I have to say that I believe this to be something of a missed opportunity and a bit of step backwards. Sure, on the face of it, Ballance's average for England is very good. However, his technique was giving him all sorts of troubles shortly before he was dropped last year and he was making very...
This is great news for England IMO. He's never getting near the test team ahead of Anderson, Broad, Finn, Wood, Ali, or Rashid. But the selectors do like him for the limited overs matches so any extra experience he can get in that format is good for us, and let's face it, it doesn't get better...
Fury claims he isn't welcomed in this country because he is a so called ‘gypsy’. Well, when you proclaim yourself to be the ‘gypsy king’ and make anti-gay comments in addition to age-old slurs against women, you don’t particularly cast yourself and your ‘community’ in the best light. This is...
I didn't take in a single word he said on last night's MOTD2 because I just couldn't stop staring at how bad his jumper was. Maybe it was distraction tactics so people would be less inclined to critique his punditry.
Surely those that think otherwise aren't claiming the much higher win percentage with SB in the team is pure coincidence? He does so much running for the team which doesn't appear to have much impact on the surface but as the games wear on, players tire of this and make mistakes. Mistakes which...
Whilst I have no gripes with him and have been delighted with his contribution since joining, I don't personally see him as a winger but more as an advanced attacking midfielder. I'm not sure if he is suited to playing the out and out winger role.
There's every chance we could stick another good amount past Charlton this weekend. They've nothing to play for and will be in the mire. Winning by 2 or 3 puts us right there.
Jiri is only going to get better the more time he is given and he's earning his minutes at the moment. It's kind of crazy that Murphy who is a key player is now being kept out of the starting line-up. 5 assists and a goal in your last 5 starts will do that.
This PNE match should in theory be tough one for Burnley, I said on here a while ago that the average number of points away teams take away from Deepdale was less than 1.0 so a draw is actually a good result for them in a vacuum. There's every chance they may leave with nothing at all!
