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.

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, …
Dynamic positional play, breathtaking counter-attacks and ruthless finishing have been the standard of Liverpool’s deadly attack. Jurgen Klopp expects nothing less than workmen like displays from his team, week in and week out. With the lightning-quick attack consisting of Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane, a sturdy midfield and a rock-solid defence, this Liverpool side already …
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 …
The resurgence of the Milan clubs has breathed new life into the Derby della Madonnina.

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 …
Ever had a low-quality stream, your team scores and you aren’t able to identify who did? We have all been there as football fans. Although, when it comes to officiating, cases of mistaken identity are few and far between in football. One of the rare instances of mistaken identity involved the infamous sending off of …
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.

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.

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.
