Twenty Years Of Arsene Wenger

Yesterday was the twentieth anniversary of one of English football’s stalwarts. From the first successful foreign manager in England to a possible obstacle to Arsenal’s evolution, Arsene Wenger’s career has changed immensely but he will always have a legacy.   Arsene Wenger entered Highbury as a fresh new face and became the clubs most successful…

Big Sam’s Revolution?

Sam Allardyce’s reign over the English Lions has begun with, well… a 1-0 win over Slovakia. Doesn’t sound too impressive and it wasn’t. But Can we really judge him on this performance? After all, he’s only had a few weeks to get his ideas in place and get the team on board, so should we judge him…

Blame Miss Barclay Review

Let me pre-face this with I am not a musical connoisseur. I have never studied music, I played the drums for a few years but I was shit. I probably shouldn’t be reviewing an album, but I am. Because I don’t see Blame Miss Barclay as an album, I see it more as a piece…

The Most Unpredictable Title-Race Ever?

The top four is usually the easier portion of the table to predict each year. Arsenal, Manchester United, Chelsea and Manchester City have all been the big names up there for the past several years (excluding last year of course). But this year it seems as if there’s less of a top four and more…

Is Pokemon Go Good Or Bad?

Beware, you enter the realm of a Pokemon Go think-piece. This be a dangerous place. A place where people believe they have the philosophical and sociological answers attributed to Pokemon Go.

Euro 2016 Review

So it’s over. The teams have all gone home, some in jubilation, some in despair. But what have we learned? We’ve learnt that Cristiano Ronaldo will probably become a manager who screams at his players and pushes them back onto the pitch when they’re injured. Iceland’s thunder-clap will become a fashion around the footballing world….

England’s Worst Defeat Ever?

So once again the curtain has fallen on another major competition for the three lions, more with a whimper than a roar. Should we have seen this coming? Perhaps, when a team manages to only win one game out of three in a group of Russia, Slovakia and Wales the alarm bells should have been…

Premier League Review Part 2

NEWCASTLE What a nightmare. A team with so much history brought down by a bitter rival. Newcastle were poor for much of the season and deserved to go down, but sadly for them it was by the hand of Sunderland. Steve McClaren had no answers at the start of the season other than pulling positives…

The Premier League Review Part 1

So it’s over, twenty teams have played all of their thirty-eight games and now there is calm. The celebrations have ended, the commiseration endured and the managers done away with. So now it’s time to reflect on a Premier League seasons that some will say has been the best in a decade. In the next parts…

Rocket League Review

My rocket-boosted car flies through the air as a sudden heavy metal guitar riff plays. The musical notes forcing their way from my exhaust pipe as two opponents are left in the dust. The ball is high in the air, about to descend and I notice the player NoSCoPe69 coming in for the same ball,…
