That's the way the week… Continue reading The coronavirus outbreak may actually benefit football in the long run.
What do football fans do with the season on hold?
It's funny isn't it, how integral something that supposed to be a past-time or a hobby can become?

Lampard was never going to get who he wanted in January. The transfer focus needs to shift to the summer.
With only a day until the January transfer window closes, Chelsea’s lack of activity has a number of fans voicing their anger. Why did the club go to such lengths to get the ban they were saddled with overturned if they weren’t going to do any business in January? Lampard has also been very vocal… Continue reading Lampard was never going to get who he wanted in January. The transfer focus needs to shift to the summer.
Is it time to scrap F.A. Cup replays?

VAR is still making headlines for all the wrong reasons. Something needs to change.
The major talking point of the Premier League season so far has not been Liverpool's unbeaten run, or Manchester City's slip-ups or the fact that both North London clubs have sacked their managers.
