We at Football FanCast thrive on fan opinions every single day of the year. We always want to know what supporters are thinking and how they feel about what matters most to them in football.

But we’ve always found it difficult to filter through fan opinions of specific clubs without getting them mixed up with the thoughts of rival fans and other unrelated subjects.

But that was until we were introduced to SportsYapper. The new social network is design solely for sports fans who only want to talk about the sports they love most.

In our case, we only ever want to talk about football. Nothing else interests us and nothing else ever will. So sifting through Twitter and Facebook for a mass collection of specific fan opinions on the walloping Chelsea gave Arsenal on Arsene Wenger’s 1,000th game in charge was a bit of a longwinded and frustrating process. Lots of different hashtags means there are great opinions that are missed all the time.

But with SportsYapper you can find everything in one place. Nothing is lost. If you want to see what Manchester United fans are thinking about David Moyes following their latest defeat, all you have to do is go over to the Manchester United group. There you can find all you need to know. It’s that simple and it’s that affective.

The same goes for any team in any division in any country. It’s football chat at your very fingertips without anything in your way to distract your from what really matters.

SportsYapper also gives your more of a chance to express your opinions. Unlike Twitter, where you are restricted to just 140 characters, SportsYapper allows you 300 in order make getting your point across so much easier.

You can also check in to games while their happening and have real-time banter with other fans who are watching the game. Want to know what Newcastle fans are saying about Alan Pardew’s headbutt? Just check in to that game and see for yourself. No more sifting through irrelevant and quite frankly boring tweets or statuses.

We love SportsYapper because it does everything a football fan asks for online and, as a brand that’s passionate about real fan opinions and live match content through our very own Live Match Centre, there’s really nothing out there worth using if you’re a football fanatic who only ever wants to talk about football.

Southampton fans have been put through the ringer this summer, having already seen three of their top players head for the exit. By and large, the Saints’ fans have taken the exodus with good grace, but it seems the latest man to express a desire to leave has really irked the patient fans.

Liverpool have nabbed both Rickie Lambert and Adam Lallana, and look set to do battle with Southampton over the signing of Dejan Lovren. The Croatian has recently made public his desire to leave the Saints, stating a lack of ambition and direction as his reasons for wanting out.

It’s fair to say the Southampton support haven’t taken his announcement with good grace, accusing Lovren of ‘disrespect’.

Southampton legend, Matt Le Tissier is less than impressed by Lovren’s actions, and has the backing of a number of Saints fans.

As is tradition, many fans took to Twitter to vent their discontent, and here is a snapshot of the reaction.

Last season’s agony was one filled with positivity for Liverpool, who really announced their arrival back at the top of the English game after a period in the wilderness.

The Reds now have Champions League football to look forward to for the first time since 2009, and the added revenue/status has allowed them to get in some top players to fill problem roles and replace departed stars.

So on the whole, how did Brendan Rodgers and his transfer committee handle the big tasks facing them? We at FFC Towers have been looking at their deals to see…

Solving defensive issues

Liverpool’s defensive woes cost them the title last term. Had they had Manchester City’s backline, chances are the Reds would have ended the 24-year wait for the big prize. But with 50 goals conceded, Brendan Rodgers’ men trailed their Sky Blue adversaries by just two points.

Since then the club have invested heavily in the backline, with Dejan Lovren the major buy. The Croatian has been tasked with commanding their rearguard and, bar a few wobbly moments, he’s done a good job. Alberto Moreno also looks to be a good purchase, while Javier Manquillo could replace Glen Johnson on a long-term basis. Rating: 6/10

Replacing Luis Suarez

Last year’s star man and pantomime villain Luis Suarez is no longer a Red, and although it looked unlikely that a high-profile striker would be brought in to replace him, Mario Balotelli was eventually snapped up.

The enigmatic Italian certainly provides the ‘x-factor’ missing without El Pistolero, but he looks unlikely to match the scoring tally the Uruguayan reached without taking penalties, which has been a big part of Super Mario’s impressive stats. Rickie Lambert is also in, but some of the pressure may be put on young Raheem Sterling, who already has two goals in three Premier League games.

Rating: 5/10

Providing Mignolet with competition

Simon Mignolet’s tendency to flap at crosses has become a worrying trend, which made getting a more able backup than Brad Jones in a conundrum for Rodgers.

