What does it take to win the Premier League?

When the season started in August the four "usual suspects" were put forward as potential champions but after witnessing the weekend's action, I think you can narrow it down to Manchester United or Arsenal.

I think if you had a poll amongst genuine football fans and asked them, 'Who plays the best...

I was interested to see Sir Alex Ferguson's remarks this week about the number of players of different nationalities playing in the Champions League this year.

Sir Alex noted that there were more Scottish players registered for the competition than English ones!

I think this goes some way to highlighting why England aren't doing so well at the moment at national...

What another fantastic weekend of sporting action!

Who would have thought that we would see England qualify for the Rugby World Cup Final after witnessing their hammering against South Africa earlier in the tournament. All the criticism that Brian Ashton and the team took would have sunk many a ship but you have to take your hat off to them for...

The debate goes on: "Is the Premier League the best league in the world?"...

As ever, a highlight of the Blues' pre-season tour has been the sing-song that takes...

Everton Kitman Jimmy Martin has won the Open!

The British Open, played at Carnoustie in Scotland may have been claimed in dramatic fashion by Padraig Harrington but Jimmy was celebrating every bit as much as the Irishman.

Jimmy had pulled Harrington’s name out of the hat when the Everton party arranged a pre-Open sweepstake at Manchester Airport prior to flying out to...

The Everton party is settling into life on the west side of the Atlantic and the body clocks of all the players and staff are slowly but surely becoming attuned to the time difference between the UK and the USA.

The players have been put through their paces in their first Stateside training session, conducted at 10am but with a burning...
