    Transfer Roundup - Replacement for Lucas?
    Manchester United's pursuit of Lucas Moura seems to be at an end with the intervention of the Qatari owned Paris Saint Germain, who are paying £35.5 million to take the Brazilian to the French Capital.  However Ferguson already has his eyes on a replacement. With cash strapped Malaga looking...

    The Swansea Raid... Liverpool and now Manchester City?
    It's that time of the season once again and it seems the rumour mill has thrown up yet more tension between the Swansea fan base and their ex-manager. If he wasn't the villian earlier, he certainly is now after being linked with 2 of the Swans core players and top performers.  The Joe Allen saga...

    Is Lucas Moura's United switch still on?
    A new twist in the Lucas Moura saga. United had apparently had a £26m offer accepted, or maybe not, as Sao Paulo now say United still haven't met their valuation. Ferguson is refusing to stand down, after the long pursuit of the attacking magician had seemed to come to a conclusion. But the 19...

    Holding for £25m... United to buy Van Persie?
    Some would say this is quite unusual... an unhappy player in the final year of his contract wants to go and you can still milk £20m plus out of him - even at 28 years old. Robin van Persie has had a fantastic season at Arsenal but are his club being unrealistic? Is any 28 year old (29 in 2 weeks...

    Suarez re-opening the Evra race row again?
    Suarez has gone and spoken his views on the incident with Patrice Evra - accusing Manchester United of using their 'political power' to have him banned for 8 games. He also said that the club contrived to make him look the villain when the pair didn't shake hands in their next clash.  Despite be...

    Swansea and Liverpool at War over Joe Allen?
    The rage continues. Swansea fans have had about enough of the Merseyside club as not only have they poached their manager, they're looking to buy possibly their greatest prospect in young Joe Allen. All talk of a clause preventing Brendan raiding his former club looks blown out of the water, as ...

    Are Direct Free-kicks a waste?
    Your team has a free kick just outside the area, 90 minutes have gone. You are currently drawing 2-2 and you need the 3 points. You have Pirlo, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Ibrahimovic standing over the ball. Most people are waiting in expectation. But in reality, they shouldn't get their hopes up at a...

    The World's 3rd best player?
    The argument about who is the best player in the world - it's continuous. Names are thrown around with some almost religiously sticking up for their chosen one. In the present day, there is a 'team Ronaldo' and a 'team Messi' - both believe their man is the one who is the best in the sport. And...

    United and Chelsea at War over Lucas Moura
    Lucas Moura... a player who at just 19 already has 15 full international caps to his name. A player not only with incredible pace but also showing an unusual maturity with the pass, who can play on either wing or as a playmaker. Versatile, skillful, deadly. Someone wonders why is he on so many c...

    Brendan Rodgers... Traitor? Saviour?
    There's a lot of bitterness out there. Well, not bitterness, but self-righteous rage, at Swansea where the 5th manager since 2007 has to be appointed. Some Swans fans see their club as just a mere stepping stone to the big time. Martinez - styled as Judas ever since his ignominious exit - and no...

    Denmark have already seemingly been written off in Group B, the stereotyped 'Group of Death', and yes, there are 3 major footballing powers jostling around them. But is that justified?
