Premier League: Will Arsenal sign Usain Bolt? Will Chelsea retain Champions League?
We are all welcoming the fast approaching new season, with hopes of our team lifting a trophy as motivation anew. But as a spoiler, I have looked into the future, and will now reveal the major events of the season. After losing their friendly against Italy, England rise to first in the Fifa ran...
The stories in the press about an approach for Brian McDermott are promising. Wolves need to get away from the 'we're a big club' attitude and get a fresher face in who can build the club ethos for the long term- like Brendan Rogers and Paul Lambert.
The problem is most Wolves fans and people connected to the club think of it as bigger than the likes of Swansea and Norwich and the pressure is always there for quick solutions. Surprised McCarthy survived so long, because he was never most fans' cup of tea from the start

Wolves: Is Bruce really the man to save them from the drop?
Right now, in line with his straight, gruff-collared image, Mick McCarthy is probably consoling himself down his local with a crisp, cold bevvy in one hand and a ton of consolers and commiserations on his shoulder. Maybe some Nobby's nuts and a thinly-veiled one-liner up his sleeve, you might...

Thanks for the reminder but the point was that since 1991 Estonia haven't managed to win the Baltic Cup, which is relevant to their current status. It shows that this effort in qualifying is the high point of Estonia's international football since 1991.

Ireland: 10 Handy Facts About Estonia
The Republic of Ireland probably received the draw they wanted when they were paired with Estonia in the Euro 2012 play-offs. The Baltic state have never qualified for an World Cup or Euro tournament, or a play-off, before. 1. Estonia have been in action since 1991 after the break-up of the Sovi...

That's a quality spot Tom- it shuldhave read 'players', not 'defenders'. Went in to change it when I got to work this morning but you already spotted it

The View Outside The Premier League: Sven's Leicester On The Move
Early defeats to Reading and Bristol City put a sizeable dent in Leicester City's aspirations but since the first weeks of the season the Foxes have steadily been improving. Everything came together nicely on Saturday evening when they thumped East Midlands rivals Derby County by a four goal...
Thanks for the comment Louis. Oxlade-Chamberlain is an interesting shout- thsi competition could be just right to ease him into the international game.
I mentioned Wilshere in the article but I don't see him playing. If fit, he'll be at Euro 2012 and I can't see Arsenal wanting him to play the summer and then the Olympics- except if he is out for nearly the whole season and needs games to be fit for the 2012/13 campaign.

Who Will Turn Out For Great Britain Next Summer?
With less than a year to go, speculation is mounting about who will appear for the Great Britain team at the London Olympics. Despite opposition from the Scottish, Welsh and Northern Irish FAs , some players have begun indicating they would like to be considered. Football is an unusual sport in ...
Thanks for your comment Matthew. I didn't see Neill as a bad player but he didn't seem as effective as previously - and not at the wages West Ham paid him.
However, he is still playing at a decent level

West Ham Need New Recruits Quickly
West Ham finished five points above the drop zone last season but their survival owed more to the limitations of the three teams below them. Two wins in the last five matches halted a slide which saw them lose six on the spin in early Spring. Despite developing quality young players like Mark No...
