Two of United’s youngsters, who previously were thought to be staying at Old Trafford this season, look set to head out on loan after all. Tom Cleverley, who impressed on loan at Watford in the Championship last season, has moved to Wigan for the rest of the season, in order to gain some Premiership experience. Cleverley was expected to go out on loan initially, but then seemed as though he would …
Coming to a stadium near you?
Sceptics might say that two games into the season is far too early for a feature such as this; that regardless of how teams have fared so far, it is simply not enough matches to deduce how they are going to get on this season. To which I would reply … I wholeheartedly agree, but what with the revolving door policy of modern football management, I …
Chelsea picked up where they left off last season with an impressive goal fest against West Brom. Judging from this performance they look like the same well oiled and ruthless goal scoring machine that won the Premier League last season.
Chelsea’s demolition of West Brom served as a statement of intent for the season in that they are fully determined to continue and improve upon the successes of last season. The performance provided …

The time is upon us. This summer hasn’t been as painfully devoid of football as most, but the World Cup doesn’t quite satisfy the appetite for club football. So here are my opening day predictions. Tell me I’m wrong. I dare you.
West Ham were the last Championship play-off winners to survive the drop, when they finished 9th in the 2005-06 …
Who will be lifting the trophy come May?
The new Premier League season kicks off tomorrow, so Joe Redmond takes a look at the 2010-11 season ahead and puts his neck on the line.
Arsenal
So much lovely football, so little success. Arsenal are often praised for making the beautiful game just that – beautiful – but the club are heading into their 6th season without a …

SHEFFIELD WEDNESDAY 3-4 TOTTENHAM (1994)
In 1994, Tottenham were well and truly in the mire with the FA over financial irregularities. Although they had a 12-point deduction and FA Cup ban overturned, many feared that the off field troubles would give way to a season of woe. Tottenham, with new signing Jurgen Klinsmann, would have a safe and quiet season with a run to the FA Cup semi final, but …
It may seem a little sadistic to be making predictions about who the first manager to be sacked will be in the Premiership before the season has even got underway, but that’s the cutthroat nature of the business these days. So here goes!
Chris Hughton (bookies odds: 4/1)
Hughton did a fantastic job getting Newcastle back in the Premiership so swiftly considering he is much more used to having a supporting role in …
Siphiwe Tshabalala swiftly etched his name into the World Cup narrative this summer and in the last few weeks his names been ‘popping up’ again in relation to a prospective transfer, with Paris Saint-Germain, Steaua Bucharest, Sivasspor, Wigan, Birmingham, and Man United mooted thus far.
But, hey maaaaaan, what kind of ghastly parasite are you? You can’t just reduce him to that goal; he existed before the World Cup, he subsists …
Sunderland have signed Titus Bramble from Wigan in a deal worth around £1million. Formerly of ‘Newcastle flop’ fame, it seems a slightly strange move; but is he a worthy signing or a worthy proprietor of the ‘flop’ label?
Certainly, Bramble has long lived with ‘Titus Shamble’ style tags thrust around his stout neck. Much of this is clearly owing to his time on Tyneside.
Bramble signed for Newcastle from Ipswich for £5million in …
Wigan’s 24-year-old striker Hugo Rodallega looks unlikely to be plying his trade at the DW Stadium next season. At the risk of upsetting Wigan fans, the bright lights of Aston Villa or maybe even Arsenal now beckon for the Columbian international following nearly two years of using the Latics as a means of establishing himself in the Premiership.
Rodallega scored 10 goals in the top flight last season drawing the attention of …
Escapini, LOL! Point taken! Got a little carried away (removing bug from ze a**)! Craig, mate, no offense!
