To see Sam Allardyce exit in such a way is very painful, both for football and England in general. Okay my bias is because I am a football student and I’m talking purely football matters and nothing else. Finally England got an indigenous manager who knew what he was doing – Sports Science, data analysis,…
Towards the end of last season, I noticed how powerful and forceful a team Tottenham had become, but for the inexperience and the blow out at Stamford Bridge which drained the team and cost them a crack at the title, Tottenham Hotspurs under Mauricio Pochettino for me, had come of age. If anyone needed reminding…
How do you determine the winners and the losers in a frantic seven day period? Results? Position? Points? The bigger question however is, who is ready to win the Premier league from a host of teams tipped to do it? Initially we all said Manchester City, Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal. Liverpool showed up to…

The Super Cup or Charity Shield, as we call it here in England kick started the season today. Leicester’s success…
How do you get a job done that you don’t know how to do? You either hire a professional to do it or you train someone to become the professional to do it. Villa board did neither of the two, they just tried to do the job by themselves. The problem with DIY jobs however,…
IS THE PREMIERSHIP OVERRATED? I was in Bali in December and I remember landing and thinking, I have to watch Chelsea play Leicester and also watch them play the UCL game against Porto. I checked the time zones and some games were coming up at 2am, so I asked at the hotel reception where I…
After much speculations and deliberations, Jose Mourinho returns to English football for the third time, only this time in a red shirt instead of the familiar blue one we are used to. He brings competition, winning mentality, comedy, box office interviews and if you go by what he has done everywhere he has been, he…
GAME ON! Nineteen games in the 1st week of the Premiership and if I told you I know who would be winning the Premiership, I’d either be guessing or being untrue. So who would be the greatest among the greats, come end of season? KLOPP Jurgen Klopp’s win at the Emirates – a direct title…
