tion Norwich City's Premier League status slipped even further away on Friday evening as Southampton cruised to a comfortable 3-0 victory at Carrow Road. The first half was a real stop-start affair. Norwich enjoyed plenty of possession early on, but it was Southampton who created the best chances. Danny Ings struck the crossbar after 33 minutes, but neither goalkeeper was really tested during the first 45. Ings remained the danger man in the second half and needed just four minutes to open the...

It was always going to be a difficult task for Manchester United to replace departing goalkeeper Peter Schmeichel in 1999, but when they finally found their replacement, he was well worth the wait.

French World Cup winner Fabien Barthez never quite settled, a young Tim Howard seemed too green for the role, and...

There were some real holes in this team which needed filling. However, amid all the despair and uncertainty, one man stood up and commanded the role of Real's talisman -...

There is a certain stigma attached to footballers plying their trade north of the border. Immediately there is an assumption that no matter how well they're performing, how many clean sheets they've kept or regardless of how many goals they've notched, we have to be reminded 'that it's just the Scottish Premiership'. All the players performing well in Scotland come with an unjust caveat. They're good over there, but probably won't be here. While unjust, it's not necessarily untrue. There is no...

It has evolved over the years with minor updates, but the underlying rule is that foreign-born players with no ties to England cannot become naturalised and play.
