Newcastle seem to be having an absolutely strange season so far. Somehow, the club are at a respectable thirteenth position, just ten points off fourth placed Tottenham, despite having a string of lackluster performances on the pitch. Many have simply interpreted other teams also underperforming horrendously as the reason for the club being so high …
One of the most talked about signings from the January transfer window has to be Orion Ighalo. The Nigerian forward was snapped up by the Red Devils late into deadline day, as United finally acquired what they were looking for- a makeshift replacement for the injured Marcus Rashford. Now, while there has been a lot …
After their Champions League victory last year, Liverpool have become near impenetrable, not having lost a single game throughout all of this season. This has allowed them to open a commanding twenty five point lead over nearest rivals Manchester City, with it being a certainty that the title is theirs for the taking. With nothing …
Tottenham have had, by their own standards, a very sluggish season. Their campaign has been mired with false starts and encouraging wins that have only served as false dawns and failed to get the momentum going. This led to them being in the unfamiliar land that is the middle of the table, and ultimately became …
Nothing best describes Newcastle as much as the word paradox. The club has, throughout all of the last decade and a half, taken a tremendous fall from grace as it is no longer the behemoth it once used to be. Yet, it still enjoys unprecedented levels of support from the Toon, and is very much …
Steven Gerrard is, without a doubt, one of the greatest players of his generation. He is an automatic lock on the list of Liverpool legends, and is still regarded as one of the greatest captains of all time. Stevie G, as he is fondly known among the Anfield faithful, had a career at the club …
Amidst all the hustle and bustle that footballers are regularly embroiled in, fans find it very easy to forget that their favourite players can have other hobbies as well. Take Everton, for example. The club has had a very mediocre season thus far, only collecting thirty six points from twenty five league games so far. …
The Bilbao International Football Summit (BIFS) is an annual gathering of footballing talents and executives from the Basque region. It acts as a showcase for Athletic Bilbao’s ever present philosophy (the club is known to only have Basque players on its teams).

The most underrated aspect of sport, perhaps, lies in how it brings together folks from around the world, irrespective of their nationality amd creed.

Former striker and a Gooner through & through, Ian Wright could do nothing but admire as the Arsenal legend attended an event at Spurs’ brand spanking new stadium yesterday. Appearing on behalf of Football Beyond Borders, an educational charity for underprivileged youth, Wright took some time interacting with budding footballers before taking a look around …
Among the more memorable moments of last year from the world of football, one that stands out was Ajax’s dominant run Europe’s biggest stage, the Champions League. A bright team comprised of starlets destined for greatness like Matthijs de Ligt, Frenkie de Jong and Donny van de Beek helped the Dutch side storm into the …
Arsenal have come a long way from the days of the Invincibles, when a combination of sporting talent, solid work ethic and masterful managerial strategy from Arsene Wenger produced an absolutely stunning season where they went completely unbeaten back in 2003-04. Studded with absolute gems like Bergkamp and Henry up front, Robert Pires and Freddie …
If there is one lasting legacy still remaining from Arsene Wenger’s time at Arsenal, apart from his stingy ways in acquiring players for the club, is the amount of emphasis he put on his wards’ off-field regimen. Yes, there were full time coaching staff and trainers that took care of players long before his reign, …
Liverpool seems to be the name on everyone’s lips lately, with the club going on an incredible twenty five matches unbeaten in the Premier League this season. One of the main reasons for this, apart from possessing a defence that just refuses to budge, is a lethal, almost otherworldly front trio comprised of Mo Salah, …
Leeds United don’t have much to look forward to these days, apparently. This once great club, its storied legacy chock full of icons like Billy Bremner, Jack Charlton and Eddie Gray, have now taken quite a drop in stature. The club, once a regular in the top flight and famous for having been a ruthless …
It is not exactly a secret that Manchester United are going through a bit of an injury crisis currently. It’s a shame, to say the least, to see this once massive footballing institution reduced to being pegged back by a few injury concerns, but that’s just the status quo at the club now. The team’s …
Could a Jack Grealish – Arsenal link up be within the realms of possibility? Fans of both the Gunners and the Aston Villa talisman certainly seem to think so, with their hushed whispers and fervent prayers only growing louder as the season has progressed..
