Prememento #123: Season 4 Episode 2 - Marcelo Bielsa
From the outside looking in, it's easy to think that it doesn't matter as much to some of the people involved in football. Though it may be their livelihood, the connection between occupation and obsession are at the opposite ends of the scale. That doesn't apply to everyone however. Those that...

Prememento #122: Season 4 Episode 1 - The Managers Draft
Having looked at every club, every season and last time around the individual players themselves and how they related to the wider issues and narratives around the Premier League; this time we're going one step further and look at the personalities and histories of those on the touchline. No one...

Prememento #112: Season 3 Episode 36 - Edin Dzeko
Football is not everything, but it does bring us together. The time has come for the game itself to stop, for now at least. In light of the crisis that surrounds the world today, it all seems very insignificant. Fitting then – in that regard – that we too take out leave for now, with very…

Prememento #111: Season 3 Episode 35 - Matt Holland
Excess is such a part of the Premier League, the two as a concept are all but fused together. Flamboyance on and off the pitch, along with an acceptance of narcissism that laughs in the face of loyalty. Yet there are those that defy the stereotype. Men who thrived in this world; with…

Prememento #110: Season 3 Episode 34 - Sol Campbell
Over the course of time; events become fables, fables become legend, legend becomes myth. Some players changed so much and held so much in the way of glory aloft, they can take on another aura entirely. Yet history is not always kind to them. There is one thing however that does stand the test of...

Prememento #109: Season 3 Episode 33 - Jussi Jääskeläinen
Given the fickle and cut throat nature of football in the Premier League era, there's something to be said for the players that simply kept on playing. Years upon years of service, racking up the points and the minutes as everything else changed around them. In that time, the rise and image of…

Prememento #108: Season 3 Episode 32 - Andrew Johnson
Ambition comes with a price. Experience comes with a warning. As players move from tier to tier among the Premier League hierarchy, it's never quite the same as trying to get in among it in the first place. Youthful exuberance and trying to claim a place in the company of the elite in English...

Prememento #107: Season 3 Episode 31 - Ruud Gullit
Single moments themselves do not spark revolutions. Yet every one is triggered by an isolated incident. For the Premier League to become the go to destination for the best football talent the world over, there had to be a tipping point. Someone who who would come in and elevate the game, who…

Prememento #106: Season 3 Episode 30 - Ben Thatcher
Heroes don't exist without villains. In footballing terms, the antagonist is often just anyone outside our own personal fanbases. It's hard for a player to draw the kind of ire and ill-will from neutrals if he's never done anything to their clubs. There are a certain few however that – for one...
-
Prememento #105: Season 3 Episode 29 - James Beattie
Behind every footballer, there is the person. The former gets judged, often without the latter ever coming into question. Hopes, dreams and emotions are all reduced to games, goals and assists. People aren't defined by their profession, regardless of how high profile it may be. The more you get…

Prememento #104: Season 3 Episode 28 - Paul Ince
Self belief can carry you a long way in football, and those that have a sheer force of will above all others can bulldoze their way to success and drag everyone along with them. It's the kind of determination that were it to be distilled into a single image, might very well just be one of the…

Prememento #103: Season 3 Episode 27 - Jermain Defoe
There's something to be said for being the last man standing. At the highest level, it's not a question of ability anymore, it becomes something more personal. Playing through a succession of eras and continuing to produce, at a time where the game itself has supposedly moved on; that's not for...
-
Prememento #102: Season 3 Episode 26 - NIgel Martyn
Nostalgia appeals so much because of it's simplicity. We know the context for how something happened and what became of it. As football has evolved, so to has the reading of it become infinitely more complicated. Goalkeeping used to be about the uttermost basic of basics, to the point where it...
-
Prememento #101: Season 3 Episode 25 - Robert Huth
Surprise and anticipation are forever tethered together. The mixture of the two plays out across every game of football ever played. Our disposition toward something we never could have seen coming lies within what we consider possible. That's why when the truly unthinkable happens, it means that...

Prememento #100: Season 3 Episode 24 - Craig Bellamy
Within a lifetime, there are many seasons. Each one – good or bad – will hold a special place in our minds. A few of them may blur together and be associated with a specific points in our upbringing. These periods are often summed up by a sole individual, be they in the team itself or the dugout....

