After his latest sensational double strike against Portsmouth, the question has got to be asked. Is Cristiano Ronaldo now a better player than the legendary George Best? I’m not a Manchester United fan…but I do appreciate football genius. And there’s ...
I’m neither an Arsenal or Tottenham fan (in fact, nothing gives me more pleasure than to see London clubs humbled by anyone from the north). But I’ve had a bellyful of the sour grapes pouring out of the Emirates since last week’s Carling Cup ...
After watching Manchester City slaughtered 0-0 by Liverpool this afternoon, I’m starting to think that as a contest, the Premier League is a dodo. Yes, it’s extinct as a contest. Instead, we now have a four-team competition involving a quartet of mega- ...
