Talk is cheap, although there’s a lot of it at White Hart Lane, which has been a hive of activity this week. No sooner had Robbie Keane flounced off to Liverpool for £20 million, Spurs were reinvesting the lion’s share of their cash on Blackburn winger David Bentley for £15 million. Here’s another player who […]

Paul Robinson is a character in Neighbours who doesn’t seem to be very popular, and his footballing namesake knows how that feels after last season. Dropped by his club and country, it was truly a campaign to forget for the former Leeds goalkeeper, who has gone from hero to zero in a very short space […]

Newcastle supporters have waited around for what seems like an eternity (two years to be exact) for a certain winger to get his game back to where it was when he first arrived.

It might surprise you to hear that out of the three players for which Blackburn have recently received a bid, none of them have been for striker Roque Santa Cruz. Which has got to be a good thing as far as Rovers fans are concerned, although they do have a battle on their hands if […]

Paul Ince might be just about to experience a baptism of fire. The new Blackburn manager has inherited a half-decent squad, although

Robbie Fowler has a two-week trial at Ewood Park - is this a stroke of genius by Paul Ince or is the new Blackburn boss clutching at a whole heap of straws?