Prememento #99: Season 3 Episode 23 - Darren Bent
Worth is a big concept in football. Perhaps even the biggest. While the money has risen astronomically over the years, it's not the numbers so much as the context for them. Measuring value in a financial context alone is to get it backward. What they do on the pitch defines their price tag, not…

Prememento #98: Season 3 Episode 22 - Gylfi Sigurdsson
Like the game itself, a successful football career often comes down to timing. The right circumstances off the field are as key as the perfect pass on it. Join a club at the ideal time and with the right ability, the sky is the limit. Conversely when expectations are high and they don't match up...
-
Prememento #97: Season 3 Episode 21 - Nicolas Anelka
Change in football moves at a breakneck speed. What one day was accepted as absolute, very quickly finds itself lost in time. There's so much to keep track of, it often gets lost in the shuffle. Those first ten years the Premier League had made steady progress within the home grown players that...
-
Prememento #96: Season 3 Episode 20 - Robbie Savage
When it comes to getting over the line, a decision has to be made what other lines are there to be crossed. How far are you willing to go to get what you want? What's more, there are questions to be asked when it comes to the idea of talent versus application. As with anything in football, in the...
-
Prememento #95: Season 3 Episode 19 - Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink
Certain points in history are so important, they split the timeline down the middle and there is only what came before and what will now happen as a result. In that regard, those that put the most into those circumstances playing out should be rightly acknowledged for their efforts. Even for the...
-
Prememento #94: Season 3 Episode 18 - Edwin van der Sar
Playing the most noticeable position, it's not a surprise that goalkeepers tend to have bigger personalities. They're a unique breed of footballer to the point of cliche, judged on completely different aspects to everyone else out on the field. The battle is more of an internal than external one,...
-
Prememento #93: Season 3 Episode 17 - Trevor Sinclair
The road to glory is filled with obstacles. How teams – let alone players themselves – manage to navigate in times of even relative stability is crucial. One false move can lead to a slippery slope and alter the course of a club indefinitely. Certain personalities are better equipped to being…

Prememento #92: Season 3 Episode 16 - Stan Collymore
On the pitch. Off the pitch. Player. Pundit. No matter how many times we try to separate out the differing aspects of a career, they ultimately all belong in the same place. We sometimes forget that there's a person behind the headlines, whether they're on the back or even the front page.…

Prememento #91: Season 3 Episode 15 - Kieran Trippier
Though the game itself may be global, British – more specifically English – footballers rank very low in terms of successful exports around the world. For far too long it has seemed as though the home of football was always a couple of generations behind the tactics and styles that the rest of…

Prememento #90: Season 3 Episode 14 - Jason Puncheon
How it all ends makes us feel different about the beginning and middle. It's easy to watch back old games as a fan even in the most dire of circumstances and know it'll be alright in the end. The 90th minute winner is an joy of a different kind. But those goals don't always arrive. Those games...
-
Prememento #89: Season 3 Episode 13 - Chris Sutton
For a team sport, there's an incredible emphasis put on individuals. The Premier League itself multiplied that a thousand times over and become a conveyor belt of superstars. Yet in one of it's earliest incarnations there came a duo. One that still resonates to this day. Everyone knows what...
-
Prememento #88: Season 3 Episode 12 - Cesc Fabregas
Popular opinion is such an invalid criteria when it comes to evaluating a players ability – or career – and yet it's one of the biggest factors. Reputations aren't built on how many medals anyone has had dangled around their neck, even if that's kind of the whole point. At the same time,...
-
Prememento #87: Season 3 Episode 11 - Gunnar Halle
It began as a blank canvas. The Premier League as a whole has seen much in the way of diversity pass through it as the game has become more cosmopolitan, but at first there was very little in the way of variety. A select few paved the way for it to become more and more prevalent for managers to...
-
Prememento #86: Season 3 Episode 10 - Glenn Murray
It's difficult to explain how or why, but some players loom larger over certain clubs. Like a spectre, appearing infrequently to scare the locals. Their name on the teamsheet is terrifying. It doesn't matter the run of form or even the respective ability, there's just an inevitability about them....
-
Prememento #85: Season 3 Episode 9 - Nick Barmby
Being part of something special should be enough. Enough to guarantee your place among the recognition of football fans everywhere. Enough to satisfy personal motivations. That's not always the case though. For Nick Barmby it took going home again. Coming back the place his heart had never left....
-
Prememento #84: Season 3 Episode 8 - Dion Dublin
We take for granted the familiar. That they are immortalized in our minds eye in a very specific way ignores the role circumstance has to play. Dion Dublin is one of the most recognizable faces from the early years of the Premier Football. His very face conjures up very specific images of Aston...
-
Prememento #83: Season 3 Episode 7 - Oleksandr Zinchenko
Bringing through and developing young talent is one of the most important things any manager is tasked with. Pep Guardiola is widely regarded as being not just among the top of the class in terms of his generation of coaches, but of management at the top level full stop. His Manchester City side...

Prememento #82: Season 3 Episode 6 - Kanu
In the mid-ninties, as the Premier League was becoming an ever increasing global phenomenon so too did the rest of the world introduce itself into in English football in a big way. The reach was just as far in terms of a pool of talent as it was beaming to television audiences across the...
