Sometimes a footballer returns to his former club and gets a rapturous round of applause, take Peter Crouch at Anfield on Wednesday night. The supporters can be understanding if the player has wanted to leave due to a lack of first-team football, especially if he gave his all for the team when he was there. […]

The Blues are unbeaten at Stamford Bridge in 84 games, and it’s looking as though number 85 is just around the corner. In order to stand a chance of beating Chelsea, surely you need a match winner or two in the team, something that Liverpool are struggling with ahead of Sunday’s match.

The final score between Atletico Madrid and Liverpool was 1-1, but that doesn’t tell the whole story at all. Liverpool dominated in Madrid, and had a number of chances to win it, most noticeably when Robbie Keane fluffed a simple chance by trying to do a fancy backheel; something that was pounced on by the […]

They say that people in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones, which essentially means that it’s best not to make hypocritical statements all the time. Sir Alex Ferguson was in the news at the start of the season, hinting that Chelsea’s squad were a bit long in the tooth to go winning Premier League titles, despite […]

Tottenham end the summer considerably richer from a financial point-of-view, yet poorer in the sense that no trace of last season’s prolific strike-pairing exists at White Hart Lane.

Indeed, Daniel Levy gives his opposite number at Chelsea a run for his money when it comes to being charmless, and he’s come in for some flak from […]

Spurs are set to spend big once again this summer by signing Roman Pavlyuchenko from Spartak Moscow. Anyone who saw the Russian play during Euro 2008 must surely have been impressed by the way that he took his three goals (especially the opener against Holland), although it’s asking a lot for the striker to make […]

The bookmakers aren’t expecting the Reds to win any silverware next season, despite the big-money acquisition of Robbie Keane, and with Gareth Barry likely (but not certain!) to follow. Liverpool are fourth-favourites to win the Premier League, although that appears to be the main ambition of a certain Spanish striker who wears the number nine […]

The Guardian today brings us news of two big reasons why Arsenal can win the title this season.

There’s nothing like positive thinking ahead of the new season. Last season’s player of the year might have scooted off to Liverpool, while his strike partner has his agent working overtime to get him a move away from White Hart Lane. However, there are plenty of reasons to be cheerful according to Spurs’ 22-year-old midfield […]
