Season Preview 2021/22 – Manchester City

Posted on August 3, 2021 by Dave

Oooh they’re the champions, how impressive in a season where their nearest rivals either had no fit centre-backs or were managed by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. They’ll probably win it again, as if anyone would be shocked.

What we learned from the weekend (that I already knew)

Premier League Officials

Posted on April 8, 2012 by Dave

Apparently this weekend the Premier League officials have been terrible. However, the teams negatively affected were Wigan and QPR, so no-one cares, and the main beneficiaries were United, so no-one is allowed to talk about it. Luckily for you, Goalposts … Continue reading →
