There has been a lot of speculation in the past couple of weeks on the future of Wayne Rooney. It has been reported that the England forward had asked to leave the club. But after Manchester United’s victory over Swansea, Sir Alex Ferguson confirmed in an interview that Wayne Rooney had asked for a transfer. If [...]

Chelsea’s striker Demba Ba and actor Tyrese Gibson appear the same. Tyrese, an actor, musician, model and producer, can do a bit more than the Senegalese striker. Ba has done well for himself. Before he moved to West Ham United, a proposed move to Stoke City fell through because of medical reasons. The medical staff saw [...]

Arsenal’s back up goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski and friends star Matt LeBlanc seem alike. The Polish international was signed by Arsenal from Legia Warsaw. Since his arrival at the Emirates, Fabianski has struggled to claim the number one spot. He’s been back up to the calamitous Manuel Almunia and now Wojciech Szczesny. But with Arsenal’s current goalkeeping [...]

Manchester United’s super sub Javier Hernandez and singer songwriter Bruno Mars do look alike. The little Mexican is a star in his own right. If ever United are in need of a goal, Chicharito is the man to turn to. Bruno Mars is a massive pop star all over globe. With Hernandez not playing regularly for [...]

Another grey shirt, another shocking football strip. This time it’s Chelsea’s turn to produce a terrible away kit. The Blues wore this strip from 1994-96. Even legends like Ruud Gullit had to try and perform in this travesty. The top is a bit of a mess. Patches of grey are separated by orange lines. There’s light [...]

Liverpool have had some shocking kits in the past. Their grey kit from a few seasons ago, or the couple of illuminous yellow jersey’s they have produced. But for me, the worst strip they have produced is their alternate kit between 1994-96. The mustard kit is not the worst colour. I’d certainly prefer to wear that [...]

Umbro really did produce some bad kits during the early 90s. To go along with the bad grey designs they produced for Manchester United and Chelsea, Umbro supplied this terrible third kit for Tottenham Hotspur in the early 90s. The kit is split into two. The lower half has the occasional pin stripe, where the top [...]

There’s not a great deal of difference in Liverpool‘s Joe Allen and Billy Elliot. They were both stars once, but both have now gone on to fade away. Billy Elliot, or Jamie Bell, the actor that played Billy Elliot in the movie, was hot property after the film was released. Jamie won awards and the film about [...]

Manchester United’s infamous grey kit will live on forever.  The strip was worn in the 1995-96 season. United’s record in the grey kit was not impressive, in the five games United wore it, they lost four and drew the other. But on a warm sunny day down on the south coast, Manchester United were playing Southampton [...]

Aston Villa ‘s away kit in 1993 can only be described as horrendous. The black and green strip with red pin stripes just doesn’t work. There’s a saying when it comes to wearing different coloured clothes, ‘red and green, shouldn’t be seen.’ If only people at Asics had taken this into account when making this terrible strip. [...]

This Arsenal kit is one of the worst strips to ever be produced. It’s a horror of a kit. The yellow and navy chevron style kit was worn by Arsenal players during 1991-93 – the early years of the Premier League . It’s an amazing achievement to think that this kit lasted two seasons. The kit was nicknamed the [...]

Tottenham Hotspur ‘s Brazilian goalkeeper Heurelho Gomes and former World’s Smallest Man Pingping seem to share a canny resemblance. The Brazilian keeper, who was signed from PSV Eindhoven, has struggled to make a good impression in the Premier League . Tottenham gave Gomes plenty of chances, but in truth, he is a bit of a liability. After Tottenham signed Brad [...]

The most talented striker that Manchester United have in their academy is Will Keane. The England Under-21 international is lethal in front of goal. Keane can score with both feet, good in the air, links the play well and can execute the killer pass. Keane is a Manchester boy. His twin brother Michael is also on [...]

Adnan Januzaj has been impressing in Manchester United’s reserve side. Januzaj, who is of Kosovan heritage but with Belgium nationality, has even drawn comparisons to David Beckham. The creative midfielder has been a major part of Warren Joyce’s side this season. The Belgian normally operates on the right hand side of midfield despite being left footed. [...]

Norwegian starlet, Mats Daehli is the brightest prospect to come out of Norway. The Manchester United youngster has had a lot of praise and at just 18 years old, a very bright future is expected. Daehli is a very creative midfielder. He has a great range of passing, good vision, exceptional close ball control and good [...]

Manchester United ‘s young Dutch winger Gyliano van Velzen looks to have a bright future in the game. The lanky left winger may not have the appearance of a typical tricky winger, but van Velzen is a tall, skilful and pacy winger. The Dutchman can also be used up front, like he did for the youth team [...]

Frederic Veseli joined Manchester United after being released by neighbours Manchester City. The Swiss under-20 star arrived at United with a big reputation and a lot of potential. The youngster has all the attributes to make a world class centre half. He reads the game well, has good positional sense, strong in the air and strong [...]

With a large squad and a lot of talented youngsters, it is important that Manchester United send players out on loan to continue their progress and gain valuable first team experience. Below is a list of several players who have been sent out on loan by United and how they are getting on. Manchester United’s Chilean forward [...]

In the past, the thought of Manchester United selling Nemanja Vidic would of been seen as catastrophic. But now, the potential loss of Vidic in the summer doesn’t seem quite so bad. The Serbian defender is about to enter the final year of his contract and has had a torrid time with injuries in the last few [...]

Queens Park Rangers star Christopher Samba has told fans to get over his wages after the defender apologised for his poor performance against Fulham. Samba was at fault for the first two goals as QPR were beaten 3-2. Samba conceded a penalty which Dimitar Berbatov scored, he then lost possession to the Bulgarian, who went on to score [...]
