Fernando Torres returned to goal scoring form to give Liverpool’s season a much needed kick-start against West Brom. But will this be the start of a bright season for Roy Hodgson’s side or will the men from Merseyside disappoint once again? It’s been a bit of strange week for Liverpool. It started with midfielder Javier […]

While this was a mere friendly and many of the starters from both teams were not on hand, the manner with which Inter overcame Manchester City serves as a warning for those aiming to dethrone the Serie A champions and Champions League winners. The Nerazzurri were missing the likes of Diego Milito, Lucio and Wesley […]

Samuel Eto'o has won plenty of trophies, scored plenty of goals, and played in plenty of different systems. He has often played as a center-forward, finishing plays and scoring lots of goals, but for Inter Milan, under the orders of Jose Mourinho, Eto'o wasn't used as a finisher, but maybe more as a supporter.

David Villa became the talisman for the Spanish national football team, scoring five of Spain's six goals in the tournament.

It is quite early to discuss next season's Champions League particularly with the World Cup looming ahead but Inter's historic treble was much more than a great achievement.

So Cesc is off then. So long and thanks for all the skill, the vision and the bushy eyebrows. Is this an Arsenal crisis in the making? Wasn’t Wenger building that team around Fabregas? How can you replace a player as good as that? It takes a lot of money. But Wenger doesn’t like to […]

Here we go again. Reports are coming out of the British media that Cesc Fabregas has told his friends that he wants to leave Arsenal and go to Barcelona.

Congratulations to Barcelona on winning the 2009-10 La Liga title.
