Terry should never have regained armband [Yahoo! Eurosport: February 3, 2012, 10:54 am]
I think Patrice Evra has the character to deal with whatever is thrown at him when Manchester United visit Liverpool in the FA Cup on Saturday and I don't think he will let any abuse from the stands affect him. … Continue reading →

Take De Gea out of the limelight [Yahoo! Eurosport: January 30, 2012, 6:01 am]
It is such a shame that Mario Balotelli's apparent stamp on Scott Parker has overshadowed what was an exciting 3-2 win for Manchester City over Tottenham on Sunday. One of the biggest matches in the Premier League this season — … Continue reading →

Balotelli must be punished severely [Yahoo! Eurosport: January 23, 2012, 6:15 am]
After Arsenal's 3-2 defeat at Swansea on Sunday, Thierry Henry took issue with one travelling supporter's criticism of his team. I don't know what it was the fan said to Henry, but assuming it was nothing abusive or unreasonable then … Continue reading →

AVB’s B team plan is a disgrace [Yahoo! Eurosport: January 20, 2012, 10:57 am]
Manchester City have hit a period of patchy form recently and Roberto Mancini is not helping the situation by publicly moaning all the time. He is surpassing even Arsene Wenger in the whingeing stakes at present. Firstly he was complaining … Continue reading →

Moaning Mancini doing no good [Yahoo! Eurosport: January 13, 2012, 11:11 am]
It's a bit much to call Manchester United a club in crisis, but such are their standards that two defeats in a row will lead to such talk. It is nearly three years since they lost three games in a … Continue reading →

Scholes legacy in jeopardy [Yahoo! Eurosport: January 9, 2012, 5:55 am]

Time for United to man up [Yahoo! Eurosport: January 6, 2012, 10:31 am]

Arsenal’s move for Henry foolhardy [Yahoo! Eurosport: December 30, 2011, 10:55 am]

Title still City’s to lose [Yahoo! Eurosport: December 27, 2011, 6:40 am]

Europa League no longer poor relation [Yahoo! Eurosport: December 16, 2011, 11:35 am]
I've got to be honest - I've no real interest in the MLS Cup at all. And as for David Beckham getting to the final? I can't think there'll be too many people bothered about that. It's not on the same level as the Premier League title, La Liga or Ser Continue reading →

I know Sir Alex Ferguson sometimes says that January isn't the ideal time to go out and locate value in the market but plenty of clubs have made use of the winter window in the past. ...
