Three reasons why Guardiola should take his sabbatical at Old Trafford
7May 3, 2012 by Andrew Howells
Well respected football writer, Oliver Holt, believes that Josep ‘Pep’ Guardiola has stuck faithfully to a philosophy of playing beautiful football at Barcelona. Pep stands for something more than triumph or failure, and because of this, is wanted by every football club in the world.
I disagree, and in my opinion, Guardiola still has a lot to learn to be a legitimately world-class leader. So let’s examine the reasons why Pep should spend his sabbatical season, if he does take one, under the strong stewardship of the sublime Sir Fergie.
Reason one: the three year cycle

Why I think Roy Hodgson was the right choice for England
0May 1, 2012 by David Bolt
Since Fabio Capello resigned in February, England have been searching for a new manager. It was widely assumed by pretty much everybody that Harry Redknapp was a lock for the job, but today, West Brom manager Roy Hodgson was announced as the England manager, officially taking over after the Premier League season finishes on May 13th. I think that, for once, the FA have got this decision absolutely right, and the Hodgson is a far better option for England than Harry Redknapp would have been.

Can Villa save themselves from relegation?
0April 30, 2012 by David Bolt
Every season there seems to be one team who manages to hit a terrible patch of form at exactly the wrong time and finds themselves dragged into the relegation battle. Sadly, that team this season seems to be Aston Villa. Villa have been mired in a dreadful run of form in the past few months and Tuesday night’s defeat to Bolton and yesterday’s draw at West Brom sees them only 3 points above Bolton, who occupy the last place in the relegation zone, but Bolton have a game in hand.

Tottenham’s Fall From Grace: Where Harry Went Wrong
0April 28, 2012 by Jake Nuttie
After a poor start to the season, losses to both Manchester teams in the first two games, Tottenham were able to get their season back on track, and up until the end of February it looked like a very promising season for Tottenham, despite elimination from the Europa league. After thumping Newcastle 5-0 at home, it has been very much downhill from there. At the Christmas stage of the season most people had predicted that Tottenham had that third premier league place nailed on and would surely remain in the top four come the end of the season. But how does a team go from looking certain to achieving a third place finish and a genuine chance at an F.A. Cup final to finishing the season with only a Europa League place. Winning the F.A. Cup along with a champions league finish would be an ideal season for Redknapp and Tottenham and would be the perfect reward for all of Redknapp’s hard work since arriving at White Hart Lane. Here is a look at some of the things that has hindered Tottenham’s performance of late.