Even though Sergio Romero was targeted, no alternative stopper was signed, leaving the Belgian firmly embedded as No, 1 with little competition for his role. Free agent Victor Valdes is being talked about, and should he agree a deal he could be available for the winter period, but his knee injury is a worry.

Rating: 0/10

Building for another title push

After the agony of last season, another big push for the top prize is what the fans want, but have Liverpool built for it. With more squad depth the potential is in place, but the sale of Suarez is a massive blow.

Rodgers has started the season well with six points from three games (they lost to Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium), which has created a buzz around Anfield. But the toil of the winter period will reveal much about this Liverpool side.

Rating: 6/10

Coping with Champions League commitments

With nine signings and very few high profile exits, Liverpool’s squad is considerably deeper and better rounded than it was a few months ago.

With Adam Lallana yet to make his debut and Rodgers having already had three good substitute benches to look to in his opening games, all looks pretty rosy for him in terms of rotation. When the Champions League kicks in the depth offered by the likes of Lazar Markovic and Emre Can will become a big factor, and it looks as if a slightly weakened team may be an option for at least two European group games against Ludogorets.

Rating: 9/10

Whenever a manager leaves a football club before the start of the season, it always raises questions about the state and the integrity of said club.

Welshman Tony Pulis left Crystal Palace in August less than 48 hours before the 2014-15 Premier League season began. Questions began to be asked about the state of Crystal Palace football club. The reason Pulis left was due to the failure of Crystal Palace’s attempts to land transfer targets during the summer.

Then began the turmoil. Not only did Palace lose their first two Premier League games of the season, but their new manager search was under fire as well. Malky Mackay had been the favourite to take over at Selhurst Park but as that all went pear shaped after allegations were revealed of him sending sexist, racist and homophobic texts. Those allegations also involved Iain Moody, who resigned from his role of director of sport from Crystal Palace.

After all these setbacks, who ended up being Pulis’ replacement? Neil Warnock, back for a second spell with the club after previously taking charge between 2007 and 2010 before the club went into administration. The day after he was appointed, he brought Wilfred Zaha back to the club on loan from Manchester United, who became a key component in his first game in charge against Newcastle.

In this game at St James’ Park, Palace took the lead twice thanks to a Dwight Gayle goal after 29 seconds and a Jason Puncheon volley later on, but then they had to rely on a Zaha equaliser in stoppage time to finish the game 3-3. The point earned in this game was Palace’s first point of the new season and showed a new kind of fight to stay in this league under Warnock.

Palace were able to create a high number of chances, despite only having 36% possession throughout the game and were strong at finishing when the chances occurred as well. From the 12 shots they had, seven of them were on target, a greater improvement compared to their first two games of the season against Arsenal and West Ham.

However, Palace were still quite aggressive with play and lost possession often and this is an issue Warnock will need to address.

Warnock has attempted to address this issue with the signing of Kevin Doyle and James McArthur on transfer deadline day. The immediate impact of Zaha as well shows Warnock knows what Palace need for the fight to stay in the Premier League.

Warnock’s first home game in charge in the Premier League will come this weekend against Burnley. Hopefully he will have established a playing style he would like to play with this Palace squad, which has more than enough to stay in the Premier League.

Crystal Palace is still one of the favourites to be relegated from the Premier League this season but I think Warnock is the right man to lead them towards survival.

[ad_pod id=’ricco’ align=’center’]

It is quite clear the best striker in the Premier League so far this season has been Chelsea’s Diego Costa. He has taken to English football like a duck to water ever since joining the Pensioners, scoring nine goals in seven league appearances. No player has had the start he’s had since Argentine Sergio Aguero joined Manchester City in the summer 2011 – and scored eight goals in his first five games.

If Costa is the best striker in the Premier League at the moment, who is the second best striker? Here are FIVE players worthy of this name tag.

[ffc-gallery]

CLICK ON ULLOA TO REVEAL THE FIVE

[/ffc-gallery]

[ad_pod ]

[ad_pod id=’ricco’ align=’center’]

Saido Berahino

The 21 year old has had a great start to the season with West Brom. The Englishman has scored five goals from seven league appearances and has earned himself a shot at being called up to the senior squad internationally. Berahino has hit 63% of his 21 shots on target, and has on average three shots per game.

