Some People Are On The Pitch. Who will win the title? And who will snatch fourth place? Wednesday, 24 February 2010. The most dramatic title race in the Premier League for years took yet another turn this weekend as current holders Manchester United lost for the sixth time this season after they were comfortably beaten by Everton 3-1 at Goodison Park, but last night they made up for this by beating West Ham 3-0 at Old Trafford. If the teams overall form was to be described in one word then it would be: m...

Some People Are On The Pitch. The transfer merry-go-round has begun. Friday, 16 July 2010. I didn’t think so. At Manchester City the transfer merry-go-round is in full swing, no speculation here – just concrete deals with City having already signed Aleksander Kolarov, David Silva, Jerome Boateng and Yaya Toure bring their collective spend to almost £80million. More and more names have been linked with the club with James Milner and Edin Dzeko being their main targets. Links to this post.

Touchline Views: Arsenal's goalkeeping conundrum
http://touchlineviews.blogspot.com/2010/05/arsenals-goalkeeping-conundrum.html
Some People Are On The Pitch. Tuesday, 18 May 2010. Certainly over the years Arsene Wenger has been praised for his management skills, turning virtually unknown players into potential world beaters. However when it comes to the goalkeeping slot at Arsenal that Midas touch seems to have deserted him as he struggles to find a world class number one. Jens Lehmann, Manuel Almunia, Mart Poom, Vito Mannone, Lukasz Fabianski, Wojciech Szczesny and James Shea. People are more likely to remember your bad points a...

Some People Are On The Pitch. Is the end of the Big Four nigh? Thursday, 29 October 2009. This season’s Premier League title race was billed to be the most competitive in years and it certainly hasn’t disappointed us thus far. The Big Four are no longer the untouchables and with the emergence of new sides like Manchester City, Aston Villa Spurs and Sunderland, their status is under threat especially in regard to Champions League football. Liverpool who only lost twice last term have been beaten four time...

Touchline Views: One to watch: Phil Jones (Blackburn)

Some People Are On The Pitch. One to watch: Phil Jones (Blackburn). Thursday, 6 May 2010. Premier League debuts are always a nerve wracking occasion for anyone but to come up against one of the biggest and strongest centre forwards in the league could easily be the difference between a good debut and bad debut. That certainly is no mean feat when you consider Chelsea have scored seven goals against teams on three occasions this season and have scored 95 goals overall in the league. He was also named man ...

Some People Are On The Pitch. Why the January transfer window should be shut. Saturday, 23 January 2010. Ah, the January transfer window; the time of year when clubs start panic buying in the hope of signing the player(s) that can give them an extra push towards the finish line of the end of the season. We would invent a transfer window system,". Was what Quinn told the club's official website. I personally think that the window should either be abolished totally or extended and is opened up from June ri...

Some People Are On The Pitch. Arsene Wenger - Flawed man or comical genius? Monday, 31 August 2009. Once again Arsenal is making the headlines this weekend for all the wrong reasons, and at the forefront of those headlines is manager Arsene Wenger. In a week that has seen Eduardo in Wenger's words 'witch-hunted';. He found himself at the centre of controversy this weekend. Maybe Wenger will remember next time that the law stipulates the manager must leave the technical area and the vicinity of the field ...
