Juande Ramos and his Spurs squad know that the only way to silence the many critics creeping out of the woodwork is to go to the Britannia Stadium on Sunday afternoon and win that particular game of football. It doesn’t have to be pretty; indeed, it’s likely to be a scrap against Stoke City, although […]

Rafa has a large squad at his disposal and as such it would make a great deal of sense for him to consider this deal from this newly promoted Premier League club so that these youngsters could get some much needed playing time in the top tier.

This Anfield flop has managed just four minutes of Premier League action and, if Rafa gets the chance, he would take the money and run. The problem is, would this former Arsenal man leave to join Stoke City?

There may have only been seven matches played this season in the Premier League (six if you’re Manchester United or Fulham), but there are some unlikely names assembling in the bottom half dozen of the table.

The question is, can they and their fellow top-flight […]

Yesterday must have been a pretty weird day for wee Davie Moyes. First Alan Wiley, the myopic ref who made a pig’s ear of the Stoke v Everton game at the weekend, phoned him to admit that he had made a hash of the penalty decision which turned Moyes’ hair an even more irate shade […]

The new initiative made by the FA in the close season seems to be working from what we have seen in the opening four games of the 08/09 season. Referees are no longer being surrounded by a whole team in outrage of a bad decision and managers seem to be content to show more of […]
