Up until now we have had Arsenal fans banging on about how they haven’t spent any money in the transfer window and that the only thing that will deliver success is money.  In week 1 Arsenal crumble to Villa and in week 2 free spending city go down 3-2 to free-spending-but-in-a-different-league Cardiff City. So what […]

So, it didn’t take long. Crystal Palace manager Ian Holloway has been charged with improper conduct by the FA following comments made about match officials after his side’s opening weekend defeat against Tottenham Hotspur. The Eagles boss has found himself in hot water as a result of “his behaviour in or around the match officials’ changing […]

But here we are, Zenit St Petersburg’s largest supporters group have baffled the minds of decent human beings everywhere by writing an open letter to the clubs owners stating […]

City have won nine of their last 11 matches against the Magpies, while Alan Pardew’s side has registered just three […]

For Gameweek 16, it’s worth noting that both Sunderland and Reading will be involved in a double gameweek. Of course, their fixtures aren’t exactly looking easy, particularly given their current league positions and poor form. We’d avoid loading your fantasy side with Mackems and Royals, but then we’d also be careful about ditching any of […]
