Always thought Kasper Schmeichel would never live up to his dads name. When he went to Nott's County and then Leeds I thought I was right... Fingers crossed he wins the League and is able to step out of his dad's shadow a bit, he's an outstanding keeper in his own right.

I went to watch Sheffield united vs Birmingham a few years ago (my dads a Blade so the tickets were free.) I remember before the game thinking the Birmingham fans were so loud, absolute amazing support! That is until they started throwing coins...bloke sat two seats away from me got struck...

Never got to see him play. Consider him a legend all the same and like the OP said Barcelona wouldn't be where they are without him.

It'll be a shock with how much they've spent if they don't get top four. In all honesty its a shock that they've not really been involved in the title race over the last few months. All the talk about Leicester, Tottenham and Arsenal, City look to be happy to skate through this season. Probably...

Have Everton fans changed their opinions of Martinez after tonight's game? They played so much better after half time and looked lively up front and uncharacteristically solid at the back except for that one scare where Costa rolled it across the face of goal. I wrote a blog post about it and...

You're only saying that cause they beat your lot last night. Don't worry, they could've beat Man United 10-0 yesterday, Man United are still a much bigger club than Liverpool.

For me a big club is about 60% current situation, 30% fan base and about 10% history. Liverpool known for is a big club for its fan base but its current situation puts them on the same level as West Ham and Stoke. Just mid table drifters... And obviously Liverpool's history speaks for itself haha.

Gonna give these a watch when I get home from work. Always a good side to manager on FM. Best of luck

I knew full well someone would say Ashley haha

I wrote a blog post about the Swansea City's chairman and how he's played a part in getting them from the bottom division to the Premier League. http://thepenaltyking.blogspot.co.uk/2016/03/how-to-be-football-chairman-101.html It got me thinking who is the best chairman in the league? I'm...

I can see them going down, coming straight back up, first season back getting mid table and then Ashley will sell their best players and not replace them... They'll be back in this situation in about 3/4 years if Mike Ashley is anything to do with the club.

Some times I just think that a player will see his bank balance, £20,000 rolling in every week and he'll just assume he's "made it" He's played 2 games, that kind of wage could potentially be damaging on his career at this stage. Look at Berahino, signed a £15,000 a week contract and then...

Can't believe I actually watched all this video haha. But all I saw in it was Toure playing simple little passes and then not looking for a return. Ocassional runs but by the end of the video he looked fucked and completely uninterested. I think Lee Cattermole could do just as good a job in that...

Is it too soon to offer an 18 year old a wage like that? His career has started bright but we've seen it happen with so many players in the past and watched them crumble to nothing, getting rejected by League two teams and such... I wrote a bit about it in my blog...

I see where you're coming from but the amount of times I've seen him just strolling through games giving no option, not wanting the ball and frankly not being interested is beyond a joke in my opinion... He did the same thing in the League Cup final the other day, lackadaisically wandering...
