I can sum up in two words why Roman Abramovich may have sacked Luiz Felipe Scolari: Aston Villa. Seeing Aston Villa in third place, two points ahead of Chelsea, must have been eating Abramovich up.

A picture of Chelsea's new home shirt for the 2009/2010 season has been leaked. Manufactured by Adidas and sponsored by Samsung, the new Chelsea shirt features a design that makes the shirt look like it's divided into panels.

I wonder if Steve Bennett will be more careful with who he talk to in regards to his job. Now I'll be honest with everyone. When Jeffrey Hash linked me to this story earlier Sunday morning, I simply went "It's the News of the World...why should I care?" What I read woke me up. His […]

"Ever since I signed for the Galaxy, people have questioned why I have come to America," he said, "but every move I've made in my career has been about football for me. It's also about being an ambassador for the game here and, hopefully, it is going to encourage other players to come to the […]

For a manager it must be the worst scenario to find yourself in. You've gone to all the effort of reaching a Champion's League final only to not bother turning up on the night itself. In your first season in charge of a new club as well. It could have been oh so perfect and […]
