Dilly dally Drogba delaying new deal

Football isn’t like it used to be. No, it’s much better!

The Football Association’s ‘respect agenda’ is long overdue. The treatment of referees at every level of the game has been disgraceful for some time and is allegedly getting worse. Just take a second to read this excerpt from an article I read the... Read more »

Not the close season that Sir Alex was hoping for at Manchester United

Frank Lampard - “Felipe Scolari is a liar”

Peter Reid takes over as manager of Thailand. I agree, I don’t really understand either!

It appears that former England international and Sunderland manager, Peter Reid, is to be named as the new manager of Thailand. Just take a second to take in that sentence. This is a truly remarkable fact as I would imagine that Peter Reid is hardly a... Read more »

Albrechtsen, Phillips and Gera will be sorely missed at West Brom

Anyone heard about the latest Italy match fixing scandal?
