A simple scoreboard...

Tonight I made the short trip from my house to watch Nottingham Forest v Blackburn in one of the Carling Cup games many had identified to have the potential for a cup upset, the game itself was patchy with one of two niggly injury periods of two or three…

Here are my predictions for this weekend’s Premier League fixtures – make sure you add yours to…

Did Liverpool, Blackburn and the rest miss out on this bargain £2m striker?

As the transfer deadline drew to a close it seems French Side Monaco may have stolen the show with the move of the summer. While the big money moved the likes of Robben, CR7 and Kaka, it was the shock signing of Icelander Eidur Gudjohnsen for a measly amount of 2M Euros that may turn…

The Injury Curse – Lose them at your peril

United can't afford an injury to Rooney...

Every club has one. That vital cog that keeps the team wheels turning. With the season in its infancy, supporters up and down the land are still harbouring dreams of glory (or at the very least over achievement, given that short of a billionaire Sheikh turning up on your doorstep, thoughts of the title are…

Tuesdays have never been so exciting in football

David James to leave Portsmouth?

Tuesdays have never been so exciting. Even the institution that is the UEFA Champions League and the subsequent “Champions Tuesdays” fanfare it precipitated hasn’t managed to turn a day of boredom and wistful gazing towards weekends past and future into anything more than a filler day. Seasoned office conversationalists agree on very little- the Euro,…

The big clubs have been relatively quiet recently, but it looks like things are picking up on that front as the end of the summer transfer season edges nearer. Another long-running transfer saga has bitten the dust, as Wesley Sneijder’s future has been resolved, and though it may not be the ending that he wanted…

Can Manchester United kick Arsenal out of the title race?

The Premier League will take two weeks off for the international break (giving Wenger and Benitez another opportunity to crib about Fabregas and Torres playing for Spain) – but don’t worry, the title race will take another exciting twist this weekend as Manchester United and Arsenal have a go at kicking each other out of…

Transfer Rumors (26 August 09): Aston Villa close on Warnock, Birmingham move for Boro’s Tuncay, Russian return for Spurs’ Pavlyuchenko, and more

After giving you a rundown of the latest transfer news and rumors earlier today, I’m back this evening with another fresh batch of signings and speculation. Despite an extremely impressive performance in holding Liverpool to a solitary goal in their surprise win at Anfield on Monday, Martin O’Neill is making it a priority to bolster…

Premier League Predictions: Manchester United and Chelsea to win, Tottenham to lose

Premier League Predictions: Manchester United and Chelsea to win, Tottenham to lose

The first week of the 09-10 Premier League season has thrown up a few surprises (and pleasant ones at that). The newcomers to the league have been in typically plucky form, Arsenal and Tottenham have managed excellent starts that, for the moment at least, give hope that their much-hyped potential will be realised this year….

Transfer Rumors (18 August 09): Chelsea sign Serb starlet Matic, Liverpool close on Greek defender Kyrgiakos, Everton in for Tottenham’s Bentley and Hutton, and more

It looks like Benitez has worked around the financial constraints imposed upon him to find his man to fill Liverpool’s apparent need for a new center back, and he’s not the Premier League manager adding (or trying to add) quality depth to his squad.
