So yesterday we went through the prospects for the teams from Burnley to Hull, today its Liverpool through to Stoke. Obviously this also covers two of the more interesting topic of discussions from the summer – the two teams from rainy Manchester.

By: Rob |

How much is the move for? Well, £17m. [...]

By: Rob |

1 Comment

Predictions are a fool’s game. The beauty of this game we watch is that its like a soap without a script – you never know what’s going to happen. Take Newcastle for instance, after a 1-1 draw at Old Trafford how many would have predicted the disastrous season they’ve endured? Not I, and neither would [...]

There aren’t many details, but according to Wiki he found out from an internet forum. Imaginitive.
Presumably that wasn’t [...]
