At last! We are now officially in the same month as the start of the new Premier League season.
It may have seemed like a long time coming but, in fact, it has only been three months during which time some clubs have spent a fortune, others not so much and some nothing at all.
Friendly games have been played around the globe to ensure that the wider audience got to see their heroes, warts and all, by attending games in places as diverse as Tanzania, America, China and Norway. (more…)
Firstly, we apologise to fans of Tottenham Hotspur, Liverpool, Arsenal and even Everton.
Much as we admire the optimism of the supporters of these clubs we have to think that it is misguided.
With the exception of Arsenal, the other clubs which made up last season’s top seven will be expecting a more successful campaign next time out. Arsenal will just be hoping for one, without any real conviction.
However, judging by recent transfer market activity, only Chelsea, City and United have already improved or will significantly improve their squads and, in Chelsea’s case, not much improvement is necessary. (more…)
A quarter-ish way through the season and things are, unfortunately for some, beginning to take shape.
Draws at home did not help the cause of either Manchester United or Tottenham Hotspur.
United should have beaten Burnley by three or four goals but their failure in front of goal may yet prove that Zlatan Ibrahimović was not the signing which should have been prioritised during the recent transfer window. (more…)
WHY SAY ANYTHING?
