Wolves Vs Liverpool | Opta Stats Preview

Written by    on  January 31, 2012

Last year the Wolves Vs Liverpool fixture saw Fernando Torres score his last goals in a Liverpool shirt. Little did he know that he’d score more for Liverpool FC in 2011 (in just a few appearances) than he did for Chelsea in the same year. Wolves lost this home game last year 0-3 and currently [...]

Modric and Silva | Mercurial Midfielders

Written by    on  January 28, 2012

When Daniel Levy stood firm and said in no uncertain terms that Luka Modric would not be sold to Chelsea, a lot was made of how he would perform for Tottenham. Would a want away player give his all for a club that he seemed so desperately to want to leave? Thankfully, the mercurial Modric [...]
