Steven Taylor, the much-hyped (and promising) Newcastle United defender: “The longer I hear nothing from the club the more I fear they want to sell me. If there is no offer on the table by the summer then I will have no choice but to look at my options.” So, assuming that Newcastle United get…
Andriy Shevchenko – how the mighty have fallen

Liverpool fans are a funny bunch.

John Terry’s season just seems to go from bad to worse. Chelsea coach Ten Cate has admitted to a ‘bust up’ with Terry prior to the Carling Cup Final defeat on Sunday. “We are both kind of emotional, but we respect each other fully,” Ten Cate told The Sun. “We just had a discussion about…
Chelsea Watch: Why is Avram Grant being criticised?
The monotony was finally ended on Sunday as Tottenham became the first club outside the top four to win a trophy in England since Middlesbrough in 2004. It was a deserved victory by Ramos’ men as they come from back from a goal down to beat Chelsea. But as one manager is receiving praises for…
