THIS UNITED LOOK DISJOINTED As United crumbled against Swansea on Sunday, I kept wondering how they managed to take nothing from a game in which they had so much ball possession. Pass, pass, pass, and pass again but no consistent threats in the opponent’s penalty box: Mata on the wings, Rooney as a lone striker,…
PEDRO-AD TO SUCCESS I am actually in the States at the moment, so with the difference in time zones, I only managed to watch a couple of EPL games this weekend and saw just a few goals from some other matches. If there was any lesson we learned last season, it is that whenever Chelsea…
CITY FINALLY STAND UP TO BE COUNTED If Manchester City play the whole season as they battered Chelsea on Sunday, then not only the treble but the quadruple is on the cards without question for this great team. I have always said since last season that City have the best squad and the best team…
Sometimes the only thing we need in order to advance is change. Change from the known to the unknown, from the familiar to the unfamiliar, and a departure from our set ideas to try new things. Abram was pretty comfortable and doing ‘okay’ here until the Lord asked him to go out and venture into…

The Barclays Premiership opens this weekend, and what a season we have ahead of us! Would there be another surprise team like Southampton, punching above its weight this season?

How many times have you seen businesses fold up because of cashflow problems? How often have we seen nations collapse because they ran out of money? And how many times…
Francis Baker once said that “Money is a good servant but a bad master”. What if you didn’t have to worry about paying bills or affording the holidays? What if you didn’t have to worry about money at all? What if money didn’t matter to you and you could live life on your own terms?…
May 5, 2015 CHELSEA MAKE IT CRYSTAL CLEAR WITH JOSE AT THE HELM Crystal Palace offered the last resistance to the Roman army as they marched on to regain the title they lost five years ago to the Mancunians. Even as Pardew, Bolasie, Zaha, Puncheon and the others did all they could, there was no…
May 12, 2015 BAYERN AT BARCA’S MESSI “This is football on another planet” shouted Gary Neville as Bayern squared up with Barcelona during the first leg of the Champions League semi-final, and as it was on paper, it was evens on the night, until Lionel Messi moved another gear up. I felt sorry for Jerome…
