Sunday, to the indifference of an entire nation, comes the second (after the equally meaningful chairty/community shield) chance to win silverware this season. Lets be honest, its absolutely meaningless (unless you’re playing Football Manager!) The winner gets a UEFA Cup spot (or as it will be next season the Europa League) but as Manchester United [...]

It seems odd to those that remember them breaking through in the mid-1990s as “Fergie’s Fledglings” (a slightly cack-handed reference to the Busby Babes of course), but Alex Ferguson is now describing the likes of Gary Neville, Paul Scholes and Ryan Giggs as the “Old Guard”.

Last week, I did a post explaining what I thought was needed at Stamford Bridge – mainly, a big makeover. Root out the complacency, build a new team.

I’m not going to rehash over the details of Scolari being sacked. We all know why, pretty much, and Rob has covered it fucking brilliantly over the past few hours. Props to Rob for that.
