*DISCLAIMER* Before we get too far into it, “all-time” is defined by the life span of the Premier League in this instance to try and keep it as fair as possible. Anyone who played in Serie A or the Premier League between August 1992 and today was eligible to be selected, but I selected the […]
One of the greatest managers in the history of the sport, Jose Mourinho has managed some of the greatest players the game has ever seen. He also managed two of the best teams we’ve seen, during two separate eras and for two different reasons. When Mourinho joined Chelsea as ‘The Special One’, he built one […]
When you think football, you almost certainly will think of the Brazilian national team and it’s glittering history. The famous yellow shirts are linked heavily with some of the greatest attacking players in the history of football, while defensively they’ve probably never been blessed with the best options. They’ve had a few stand outs but […]
Since the early 90’s, two of the best footballing nations to have played the game are Holland and France. Countless players have caught the imagination of fans and media alike over the last 30-odd years, so I decided to select the best XI of each country from my lifetime and pit them against each other.

Since the Premier League began in 1992, Chelsea have won 21 trophies (excluding Community Shield) while Liverpool have won 14 trophies including this season’s Premier League title. So if you combine both team’s best […]
If you ask most football fans of a certain age, the first football team they’ll remember globally is Real Madrid’s Galacticos. A team put together with one superstar signing a year in the early 00’s, with the idea that they would partner up with the best of Real Madrid’s academy – hence the original ‘Zidanes […]
Two of the greatest managers of all-time, who have managed some of the greatest players of all-time. Jose Mourinho is a Premier League champion x3, La Liga winner, Serie A winner x2, Portuguese Liga winner x2, Champions League winner x2, UEFA Cup/Europa League winner x2 and a total of 8 domestic cups – making him […]
Since the turn of the century, the English Premier League has largely been dominated by the two giants in the north – and we’re not talking about Liverpool. Manchester, red or blue, have been responsible for 11 title wins since the beginning of the 2000/01 season – more than any other city in the country. […]
