Well Done Wayne Bridge

Fair play to Wayne Bridge. In yesterday’s Chelsea vs Manchester City game at Stamford Bridge, Wayne Bridge refused to shake former friend and team mate John Terry’s hand – and so he should have.
With every pair of eyes in the stadium and indeed those watching around the world glued to the pre-match handshake, Bridge expectedly [...]

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 [...]

Craig Bellamy & Roberto Mancini – It was never going to last

It was a bit of a shock to me to wake up and see this morning’s headlines regarding the alleged bust-up between Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini and striker Craig Bellamy, however I must admit, I wasn’t at all surprised.
Even the dogs on the street know what Bellamy is like. The Welshman is someone who [...]

A 3-game ban for Patrick Vieira would be good news for Manchester City

There were a few raised eye-brows when Manchester City signed Inter Milan midfielder Patrick Vieira back at the beginning of January.
A club who already has a wealth of talented midfielders amongst their ranks, bringing a 33-year old has-been back to the Premier League was quite a bizarre decision in my book.
Since arriving at Eastlands on [...]

Liverpool will finish 4th

After over a week of voting you, the readers, decided that Liverpool will finish 4th in the Premier League this season.
Rather expectedly, the poll, which asked who would finish 4th this season, turned into a two-horse race between Rafa Benitez’ men and Manchester City. Liverpool received 47% of the vote, whilst City received 44% with [...]

There are only 12 games remaining (for the majority of clubs) in the Premier League and to say the run-in will be interesting is a massive understatement.
Today we focus on the battles towards the top of the Premier League table, particularly the race for the title and the race for that final Champions League spot.

So who wants Stephen Ireland? Arsenal? Chelsea? Liverpool? Man United? Spurs? Villa?

Over the past four or five years, Stephen Ireland has, without a doubt, become one of the finest midfield talents in the Premier League.
The 23-year old played so well last season, he was nominated for the PFA’s Young Player of the Year award.
Despite not winning the award, Ireland was voted Manchester City’s Player of the [...]

Shay Given is not a good goalkeeper

Ask 100 football fans to name their top 3 Premier League goalkeepers and chances are, at least 95% of those fans will include Manchester City keeper Shay Given in their top 3.
One man who certainly wouldn’t include Given in his top 3 is the Guardian’s Barry Glendenning. Anyone who listens to the Guardian Football Podcast [...]

Liverpool the big winners in the race for 4th spot

The perfect day for Liverpool.
Rafa Benitez’ men had to fight incredibly hard to pick up all three points at home to rivals Everton this afternoon. Dirk Kuyt scored the only goal at Anfield today to earn 10-man Liverpool a crucial victory in the race for 4th spot.
I must admit and I’m sure you know, I [...]

Three words to sum up Robinho’s time at Manchester City

I’m sure you have probably heard by now that Manchester City’s Robinho has today joined Santos on a six-month loan deal.
The Brazilian striker has struggled to nail down a first team place at Eastlands this season and recently admitted he would love to rejoin his hometown club Santos.
Robinho, 25, has got his wish and will [...]
