Well I hope everyone enjoyed the Super Sunday we were all treated to yesterday, with Man City’s game against Spurs being the highlight of the weekend. But funnily though it wasn’t the result which grabbed all the headlines, it was the apparent kick from Mario Balotelli on Scott Parker that was the major talking point. The second half produced...

I did however watch the Arsenal games and couldn’t believe that Vermaelen received a yellow when Koseilny fouled one of the QPR players in the previous match. Then again it...

The mid-week games brought us plenty of talking points. Blackburn’s match against Bolton classed as a six pointer was a nervous game for both teams, who are struggling at the bottom of the table.

Yesterday England got some good luck with the news that striker Wayne Rooney’s 3 match ban would be reduced to only 2 games. The FA’s appeal that the striker’s punishment was too harsh was accepted by UEFA.
