Jay Bothroyd, Seth Johnson, Kevin Davies, Michael Ricketts and David Nugent are just some of the names who have all worn an England shirt to the supporters amusement. Needless to say, these average Premier League footballers were never good enough to wear the Three Lions shirt. Additionally, there are those players on the other side of [...]

With exactly two months to go until the January transfer window opens, all twenty Premier League managers will be contemplating who they would like to have on their shopping lists.

Some of the Premier League’ s top players have all experience playing in the Football League.

Looking towards the future there is an exciting range of players who all have great potential to [...]

Sir Alex Ferguson, Arsene Wenger are the two finest managers to have graced the Premier League in its twenty year history. They have been responsible for signing some of the Premier Leagues best such as Cristiano Ronaldo and Thierry Henry alike. Unfortunately they have also been responsible for importing some of the worst players England’s top [...]

Whilst most sports have scoffed at the likes of cricket and tennis, it is now becoming more common in football that players are switching nationalities from youth to senior level, or playing for countries outside of their birth. As a result of globalisation, which is primarily a good thing for society, we are seeing the issue [...]

It’s fair to say it’s been a bit of a miserable time for Emmanuel Adebayor since making his move from Manchester City to  Tottenham a permanent one in the summer. As well as being absent for the first few weeks of the  Premier League  season with back and then hamstring troubles, the Togolese striker has been limited to just [...]

In another eagerly anticipated weekend in the Premier League where there is sure to be high drama, goalmouth action and controversial issues to be witnessed, what is likely to ensue in midweek will appear a dreary damp squib. Yes, you guessed it, it’s the international break. Though thankfully, not a two-week break which makes us put a [...]

Victor Moses’ last gasp header to win the game for Chelsea in their 3-2 win over Shaktar Donetsk last night was another timely reminder of what a good start to his Blues career the Nigerian international has made. While players such as Shaun Wright-Phillips, Scott Parker and Steve Sidwell have failed to make the transition from [...]

Whilst many of us readers would love to have the lifestyle of a Premier League footballer – the adrenaline rush of playing in front of thousands of adoring fans, the tens of thousands going into their account every Friday, driving into three hours of training in an Aston Martin – life always has a way of teaching [...]

What to make of the 25-year-old born in Cape Verde, applying his trade for Manchester United and Portugal affectionately known as Nani. Often ranging from the sublime to the ridiculous, at times he can set the footballing world alight with flashes of brilliance.

Tuesday the 30 th October 2012 is a very special night in the history of English football.

Following Theo Walcott’s impressive performance in the incredible 7-5 victory at Reading on Tuesday night, in which the striker scored a hat-trick, earning him the man of the match award, discussions have yet again been brought to the surface in the media as to where Walcott’s future lies. Walcott has certainly received masses of praise since his performance [...]

The utility player, a player who can cover a range of positions, is very often regarded as a useful asset to Premier League teams. When injuries and suspensions have occurred, many a time have top flight managers turned to their versatile man. However, whilst being able to perform in several positions has its advantages, it does often [...]

In the past decade there have been transfers gone through which has left one scratching one’s head wondering, ‘what were they thinking?’ The most recent bizarre transfers to occur is Edgar Davids’ move to take a player/co-manager position at Barnet. However, since the turn of the century football has been littered with bizarre transfers. Whilst some [...]
