So right now its a little slow in soccer land thanks to yet another Interlull (© Arseblogger). Yeah international matches are usually interesting, and it can be exciting when a player has a breakout performance for their country. We’re right in the heart of the season though, and you’re telling me we’ve got to take [...]

So we’ve already looked at the top, but what about the bottom of the league? This season is one of the tightest at the bottom of the Premier League in recent memory. Currently nine teams sit within the relegation zone or very close to it, and two are probably clear of the zone, but don’t [...]
