Over the past few months, without real explanation, my personal levels of enthusiasm for the beautiful game has somewhat waned. It’s surprising, considering that 2012 was such a good year for my club West Ham. Winning the championship play off final at Wembley and then doing reasonably well in the Premier League, you’d think that [...]
Ok, you may well be a Manchester United fan. If not, chances are, you hate Sir Alex Ferguson’s Red Devils. But even the most die hard City or Liverpool supporter would have to agree that Robin Van Persie’s last gasp equaliser against West Ham this evening was just phenomenal.

We’d avoid loading your fantasy side with Mackems and Royals, but then we’d also be careful about ditching any of [...]
A few of our recommended changes from Gamweek 14 were thrown out there with one eye on this weekend’s fixtures.

The Champions League, that theme tune, we all love it. My main gripe with the Champions League as it stands is that it is not in fact made up of Champions. 4th Place in the Prem? What is that a champion of? A champion of being “not good enough to challenge for the title”. So [...]
