It’s all relative and in the grand scheme it’s clearly thoroughly stupid to call Leicester losers just days after they won the FA Cup for the first time in their history. But strap in, because that’s what we’re about to do. Stupid like a fox. Leicester fans will, for the most part, still be pretty […]

“You all have to calm down… it’s winding up people,” Jurgen Klopp said before kick-off, expecting the people who care so much about the game that’s his life to stop protesting against those who tried to take it away from us and him. A frenzied Liverpool display to drop points in the race for Champions League […]

Barcelona are obviously and literally the big losers. Yet Daniel Levy must have felt a tinge of regret watching Mauricio Pochettino soar. In the most literal sense, obviously Barcelona were the big early losers. They quite literally lost 4-1. At home. They are most likely out of the Champions League again, and at the […]

It’s February and holidays are currently illegal. Yet Crystal Palace still appear to have found their way to the beach. The Eagles’ performance in the 3-0 home defeat to Burnley carried all the hallmarks of a team already on their jollies. A home win could have taken Roy Hodgson’s side to the fringes of the […]

There, if we needed them, were all the reasons why Manchester United could win the Premier League title. And yet further evidence why they absolutely won’t.
