This week @AmyEustace ponders Wayne Rooney’s Old Trafford future following David Moyes’ appointment as Alex Ferguson’s successor. If, like me, you’re one of the many football fans who have never known a world in which Fergie doesn’t stalk the Old Trafford touchline, chomping gum, chewing out referees and dictating the ebb and flow of injury […]

Amy Eustace on Friday: Everton aren’t impressive, just plain boring
As Rebecca Black correctly points out ‘It’s Friday, Friday, got to get down on Friday’. That’s all well and good but before we ‘get down’ @AmyEustace is getting her claws out and ripping into ‘boring boring’ Everton… The Merseyside Derby is worth its attendance in column inches. Generally the majority of those inches are taken up by the […]
Amy Eustace: Why Liverpool should use ‘the nutcase defence’ for Luis Suarez
It’s Friday. Divert your mind from alcohol and take time to consider why @AmyEustace thinks Liverpool’s best course of action could be to take this one on the chin… Moments of madness are hardly unheard of in football, but they usually at least follow some sort of provocation, like when Marco Materazzi’s insults earned him a […]
Amy Eustace on Friday: Dortmund the poster boys for Rodgers’ revolution
It’s Friday at the time of writing this sentence and that can mean only one thing – apart from all those other things. It’s Amy Eustace’s Friday column and this week she examines what European football clubs could learn from Dortmund’s ascent. Every so often German football undergoes a pseudo renaissance, where the world stops […]
Amy Eustace on Friday: The PFA awards are just a glorified popularity contest
It’s Friday at the time of writing this sentence and that can mean only one thing – apart from all those other things. It’s Amy Eustace’s Friday column and this week she puts some perspective on the Professional Footballer’s Association (PFA) Awards. If football was one of those clichéd American teen movies, the PFA Player of […]
Amy Eustace on Friday: Rafa can be thankful for radical nationalism
In the first of a new Friday Premier League football column, Amy Eustace talks Di Canio, hand grenades, and good news for Arsenal fans. This weekend’s tie between Chelsea and Sunderland at Stamford Bridge is a veritable microcosm of Premier League drama as we know it. Between Rafael Benitez’s flip-flopping fortunes as interim manager at […]
Change for Arsenal is terrifying but how long can Wenger ride this wave of goodwill?
@AmyEustace asks how many trophies must elude Arsenal before a new manager stalks the touchline at the Emirates… By now, there must be enough dust in the trophy room at the Emirates to block out the light from the sun. Arsenal fans certainly don’t need reminding of the fact – it’s the abiding theme of every […]
Is it time for Liverpool to cut the cord with Steven Gerrard?
With every year that passes, we grow closer to losing another of football’s greats. Legends come and go, and heroes are replaced, but few have etched a legacy for themselves in a club’s history with as much grace as Steven Gerrard has in his Liverpool career. Few will be quite as hard to let go. […]
Will bullish Benetiz lock horns again or can Rafa really reign supreme at Chelsea?
So, the inevitable has come to pass. Rafael Benitez, Champions League winner turned stay-at-home blogging whizz, has found a job again after two years in the proverbial wilderness. Not just any job, either. Never one to stray from the path of blind ambition, Benitez accepted the very epitome of a poisoned chalice: the Chelsea manager […]
Liverpool kids can teach old dogs new tricks
Liverpool are no strangers to headlines lately, usually for all the wrong reasons. With Luis Suarez finding the floor more often than he finds the net and a litany of public relations gaffes, sometimes it’s more like watching a gag reel than reading about a professional football club. Needless to say, there haven’t been many […]
