Who are the top ten most effective Premier League managers ever? This article shows them all and gives you a glimpse of their career managing the best teams of the Premier League. Only those who managed 38 games or more are included.

Manchester United supporters are England’s Sexiest Football Fans, according to new research. Female followers of Fergie’s boys, who boast Corrie star Kym Ryder and telly presenter Zoe Ball among their number, were voted the country’s best looking by 1,500 male fans.

Last year FC Barcelona won the Champions League for the fourth time in its history and the third time since 2006. The Catalan club first won the trophy at London’s famous Wembley Stadium in 1992 when the so-called “Dream Team” assembled by Johann Cruyff beat Italians Sampdoria 1-0.

I watched in horror last weekend as Stephen Ireland committed what can only be described as a heinous crime: he appeared to be wearing a wig. Call me old fashioned, but toupees are only acceptable for the bald and the ginger.

It was inevitable that there would be a backlash from the press as regards England’s ignominious exit from a relatively weak group and so it has begun. The usual scapegoat making has begun in earnest. The usual excuses would be flying left, right and centre. England did not qualify for the Euro 2008 for a variety of reasons and some of which may surprise you as a reader.

World Cup champion Italy need to win both games to clinch a spot at Euro 2008 tournament in Austria and Switzerland. Italy is currently third in Group B with 23 points, one point behind Scotland and two behind France.

Gilberto Silva today said that, despite not being a regular starter this season, he remains happy at Arsenal and has no intentions to leave.

When you lose to 4 of the biggest clubs in England, and a last gasp goal at Reading, apparently you deserve the sack. Could anyone else have done better? Doubt it. Read why the sacking of Chris Hutchings was a shameful reflection of how Premier League boards treat their managers.

There’s a saying: ‘Money can’t buy you happiness’. If you’re a football club owner with the biggest budget on the market you can buy best players, that can make you happy. Now, if those players do not make you good profit, would that not make you happy? Not if you are a billionaire, what are millions in compare to billions.

Not even xmas and another major managerial casualty in the shape of Martin Jol. Who will be the next manager of Spurs and who will be next for the chop!

The ‘let’s be able to stand on the terraces’ has reared it’s head again recently. Should we or shouldn’t we have a certain amount of standing room at certain football clubs?

October 24th marks one year since Dennis Wise and Gus Poyet agreed to take over as the Leeds United management team at Elland Road. Its fair to say that Leeds fans were very skeptical when chairman Ken Bates brought them in.

Leeds United seem to be the forgotten team. Even though they have had incredibly bad luck in recent years – nearly going out of existence, tumbling down the tables and being deducted fifteen points this season – they are slowly and quietly restering some pride at Elland Road.

Now that the season is in full swing do we get a clearer picture of whats happening? Do we know who are going to win the leagues? And how about England…? Let’s see…

I have got many comments on videos I have on different sites. Here I will talk about what they ask and what football freestyle is good for!

Political correctness is an admirable concept. I warmly applaud any school of thought that helps keep Jim Davidson off the telly. But while the PC philosophy is sound in theory; in reality, it’s beginning to spiral out of control.

The wife has got to make a deal out of everything. When giving birth, most women are in and out in a few hours with minimal whining, but the wife had to have ‘complications’. I can’t remember the exact excuse she gave for her extended three-day stay, I think it was something like a rupture, a breach, or the bed had collapsed.

A brief article about what football freestyle is. The pros of today will also be mentioned!

Football shirts continue to be a massive talking point amongst fans and since clubs make so much money out of their replica kits, it’s about time fans had their say.

Chelsea players are being a little bit naughty in constantly haranguing the referee. John Terry is the worst culprit, he’s definitely the master baiter. You have to like the 3/10 for a Chelsea win against Pompey; they’ll win with a little something in hand.

How do you get all of your players feeling that they have a role to plat and are important to the team as a whole? Maintaining Team Spirit is often a big challenge for any coach, particularly of junior players who have not reached the maturity and don’t have an understanding of the importance of the team.

The next generation. As Arsenal approach the start of the season, the team is brimming with confidence since the two pre season cup wins in the Emirates Cup and Ajax Cup.

David Beckham was officially ‘unveiled’ at MLS side LA Galaxy this week. An unveiling surely is a surprise; the revealing of something behind a shroud of secrecy, as when an artist ‘unveils’ their new painting at an exhibition, or when Seb Coe unveiled the logo for the 2012 Olympics.

How To Head in Football

‘I refuse to shy away from the difficult questions. Why is it that Jose Mourinho can be arrested for harbouring a potentially dangerous dog, yet Lenny Henry roams the streets with impunity?’ As usual, the easily offended should steer clear.

Head up for awareness. All Players should always be scanning the field first while carrying the ball while glancing down at the ball through the bottom of your eyes. Players must be aware of opponents, teammates, and field space. Players should have the ability to hold the ball close and able to keep close control of the ball in order to quickly change directions or move the ball away from any defender.

If ever there was a match that Chelsea probably didn’t want after exiting Europe in such dismal fashion on Tuesday night, it would be away from home against their huge London rivals Arsenal. With the very real possibility that this could be the weekend Chelsea relinquish their Premiership Champions crown if they lose and Manchester Utd win their match, this has all the makings of a good old-fashioned humdinger.

I’m pretty sure that Prince Philip supported the Gunners in last season’s Champions League final; I heard he wrote a note saying ‘Get it done in Paris.’ As usual, the easily offended should steer clear.

With 3 English teams still in with a chance of making it to the Champions League Final in Athens now is the time for the supporters to start planning their trip to the final.
