We’re only two games into the new Premier League season and I’m already wondering how many points United will win it by. I’m not a Manchester United fan, but I’ll admit that last Friday evening, I felt quite giddy at the thought of watching them take on Southampton. The Reds have been completely transformed this season – […]

Fantasy Football – GW1
We’re trying to keep calm, but are really struggling. Fantasy football returns tomorrow!! Three long months have passed and as with every year, players seem far more expensive this season. This seasons goal is to beat last years position of 33,870. GAMEWEEK 1 This seasons strategy may very well be to Wildcard after GW3, when there’s […]
Is this going to be the most open Premier League ever?
I’m not sure we’ll see a English Premier League season like 2015/2016 for many years, but this season may be the most open… After last season’s madness, it isn’t surprising that the managerial merry-go-round has been in full swing. With Manchester United finishing fifth, and 15 points off top spot, LvG was given the boot and replaced by Jose Mourinho. […]
Is money ruining football derbies?
Last week I noticed that Liverpool are travelling to Old Trafford on Saturday to face their old rivals Manchester United, and I found myself not feeling the usual excitement. Is that feeling because of money? I couldn’t understand why I wasn’t terribly excited about the upcoming derby. I mean, between them, they have 86 major honours, […]
The opening matches of the premier league: what we’ve learnt so far
What a crazy start to the English Premier League football season! We all thought we had a good idea of what results the opening fixtures would produce. The opening day saw Manchester United and Manchester City claim maximum points, but to everyone’s shock, neither Arsenal nor Chelsea could claim victory. The gunners lost 2-0 to their London rivals, […]
English Premier League Preview
For many of us, the three toughest months of the year are June, July and August. When you think about winter, words like “dull”, “depressing” “cold” and “dark” come to mind. But sportsfans know it’s not winter’s fault: it’s the fact that there’s no English Premier League football on our screens. The off-season falls between the end of May and the middle of August […]
2015/2016 could be Arsenal’s season
When the thought of Arsenal doing well this coming season entered my head, I tried to get it out quicker than it came in – but alas, it seems to be sticking around, and if they land Benzema, there’s no reason they can’t win the league. Because I’m South African, and not a north London yob, […]
Pep Guardiola is NOT one of the great managers!
If you ask football fans about the greatest modern day football managers, most will say Alex Ferguson, Jose Mourinho and Pep Guardiola. Let’s start with Sir Alex. He managed an Aberdeen side in the Scottish league during the late 70’s and early 80’s. An Aberdeen side that had only won a single league title before he […]
Diving has ruined football for me
Going to the freezer to get some ice and seeing the ice-trays are empty really irritates me. Listening to people say “It’s only a game” when the Proteas get knocked out the World Cup, frustrates me. There’s a third thing that is slowly entering my list of things I can’t stand – watching football. Granted, […]
Southampton’s bubble is about to burst
Put your hand up if you thought Southampton were on the relegation shortlist this season. My hand’s up. In fact, before the season kicked off, I went online and looked at the odds of them going down as I fancied putting money on it, but the odds weren’t worth it. Who remembers the Saints spine last year? It […]
