Bournemouth Vs Manchester United Preview

Man united arrive at Dean Court Stadium after being eliminated from the Champion's League after a 3-2 defeat to Wolfsburg. Bournemouth are in good spirits after heaping more misery on champions Chelsea last weekend.Despite fairly poor results Bournemouth have been frequently praised for their exciting attacking performances. United have had the opposite with many boring draws, and Van Gaal is under pressure to improve. Bastian Schweinsteiger has been banned for 3 games for hitting out at Winston Reid in the draw with West Ham.Smalling who has been impressive defensively this season is likely to miss the match after picking up a knock in mid-week. Howe has an extensive injury list and despite Murray's goal last week he is expected to have an unchanged line up from the team that beat Chelsea. Player to Watch Josh King used to be a Manchester United player but failed to play a single first team game. He's produced good performances this season and his pace and intelligent

Manchester United Vs. Wolfsburg

Manchester United face the possibility of bot qualifying for the knockout stages of the Champion's League if they fail to beat Wolfsburg. United have failed to show cutting edge this season with their 0-0 draw with West Ham being their sixth 0-0 this season.This points towards defence a strong defence, with Chris Smalling having a good season and De Gea also performing well. Despite this the lack of goals and slow, boring style of play are a major worry.Wayne Rooney has been ruled out of the tie with an ankle injury but on recent form this isn't a big miss. Wolfsburg don't have any of these problems. Bas Dost and Max Kruse have been regular goalscorers. In addition to this they've won both their home games in the Champion's League so far keeping clean sheets. They will be wanting to bounce back after their 29 game unbeaten run at home was brought to an end by Dortmund. Player To Watch Bastian Schweinsteiger has not been at his best since joining united in the sum

Aston Villa Certain For Relegation?

This season Aston Villa's results have been nothing short of dreadful. As a result they find the self at the bottom of the table, adrift of  19th place Sunderland by 6 points. It seems that after unconvincingly surviving relegation last season Villa didn't learn their lesson. They failed to improve their squad, although Gestede looks to have been a decent acquisition he has failed to fill the void left by Christian Benteke. Adams TraorĂ© is a player with bags of potential but so far this season has showed very little. Ron Vlaar failed to agree a new contract with the club in the summer and his absence is clear as Villa have one of the worst defences in the league conceding 28 goals.There are glimpses of hope for Villa fans. Despite his questionable behaviour off the pitch Jack Grealish has the ability to change a game and Jordan Veretout has produced some good performances. Remy Garde has a struggle on his hands. Usually when a new manager arrives at a club there is a honeymoo

Liverpool Vs Southampton Preview

The league cup quarter finals puts Liverpool against Southampton on Wednesday evening. Southampton will be looking to bounce back strongly after defeat by Man City at the weekend and become stable after inconsistent form in the league.They have performed well so far in the cup with a comprehensive 6-0 demolition of MK Dons and a decent 2-1 win over Villa. Liverpool will be looking to win the league cup.Although, a top four finish will be their priority,Liverpool have not won any silverware since 2012 and a cup win would only raise spirits further after the club has been lifted by the appointment of Jurgen Klopp.Liverpool look good value for victory only having suffered 1 defeat under Klopp so far. With Coutinho rested against Swansea he looks certain to return for the league cup clash.Sturridge and Henderson both made cameos in that game and are likely to start against Southampton to get back to full match fitness. Pelle missed the visit to the Etihad due to suspension but as Southa

Newcastle Vs Crystal Palace Preview

Alan Pardew and Yohan Cabaye will come up against their former club at Selhurst Park.Since Pardew arrived he's managed to turn Palace from a club battling against relegation to a club that has consolidated a position as a decent mid-table side. Despite this they have struggled at home this season and are in a poor run of form, having only got 1 win from their last 5 games. Newcastle on the other hand have been struggling this season and are stuck at the lower end of the premier league table, and have a key players injured in the shape of Jack Colback and Tim Krul. Newcastle's last 2 defeats will not give their fans any hope either as they were beaten convincingly by rivals Sunderland and Leicester City Player To Watch Yohan Cabaye has performed well in the middle of the park for palace and this trend is likely to continue. Not the most spectacular player to watch but he has a respectable goalscoring record and his range of passing is a great benefit for his team Predictio

Liverpool Vs Swansea Preview

Jurgen Klopp will be hoping to continue Liverpool's good run of form, after a convincing 4-1 win over Manchester City and a Europa league win over Bordeaux. Thiswill be made much easier for the reds ifmidfielder Philippe Coutinho is deemed fit to play.Livepool will also be making a late decision over the fitness of Daniel Sturridge. Meanwhile Swansea have not beenas stong only having won 1 premier league game sincethe End of August after an initially promising start to their campaign.In addition to poor results recently Swansea will be missing the presence of ex-Liverpool player Jonjo Shelvey who misses the game through suspension. Liverpool have not lost in their last 7 meetings against Swansea. The Swans have only won 1 of their last 7 premier league away games.The statistics favour a liverpool win. Player To Watch This season Roberto Firmino ha sbeen hot and cold but has played very wellin recent weeks. However, he had a very good performance against City and with Coutinh

Liverpool Vs. Manchester City Preview

Liverpool will be keen to bounce back after their defeat to Crystal Palace before the international break. If Liverpool play the way they did against Chelsea they will cause problems for City especially with Coutinho being in brilliant form.Liverpool are missing Sakho through injuw which is a shame as he has performed much better since the arrival of Jurgen Klopp Manchester City as expected are one of the best performing teams in the league at the moment. Liverpool also receive a boost as Silva is unlikely to be risked and Kompany,Bony and Nasri ruled out.However Sergio Aguero has been deemed fit for the game and he's likely to cause problems for the Liverpool defence despite not playing since scoring 5 against Newcastle United. Although Manchester City have a few injures they still have the strongest squad in the premier league Key Player Philippe Coutinho has the ability to swing this game in Liverpool's favour he's been scoring and creating goals for Liverpool and has

Should Mourinho Go?

