the World Cup qualifying group and their current form suggests there’s no chance they’ll be [...]

Rio Ferdinand has been in the headlines this week after being recalled to the England squad, only to pull out citing a ‘pre-planned fitness programme’ at Manchester United .

This week’s Champions League tie between Manchester United and Real Madrid was memorable for a number of reasons.

The Frank Lampard contract debacle at Chelsea has taken a bizarre twist after the talismanic defender changed his name in order to force through negotiations on a new deal at Stamford Bridge.

Tottenham defender Benoît Assou-Ekotto’s commitment to football has often been questioned in the past, but the latest news coming out of White Hart Lane suggests it’s even worse than Lilywhites fans first thought. The Cameroonian, who once told The Guardian : “I play for the money. Football’s not my passion” has been diagnosed with what medical experts are calling ‘soccer [...]

Tottenham Hotspur have been in great form in the Premier League this season and go into Sunday’s North London derby as the overwhelming favourites in what is sure to be a memorable clash.

In times of trouble, you need your friends and by the looks of Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger in recent weeks, he could certainly do with a shoulder to cry on. And who better to offer a few words of wisdom than Sir Alex Ferguson? Sure the two have had their run-ins, but with a wealth of experience [...]

Gillette Soccer Saturday combines every man’s three favourite things; Saturdays, Football and Shaving.

There’s humour to be found in [...]

It’s been a turbulent season at Chelsea Football Club . The sacking of Roberto Di Matteo was seen by most as harsh, even by Roman Abramovich’s standards, while things on the pitch with interim manager Rafa Benitez haven’t been much better. Two club stalwarts that have been caught up in the furore are Frank Lampard and John Terry. While [...]

A week is a long time in football, but what will have happened in the beautiful game in six months time? Will diving become an artform? Will the Special One return to the Premier League? And what new fad will replace the snood? That is the question we were asked by O2 for their Future [...]

Last month’s  Premier League transfer window will be remembered by Arsene Wenger and Chris Hughton for some time, but for very different reasons. While Hughton managed the capture of Leeds striker Luciano Becchio he saw his pursuit for Celtic hitman Gary Hooper hit a snag as the The Buoys refused four attempts to sign their prized asset. On the [...]
