A little over four years ago, Southampton's two starting full-backs departed for pastures new. Luke Shaw headed for Manchester United. Nathaniel Clyne dropped him off then travelled another 35 miles across the M62 to Liverpool. In subsequent…

Every team can use an N'Golo Kante, can't it? A player who breaks up opposing attacks, hassles and harries foes from the word go, and drives forward when necessary. Arsenal found their Kante this summer in Lucas Torreira. The defensive…

'If you know your history' is a phrase that’s common among the supporters of Everton Football Club. Having that knowledge about days gone by is something that Toffees fans pride themselves upon.

When Everton head into the January transfer window, they'll be keen to get business done. A new striker is reportedly top of their wish list. Before securing that goalscorer, though, they have a more pressing matter. That is acquiring Andre…

Arjen Robben’s retirement sparks the end of an era at Bayern Munich. The Dutch winger recently announced he’ll hang up his boots in 2019 after almost a decade at the club. During a slightly tumultuous phase, his announcement adds…

The MLS Cup plays tonight between Atlanta United and Portland Timbers at 8PM local time, 1AM in the UK. Don't roll your eyes at me. Fair is fair. You stayed up late [or came in early] for Tyson Fury; you can do the same for this title fight.…
