Case Study: Manchester City 2-2 Tottenham Hotspur 18/8/2019

Case Study: Manchester City 2-2 Tottenham Hotspur 17/8/2019

Manchester City continue their title defence with what is the most difficult game of an otherwise relatively easy opening to the season, taking on Champions League finalists Tottenham Hotspur. Pep Guardiola set up his team in a slight alteration to his usual 4-3-3 formation, as Ilkay Gundogan, more of a…

Case Study: Juventus 0-1 Napoli 22/4/2018

Napoli started the season much better, making it look as if Juventus' chokehold on the scudetto would finally be broken, but slowly and surely Juventus' deeper squad saw them claw back the Southern club's lead and give themselves a buffer going into this huge match. With the support of their…

Case Study: Liverpool 4-1 Swansea 29/12/2014

January 3, 2015July 9, 2017 by Joshua Askew
Joshua Askew
After topping the league at Christmas last year, the suggestion that Liverpool would need a healthy win against Swansea to climb above them as they head into 2015 would have sounded ridiculous, highlighting just what a disastrous start to the season Liverpool have had. Still, Liverpool have shown a recent…

Retrospective: Juventus 2-3 Manchester United 1999

With the release of his second autobiography, the football news has been flooded with an abundance of stories from Roy Keane's career. Individually, they are quite amusing - him deciding against signing Robbie Savage when his "whassup" answering machine message reminded him Savage is a terrible human being or the…

World Cup 2014: Germany 1-0 Argentina

July 14, 2014July 9, 2017 by Joshua Askew

As quite possibly the best World Cup of all time drew to a close, we had one last battle still to go. Germany were favourites having handed a historic thrashing to Brazil, but Argentina still looked a good bet after edging out the Dutch on penalties. Neither side were going…

World Cup 2014: Argentina p0-0 Netherlands

July 10, 2014July 9, 2017 by Joshua Askew
Joshua Askew
After the historic events of yesterday, this game was always likely to disappoint, but it still had plenty to offer. If the Netherlands won, they would match up in the final against arch-rivals Germany, while an Argentina win kept alive hopes of a victory on their own rivals' soil. Alejandro…

World Cup 2014: Cameroon 0-4 Croatia

June 19, 2014July 9, 2017 by Joshua Askew

The two teams both lost their opening games of the tournament, but looked like they were playing at different levels despite their similar fortunes. Croatia performed admirably against Brazil and could blame their loss partly on some poor officiating (which Stipe Pletikosa would presumably prefer everyone focus on), while Cameroon…

World Cup 2014: Iran 0-0 Nigeria

June 17, 2014July 9, 2017 by Joshua Askew
Joshua Askew
Two teams lacking in talents, one relying on defensive organisation and the other liking to counter-attack. If there was ever a game to ruin the first round of this World Cup's spotless record of entertaining football, this was it. Yet, initially, it was the opposite. Nigeria went out in their…

World Cup 2014: Brazil 3-1 Croatia

June 14, 2014July 9, 2017 by Joshua Askew
Joshua Askew
At long last, the World Cup kicked off in its most successful nation. With protests still ongoing off-the-pitch, Brazil were hoping to distract from those issues with a worthy performance. The final scoreline had more to do with some suspect officiating (and goalkeeping) than any majesty from a Brazilian team…

Retrospective: Newcastle United 5-0 Manchester United 1996

December 26, 2013September 14, 2017 by Joshua Askew
Joshua Askew
With their recent tribulations, Manchester United fans have been condescendingly reminded of the need for patience, as every set of supporters suffering under a disappointing British manager have heard since the calls for Sir Alex Ferguson's head in 1989. However, while the media have been busy lowering expectations for the…