Leonardo Ulloa

The Leicester City striker has made an immediate impact after joining the club from Brighton & Hove Albion over the summer for £8m. He has scored five goals from seven games for the Foxes, including two important goals against Manchester United. Leicester came from 3–1 down to win the match 5–3. The Argentine has had 60% of his 12 shots find the target, averaging 1.7 shots per game.

Sergio Aguero

The Argentine would probably be the only player on this list most people expected to be near or at the top of any best striker list. Out of the five listed, Aguero is the most likely player to get anywhere near Costa’s goal tally for Chelsea. So long as the Argentine can stay injury free for the Citizens. He shouldn’t have any problems scoring 20+ goals this season.

Diafra Sakho

West Ham’s Diafra Sakho has had a slightly less impressive start, but it’s still been a good one and he’s worth including on this list. The Senegalese striker has scored four goals from five league games, taking on average 2.6 shots per game with a shot accuracy of 60% from 13 shots. Since arriving at the Hammers from FC Metz during last summer for £4.4m, he has scored in every game he has started in.

Graziano Pelle

The 29 year old joined Southampton from Feyenoord for £8.8m last summer and has made former Saints and England International Rickie Lambert feel like a distant memory. The most memorable of his Saints goals so far is an amazing winning goal against QPR back in September, helping his side to a 2-1 victory.

With one goal in 10 Serie A appearances, it looks likely that Fernando Torres’ Italian adventure may be a brief one. The Spaniard joined the San Siro giants on a two-year loan deal from Chelsea over the summer, with the transfer appearing to be, effectively, a permanent one with his contract at Stamford Bridge set to end in 2016.

Yet Milan are, according to reports, willing to let him go in January, and Chelsea are believed to be willing to sanction a free deal for the 30-year-old.

With Liverpool struggling, could bringing back a player who once wowed the Anfield crowd be wise? Maybe, and here are FIVE reasons why…

Current crop struggling

Daniel Sturridge, Fabio Borini, Rickie Lambert and Mario Balotelli have managed just two Premier League goals between them this season. Shocking! Okay, the former has been out injured since August, but the tally produced by the quartet as a whole is simply awful, leaving Steven Gerrard and Raheem Sterling as the club’s joint top scorers with three league goals apiece.

Torres was hardly prolific in his spell at Chelsea, but he did at least register superior goals to minute ratio than the majority of Liverpool’s marksmen have this term.

Bargain basement

Reports suggest that Milan are willing to offload the Spaniard, with their desire to get rid so strong that a full on loan termination next month is on the cards. By no means an underpaid star, Torres earns £3.1m-per-season, with no form of fee needed, that cost is one that should be within the Reds’ reach, should they decide to push.

Chelsea may not even kick up a fuss, with the possibility of ‘El Nino’ returning to Stamford Bridge not once Jose Mourinho will be keen on after recruiting three new forwards over the summer after losing patience with Torres.

He was happy at Liverpool

There’s a lot to be said for being happy in the workplace. As the old adage goes, a happy worker is a productive worker, and Torres has not looked truly content since his time at Anfield. The once-prolific forward was, arguably, the best all-round striker on the planet through the late 2000s, with his blend of pace, power and composure making him a danger for even the best centre-backs.

Injuries and ‘that fee’ back in 2011 seem to have wrecked his career, but returning to familiar surroundings and a club he knows has great affection for him – even though a fair few Kopites won’t admit it – may be enough to help the 30-year-old enjoy a few more good years.

Will allow Borini to leave

The fact that Liverpool needed to beat Basel on Tuesday night and Borini was left out of the squad is damning. The Italian was Brendan Rodgers’ first signing upon his arrival at Anfield, yet the once Chelsea and Swansea man appears to be massively out of favour on Merseyside, with his decision to reject a deadline day move to Sunderland or QPR seemingly frustrating for his boss.

A transfer looks to be the best option for all involved, but Liverpool do need another player in to boost their ranks with Europa League action now a reality.

Knows the Premier League

Having spent seven years in English football, Torres knows what the Premier League is all about. Many foreign imports struggle to adapt to the physical demands and the pure amount of competition, which often makes recruiting from abroad a bit hit and miss. After all, for every Diego Costa, there’s an Alfonso Alves!

Torres knows the game, has proven his abilities in the past and is available for next to nothing. Maybe he is worth a punt.

