He had a tremendous, work ethic and strength, and combined that with excellent touch and dribbling ability. Those skills meant that he contributed to Roma’s Scudetto win in 2001, and was a wonderful foil for Batistuta, Montella and Totti. I...

Didn’t Arsenal spend longer in top spot during the 2013/2014 season than anyone else, despite finishing 4th? Conceding 17 goals away to the 3 teams that finished above them didn’t help, and neither did only picking up 1 point against Moyes’ Utd...

Burnley only having 14 points after 28 games, is far more surprising to me (admittedly I’m biased against them), than Sheffield Utd having done so. If we look at teams during the Premier League era that ‘stormed’ the First Division /...

I think the nature of their free fall this season, not just losing week after week but getting battered so often, plus the turmoil behind the scenes with the ownership situation, is a recipe for disaster and will mean that they’ll struggle to...

Wasn’t 2001/2002 a bit of a 3 horse race between Arsenal, Liverpool and Utd (the only time that Liverpool finished above Utd in the league between 1990/1991 and 2013/2014). Arsenal ended that season with 13 straight wins though, so they looked...

The fact that 4 of Derby’s 11 points came against Newcastle was funny. When we were a Premier League team (which feels like an eternity ago now and there’s a good chance we’ll be relegated to League One for a second time), the only time I was...

Agreed. His move to becoming more and more socially conservative in recent years, was clearly a deliberate move to further enhance his bank balance and profile. There is clearly, sadly IMO, a sizeable number of people out there who are at least...

Galloway is being described as a left-wing Farage, left-wing firebrand etc. However is he actually left wing these days? I seem to recall that he actually said a few years ago that he no longer considered himself to be left-wing (the key part...

I’m proud of how we played yesterday, with us clearly the better team for long spells, and to be honest am not too disappointed about losing on penalties. What is more frustrating, is putting in a performance like that in a cup game (admittedly...

Agreed. I don’t rate him at all. I honestly think that he is able to ‘trick’ so many listeners into thinking that he is clued up and has tremendous insight, purely because he speaks ‘posh’ / eloquently and throws in fancy words here and there...

I think that Neville isn't a particularly good commentator or pundit, but is great in the relaxed 'Stick to Football' banter and 'Overlap' interview settings. It's funny that Simon Jordan really seems to be irritated by him though. Jordan...

Pochettino deserves all the criticism that he has received, for the fact that Chelsea eased off, sat back, and played on the counter-attack in extra-time. He basically admitted that they had settled for penalties, and it was clear from their...

The Tories focusing on culture wars and stoking divisions, seems to be failing and back-firing. It's only shining a light on their own record re immigration, and their huge failure to come close to meeting their own repeated, cast-iron pledges...

Definitely. When it’s a ‘meh’ or even disappointing option in Labour vs. downright dangerous, institutionally corrupt, morally bankrupt and completely incompetent option in the Tories, it's a no-brainer for me. As an absolute worse case scenario...

That made me laugh :D . Thankfully for them, the expired statute of limitations came to their rescue. Saying that they were basically robbed of the 1998 Scudetto, with Moggi hard at work and pulling the strings.
