The Premier League bursts back into action this weekend after the international break with Arsenal sitting pretty at the top of the table on 16 points with Liverpool (second based on their inferior goals scored record) breathing down their necks with the same points and goal difference. The North Londoners have the easier fixture on paper this weekend… Read More »
With the World Cup in Brazil next summer being one of the most hotly anticipated for years, 21 of the 32 teams to play there have already been decided after a spate of qualifying matches in recent days. As well as the hosts Brazil, other notable notions to have booked their tickets to Brazil 2014 include Germany, Italy,… Read More »
In the absence of the Premier League this weekend we turn our attentions to the World Cup with Europe and much of the world reaching what an old, red-faced former manager called “squeaky bum time”.

Four weeks into the campaign and the top of the table already has a familiar look, with the “big” six clubs occupying what they view as their rightful places. With Everton up to ninth after a fine win over Chelsea last weekend it won’t be long before the top seven we expect to see come May have all… Read More »
Do my eyes deceive me? Liverpool are top of the Premier League! Okay, let’s get the honest truth out there first of all: I support Everton. That’s “unbeaten Everton who recently beat Chelsea” by the way. But really? Really?! Liverpool are actually top of the Premier League? I’ve checked with my nurse and she has confirmed it.