QPR manager Harry Redknapp has stepped downÂfrom his role as manager of the club.

The former Spurs, Southampton and Portsmouth boss offered his resignation earlier today, which the relegation-battling club accepted.

‘Arry joined the club in 2012 and, despite his best efforts, could not stop them slipping into the Championship in the latter halfÂof the campaign.

He oversawÂ105 games at the helm of the Loftus Road side, many of which came on their way to promotion back to the Premier League last season, which was secured with a dramatic play-off final win over Steve McClaren’s Derby County.

He is set to undergo knee replacement surgery in the coming weeks, and Redknapp believes that the Super Hoops need a boss in place who can work closely with the players, which is something he would be unable to do.

In a statement on QPR’s website, the veteran manager said:

“I have had such a fantastic time at QPR. I would like to thank the Board, the players and all my staff, and especially the supporters who have been absolutely fantastic to me since I arrived at the club for their tremendous support.

“Sadly I need immediate surgery on my knee which is going to stop me from doing my job in the coming weeks. It means I won’t be able to be out on the training pitch every day, and if I can’t give 100 per-cent I feel it’s better for someone else to take over the reins.

“My relationship with Tony Fernandes has been one of the highlights of my footballing career and I wish the club every success. I am confident they will survive in the Premier League this year.â€

Chairman Tony Fernandes was also positive about the situation, thanking Redknapp for his work at the club:

“I would like to take this opportunity to thank Harry for everything he has done for QPR during his time in charge.” he said.

“We part on good terms and I would personally like to wish him all the best for the future.â€

Les Ferdinand and Chris Ramsey will take charge of the club on a temporary basis.

Just in case you missed the memo, English football is back in the dark ages.

Following their stunning upset over Exeter City, Warrington Town hooligans flooded onto the pitch in an act of violence, sparking memories of 1980’s trouble. It is of little doubt it marred their victory and there were now calls to remove Warrington from this year’s FA Cup.

Sorry, wrong pitch invasion. The above one was actually reported as ‘jubilant scenes’ and used to highlight the real ‘spirit of the cup.’

Now, of course, the invasion that greeted the end of Aston Villa’s quarter-final with rivals West Bromwich Albion was by no means something to condone. People running onto the playing surface before the end of the game was indefensible. However, the scenes that greeted the final whistle were ones of elation, not anger, ones of celebration, not violence.

It is almost as if the two stories in this year’s tournament are of completely different events. Is it an outpouring of jubilation or an act of hooliganism?

The FA are ready to investigate both Midlands clubs for the incidents in their game. The same FA who will no doubt use footage of Warrington’s invasion for years to come, selling rights and sponsorship off the back of ‘The Magic of the Cup.’

[ad_pod id=’ffc-video-small’ align=’left’]

Aston Villa are in the midst of a truly miserable season, struggling in the lower reaches of the League and a national laughing stock in terms of their ‘goals for’ column. Their victory capped off their best week in several seasons, beating one of their closest enemies twice and booking a trip to Wembley.

Those fans who have taken their seat at Villa Park and been subjected to the dire football their team have produced this year deserve their celebrations. They deserve their moment on the pitch. A trip to Wembley may be a once in a generation event.

Who is to say that a lower league upset warrants more celebration than a big win by a Premier League team in a huge game? The fact that the scenes of utter ecstasy came at the end of only a quarter-final, highlights the struggles Villa have encountered, years of pent up frustration spilling onto the turf at Villa Park.

Now, if the FA is to punish Tim Sherwood’s side it should be for the small minority of idiots trespassing during the game. Not the large scale acts of ‘violence’ reported in the national press.

So now the FA has an important decision to make. Punish Aston Villa and set a precedent for every lower league team’s support that celebrates an unlikely victory by crossing the white lines.

There must be action for the idiots that went over the top, but they were extremely isolated incidents.

Football’s spiral to the dark ages may have been over exaggerated.

[ad_pod id=’ricco’ align=’center’]

Sam Allardyce and everyone involved with West Ham United left White Hart Lane gutted on Sunday. The Hammers squandered a two goal lead, with a last-gasp Harry Kane rebounded penalty giving Tottenham Hotspur a precious point.