Most of us can only imagine the kind of pressure that the managers of top sports teams are under. Pressure from fans and owners to gt results in addition to he constant media scrutiny. Mourinho is one of the best managers in the world having won 2 Champions Leagues and 15 domestic competitions in Italy, Spain England and Portugal. However, Chelsea currently stand 15th in the Premier League and have been knocked out of the Capital One Cup. Chelsea's title defence has been a shambles, but the fans stand beside him and the fact he has lasted this long shows the board must have some confidence in him. Mourinho is often critiqued for his defensive approach to games, but this is easy to defend when they're winning although it can be a bit boring but understandable as results are the most important factor in a teams success. Now Chelsea have found themselves in a run of poor form the pressure on Mourinho has increased. Sacking a manager shows intent and that victory is paramount to

Paris Attacks

The recent attacks in Paris are a horrible act of terrorism made only worse by their lack of direction.The people killed in the attacks are normal people, they have no political motive or desire, they are not celebrities, politicians, activists, but they are peoples Husbands and sons, wives and daughters. Whatever goal these terrorists try to achieve will never be met, actions like this will only make people push harder against them, no country is going to submit to terrorism. France will grieve it's loss, the people taken so cruelly from them, but when the mourning is over she will come back stronger and more determined to stop those who commit these atrocities. Until then the world will keep France in their minds and in their prayers helping in whatever way they can to help France through this difficult period. #PrayForFrance

England Vs. Spain Preview

On Friday the England team travel to Spain for an international friendly. This provides England a chance to test how strong they really are. Despite both teams had disappointing displays during the 2014 world cup exiting at the group stage. But since then England have had a perfect record in European qualifying and Spain have had it rather easy too wining 9 of their 10 qualifying matches. An advantage for England is that Spain are missing a couple of key players in the shape of Sergio Ramos and Isco. Although England may be missing the presence of Sturridge. I believe the key player in this match will be Paco Alcacer, who's been in fine for scoring 5 goals in 5 games for Valencia. Alcacer goals have been a major reason Valencia are performing so well in La Liga at present. The 22-year-old has been linked to top European clubs due to his sterling performances and may be set to leave in the summer. Score Prediction I think the final score will be 1-1 with both managers trying to

Alberto Moreno Vs. Brendan Rodgers

Liverpool left-back Alberto Moreno says he felt "rage" at the start of the season when frequently benched by Brendan Rodgers who favoured Joe Gomez but he feels he has the complete trust of new manager Jurgen Klopp. Rodgers elected to start summer signing Joe Gomez at left-back for the first five games of the season. Gomez performed well in his games and looks like a very astute purchase therefore and despite a strong showing in the Europa League against Bordeaux, Moreno's opportunities were limited But Gomez has since suffered a knee injury, ruling him out for an extended period and Rodgers has been replaced, creating an opportunity for Moreno to perform and get the time on the pitch he wants. However, his defensive weaknesses are frequently exposed particularly with a missed tackle in the build up of play which led to the first goal in the 2-1 defeat to crystal Palace I personally believe that Moreno would be better used as a wide midfielder as less defensive respons

El Clasico

It's looking like Messi is going to be fit in time for El Clasico on the 21st. Although  in recent matches Barcelona have proved that they're more than capable of performing without him, having arguably the greatest playing in the world returning for the match just adds to the spectacle of the fixture. Barcelona have won 7 of they're last 9 games without him and his return can only make the team even stronger. I personally predict that Barcelona will win the match 2-1.

Destiny

I love playing the game but £70 for the DLC, I'm sorry I'm just not ballin' like that. What makes it worse is the fact that you can barely play online multiplayer without it because matches are so hard to find .

10th November 2015

I've been feeling so tired today that I've just laid in bed slept, watched YouTube videos and news stories. Everyday there's a new story from America about s shooting. This time 3 Michigan teens were arrested for potting a shooting at 2 schools. Despite the frequency of these stories America's gun laws haven't changed and I doubt they ever will. The whole concept of owning a gun seems strange to me and I'm happy for that. Britain isn't plagued by gun violence and police brutality. I hope the laws that make obtaining a weapon so easy change in order to save more lives.

Ellie Goulding - Delirium - Review

I've always found Ellie Goulding to have a very unique voice and it is what led me to enjoy her debut album " Lights " so much. However in recent years she has moved away from the indie scene in which she started towards a more mainstream pop style of music. "Delirium" Goulding's latest album is from where she started and shows Goulding to be diverse artist. Her collaborations with Calvin Harris show this, although I'm not a fan of his recent work he has found great commercial success with his recent tracks and with his work on some of the singles on this album the pop elememts are prominent This can definitely be seen in her latest album "Delirium" in which her ethereal voice carries the album which consist of mediocre but very well produced pop beats. The low point of this album for me is "Love Me Like You Do" which although is one of the stronger beats on the album I find the lyrics to be rather simple and slightly repetitive. All
