This is a league campaign that Southampton fans will be more than happy to see the back of. Sitting 17th in the league having only won five games all season, they have been the least exciting side in the division this season from a neutral’s perspective (and probably Saints supporters themselves). It will go right […] READ MORE

Who is the best of the rest? In a time where transfer fees, for the top six clubs especially, are heavily inflated, it is easy to dismiss the quality of the other 14 clubs. Nonetheless, this list proves that the Premier League is as talented as ever. All six of these players could comfortably slot into the squad of a 'bigger' and better team, even though it appears the gap to the top six is unbridgeable. There is no particular order to this list, and no two players from the same club will be picked to give a fairer representation of the Premier League. READ MORE
