Manchester United dismantled Newcastle 6-0. It really should have been 10 or 11 goals for United. There were numerous squandered chances from Rooney and others, combined with a valiant effort by Newcastle in the first half to merely keep the scoreline reasonable. Ronaldo poured it on with another hat-trick, and is on pace to break […]

Tom and George's excellent adventure may come to an end, according to The Observer, as Liverpool owners Hicks and Gillett have not been able to transfer their 350m GBP of debt onto the club.

Even if he does score a number of goals on penalties, he still produces a striker's tally from midfield and, unlike Frank Lampard, he manages to look skillful while doing it. The scariest thing is that he is only going to get […]

Berbatov pads stats Against weaker opponents Bad news for Reading West Ham shocked Manchester United 2-1 at Upton Park. It was West Ham's third consecutive victory over United in the League. The result was a bit unfair to Man U, who controlled much of the match. They had a chance to seal the victory foiled […]

Destiny entwined Two hundred thousand a week Major malfunction Liverpool beat Derby 2-1 on a late winner by Steven Gerrard.
