It’s not really a déjà-vu but it feels like one.Wolfsburg is going to the Nou Camp, Chelsea is going to Wembley and we are left dealing with our regrets and recriminations.

Once one of the Premier League’s finest teams, […]
Former Arsenal forward Danny Welbeck celebrates his 30th birthday today. Welbeck was a hardworking, likeable and perhaps underappreciated player. Remember that dramatic, do-or-die goal against Leicester City? That’s what Welbeck was all about. Sadly, injuries to an extent tarnished his career. A trip down a Welbeck themed Memory Lane. Signed from Manchester United in September […]
