Only weeks ago, we all gave you guys what we deemed to be our favourite boots of the previous calendar year, and we’re doing the exactly the same for undoubtedly the most important aspect of the football game: the players themselves! While we do admit that the big two titans – Messi and Ronaldo – [...]
SR Opinion: Feeling the Blues?
Old Trafford was the venue for the clash of Manchester’s and the Premier League’s titans yesterday. The “noisy neighbours” locked horns with Manchester United and they were more than just “noisy” – they were deafening. Many anticipated a close encounter as the top two vied for bragging rights, first place and the psychological advantage. How [...]
Enough is Enough
Anyone who might follow me on Twitter or on Facebook will know that I have very limited patience for modern footballers. I cannot understand how someone being paid in a week what most people can only dream of earning in a year or a lifetime can match their salaries with such immaturity, or, in some [...]

England go Dutch in Sofia
It was a curious treat to watch England in Sofia. I am currently in the Netherlands till the end of the year, and so naturally had to watch the Oranje strut their stuff against European whipping boys San Marino on the telly.

Do Nike Have What It Takes to 'Write the Future'?
Ever since the birth of the messiah-esque of soccer cleats, the Adidas F50 AdiZero, Nike has fallen from its pedestal of the world’s leading cleat company. However, it seems that, slowly but surely, Nike could be clawing their way back to the top… It is obvious that since the introduction of the CTR360′s, soccer brands [...]
Time to clean up the Window?
***Written prior to the close of the transfer window. With a number of transfer sagas greatly affecting various premier league clubs, is it time for the transfer window to be adjusted? This summer has seen Arsenal as the most high profile victims of drawn out transfers, with both Cesc Fabregas and now Samir Nasri leaving [...]
Wenger- Is it Time to Go?
***Written prior to the end of the summer transfer window. Never before have I seen Arsene Wenger look quite as dishevelled and disconsolate as I have on the touchline recently, with his tense countenance reflecting accurately the hopelessness of Arsenal’s performances, which look equally dishevelled and disconsolate. Incontrovertibly this is his lowest point in his time at Arsenal, perhaps [...]
