Manchester United and Arsenal prove why the Premier League is still the best in the world

Manchester United 4-0 AC Milan.
Arsenal 5-0 Porto.
Real Madrid 1-1 Lyon.
There has been talk over the past few months that the Premier League has began to fall behind La Liga in terms of it’s overall quality. With players like Cristiano Ronaldo and Xabi Alonso swapping England for Spain last summer, many felt that La Liga would [...]

Can Cristiano Ronaldo make all the difference for Real Madrid tonight?

Real Madrid will be looking to overturn a 1-0 deficit tonight in the second-leg of their Champions League last 16 tie with Lyon and many, including myself believe that Cristiano Ronaldo may prove all the difference for the Spanish giants.
The former Manchester United man has been in cracking form of late for Real and you [...]

England Not To Be Written Off For World Cup After Win Against African Champions

England may have beaten the African champions 3-1 on Wednesday night but it seems fans and bookies have been left equally unimpressed by the performance in the first hour of the game especially.
England went in at half time 1-0 down with several players underperforming but after several subs in the second half things picked up [...]

Arsenal must now be considered favourites to win the Premier League title

Although the bookies still have Chelsea and Manchester United ahead of Arsenal in the market to win this season’s Premier League, I personally believe that Arsene Wenger’s men should now be considered the favourites.
The 3-1 at home to Burnley yesterday wasn’t great, however that win now leaves Arsenal just two points behind Manchester United and [...]

Who will Fernando Torres be playing for next season?

You may have noticed recently that I haven’t been updating as much as I would like of late. This is down to the fact that I am now writing for Football Q’s, however I promise that the rate of articles on Football Corner will begin to pick up in the coming weeks.
Anyway, you may be [...]

Is Arsene Wenger right – Do teams play harder against Arsenal?

First and foremost, it was an horrendous tackle from Stoke City’s Ryan Shawcross which now leaves Arsenal midfielder, Aaron Ramsey’s career in the balance.
“I’m not very happy with the tackle.” said Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger following his side’s 3-1 victory at the Britannia last night.
“I just want to say we know what we are expecting, [...]

Who Will Lift The Carling Cup?

On Sunday the final of the Carling Cup will see Aston Villa and Manchester United battling for the first major silverware of the season at Wembley. The current holders, Manchester United will be looking at keeping a firm hold on this Cup while Villa will be keen to wrest it away from one of the [...]

Fabio Capello Could Upset The World Cup Odds By Leaving Ashley Cole And John Terry Behind

Fabio Capello has announced he will take into account players’ off the pitch conduct when he makes his World Cup Squad selection and that could beg the question, how many players will the Italian be left with?
We all know many of the English players are not the most clean cut characters and with the English [...]

Perhaps appointing Roberto Mancini was the wrong decision for Manchester City

At the time Manchester City sacked Mark Hughes, I honestly felt the world’s richest club had made a good decision. I mean, what’s the point in keeping a manager who just keeps drawing games, right?
The decision to appoint Roberto Mancini so soon after the departure of Hughes was questionable in my opinion, however after Mancini’s [...]

Three words to sum up Ashley Cole

It’s over. Cheryl and Ashley Cole have split.
About time is what most people are saying, including myself.
Ashley is possibly one of the best left-back’s in the world, however off the field is a different story. I think it’s fair to say he is possibly one of the biggest idiots in the world.
