A Sydneysider that has just relocated to Singapore after 8 years in London. Ardent fan of the English Premier League, and will have a slight bias when writing on Manchester United. Also, have a healthy opinion and knowledge on many other sports.

He is playing 3-5-2 today in the US.
Haven’t seen that since any time United went into Fergie time….

Taking the broom to United, Van Gaal has work to do

Why isnt Welbeck being touted as leaving. Oh, because he just scored the first goal under LvG reign….

El-Hadji Diouf & Salif Diao were the Liverpool post world cup flops.
It always happens though. Clubs paying overs after a decent tournament.

Summing up Real Madrid's transfers of summer

The fact that Gilly was almost chosen to start his Test career as a batsmen says it all. He really should have played a lot more tests than he did. Waited far too long in the shadows.

Interesting debate going. Personally it should go to one of the Bayern lot. Personally would love to see Schweinsteiger get the nod.
Has been very much ignored with all the mentions and was exceptional for Bayern this season.

Ballon D'Or: is it time for a new winner?

Pretty sure Sturridge had a very strong finish to last season as well. He has gone past having to prove himself.

Either way, it is very early doors in the season so far and teams will settle and kick on.

All teams being discussed here have new managers at the helm. It will take time for the managers of Unioed, Chelsea, City to settle and make their mark on their new squads.

It really shouldn’t a be a surprise that Arsenal, Liverpool and Spurs have had better than decent starts and the have managers at the helm of squads that they have been with for more than a few months.

Much work ahead for Jose and Chelsea

Shelvey was awesome. Box to box for both sides. His use of the ‘air swing’ in the build up to his goal was sublime.

Excellent and spot on article Oakie.

Personally, Being a non-resident of Australia for some time now and watching from afar, it is simply staggering that these are the main headlines ones sees when all one wants to do is, check latest League results/status/pundits thoughts.

The sad fact is that the likes Blake Ferguson will be snapped up by another side sooner rather than later and the same merry go round will continue to spin.

Finally – I want to know who won the bet.

The NRL should de-register serial dickheads
