Looks like there's a typo in your question... It says Norwich City instead of Arsenal.

As a Norwich resident, I do hope they do well in all but two of their fixtures this season though.

As for Norwich City players, I think Nathan Redmond looked lively and exciting to watch last season. Let's hope he keeps … Read more

Cool question mate! I am not a Chelsea supporter, but from what I have seen the previous season from Jose Maurinho's team and from what his nearest rivals showed, I believe it will be another year of blue domination in the Premier League and another cup in the collection of the Portugal coach. 

I don't … Read more

I have to put up a little defence here for soccer - or football as we call it here in the UK.

My favourite football team is Norwich City - known as the Canaries. They play in yellow and green.

They've just been promoted to the English Premier League following an exciting play-off final … Read more

It looks like Neymar does have Snapchat. Take a look at this for example...

There are a couple of other pictures like this on the internet, which suggests that this is Neymar Jr's real Snapchat account.

The thing about Snapchat though... Is that it's a social network that isn't really intended for communicating with strangers.

Adding celebrities … Read more

Football -  is what we call the 'beautiful game' in England and  also in most of the world, including Europe, South America, Africa and Asia and Australia.  It's a game of great skill played by two sides of 11 players for two periods of 45 minutes. I understand that it gets the name 'soccer' as … Read more

Well - I'll be there watching and I expect a convincing win too - however - I think everyone needs to cool the speculation about 'automatic promotion'. Alex Neil has said that it will take a lot of hard work and team spirit.  I see an improvement but we are still vulnerable at the back.  … Read more

It's highly unlikely that Christiano Ronaldo will rejoin Manchester United at any point in his career, never mind next season.  Although he's obviously fond of the club that saw him rise to stardom, there would be no point in him making a return.  Here's why.

Difference in class

Since joining Real Madrid, … Read more

Mesut Ozil is without a shadow of a doubt a very talented footballer, although I do personally think that he's slightly overrated by Arsenal FC supporters in particular.

I think the reason for this is because Arsenal FC have very rarely spent large sums of money on individual players when … Read more

Wages in the Scottish Premier League differ vastly from those in the English Premier League. The richest team by far is of course Celtic, where their top earning players are thought to earn just shy of £30k per week.

Compare this with the highest earning players in England, where the highest paid player is Falcao,Read more

In Chelsea's history there have been surprisingly few Spanish players, and all but one of them have appeared for the club in the last 4 years. 

Traditionally Chelsea favoured homegrown players, and it is only really since the arrival of Roman Abramovic that the influx of players from overseas began.

That said, the Spanish players who have … Read more

Hi James. I think it depends what sort of academy you are trying to get in to. In terms of professional football, academies are usually for younger footballers before they are old enough to turn professional. Players are picked up from a young age and developed through the clubs academy before either being offered a … Read more

My thoughts on run through banners when playing against panthers are as follows:

  • Pound the panthers (my personal favourite as it can be taken two ways)
  • Pickle the panthers
  • Paddle the panthers
  • Pain the panthers
  • Pelt the panthers
  • Paddle the panthers
  • Pink the panthers
  • Pick on the panthers
  • Panthers lack passion
  • Prevent the panthers

I think Ozil is a great player, but hasnt been used in his correct position.

Arsenal really need a strong defensive midfielder to take the pressure off players like Ozil. That way, he can focus on what he does best, getting the ball and distributing perfect passes that lead to goals.

Also important to remember, Ozil is … Read more
