2008-09-07T09:12:53+00:00

Zzzzzz... So have you ever seen such a boring period of absolutely no football? Well, I know the answer to that is yes; all international breaks are like that. But when we went through a nerve wracking 24-hour period as the transfer window shut, any period of no club football would seem terribly empty.

2008-09-06T11:00:13+00:00

Wayne Rooney has been accused of many things, the latest of which, "arrogant". Andorra midfield, Oscar Sonejee, obviously wants to make a name for himself.

Should Premiership teams be allowed to field their reserve sides in the lower divisions?

2008-09-05T22:31:00+00:00

The takeover of Manchester City by the Abu Dhabi United Group has sparked fears that their thriving academy may suffer and inevitably it will be much more difficult for the next generation of footballers to break into the first-team. The question being asked is can a more effective method of bridging the gap between the reserves and the first team be developed?

2008-09-05T19:20:20+00:00

Wayne Rooney has been accused of being arrogant and warned he faces another test of his fragile temperament when he leads England's attack against Andorra.

Evra: I Did What I Had To For Heinze’s Place

2008-09-05T17:01:44+00:00

It's hard to think back to the time when Gabriel Heinze was a greatly loved member of our squad. He was a ferocious player who never shied away from tackles and loved to get stuck in. "ARGENTINA!" was the chant that would go around Old Trafford every time he put the ball, and the man, [...]

Are The FA Having A Laugh? Rio vs Barton

2008-09-05T16:04:25+00:00

I am no stranger to starting rants targeted at the FA, for what I find to be increasingly unacceptable behaviour and rulings. They are bloody clueless and seem to delight on really digging the knife in to our club and players. They have been guilty countless times of punishing one player a certain way, yet when [.

Fergie: We’ll See Off City… Just Like We Did Arsenal and Chelsea

With Rene Meulensteen taking on the new role as First Team Coach, filling the shoes of Mike Phelan who was promoted to Assistant Manager, he believes Sir Alex Ferguson has made the right decision in trusting in stability and continuity when appointing the two men.

Tottenham Boss Praise For Campbell

2008-09-05T11:00:14+00:00

Following months of speculation, Dimitar Berbatov finally joined Manchester United, with our young striker, Frazier Campbell, begrudgingly going in the opposite direction.

Everton’s New Signing: The Incredible £15m Unibrow

2008-09-05T11:00:09+00:00

Even at Standard de Liege, Marouane Fellaini was probably making some decent scratch. Like enough to have that thing between his eyes taken care of professionally. Now that he's hit the limelight as Everton's record signing and the most expensive Belgian ever, he may want to bump it up the list. At least give it [.

Football makes ‘Sweet Dreams’ come true

2008-09-05T10:35:19+00:00

You know what really stood out about the recently closed transfer window? Not the brinksmanship, the complaints about tapping up, or even the idea of billion-dollar teams squabbling over a couple million pounds.

Shopping List

2008-09-05T08:15:00+00:00

If press reports are to be believed, we could be on the brink of a new era in football spending that will make Abramovich's Chelsea look positively frugal. I am of course referring to the takeover of Manchester City on Monday by an Arab consortium estimated to be worth around £650billion.

Manchester City managing director Garry Cook has warned the Premier League that the Blues' new owners are thinking 'large scale' - and that could include a bid for Manchester United star Cristiano Ronaldo.
