Everton vs West Brom, Saturday 15:00 – Only a stunning header from Norwich new boy Ricky van Wolfswinkel denied Everton all three points at Carrow Road last weekend.

It has been a summer of change at the top of the Premier League with new managers in place at the clubs that occupied the top three places in last season’s final standings. David Moyes has taken over the hot seat at Man United, Jose Mourinho has returned to Stamford Bridge and Man City have […]
The inevitable media hype machine surrounding any new Premier League campaign has been suitably fuelled, revved up and is well and truly in motion. As the big kick off imches ever closer, there isn’t a paper you will open, a TV or Radio broadcast you will hear or… um, a blog you will read that […]

A preview of the Arsenal 2013-14 Season. Interesting times at The Emirates. In June we were told by the men who count, that the boss had upwards of £70m to spend. Seemed a slightly odd thing to say at the time, the club letting all and sundry know that they had money and were prepared […]

There is one name Arsenal supporters repeatedly look towards when phrases such as loyalty, strength and determination are banded about and that name is Jack Wilshere.

Former Birmingham City striker Christian Benitez, who was also known as ‘Chucho’, sadly passed away two weeks ago. His countryman, Antonio Valencia, who has given up the #7 shirt at Manchester United to return to the #25 he started his United career with, got a tattoo in memory of Chucho. He posted the picture on […]
For the past one hundred summers (or thereabouts), the transfer window for United fans has played out like a clever analogy for unparalleled frustration; with nothing remotely central-midfieldy to celebrate. But for a club who supposedly don’t have, haven’t had, or even seemingly got all that close to buying, any one of the best central […]
Footballers don’t see the world as fans do. They aren’t stuck with one club for all eternity; they can leave when a better offer comes along. The defence of the mercenary footballer has always been that it’s a short career, but this has become a moot point when the Premier League offers such grotesque salaries: […]
