European Exits and their effect on the Domestic Front
0November 24, 2012 by Sean Charles
As Manchester City crashed out of the Champions League midweek and Chelsea linger over the brink of their own European campaign, it is interesting to consider the impact these exits may have in the domestic fight.
Manchester City have been in the firing line for a lot of criticism so far this season but remain the only unbeaten team in the league and find themselves in sizzling hot form, winning six out of their last seven league games. A favorable result in the Signal Iduna Park looks difficult and even if City do land in the Europa League, they will treat it as a secondary objective, despite what noise they make on the contrary.

United sign Kagawa. What next for the young boys?
0June 5, 2012 by Chris Hames
The announcement this week that Shiniji Kagawa would be the first summer signing for Sir Alex Ferguson has sparked great excitement amongst the Old Trafford faithful, who throughout last season, pleaded for extra voltage to be added to the old machine. The Japanese attacking midfielder has been a key figure in Dortmund’s last two successful Bundesliga campaigns. However the real question is, with Kagawa only twenty-three, what now for the hopefuls already wearing the shirt in the acclaimed youth academy and reserves?

Ranking The Final 10 Games: Decision Day In The EPL
0May 13, 2012 by Kyle Brod
Two weeks ago, I made my predictions on the three key races going on in the English Premier League. I still stand by them, although there’s one pick that I would probably change if given the opportunity. My predictions were:
-
Manchester City wins the league
-
Arsenal 3rd/Tottenham 4th
-
QPR, Blackburn, and Wolverhampton relegated
This being said, here are the games to watch on Sunday, ranked from ten to one:
10-Blackburn at Chelsea

Where’s the FA while Rovers are being raped, robbed and relegated?
0May 11, 2012 by Andrew Howells
Football agent, Jerome Anderson, is head of the sports management company SEM, which advised Venky’s, Blackburn Rovers owners, on their takeover. Shockingly, Anderson counts among his clients, Blackburn’s current manager, Steve Kean, who was brought in by the Venky’s, along with a number of Anderson-connected players, including the agents own son.
So, with a football agent exerting such power, influence and control over a football club – effectively ruling the roost at Ewood – where are the FA on what is without doubt unethical, improper and rotten abuse that has seen the Pune poultry pushers plague, pillage and pulverize a founding member of our fantastic game it into the ground, in just 18 months.

Player Profile: Iker Muniain
0May 2, 2012 by Leon Guite
Athletic Bilbao have improved immensely game by game under the new leadership of former Argentina and Chile boss Marcelo Bielsa. One of the key players for the Basque side is Iker Muniain, a 19 year old who can play on both wings, up front or as an attacking midfielder. He has great ball control, dribbling ability, pace and creativity which have resulted in him being dubbed the “Spanish Messi”. He is also nicknamed Bart Simpson for his similarity in appearance to the cartoon character and has a drawing of Bart on his shin pads.
