Fergie's Chewing Gum - December 2
Despite selling half their team to Liverpool over the summer, somehow Southampton were sitting in second place coming into this weekend. That changed in a hurry when Manchester City came to town.

Well, this is a strange season, isn’t it? Manchester United are into the top four, yet just 2 points ahead of tenth, while Southampton are second and Liverpool in the bottom half. Go figure.

Fergie's Chewing Gum - October 21
Goals, goals, goals. 40 of them in England, the most in any round this season. Where do we even start?

It’s Arsene vs Jose. On the field and off it.

It’s one of the most heated rivalries in football. Liverpool vs Everton: The Merseyside Derby. And this year it was even more important given the poor start that each of them is off to. The points here were crucial.

It was an outrageous day in Leicester as Man United came to town. Early on it was all red as Robin Van Persie opened his season account and then Angel Di Maria scored a sublime chip over the keeper. However the usual...

The international break may have tested the patience of football fans all over but after the long, aching wait things kicked back off with a bang.

Happy times for the home nations. With the exception of Wales (who start their quest tomorrow in Andorra), all of the British nations had encouraging results to begin their European Championship qualifying campaigns.

The Dreaded International Window. We all hate it because it comes right after deadline day and we want to see those hot new signings kitting up for our clubs and then they make us wait an extra week so England can stumble to a win over Norway at Wembley. At least these internationals have given us some top moments to savour.
Fergie's Chewing Gum - September 2
A lot has happened since the weekend matches though it was only two days ago. But before we had Falcao or Welbeck in London we had Liverpool dealing to Spurs and Manchester United getting blanked by Burnley.

The iconic Frank Lampard has retired from international football, right before he treks off to America for his New York adventure. He finishes with 29 goals in 106 caps. Congrats Frankie, even if your England career never rewarded you the way you deserved, it wasn’t for lack of talent or effort.

Manchester City vs Liverpool was at the top of the bill this weekend. With Mario Balotelli watching on from the stands as his new team clashed with his old team, it started out as a fairly even affair. However...

Sometimes these transfer sagas last for months of bartering and negotiation. Sometimes it only takes a week or so to work out the specifics. And sometimes they emerge like a bolt from the blue.
Fergie’s Chewing Gum – August 22
This one took off in a hurry last night and it seems like it’s already set in stone. Mario Balotelli will join Liverpool for something around £16m from AC Milan, pending a medical. Allegedly LFC are putting a ‘good behaviour’ clause in Mario’s contract. Probably because of things like this...

Ah, football. Our faithful supplier of goals and drama. Welcome back, friend, we’ve missed you.
Transfer Chewing Gum - August 19
We learned plenty of lessons in the first week of the Premier League. None more so than the fiasco at Old Trafford, where three debutants were forced to start and Nani ended up playing 45 minutes despite being allegedly axed (along with Anderson and Zaha) from all first team activities as the club prepare to sell him.
Transfer Chewing Gum – August 12
Just a few days to go until the season begins and squads are taking their final shape. But there’s still time for teams to make that marquee signing that’ll make all the difference.
