The dust has started to settle after ADUG’s takeover of Manchester City and, although Ryan Giggs has claimed that Manchester United are still the biggest club by some way, others have admitted that the Eastlands outfit could be a force to be reckoned with - even this season!

Especially one who allegedly ‘needs counselling’ according to a certain footballing legend! It had appeared that Chelsea would sign Robinho earlier this week, especially after Peter Kenyon had made several trips to Madrid in an attempt to lure the Brazilian to Stamford Bridge in the manner of the pied piper. To no avail in the […]

Four days ago, Mark Hughes was playing golf while the club’s new owners were trying to bring a Hollywood player to Eastlands. The Abu Dhabi investment group succeeded in their aim, bringing in Robinho for £32.5 million, a statement of intent if ever there was one.

It appears as though Manchester City fans may also be directed with some of this banter, as the club set about trying to transform themselves from middle-of-the-road Premier League outfit to […]

It’s been a slow start for the Reds, who might consider themselves lucky to still be in the Champions League and to have seven points from three games in the Premier League. Liverpool have been devoid of ideas going forward, with the team failing to create too many chances for the likes of Torres, Keane […]
