Well, the first thing to do from my perspective would be to not sack Frank Lampard. For a manager to not be able to make any signings during their first transfer window in charge, with the most important player leaving, having to rely rather heavily on players who were not proven at Premier League level,… Continue reading What will Chelsea need to do in the summer?

Now is the time that everything gets sorted out for the next season of English football.

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.
Can anyone catch Liverpool now?
Liverpool look like they are going to claim their first league title in 29 years this season. The Jurgen Klopp project has finally reached full momentum in the league. Though to be fair to them, they started to gain the momentum this time last year. Liverpool haven't lost a league game since a 2-1 defeat… Continue reading Can anyone catch Liverpool now?
What we learnt from Chelsea’s win over Burnley.
Chelsea's 3-0 win over Burnley on Saturday arrested their rather indifferent home form and gave Chelsea fans a great home performance to cheer for the first time in far too long.

The honeymoon is over for Frank Lampard. The hard work begins now.
After Thursday’s general election results I would normally write something about it, but most everyone who reads this blog knows my opinion of Boris Johnson and of Britain's withdrawal from the EU, so I won't waste your or my time rehashing old pieces. And I promise not to write anything about The Rise of Skywalker… Continue reading The honeymoon is over for Frank Lampard. The hard work begins now.
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. It has been the impact of VAR or Video Assistant Referee. Var was supposed to help the referees make the really tight,… Continue reading VAR is still making headlines for all the wrong reasons. Something needs to change.
Is Jose Mourinho really the right man for Tottenham?
So. The Premier League has seen a major managerial change for the first time this season. Mauricio Pochettino's tenure came screeching to an end last Tuesday after five and a half years at the helm. Now, much as I really don't like Spurs, Pochettino took them from a side who were an occasional Champions League… Continue reading Is Jose Mourinho really the right man for Tottenham?
How on earth do Chelsea fit all their players in?
I know I write about Chelsea a lot on this blog, but if you read the homepage it does say that Chelsea is one of my favourite things to discuss and write about, so do please indulge me. Chelsea are having a far better start to the season than anyone expected. Pundits and fans were… Continue reading How on earth do Chelsea fit all their players in?
