Wayne Rooney: His best England XI ever

Wayne Rooney has retired as an England player, finally bringing an end to the “Golden Age” that led England for a decade. Now, calling it a Golden Age is a little rich seeing as it definitely did not involve itself with any gold, but it was an era that saw England and Rooney line up […]

Don’t hate, appreciate: Rooney calls time on Three Lions career

After beginning the new Premier League campaign for Everton in great form, Wayne Rooney has confirmed his retirement from international football. The 31-year-old scored 53 goals in in 119 games for the Three Lions, but towards the end of his international career, the forward was nowhere near appreciated enough.

Villains not welcome down at the Emirates

Football can often be compared to a Hollywood movie; there’s heroes, there’s underdogs and there is surprises. More importantly, though, there are plenty of villains. Each side in world football has a plethora of villains that fans love to hate and they can come around for a number of reasons, ranging from leaving to joining […]

Combining perfection: United’s Treble winners and Arsenal’s Invincibles

Throughout the history of English football there’s been a few teams that have stood out above the rest, whether that be due to controversial circumstances or because of their outstanding achievements. In this instance, Arsenal and Manchester United fall into the latter category courtesy of their unbelievable accomplishments in the 1998/99 and 2003/04 seasons. The […]

The ‘snake’ XI who didn’t mind committing the ultimate football sin

A snake is easily described in one sentence… “A scamming backstabber. Someone who does something just to get something out of it”. Urban Dictionary Well, that phrase stinks of these footballers, here. To kiss the badge of one club, and then to toss off the badge of another = a traitor. Where’s your loyalty, lads?! […]

The 11 best English players to grace the Premier League

For some reason, English footballers aren’t very highly regarded by our continental counterparts.

Whilst pricey foreign imports have helped to elevate […]

The 15 footballers who would have become club legends if they had stayed

Above anything else, footballers want to be loved and remembered – just ask Cristiano Ronaldo – but of course there’s a desire to win trophies. And there comes a time in any footballers’ career where they have to weigh up what’s more important: adulation or a full cabinet. Some, but not many, have taken the Mark […]

The hard to believe story involving William Gallas, Samir Nasri and a taser

William Gallas will forever represent one of the many ways that Chelsea fucked over Arsenal in pinching the Premier League’s best ever left-back, Ashley Cole, from them. Imagine how much Arsenal could command for Cole in today’s transfer market? Certainly a lot more than £5million and a stroppy French centre-back, that’s for certain. https://twitter.com/K0STAFI/status/693921587658166278 SEE […]

Was Ronaldo drunk when asked who was the hardest defender he faced?

Cristiano Ronaldo has been making defenders look like Sunday League players for years now. It’s therefore somewhat surprising, that the Real Madrid star has called Ashley Cole his hardest ever opponent. Erm, has the Portuguese captain been drinking? If you’re going to come up against CR7, you know what you’re going to get. A strong, fast forward, who […]