Any team that leads 2-0 with ten minutes remaining and leaves with just a point would be naturally devastated. Spurs struggled to deal with Allardyce’s side at times, and were lucky not to fall even further behind. Mauricio Pochettino’s side had to rely on a controversial injury time penalty to get them out of jail.

But it’s the fact that West Ham would have really fancied their chances of getting a positive result at White Hart Lane that’s the difference this year. The Irons may have beaten their London rivals three times last season, but even the most ardent of Hammers’ fans would admit that it was hugely unexpected. However, this season, the way West Ham have played and the results they have produced throughout the campaign just shows how far the east London club have come from last term.

[ad_pod id=’football-friends’ align=’center’]

Despite West Ham enjoying one of their better seasons under Sam Allardyce, it does seem to be a case of no matter where the club finishes this term, he looks more and more likely to be on his way out of the Boleyn Ground in the summer. With the Mail Online reporting that the West Ham board are ready to get rid of Big Sam, and have Michael Laudrup and Frank Rijkaard lined up as possible replacements, it looks as though the 60-year-old boss’ days at Upton Park are numbered.

Sometimes, though, you have to be very careful what you wish for in football. When you really analyse his time in east London, Allardyce has undeniably done a superb job at West Ham. He was initially employed to get the Hammers out of the Championship and back into the Premier League – he did that. Back in the top flight, he has subsequently guided the club to 10th and a 13th place finishes.

The Irons now sit in eight place in the Premier League table, after somewhat tailing off in recent months. But another top half finish would be an excellent achievement by the Hammers boss – setting them up nicely for their last season in the Boleyn Ground.

Allardyce did some superb business in the summer, bringing in the likes of Diafra Sakho, Enner Valencia and Alex Song – amongst many other successful signings. He has turned them into a much better footballing side than what they were at this stage last season.

The protocol at the start of the current campaign would have been survival at all costs. West Ham have obviously done that with ease, but with every good result, the expectation levels have risen slightly.

The club have come an extremely long way this season, and Big Sam deserves an awful lot of credit for that. At present, it’s a very exciting time to be a West Ham fan – and no one man has contributed so much to this as Sam Allardyce.

[ad_pod id=’ffc-video’ align=’center’]

Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly preparing to make an offer for Marseille midfielder Florian Thauvin in the summer transfer window.

The north London club put in an offer for the 22-year-old in January, but his current club rejected the enquiry. Spurs have been keeping one eye on the winger in the second half of the season and have been impressed by what they have seen.

It is believed the French club are now hoping to offload some of their players to raise some well needed funds for the club. Thauvin can also play behind the striker and while Tottenham are interested, they also have competition from Valencia.

Fans opinions on the Frenchman are mixed, with many not knowing enough about him to decide whether or not he would be a good signing. An online survey between Tottenham fans found 63% thought he would make a good signing.

[ffc-gal cat=”tottenham” no=”5″]

In his first season at Marseille he became an instant sensation, scoring 10 goals and getting six assists, and fans thought he was going to develop into a force to be reckoned with – even calling him the ‘new Frank Ribery.’

Sadly, this wasn’t always a nice comparison as his attitude to other players and officials has grown steadily worse.

This season he seems to be suffering from “second season syndrome.” There is a spooky correlation between players who exceed expectations in their first season at a club and then go on to struggle in their second season. James McCarthy at Everton and Tom Ince at Blackpool are prime examples. In Thauvin’s second season for Marseille both his goal and assist tally has halved.

Last week, the 22-year-old was pulled off at half-time after a dire performance, which saw Marseille beaten 5-3 by Lorient. In recent months the winger has given the ball away too often and hasn’t been as involved in games as manager Marcelo Bielsa would like. In last week’s game Thauvin finished the first half with an accuracy of 66% and only managed one shot on target.

This shot was where his game went wrong. At the time, the scores were level and he took Marseille’s motto “straight to the goal” literally. Instead of using the options he had around him he hit a weak shot straight at Lorient’s keeper Benjamin Lecomte, which was poor for the skill he has shown in the past.

Thauvin is still developing as a player but with only five goals in 33 appearances this season, there are a lot of question marks over his ability. Tottenham are still pushing for European football for next season, and when they spend money over the summer they need a player who can add experience and help them progress in the competition.

If Spurs are looking for a player that can give them an edge to push for the top four in the Premier League then Florian Thauvin is one which should be avoided.
