The moment we've all been dreading is finally upon us. The league season is on hiatus until the small affair of the World Cup is taken care of. Before we can switch our attention in earnest to the World Cup, we need to put a bow on the first three/eights of the league season. Most teams have played 15 games and Arsenal sit upon the throne of the Premier League, five points clear of the former cham...

Since our last review, seventeen games have taken place in the Premier League. Teams that were languishing in the relegation zone just a few weeks ago have strung together a few results and now sit safely mid table, while others have gone in the opposite direction.

Most leagues are really pressing on to get as many games played before the World Cup break starts in just a few weeks. This resulted in what was was a fairly light week for news around our beautiful game.

With ten games in the books for most clubs, its time for us to start critically looking at the League Table.

A surprisingly strong Brighton will see third place Tott...

With Bruno Lage sacked at Wolves, RCR is again asking for your forgiveness for thinking we had any place assuming we knew who would be the next manager sacked in the Premier League. Not to be deterred, the boys will again speculate, in what Brad dubbed 'The Rodger's Watch', which manager will be next in the firing line. Also, with UEFA competitions back in full effect this week, RCR reviews/previe...
