Liverpool maintained their excellent record against Bolton on Saturday, making it 10 wins from the last 11 fixtures.  Thankfully the Reds were intent on making sure that there was no repeat of the Sunderland draw. In my preview of the game; I highlighted three areas which I believed were crucial if Liverpool were to take [...]

It started off as a nervy 30 minutes at St James’ Park, as we struggled to maintain possession after a good start from Fulham. A good end to the half put us in good stead for the second half, as a double from Leon Best was enough to fend off a late comeback from Fulham, [...]

I didn’t manage to go to Liverpool game at Anfield as it was the brothers wedding so I did next best thing, sneaked out an watch it on TV. Wasn’t really worth it from Bolton point of view. A very lacklustre performance which had little hints of that game against stoke that we don’t like to mention. [...]

It’s nearly deadline day, and what does that mean? Last minute panic buys from mid table clubs, and selling your best player with no time to spend the money of course. Stoke have done some good business this summer, with Jonathan Woodgate and Matthew Upson both coming in to improve on an already very solid [...]

It has been another controversial week at QPR. Neil Warnock suggested that the Carling Cup is of no interest to Premier League clubs. This comment after a despicably poor performance against League One’s Rochdale angered fans who had paid £15 to watch; in hindsight a game Warnock never intended to win. The mood of the [...]

Arsene Wenger has prided himself on bringing the best out of young, underachieving players for as long as he’s been in charge at Arsenal. The likes of  Nicholas Anelka, Cesc Fabregas and Jack Wilshere have emerged under his stewardship, whilst he also got the best out of the previously promising Dennie Bergkamp, Patrick Vieira and [...]

An astonishing weekend of EPL football, full of chaos, controversy and a couple of freak score lines. Some interesting stats and quite interesting to see how some of the teams developing. So onto my EPL review; the last game of the weekend was quite clearly the strangest game. In the last 30 minutes it bordered on ridiculous, reflected in the scoreline. [...]

Heading in to week 4 after a nearly perfect start that includes the emergence of Edin Dzeko as the EPL’s top scorer, stellar pick-ups of goal scorer Sergio Aguero and former Gunner Samir Nasri, and a dominant and cohesive midfield, City faces a Wigan side that has yet to lose this season. City’s start to [...]

Blackburn Rovers 0-1 Everton, 27 August 2011 Mikel Arteta’s last gasp goal secured all three points for Everton at Ewood Park this weekend. That this came from the spot after Blackburn Rovers had failed to convert two penalties of their own earlier in the afternoon merely added insult to injury. Injury is a word Blackburn [...]

With the unfortunate injury to Alan Tate, Swansea City look slightly exposed at full back with only two experienced players in the squad. Steven Caulker is able to deputise but with the England under 21 making such an impressive start to the season, Brendan Rodgers will be reluctant to break the partnership he has formed [...]
