Wesley Sneijder to Manchester United must be one of the longest running transfer sagas in recent memory, if not the most annoying. It is clear the Dutchman’s apparent love to come to English football continues to hit a stumbling block; basically nobody fancies agreeing to his wage demands, therefore ensuring he will remain at the San [...]

The Premier League may not be the best league in the world but it is certainly the most expensive, both on and off the pitch. The Sky money has raised the bar in English football whereby the equal split of TV revenues ensures that each club within it tends to have a bit of a transfer [...]

It has been a tough time for Arsene Wenger this season with pundits, ex-players and the press doing everything to stick the knife into the Arsenal manager this season. The decision to take off Oxlade-Chamberlain earlier this year against United caused more headaches than the Frenchman could have imagined and scrutiny over his management like he [...]

The world of football has perhaps the shortest of memories. New players seem to come and go every season, having either struggled to live up to expectations, found themselves unable to settle or simply moved on to bigger and better things. Quite often these ‘stars’ fail to live up to the glories of their early careers, [...]

The award season is now upon us and as we fast approach the announcement of the nominees for both the PFA player of the year awards (young and old), I thought I would take a closer look at the performances of the Premier League players and those who will be in contention not only for the [...]

Robin van Persie proved yesterday what a vital cog he is in this Arsenal side and without him we would simply be lost. Arsene Wenger may not like to admit it in public but if it wasn’t for the Dutchman the Gunners would be nowhere near the top four of the Premier League, given the lack [...]

Arsene Wenger has always prided himself on placing a lot of faith in youth. Cesc Fabregas, Alex Song and Jack Wilshere are just a small example of the huge success that Wenger has had in finding and blooding young raw talent into his Arsenal squad over the years As with all successes, there are always failures, [...]

I recently stumbled on have an article in the Mirror stating that Arsenal striker Marouane Chamakh is one of the worst signings in recent history – pretty dire considering he was free. This got me to thinking, is he really that bad in comparison to some of the other howler signings made by Premier League clubs? Sometimes [...]

It’s never easy to condense twenty years of Premier League talent in to a list of the best eleven players and it’s still difficult to select my favourite 11 foreign imports. Although some overseas stars have been left out of the Premier League’s Greatest Foreign XI, I believe there is a team of quality, class and [...]

Players can come out of nowhere and burst onto the Premier League scene, wowing supporters and managers alike. Unfortunately, it is a lot easier to fall from the limelight and disappear into a being an unknown footballer that should and could have been brilliant. Whether it be an expensive signing after impressing abroad or making a [...]

In light of FFC’s focus on troublesome footballers this week, I have decided to constructed a Top Ten list of footballers misbehaving abroad. Although the sport has increased in professionalism over the last few decades, there are still a number of stories reported that show the players in a worse light off the pitch. Although, we [...]

Arsenal fan’s willingness to show their dedication comes in all shapes and sizes. One such way is to splay their dedication over their body in the form of a tattoo. I can understand why somebody might choose to tattoo their footballing allegiance onto their body. Whilst women come and go, a football team is for life. [...]

Since his appointment in 1996, Arsenal fans have seen a multitude of top class talent play under Arsene Wenger. Dennis Bergkamp, Tony Adams, Thierry Henry, Robert Pires and Patrick Viera are just some of the many star players that have donned the red and white of Arsenal. But who is the best XI to feature under [...]

Here is a selection of players whose services, in my view, Newcastle United should have retained for longer than they did. There are a range of different players who wore the famous black and white stripes at one stage in their career. I personally have witnessed the talent on show from all of these great players [...]

Players come and go from football clubs all over the world (the turnover of players at Newcastle is greater than most clubs in the Premier League!) and we fondly remember those players who have given us such great memories wearing our teams’ colours. In contrast there are also those players who didn’t live up to the [...]

Every so often, your team makes an absolutely inexplicable signing. United may never provide an explanation for the purchase of Bebe last year and the Gunners likewise with Amaury Bischoff in 2008, so who are Tottenham’s most baffling signings since the Premier League began? It is important to distinguish between Spurs worst signings and their most [...]
