With a perfect 18 points in six matches and a +12 goal difference to boot, the Blues aren’t letting their recent transfer ban get in the way of a [...]

Can West Ham United’s new Italian talent have the same impact on the Hammers as club legend Paolo Di Canio did between 1999 and 2003?

UEFA, You’ve Lost Your Touch

“Giggs looking to pick out Rooney… who’s got there, is that a penalty kick?! What does Mike Dean say?! He says penalty!”
