    Five Years: Manchester United

    Taking a leaf from David Bowie’s book, we are looking into the next five years, but for Manchester United alone. What would represent success for them over that period, will they return to the summit, or will there still be five years left to cry in? From an ice-cream parlour, drinking milk shakes cold and long, Rob Fletcher and Alex Ireland look for the answers.

    A decade of 90s football: 1995/96

    Do you reckon that you can’t win anything with kids? Would you love it if the entertainers came through and took a first Premier League title back to Tyneside? Are you in raptures at the arrival of some Ruud sexy football? Do you want to hear everything you ever wanted to know about Juninho but were afraid to ask? Then you’ve come to the right place.

    Is football becoming too data-driven?

    There seems to be a stat for everything those days, but are they truly helpful or is it just a case of lies, damned lies and statistics? And is the fascination with numbers turning football from an art form into a science? Rob Fletcher and Matthew Gibbs have their spreadsheets to hand.

    A decade of 90s football: 1994/95

    A season of chaos, controversy and that kung-fu kick. Eric Cantona takes matters into his own hands at Selhurst Park, leaving newly-signed Andy Cole without a strike partner at Manchester United. Meanwhile, Blackburn's SAS make hay while the sun shines, Joe Royle’s dogs of war win the FA Cup and, all around the land, managers fall on their swords with gay abandon. Meanwhile, there are match-fixing scandals, brown paper bags full of fivers, taxi drivers fearing for their lives, drugs, gambling and plenty more. Yes, it’s 1994/95.

    Mental health in football: is there anything we can do?

    Is there too much pressure in football for anything to be done about health and welfare? From the demands placed on managers to the strain put on kids from the age of eight in football academies, while we might talk a good game about mental health, is there really anything we can do to protect it in perhaps the most high profile industry in the world?
