Premier League 2000 - 2001

I think that the current Premier League setup is going nowhere for the vast majority of football clubs, with the spoils of victory going mostly to the top half a dozen or so clubs and the rest having to fight around the table for the scraps and leftovers. I have no reason to think that the 2009/10 season will be any different, with the likely top four clubs at the end of the season likely to come from Arsenal, Manchester United, Liverpool, Chelsea, and possibly Everton and Manchester City. What leads me to this conclusion? The answer is simple enough. Since its conception in the 1992/93 season the Premier League has only been won by four clubs; Arsenal (3 ...  Read the complete review

Just incase you haven't heard, it is August and the football season has kicked off once again, and whether you are a fan or not the journey from August to May is going to be a long road, either because of the ups and downs of your teams season or because you can't find anything else to watch on the television besides Match Of The Day. With a new season comes updated coverage, new signings, and quite frankly everything is that little bit different so that it is going to take a while getting used to. What is different this season? Well read on to get my up to the minute analysis of the season thus far. Sky Sports have gone for a new look this year in terms of ...  Read the complete review

There it was folks. The first set of weekend matches in the new premiership campaign. Imagine my review dictated by motson, and sit back, enjoy the magic of the best sport there is Picture it now, as we start. Sun shining, warm and dry, eleven men walk out onto the pitch, and realise they have actually gone to spain. They should have realised, when the trip in the team bus takes 47hrs, but they were drunk on the sport they love. Back in England, they take (the correct) field, with the 55000 capacity stadium of light the scene. This is a stadium fit for the premiership, and no mistake. Hard to believe that it was home to a championship side last year. ...  Read the complete review

Football is probably the only thing that brings the world and all its religions together, Iraq’s amazing victory in the Asia Cup an example of, the nation unified behind their astounding success. That’s why America suck at soccer. With no international football tournaments of our own to keep us going through this so called summer and having no young ladies to keep my mind off the boredom I’m gagging for both the Premiership and some crumpet. Footy cant come soon enough! My idea of foreplay and fantasy in July has been rearranging the defense in my fantasy football teams. By the way if you like you’re footy and play fantasy league, dooyoo run a league on ...  Read the complete review

With the beginning of a new Premiership season merely weeks away it is difficult not to see it as a case of “business as usual”. Now do not get me wrong, a lot has happened close season in terms of transfer wheelings and dealings, changes of management and even ownerships of clubs but has anything really changed? In terms of the title race for the coming season it must surely be a two horse race of Manchester United and Chelsea again. Manchester United have not made any earth shattering signings during the summer but they really have no need to as they already have strength in depth. In fact, they are more likely to be selling at present with the departure ...  Read the complete review
