It seems like Arsenal vs Manchester City is becoming the best rivalry of the modern Premier League.
Flying Kiwis – January 19
Interesting stuff from West Ham and manager Sam Allardyce, who left Winston Reid on the bench for the game against Hull City this week. Preparing for an imminent departure…? Nah. He was just injured.
Mourinho's Notebook - January 16
FIFA’s annual pat-on-their-own-backs award show was held this week with all of the pretentiously inward celebration that you’d expect of the dictators of the world game.
The Asian Cup With Ze Phibber - Straya vs Oman
I have never been in a country whilst a relatively big time football cup has been played and shit it is exciting. I managed to make it out to the Australia v Oman game and boy was it entertaining.

You’ve gotta hand it to Southampton, man. People keep writing them off, asking how long can they keep it up, and they just keep on keeping it up.

It's been an interesting season so far for the Wellington Phoenix with a wealth of optimism surrounding the crew from Wellington, which has been well and truly justified.
Ernie! Flipping The Bird All The Way To Third
I reckon this is the result that will put the Wellington Phoenix in a great position to do something special in the A-League this season.
Ernie! Don't Wander Round Here No More

Mourinho’s Notebook – Christmas Special!!!
The festive season has a special place in the football community.
A-League Week 11 With Ze Phibber

It was a battle between All Whites in the Premier League this weekend as Winston Reid’s West Ham hosted Chris Wood’s Leicester City… except that Chris Wood didn’t play.
