All Things Football #12

Well same old story for Arsenal, another bitter loss, another pre-match bout of cocky talk that has backfired and another reason to show that the current crop of Arsenal players are a deluded bunch who are so engrossed with their “brand” of football . Don’t get me wrong Arsenal have some talented players, players who [...]

David Villa to Old Trafford, Fernando Torres to Eastlands & Jermain Defoe to the Camp Nou

Sunday transfer rumours never disappoint do they? The first one that caught my eye today was a rumour that has been doing the rounds for months and months and month. Manchester United are apparently preparing a massive January transfer window bid for Valencia striker David Villa. The Spanish international has been linked with a move [...]

Chelsea are in a league of their own this season

Well that was impressive to say the least. No matter who you support, you would have to admit that Chelsea are looking outstanding this season.

Looking at their upcoming fixtures, that seems unlikely. But never say [...]

It’s Paul over for Hart at Fratton Park

Portsmouth have this evening sacked Paul Hart (who seems surprisingly happy) after what can only be described as a pathetic start to this Premier League campaign. The south coast club are currently rooted to the bottom of the table with just seven points to their name and I think it’s fair to say that it’s [...]
