In what proved to be a highly entertaining Boxing Day encounter, Manchester City saw off a resilient Newcastle side after a goal from Gareth Barry and Carlos Tevez inside the opening five minutes of play. Newcastle will surely feel hard-done by after dominating the remaining eighty-five minutes of play, far outnumbering their ridiculously-paid counterparts in […]

As seems standard at the moment today’s schedule was blighted by postponements however seven games did take place providing the usual thrills and spills of the league. This now means that some clubs have reached the magical halfway point in their seasons, whereas Nottingham Forest and Scunthorpe are still three games from that milestone as […]

Finally this power struggle is over. It was inevitable that the Spaniard was not going to get anything from Massimo Moratti for this January transfer window, and Moratti got fed up with Benitez's strange demands. It all seemed slightly better when Rafa Benitez had guided his team to the World Club Cup title, but after […]
