For Manchester United, this Christmas period is pretty much interesting, unlike the last few years. The shocking and undeniable fact of being knocked out of the champions league is less painful, considering the backstage drama that is ongoing at old Trafford. With Pogba’s transfer request and Ole’s questionable decisions surrounding the club, Christmas is packed […]
By all standards, the first sets of fixtures from the new Premier League season have been pretty strange.

But […]

Every now and then in the world of football, there comes along a player who just doesn’t strike you as being all that nice. Sometimes you sense they just don’t care about the club, other times it feels like they are only there to pick up a pay cheque. Sometimes it’s a great player, but […]
With the champions of the Premier League being fairly easy to predict given Manchester City’s vast superiority so far this season, it is at the bottom of the table where things are much more unpredictable.
