Weekend Predictions: Tottenham, Everton, Villa, Arsenal, Man Utd to win, Liverpool, Man City, Sunderland, West Ham and Newcastle to lose
No man is an island, with the possible exception of Frank Lampard. We all crave companionship, but I crossed the line in my pursuit of Helen Chamberlain. I sneaked in to the Soccer AM studios and took a few unauthorised photos to publish on my website. I’ve now been charged with intent to distribute obscene…
Top 5 West Ham fire-sale players – Newcastle, Tottenham and Arsenal would be interested

Here is a rundown of the potential movers and…

Gerry takes a break from his weekly drudgery of crime-fighting and orphan-rescuing to give you the latest on English football and your best bet for the weekend. In many ways I’m like a dwarf – I find it hard to put my hand in my pocket. I never waste money on a newspaper and only…

Not the brinksmanship, the complaints about tapping up, or even the idea of billion-dollar teams squabbling over a couple million pounds. The one thing that really stood out to me was all the talk about “dream moves.” It seemed like every high-profile star…

Shoud the transfer window close before the season starts?
Few noticed last week when Juande Ramos called for a shortening of the transfer window, but the nuclear fallout from Monday’s race to the finish seems to support his argument. Prior to Monday, Robinho had been settling in nicely for another season at Real Madrid, Kevin Keegan was sorting out his first proper season in…

The Premiership woke up this morning to a lot of excitement. Everton fans were celebrating breaking their transfer record, West Ham fans were incredulous that they had sold half their defence without replacing them, Liverpool fans were “overjoyed” at signing two foreign 18-year-olds to add to their increasing collection of foreign 18-year-olds, Newcastle were celebrating…
