Steve Bruce Deserves Praise For Wigan Athletic Turnaround

September 25th, 2008 · Comments

The cold hard truth is that no one cares about Wigan Athletic. I’ve written about them in the past but even their own supporters aren’t bothered to participate in the discussion.
Out of the 20 teams in the Premier League, Wigan is the most underreported side. Unless, that is, there’s controversy or a outspoken comment needed, […]

How To Make Newcastle United A Successful Club Again

September 23rd, 2008 · Comments

Contrary to popular belief, Newcastle United is not a poisoned club. Nor are they jinxed with injuries. At worst, they’re a poorly run club who has made one bad decision after another after another.
With news that a Nigerian consortium are interested in buying Newcastle, Toon fans will be keeping their fingers crossed that current owner […]

Premiership Preview–15. Wigan Athletic

August 3rd, 2008 · Comments

They play some of the ugliest soccer in the Premiership. Their field surface is undoubtedly the worst in the Premiership and sits in one of the league’s smallest stadiums, which is also shared with a rugby club. They have no star players to speak of, and are run by a 71-year-old chairman with questionable […]

Manchester United Wins the League As Predicted

May 12th, 2008 · Comments

For all the backlash the Premier League faced this season, the 2007/2008 season will go down as one of the best in my memory. Sure, we didn’t have as many classic matches as we’ve had in seasons past but taken as a whole, it was one of the closest races at the top and bottom.Looking […]

The Premier League Manager Merry-go-round

November 27th, 2007 · Comments

Birmingham City looks set to name Alex McLeish as their new manager in the morning. While this is a huge coup for the brummies, it give us a good indication of the money and allure that the Premier League has over international football.
After all, and no offense to Birmingham City, but McLeish did give us […]

Feel Extra Sorry for EPL Managers This Season

August 16th, 2007 · Comments

It’s absolutely ridiculous that this much pressure is being placed on Premier League managers already so soon into the season. If this much talk about managers getting the sack so early in the season was in place during the past five to 10 years, then EPL managers such as Alex Ferguson and David Moyes would […]
