Well now that Sky Sports is calm­ing down a bit from its day of “twist and turns” (sure), the trans­fer dead­line is upon us and teams can no longer make any more per­ma­nent sign­ings. The foot­ball league sides can still sign free agents and make short term loan sign­ings, but any per­ma­nent sign­ings in these […]

The start of the newly named Npower foot­ball league is almost upon us and it all gets under way on Fri­day night at Car­row Road when Nor­wich take on Wat­ford. As well as a pre­view I will be writ­ing on Thurs­day, I thought I’d pick out 5 play­ers from this sea­son that are worth keeping […]

Can Kris Boyd Prove Himself Across The Border?

Apolo­gies for a lack of updates lately, with the amount of work I’ve been doing lately my life mir­rors the ‘con­gested hol­i­day fix­ture list’! Unfor­tu­nately this week­end we have once again dis­cov­ered that the UK is the only coun­try more effi­cient in a world war than being in a snow ‘storm’. Early sea­son pro­mo­tion favourites […]
