Summer Window

My quick fire look at the transfer window so far.

Raheem Sterling

I don't see what he's done wrong. He has no ties to Liverpool FC, he was not a fan as a young boy. He did not grow up in Liverpool he was just poached by Liverpool from QPR as a 15 year old. He wants to win things and play in the Champions League both I don't think he will do at Anfield. A good move for him, and QPR pocketing nearly £10m is a added bonus.

Manchester United

Matteo Darmian, Bastian Schweinsteiger and Morgan Schneiderlin all through the door so far. One of United's weakness was the middle of the park that has been strengthen greatly now. This I guess would mean Rooney plays in his natural position up front. The keeper situation still needs to be sorted, will De Gea go to Real Madrid. Hugo Lloris has a has broken wrist who I think would have ended up at United. I don't think De Gea will go to Madrid unless Man United get Sergio Ramos.

Petr Cech going to Arsenal, finally they have a safe pair of hands in the net again.

Liverpool

Ings, Milner, Bogdan, Clyne & Frimino all through the door so far. Make or break for Brendan this year.

Yohan Cabaye going to Crystal Palace great bit of business by them.

Where has as it all gone wrong for Chelsea?

After Chelsea’s defeat in Germany to Bayer Leverkusen manager Andre Villas-Boas is a man under serious pressure no matter what he thinks. As Chelsea sank to their third defeat from their last five games I look into where has it gone wrong? Well Chelsea was on a run of six unbeaten going in to their game at Loftus Road towards the end of October. A game where Chelsea thought they would walk all over their London rivals. This didn’t happen that day in West London Chelsea lost the game and lost the plot. The repercussions of that match have still left an effect. QPR won 1-0, but the game will also be remembered for John Terry’s racist slur, Chelsea’s ill-disciplined team (7 yellows and 2 reds). Plus AVB was fined £12,000 after the game for comments made about the referee. Since that match Chelsea have only beaten Blackburn Rovers & Everton on penalties. Their defence looks weak, Terry is getting exposed and David Luiz is not the best partner. Centre of midfield is a problem, Lampard ...

As the dust settles and all the teams have played their first games at this year’s World Cup I look back at the early talking points of the tournament. England’s performance was not the best but it also wasn’t the worst. Rob Greens howler will live long in the memory of English football now. He will get hounded at every away ground next season just like James, Carson and Robinson have gone through. I think England will learn a lot from the USA game, and I truly think that Joe Cole has to be on the pitch. I would play him behind Rooney which means dropping Heskey even though he did play well on Saturday. My team on Friday would be, Green (One more chance to save his England career), Johnson, Terry, Dawson, A. Cole, Barry, Lennon, Lampard, Gerrard, J. Cole and Rooney. The most impressive team so far have been Germany. They walked all over Australia and with a very young side they could go a long way. Spain suffered the first World Cup shock when Switzerland beat them 1-0. Spain were the ...

Is it time for women officials in top flight football?

Can they run they line? Can the referee a top flight game? Are they any better or worse than male referees? Or should they stick with the female version of the game? Richard Keys & Andy Gray have once again brought this issue in to football. Here are a few for’s and against women officials. The Pro’s Women have become part of modern day football. That is a fact. At all levels they plan the game and in some cases they run the show, for example Karen Brady. They now attend more games than they use to. You see them in the crowds, mainly in the home end sitting down not signing but they’re still there. There’s no reason to say they don’t know the rules of the game, especially the offside rule as its now become very, very vague to what it actually is! As long as their adequate and have the ability to do the job properly and fairly surely that’s all that matters. Could this be the key that brings a bit more respect in to the game of football? The Con’s Can the female officials take the a...
