Sport News 24/7 By Adam Drewery A fantastic 2013/14 campaign has brought a smile back on the face of every Evertonian who was worried how we would do without Moyes. Few – myself included – could have guessed such a turnaround in such a short period of time. A completely new style of football (or a reversion to the old ‘School of Science’?) coupled with new ‘have a go’ rather that ‘contain’ attitude has breathed new life into a team...

Sport News 24/7 By Andy Ollerhead It’s an emotional game this football lark (Or maybe totes emoshe, think it was added to Oxford dictionary today) and Liverpool fans had a typically divisive heart vs head moment last week with the news that Pepe Reina was swapping the sub bench splinters of Anfield for the heated, cushioned, probably built-in-Playstationed comfort of the subs area at Germanic trophy machine Bayern Munich. “He was one of us” has been the call from many,...

Sport News 24/7   By Ian Carroll It’s been an odd summer. After United finished the season well before everybody else, signing off with a 3-1 win at West Ham in January, this last few months have seen something very rare happen- Newcastle United have actually bothered to sign some footballers. Some, no doubt, better than others, but it’s hard not to be a little bit optimistic about seeing Cabella (loves a step-over, looks like he gets dressed in the...

By James Mackney  @JimMackney The problem with this season is last season…  The Saints did extraordinarily well last season. Highest points total ever in the Premier League, joint highest finish with the only bleak point being dumped out of the FA Cup to Sunderland with a whimper. We played exciting, attacking and prolific football that cemented the football club as everyone’s favourite second team much like Swansea had done a couple of seasons previously.  Then it all went a bit pear...

By Will Hermann Dear Deidre… I have a bit of a problem and I’m hoping you can help. You see, I spent last year with this racy little Italian thing and I’ve been trying to get him to commit to me all summer. He’s pretty beautiful and has all the assets I’m after – a nice turn of pace and a bit of class in the final third. He’s also proven to be a proper goer when it’s mattered –...

By David Edwards Arsenal supporters have had the unaccustomed experience of an enjoyable pre-season. No key players pushing to leave, deals already done for Sanchez, Debuchy, Chambers and Ospina and the possibility of a couple more signings before the end of August. Just to round things off nicely we put three past an admittedly rather disinterested looking Man City in the Community Shield. Whilst Debuchy, Chambers and Ospina all look good signings it’s the arrival of Sanchez that has generated...

By Matt Allen The class of 92 will be forever held in the highest regard, not only by fans of Manchester United, but football fans across the globe. The very essence of producing youngsters from your own stable and watching them make the transition from academy to first team can reduce even the sternest of football fans to tears at their triumph. There is often a sense that "if that lad makes it, it’s like one of us is fulfilling our...

It was first Blood to Wenger today, as Arsenal overcame Manchester City 3-0 in the Community Shield. After the game Arsene, speaking to BT Sport, said: "Overall it was a united team performance. Aaron Ramsey's goal was good and it showed that the belief was there, but what I keep in mind is that it was a real team performance.” Ok not the best quote in the world, so here are his top 30 best lines... 1) "I watched it...

By David de Winter – Sports Writer @davidjdewinter It could be the fact that I have very few friends or that I’m just a bit of a loser, but my idea of a good night in involves watching classic sport clips on youtube with a glass of wine in hand. Whilst other twentysomethings are busy interacting with other humans and generally socialising, I can be found scouring the internet for footage of Euro 96 or Prince Naseem Hamed in his...
