He might create a headline or two for the wrong reasons, but Diego Costa’s performance against Paris Saint-Germain reminded us what a bloody good football player he is. Having drawn Chelsea level on the night with a brilliant equaliser, Costa was withdrawn just short of the hour mark with an injury. Understandably, losing their largest attacking […]

There’s been plenty said about Chelsea’s decision not to offer 35-year-old John Terry a new contract. But after the opening stages of their Champions League second leg against Paris Saint-Germain, their captain’s absence from the heart of their defence was clearly felt. Adrien Rabiot opened the scoring for the French champions after sixteen minutes, making […]

Arsenal fans – or at least those that choose to vent their feelings on Twitter – have been a right bunch of moaners lately. In fairness, you can kind of see where they’re coming from.

Olivier Giroud was in the right place to capitalise on a Hull City error to give Arsenal the lead at the KC Stadium.

Arsenal finally made a breakthrough against Hull City, after 130 minutes of football. Unfortunately for Hull, the goal was completely avoidable. Captain David Meyler played a ball across his own area without looking, straight into the path of the French striker. A terrible mistake from Hull’s point of view, but Arsenal won’t be complaining. Giroud […]

For generations, Manchester United fans have been taunted about their not-so-local supporters. Successful spells under Sir Matt Busby and, more recently, Sir Alex Ferguson have ensured that the club’s fan base has swelled far beyond Manchester’s city limits.
