Ruthless Fergie showing his rivals how it's done... again

Sir Alex Ferguson made history last May by helping Manchester United win their 19th League crown, will his early rampage through the transfer market help United towards their 20th title next season?

Last season Manchester United won their 19^th League title to surpass bitter rivals Liverpool’s total of 18, giving the Manchester United fans the bragging rights over their arch-rivals, they could now claim that they are the best club in English history. When Sir Alex Ferguson took over at Manchester United twenty five years ago, not even the most die-hard fan could have hoped for Manchester United to achieve so much in such a short space of time, it’s hard to believe that the man who has brought all this success to the Manchester club was one game away from getting fired, his FA Cup win in 1990 is often touted as the game that saved his Manchester United career.

Madrid announcement alerts English clubs

Diego Forlan appears to be coming back to England, with Tottenham leading the race for the Uruguayan striker. Is this the man to help Tottenham regain their place in the Champions League?

I was somewhat surprised this week when Atletico Madrid revealed that Diego Forlan would be allowed to leave the Spanish club this summer. My understanding was that he was a very good player, and while he is getting on a bit at the age of 32, I felt he was a key player in the setup at Atletico. It also seems strange considering that Sergio Aguero has come out publicly and said that he wants to leave the Spanish club this summer; this could potentially leave them without what have been their two main strikers at the start of next season, maybe a major reshuffle is on the cards at Atletico Madrid.

Big Sam brings hope back to the Hammers

Kevin Nolan's move from Newcastle to West Ham is a strange one, does he lack ambition? Or is he doing it to help out an old friend?

This week saw Kevin Nolan move from Newcastle United to West Ham United in a three million pound transfer, this is great business for West Ham, I’m sure many of their fans will be delighted, but I’m pretty sure they’ll be just as confused as every other football fan in the country is as to why Nolan wanted the transfer. Kevin Nolan had helped Newcastle through the toughest stage of their recent history, the club were relegated to the Championship, they were in financial turmoil, there was a real possibility that the club could go bust and they had a chairman that nobody liked. Yet Kevin Nolan stuck with Newcastle and managed to help them get promoted, and then comfortably help Newcastle stay in the Premier League the following season, finishing as their top goal scorer with 12 goals from midfield.
