Would you ever take your football club to court? What would it take? Injury caused at a football ground caused by the club’s negligence? Having your season ticket taken away from you for no reason by the club, leaving you out of pocket? Would you not take them to court at all because they are your club?

The John Terry effect

He is a player that polarises people rather than bring them together, and for someone who’s supposed to lead a team, this is definitely not a desired trait for a captain. He is that type of character that will have an effect on the team.

In the world of a little big club

How many times do you hear the argument, ‘we’re a bigger club that you are?’ Well, after a row in the local boozer last night, I thought I would stir it up even more by putting the Premiership in order of big to little.

Bale - overrated?

"World Class" is banded around willy nilly in modern football, to many players are assigned this title, on the merit of a game or run of form. Gareth Bale is a good player, in fact he is a very good player, but World Class?

The curious cases of Crouch and Carroll

To be honest, the John Terry England captaincy story has made its splash in the water and the ripple effect isn’t as bad as initially feared. Fans and players have, in the majority, welcomed back Terry as captain so, in my opinion; it’s time to move on from the whole scenario.
