The 2012/13 season hasn’t been the most productive of Nani’s at Old Trafford; however he did display flashes of his former self in Manchester United’s recent cup win over Reading and Sir Alex Ferguson will be hoping that the Portuguese winger maintains that level of performance as the Red Devils enter the business end of the [...]

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 [...]

There has been no shortage of celebrity Arsenal fans over the years, for example even Her Royal Majesty the Queen of England has been accused of following the Arsenal in the past, before she broke Arsenal hearts by confirming that her allegiance lies with the Hammers. However, these ten celebrities are fully fledged, Arsenal loving humanoids, and [...]

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 [...]

Thanks to Melissa Satta, even if former Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Kevin-Prince Boateng doesn’t win that many honours during his career, he will still be remembered by us all. The underwear model has made plenty of boasts about her activities with Boateng and even claims that she is responsible for the AC Milan star’s injury problems this [...]

As the dust finally settles on what has been a rather subdued January transfer window for Tottenham Hotspur , it appears that supporters have had a mixed view on the club or in particular Dan Levy’s performance in the past month. The general consensus appears to be that supporters believe that Andre Villas-Boas has been sold short, [...]

Despite the thrills and excitement that modern football provides us with, from the ever improving Premier League to the glamourous Champions League battles which are shown on our televisions, talked about on our radios and written about in our newspapers (and on the world wide web), football today is not all it’s cracked up to be. [...]

Cesc Fabregas did many things during his time at Arsenal, but arguably the most influential factor of his arrival to this shores was to wake up the Premier League fraternity to the wealth of young talent abroad, should clubs be prepared to take a gamble and look to utilise their obscure policy in Europe over the age you [...]

As we enter the last 11 days of the January transfer window , we can fully expect to see a deluge of last minute shopping as clubs delve into the market in order to save their respective seasons. There are plenty clubs looking to be busy in the market, so it looks likes we can expect a frantic [...]

Not every move to the Premier League ends in joy and there are plenty of players who shall we say just weren’t cut out for the top division in England. For many it proved the beginning of the end in their footballing careers, given the majority were left tarnished from their stint in English football. Looking back at [...]

When the BBC interviewed the ‘secret footballer’ last week, he was asked the question as to whether John Terry was popular within the football fraternity. Like with most loaded questions, the bullet was cleverly dodged, although you did sense by the pause and hesitancy that he perhaps wasn’t the most loved by his peers. To be [...]

If there is one thing about the January transfer window that is guaranteed is that there are certain clubs who continually panic buy in the hope that signing will help save their season. So much money has been squandered, adding credence to the feeling that it is a bad time to do business. The likes of Chelsea and [...]

With the January transfer window well and truly open, the Premier League elite are continuing to stalk the market to find the best deals available to help enhance their respective campaigns. There are plenty of transfer bargains about and some excellent deals in the offing, should clubs get their finger out and tie the deals down [...]

You either love tattoos or hate them, but among the football fraternity it is seemingly a must have for footballers who clearly have too much money and time on their hands and who therefore see the need to decorate their bodies in all different types patterns and designs. Martin Skrtel and Daniel Agger are arguably the [...]

Tattoos are like Andrey Arshavin and Gervinho in that you either like them or hate them; however it is fair to say that they have become the modern footballers personal stamp, with players trying to out do each other with their latest garish designs. Some are good, some are bad and in Stephen Ireland’s case damn [...]

The January window is widely considered to be a bad time to conduct transfer business, given that clubs who are desperate to turnaround their season turn to panic buying in order to kickstart their revival. The selling club takes full advantage of the buyers woes and bumps up the transfer fee accordingly, leaving the club [...]

Sir Alex Ferguson has been extremely vocal in his disapproval at Tottenham’ s capture of former United starlet Zeki Fryers. Whether the Scotsman’s frustration is simply down to being outdone by the clever businessman that is Daniel Levy; or whether the Red Devils have realised that yet another top youngster has slipped the Old Trafford net? Manchester United [...]

It is common belief among managers that January is a bad time to do transfer business, but history has certainly proved that to be something of a myth in football. Chelsea certainly didn’t have to break the bank to land Demba Ba; Tottenham can apparently fast-track the deal to sign Lewis Holtby for a mere £1.6m, [...]

The Ballon D’Or in Zurich tonight, as Europe’s finest gathers to see if Lionel Messi is able to claim his 4th consecutive award. It will be no shock if he does, even if one journalist in the red tops today said it would be immoral if he won it this year. I guess 90+ goals in [...]

Tattoos are like Marmite where you either live them or hate them, although they are becoming extremely common within football – not only by players on the pitch, but those supporters off it who choose to cement their allegiance by getting their clubs crest and name emblazoned on certain body parts. It is fair to say [...]
