After years in the wilderness, the Premier League appears to finally be on an upward swing. With a wave of world class managers arriving and those already in place settling in, the quality at the head of the table has greatly improved. Leicester City could come from nowhere to become…

Wonderful story, but one you would never want to actually watch back. While Leicester's rise is incredible, it's worth noting that it simply wouldn't be allowed to happen if the Premier League was any good. It is an embarrassment that the league has been this poor for so long yet…

Premier League 2014/15 awards

What a terrible season. A mediocre Chelsea side comfortably wrapped up the league early, with Manchester City mounting the worst title defence since their last one. The Champions League spots were a foregone conclusion despite those in the hunt all doing their best to throw away their place at every…

After the quite incredible low of last season, brand Premier League needed a shake up if it was going to retain its premier status and the country's top sides went all out to freshen things up. After several decades, Sir Alex Ferguson finally stepped down from his position as the…

While it was lacking in quality, it is impossible to deny that last season was one of the most entertaining in years, culminating in one of the greatest moments since its inception. So what was the response from England's top tier of clubs? To do away with the entertainment and…

Slavek and Slavko were two young boys who lived either side of the Ukrainian-Polish border. The boys shared a love of football and would sneak off to each other's villages to play with one another. When it was announced their countries would host Euro 2012, they were wildly excited and…

While the naming of the 2011/12 as the best Premier League season in the 20 seasons awards seems a poor choice due to the low quality of play, there is little doubt that it has been one of the more entertaining years. The title race, the fight for the last…

One of the most exciting and unpredictable Africa Cup of Nations tournaments in my short life is over so hereâ€™s my own little award ceremony to celebrate. Player of the tournament I always try and think of an alternative to the official player of the tournament but I canâ€™t think…

And the dullest tournament in recent memory award goes to... Player of the Tournament There's several tempo-setting midfielders that could stake a claim, but we are going to have to agree with CONMEBOL and go with Luis Suarez. Uruguay's set-up was geared towards giving him and Diego Forlan a defensive…

Unlike some other sites we wait until the end of the season to do our awards. This was meant to go up on Sunday afternoon though, so we're also clearly much lazier. Swings and roundabouts. Enjoy. Player of the Season Looking through the candidates, there's no one obvious player who…
