Teenage Millionaires

Last weekend I read an article that suggested that Liverpool starlet Raheem Sterling was offered a new contract believed to be in the region of £20,000 a week. Only for him to turn it down as he apparently thinks he is worth closer to £50,000.

English Football Is Embarrassed Once Again

It really has been one of the most shameful periods ever in English football. The game that is loved by billions across the world has been brought into disrepute in the past couple of weeks. There are many things that are wrong with the modern game, for instance the amount of money players earn a week. The main focus will be on the John Terry case, Ashley Cole’s tweet and the topic of diving.

Tweeting worse than cheating (Video)

How has it come to being that we live in a world where petty comments and the use of social media has become a greater offence than that of its physical counterpart?

The weekend kicked off with Ashley Cole doing exactly that - kicking off. His decision to 'tweet' in response to the FA stating his comments were irregular and inconsistent was nothing short of juvenile.

Too early for Rio 2014 predictions? Never!

As England prepare to face Ukraine in their second World Cup 2014 qualifier, let’s take this opportunity to predict who will knock England out in Rio two years from now. I jest, of course, but every major tournament brings with it so much promise for the Three Lions and every time it seems we are eliminated in increasingly spectacular fashion.

Why England can be a force at Brazil 2014 and prove Charlton wrong

So England’s record goalscorer and national treasure Sir Bobby Charlton believes there is no chance of England’s current side winning or even competing for trophies in the near future and certainly not at the next World Cup in Brazil. His assertion that England “havent got a lot of top-quality players” meaning that “you cannot see it happening in Brazil at the next World Cup” has caused quite a reaction, with many leaping to back up the 1966 World Cup winners’ claims.

11 Euro 2012 Flops

It was a fairly safe assumption that Stewart Downing would flop had he played and Glenn Whelan or Stephen Ward performed miserably but were never classed as players suited to playing at such a high level anyhow. This list is of individuals who were generally viewed as important members of their respective countries hopes who underperformed in the tournament. I'm going with a Hodgson/Trapattoni 4-4-2 formation.

Can Chelsea challenge?

When you look at the Premier League next season, it is hard to see who are clear title challengers. There are , you could argue, 7 or 8 top teams, but of these only about 3 will genuinely challenge for the prize that they all want.

A controversial captain choice

As a Wolves fan, I am completely rudderless at the moment. My club has no manager, and neither does my country. Who am I supposed to complain about when I’m in the pub?
