The football blog for fans of all clubs
Gary Cahill has heaped praise on his Chelsea team-mates after the Blues made Jose Mourinho’s homecoming as Manchester United manager one to forget for the self-proclaimed Special One. Antonio Conte’s men trounced an abject United 4-0 in a one-sided Premier League affair at Stamford Bridge, with the victory and points edging Chelsea above Tottenham into […]
Ahead of tonight’s Champions League round of 16 game between Real Madrid and Manchester United, Phil Kitromilides, presenter and commentator at Real Madrid TV, squares up to Scott from The Republik of Mancunia. What’s your form like ahead of the big game? Phil: Madrid’s form is relative. Overall it has not been great, but we […]
Following Manchester United’s 2-1 win on Sunday, one Liverpool fan didn’t take the result too well, and resorted to getting ‘Munich 58’ tattooed on his backside.

Ajax, knowing that English fans would certainly sell out the away end, charged […]

It’s every football fan’s dream to witness their club captain lift the European Cup to a roar of euphoric applause; but to make that dream a reality (as well as a talented squad of players), you’ll need to have a spare £6,358 lying around. Research from hotel.info has revealed the true cost of Champions League […]
