Love him or hate him, Didier Drogba has been one of the greatest players to ever play for the Blues (and one of the best ever in the Premier League). The polarizing star has had a career full of epic highs and deep lows. However with the hiring of new coach Andre Villas-Boas, a new […]

In the summer following Manchester United's loss to Barcelona in the 2009 Champions League Final, big changes took place. The Red Devils lost two key figures from their squad as both Cristiano Ronaldo and Carlos Tevez left the club. Fast forward two years, and Manchester United lost to Barcelona again in the Champions League final. […]

Despite Manchester United's rampant activity this summer, United still haven't addressed the pressing need of finding a central midfielder to replace Paul Scholes. They are currently embroiled in transfer sagas over immediate replacements like Wesley Sneijder, Luka Modric and Samir Nasri. However, the Daily Mirror has recently reported that Sir Alex is making an audacious […]

Back in 2007, Owen Hargreaves was living the dream and things were going right for him. In his first seven years with Bayern Munich, Hargreaves had successfully become one of the best Canadian stars of the game. In his time in Germany, he was a contributor of four Bundesliga titles and a Champions League trophy […]

Arsene Wenger in recent years has often been criticized for not being aggressive enough during the transfer window. While the team has always showed the talent and the skill to win, they've repeatedly come up short in every competition for far too long. This summer, Arsenal has been linked with their fair share of plausible […]

Ashley Young officially signed with Manchester United yesterday, making him the second signing of the summer in a five year deal worth around 15 million pounds. United's spending has now reached over 30 million pounds after already signing Phil Jones from Blackburn. To be honest, when I first heard about United being linked with Young, […]

During the transfer window, there are many players who become linked with Manchester United. And there are also some United players who are rumored to leave, which seems realistic considering the number of players who'll possibly come in. One well known footballer rumored to be on his way out is Dimitar Berbatov. Despite declaring he […]

Over the last few years, Major League Soccer has truly grown into a competitive league with talent, heart and spirit. Thanks to the likes of David Beckham and Thierry Henry, Europe has begun to take serious notice of the rising status of American soccerl. Therefore, speculation has continually grown with the rumors of some of […]

Not too long ago, Manchester City hardly ever shared the same expectations as their Red counterparts. Then, in August 2008, the Abu Dhabi United Group bought the team and their impact has been immediately felt with an unprecedented number of signings. They struggled under the first season and just missed out on their aspirations in […]

There are a lot of things I love about The Beautiful Game. One thing in particular I find great is how short the off-season is. Soccer goes on for ten months which is so gratifying considering, in contrast, the extended breaks of all American sports. However, two months is still plenty of time and nothing […]

Ryan Giggs is a consummate professional whose desire to win has never faltered despite the longevity of his career. He is one of the strongest symbols of Manchester United and the greatest player from the reign of Sir Alex Ferguson. He is loved by his fans and well-respected by his opponents all over Europe. When […]

I remember when I was first getting into football back in the mid-2000s. I started watching Manchester United and didn't know whether I would take to the sport. In the first years of following United, there were three players that made me instantly fall in love with the game: Wayne Rooney, Cristiano Ronaldo, and, of […]

Unless you were living under a rock last summer, you probably heard that Cesc Fabregas was linked with F.C. Barcelona. The Fabregas saga was one of the biggest stories of the transfer season last year as there were months of on-going speculation about his future. At the time, Fabregas was frankly on top of the […]

Six million Euros. That's all it cost for Manchester United to sign a hardly-known Mexican striker from Chivas Guadalajara around a year ago. Nobody knew what to expect from Javier Hernandez, but as soon as he scored goals in the World Cup against France and Argentina, excitement started to build. However, not even Alex Ferguson […]

Guus Hiddink may be on his way to returning once again as the manager of Chelsea after his short stay in the second half of 2009 saw him win the FA Cup. Hiddink has the distinction of being the only coach well-received for his duties after a list of coaches following the sacking of Jose […]
