There are a couple of things that I am a bit baffled about when it comes to AVB and his post match press conference, where he had a go at a journalist and Alan Sugar. What baffles me the most is how did he know what Sugar said and why should he care about his opinion. And after why did he find it important to attack Sugar in particular when he is one of many people who had a right to have an opinion about what has been happening with …

There is a podcast called The Tuesday Club to which a lot of arsenal fans subscribe to. Its host, Alan Davis, is known to most as the wirey haired man from Jonathan Creek or more known as the stupid one from QI. Each week Alan and chums discuss all things Arsenal with its usual comic banter an unedited opinion. Like most things run over the coarse of a season or year it always finishes it final podcast with an awards ceremony to which no actual awards are given.
For the past …

During the 2013/14 summer transfer window, Tottenham Hotspur spent a whopping £103,700,000 on 7 ‘vital’ new signings, including some big names. Paulinho, Soldado, Capoue, Eriksen, Lamela, Chiriches all joined Spurs in hope of getting a champions league spot for the 2014/15 season. Gareth Bale was a major factor for Spurs last season, scoring 21 premier league goals and getting 4 assists. This was by far his best ever season and definitely a turning point for both him and Spurs.
Following the sale of Gareth Bale for around £86 million, Spurs signed these …

Tonight Norwich City, sitting on the edge of the relegation zone, take on Liverpool who have had an impressive season so far. With the exception of the match against Hull on Sunday, Liverpool have proved to be a force to be reckoned with this season. In contrast, Norwich have struggled this season, only winning 3 games this season, Southampton, Stoke and Crystal Palace this Saturday.
It is a big difference to Chris Hughton’s spectacular run of 10 unbeaten games this time last year. In fact, only Barcelona had as good …

With the 2014 FIFA World Cup in our sights we’ll take a look at the new FIFA World Cup Ball dubbed the ‘Brazuca’ and go through the history of FIFA World Cup Balls dating back to 1930.
The first ever World Cup Ball was used between Argentina and Uruguay at the 1930 FIFA World Cup and won by the latter in the final where both teams supplied one ball for each half. First made out of 12-piece leather construction the balls weighed about two to three times what they are …

Just from the title, I know pretty much every Arsenal fan is instantly thinking “ridiculous”. So, I would like to clear from the off I am fully aware Santi Cazorla is a world class player and without him last season we probably wouldn’t have achieved top four.
That being said, there are two sides of Cazorla that I see:
1) Arsenal in possession – Cazorla is the typical classy Spanish footballer. Fluid passing and movement with the ability to cut open a defence like butter. His dribbling and close ball control is …

It’s now December and Christmas is fast approaching. Hull City fans are getting into the festive mood earlier than some after a fantastic 3-1 win over Premier League big guns Liverpool, for the first time in a competitive match.
The home side started strong putting a lot of pressure on Liverpool, bossing the midfield and forcing some mistakes from the Red’s defence. Their bright start paid off when, after 20 minutes, Tottenham loanee Jake Livermore’s shot took a deflection off Martin Skrtel and ended up looping past Mignolet and into the …

We are now just over a 1/3 of the season through and its has been a thriller with already 3 sackings, a bag full of goals, Mike Dean phone calls about slack referees and the most open title race in the history of the Premier League all without Sir Alex. Still sure were missing him? Were now in December and this is the time usually where the cream comes to the top and pretenders fall away. While its 8 years without a trophy, it the Gunners who have set the Premiership …

Everton
It was an end of an era when David Moyes left the club this summer, with supporters worried about the club future, weather they could keep up the top half finishes over recent years, and so far they have. Everton season has surpassed expectations with only 1 defeat this season and a win away from 2nd leaves Everton in a better place than hoped for. Roberto Martinez has brought a more attacking style to the Merseyside outfit, with flowing football being played. The additions of Lukaku from Chelsea has …
