Week one of the Premier League started as week 38 of last season finished, more or less, as all the bigger sides picked up points including a wonderful looking Liverpool, a fairly subpar looking Man United, and a Man City that didn’t even have to get out of second gear.

Dan Murphy pops in to ...…

The scoreline in the Champions League semi-final between Liverpool and Roma flattered the Italian club, because while Liverpool's defence fell to the pieces in the second leg, Jurgen Klopp's boys were still definitely the better side overall -- and that's without an assistant manager. Bayern Munich could've done with a bit of luck against Real ...…

After 22 years in charge, Arsene Wenger has announced that he won't be manager at Arsenal come the end of the season, but what does this mean for the future of the club (and Arsenal Fan TV).

Even though we were forced to miss a week, not an awful lot has changed. Man City beat everyone (and are Carabao Cup winners), Arsenal aren't fantastic, oh, and Brighton are pretty decent, too.
