Are Arsenal Gunner win the league?

I have to admit, Arsenal’s performance impressed me tonight. Arsene Wenger’s men saw-off the Premier League’s bottom side Portsmouth 4-1 to move to within four points of leaders Chelsea with a game in hand. The reason why I was so impressed with tonight’s result was down to the fact that they comfortably beat a side [...]

Liverpool could do a lot worse than Ruud Van Nistelrooy

The opening of the January transfer window is literally hours away and the number of rumours in the BBC gossip column is beginning to grow and grow. Ruud Van Nistelrooy to Liverpool is one such rumour which appears in the column this today. The Real Madrid striker has been linked with a move back to [...]

It’s a big win but Liverpool still won’t be finishing in the Top 4

Tonight’s victory away to Aston Villa was big, however I still maintain my opinion that Liverpool will not be finishing in the Top 4 of the Premier League this season. Rafa Benitez’ men now sit just four points off 4th place with just over a half of the season now gone but with Tottenham, Manchester [...]

Fantasy Football as a Way of Analysis, Vol. 4

Just a quick one here in the wake of Man City’s 3-0 defeat of Wolves tonight. Following City’s victory over Stoke, Cathal wrote that Mancini had made his first mistake in dropping Craig Bellamy so that the most expensive man in British football, Robinho, could make a start. Mancini put that right this evening, and [...]

One player Arsenal need to sign to win the Premier League title this season

Arsenal are now only four points behind Chelsea at the top of the Premier League table following yesterday’s 3-0 victory over in-form Aston Villa, however I still firmly believe Arsene Wenger needs to sign a top class player during the January transfer window if they are to win their first Premier League title in six [...]

Roberto Mancini makes his first mistake as Manchester City manager

Two goals, three points and a clean sheet. Good start for new Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini, however the Italian has already made his first mistake since entering the hot seat at Eastlands. Mancini’s decision to leave Craig Bellamy out of his starting line-up this afternoon was big error in my opinion which will no [...]

Another transfer window, another move for Robbie Keane?

It is perhaps unsurprising that as we get ready for the January transfer window, the name Robbie Keane is at the centre of much of the transfer speculation. The Tottenham striker has made no fewer than seven moves in his 12 year career, however it seems as though he may be about to turn that [...]

Liverpool are no longer a force to be reckoned with

100/1 to win the Premier League this season. Says a lot really. For years and years now, Liverpool have failed to live up to expectations on the domestic front, however this season it’s not just the domestic form that’s let them down, as we all know by now, they failed to progress from the Champions [...]
