Roy Keane
Manchester United legend and current Sunderland manager, Roy Keane is the devil incarnate, or just a bloody single-minded brute, or a genius, depending on your point of view. A great player and has all the trappings of a great manager, dragging Sunderland from the bottom of the Championship to title winners and automatic promotion to the Premiership, all in the space of one season.
Fergie’s Greatest Ever? We may well be looking at them…

It’s that time of the year again. The time when a random (ok, let’s call it ‘well-respected’ if you prefer) football publication makes an “All Time Best” ranking that never fails to create controversy and offend a few people.

Shock Development: Keano’s Angry
This article is a submission for the Soccerlens Football Writing Competition; to participate, please read the details here. Written by John Conroy. God bless Roy Keane.

Rooney return, SAF attacked, next Manchester United manager
Will he or won’t he? With wonderkid Wayne Rooney itching to get back to first-team action there were rumours that he could be brought back, in some role, for the Manchester United v Everton game.

I saw the Sunderland-Liverpool game and it pains me to say that Sunderland, for all their fighting spirit, lack quality and experience all over the pitch.
Roy Keane: I don’t want hot WAGS at Sunderland. Bastard!
Sunderland manager Keano’s latest tirade is priceless: “We have had one or two players this year and their wives are clearly part of the package. “We had one player this summer who didn’t even have the courtesy to call us back because his wife wanted to move to London – and shopping was mentioned.” Keano,…
Richardson will lead Sunderland to greater glory
As a Roy Keane fan (obviously), I rooted for Sunderland last season and will be following them again this season in the Premiership. For Sunderland fans these are days filled with optimism, and there’s every reason to expect a Reading-like season for Roy Keane’s men. However, it would be remiss of me as a football…
And the Premiership’s greatest player is…
On Monday I asked everyone who they thought was the Premiership’s greatest player ever. There were plenty of varied responses, but the votes centered around a handful of players (I’ve listed them below). Some very interesting observations were made as well – one of the key ones being that any such list is ‘striker-heavy’ because…
