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.. Things have taken a significant turn in the past few months, ...
Among all the clubs in the Premier League, Arsenal is perhaps the only one whose kit colours have stayed constant for the longest time. Ever since the beginning of the seventies, the gunners have stuck to a tried and tested colour palette: a predominantly red jersey with white sleeves, except for the 2007-08 season, when ...
Football is most commonly known by its moniker joga bonito – the beautiful game – for a host of reasons. Chief among them is the sport’s storied history of fantastic playmakers. These players had it all – an exquisite touch, superb vision, a predatory eye for goal and so forth. Their mastery over the leather ...
Manchester United made a shock deadline day move as they opted to acquire the services of Odion Ighalo, on loan from Chinese club Shanghai Greenland Shenhua. The Nigerian international is supposed to be the solution to the Red Devils’ attacking equation as Marcus Rashford is forced to serve a long spell out of action after ...
The Premier League might be head and shoulders beyond every other league in world football, but it cannot be denied that it has fallen behind on one aspect of the sport: the team kits. At first glance, team kits might seem like a trivial facet of football: a novice might assume that it is what ...
Odsonne Edouard- a bit of a late bloomer, to be sure, but this lad can play football, alright. At just twenty two years of age, could Celtic already have, in their hands, the best player in all of the current Scottish Premier League? Motherwell gaffer Stephen Robinson certainly seems to think so, and he should ...
Manchester United are still one of the biggest footballing institutions in the world, agreed. However, their precipitous slide in the latter half of the last decade cannot be dismissed even by the most hard-core of supporters. Especially troubling is United’s utter lack of quality in midfield, with only Pogba possessing semblance of actual footballing ability ...
Throughout all of footballing history, there has never been a truer cliche than this: a picture speaks more than a thousand ruddy words. And boy, have Spurs fans been absolutely gutted by the photo we’re talking about. The picture shows Jan Vertonghen, Tottenham’s talismanic defender, absolutely heartbroken and clutching his shirt while sitting on the ...
Manchester United are in dire need of some firepower upfront. With main forward Marcus Rashford ruled out until April after suffering a double stress fracture to his back and Anthony Martial attracting criticism for his weak performances, United are almost out of options in attack. Although Mason Greenwood has been something of a revelation in ...
Football is made beautiful not just by the men and women on the pitch but also due to the presence of ones on the stands. Fans play an integral role in building an ecstatic atmosphere in the games and add that extra flavour to it. They are the reason why some teams can be rock ...
It’s no secret that the FA is on a crusade when it comes to what it perceives as an abysmal lack of interest from the top tier clubs. Yes, with a gradual decline in viewership of it’s once premier event, the FA Cup, one understands its grouse. However, this ain’t the sixties anymore. Modern football ...
There’s always something up about Arsenal and its supporters, eh? There is, of course, Mr DT, Arsenal Fan TV’s main man himself, who prides himself for being the main reason behind Arsene Wenger’s ignominious exit, but then even he has some modicum of sanity about him. It isn’t like he doesn’t give a few players ...
Andrea Pirlo famously said: “Football is played with the head. Your feet are just tools.” As modern football becomes more and more tactical, the expectations from a player have become immense. With the game, the number ‘9’ position has also evolved. A complete striker in the modern game requires finesse, technique, power, good hold-up play, ...
Arsenal drew their 4th Premier League match in a row as Burnley held the Gunners to a goalless draw at home. The result means Arteta’s side slips down to 10th on the table and leaves the coach with just one win in the Premier League to show for in his first seven league matches in ...
Twitter is a huge platform where a range of opinions can be shared. From news channels to fashion models, from celebrities to common public, there is a great variety to the platform. This, however, is accompanied by a very nagging side of Twitter, trolls, who are omnipresent in various sections of the social media platform. ...
Every beautiful effort might not catch the attention of the onlookers. One such breathtaking moment that most match reports missed was the Liverpool team goal against Southampton last Saturday. It was disallowed as Mohamed Salah, who found the net, was clearly offside. However the Reds sweeped the match by a 4 to 0 margin with ...
The big game on Sunday witnessed a fierce battle between Manchester City, long lost in the title race against Liverpool, and Spurs, who are fighting for a spot in the top four.
