I am currently completing a MA in Sport, Culture and Society. I'm a passionate sports fans, but my main love lies with football and following Manchester United.
The Real Problem with Liverpool
With this being an international week, it is perhaps unsurprising there has been such media drama surrounding Liverpool and how their current, inept owners are damaging the club and are apparently the primary reason for the side’s worst ever start to a Premier League season. Although it does look increasingly likely this is about to…
Arsenal losing Fabregas may not be as bad as people think
Let me just me one thing clear before I discuss what many people may consider a ludicrous thought. Cesc Fabregas is a brilliant footballer and I am in no way questioning or doubting his ability.

This team would be made up of international players…
If Capello wants Defoe as super-sub, why not use Owen?
Michael Owen once again demonstrated class is permanent in his clinical performance away at Wolfsburg. Three well taken goals will have no doubt helped stake his claim for a regular place in the United line-up and will have done his confidence a world of good. Seeing Owen in that form was like rolling the years…
