When football pundits discuss Carlos Tevez, they often talk about his "work rate" and his "eye for the ball." At times, though, the words "work rate" can morph into a backhanded compliment — as if those pundits are really saying, "He's rubbish as a goal scorer, but boy, he sure works hard, doesn't he?" Indeed, […]

Paul Doyle of The Guardian once described Carlos Tevez as “the rich man’s Dirk Kuyt.” That man may be far more rich than we thought. Carlos Tevez left Manchester United for Manchester City, in a deal that reportedly paid Tevez’ handlers £25.5m. According to a new report in The Times, Tevez’ fee may really be […]

If I was an Arsenal fan, I'd be fed up already listening to people saying that Manchester City were obviously going to usurp them as one of the "Big Four" sides. It's amazing what spending money does to peoples judgement when it comes to football and Manchester City have certainly caught more than their fair […]

Say what you will about the obscene amount of money being spent by Manchester City this summer, but you have to admit that there's a certain perverse pleasure in watching someone build a real-life club lineup in much the same way that most regular joes would create their starting XI in a video game. Okay, […]

Well, two days are left until the transfer window opens again and Manchester City look like they've signed two strikers to help Mark Hughes drag them up the table. I suppose they need some good news down at Eastlands after the ground flooded on Saturday due to flash floods.  With both signings, City could have an […]

Well another week has meant another win for the top two, another bad week for Arsenal and of course another week of transfer rumours. For months now specualtion has never really gone away that Manchester United will not stump up the reported £30 Million or so that Media Sports Investments want for him.  Carlos Tevez has […]

Football loves dominant sides. Think of Herbert Chapman's Arsenal of the 1920s, ravaging England with the WM formation; Real Madrid of the early days of the European Cup, with Alfredo di Stefano and Ferenc Puskas wreaking havoc on unsuspecting continental champions; Liverpool getting comfy on their "fucking perch," winning four European cups in the span […]

When Manchester United scored two late goals on Sunday to secure a come-from-behind 3-2 victory over Aston Villa, the result seemed to sweep under the rug the idea that United were a team in serious danger of relinquishing their Premier League lead heading into the home stretch. After Tuesday’s 2-2 draw at home to FC […]

Thanks to early first half goals from Didier Drogba and Carlos Tevez, Chelsea and Manchester United weakened the will of their opposition and saw out relatively elementary victories to advance to the FA Cup Semi-Finals. Yea, Coventry City then Fulham folded up cheaper than any cheap tent or umbrella. If you woke up early Saturday […]

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 […]

After plenty of speculation, it's finally happened. Just hours after AC Milan said that Kaka wasn't for sale, the newswires went crazy over the fact Manchester City has indeed opened talks to purchase the star player, and the figures are simply staggering. The 100 million euro purchase price, yes it's there. Kaka's salary, well enough […]

If there is one story that I want to just be over and never have to hear about again, the Carlos Tevez saga with West Ham United and Sheffield United would be that story. When I first read that the FA and the Premier League were going to reopen the case against West Ham and […]

Who would have guessed that the slowly turning wheels of the Premier League and FA's disciplinary panels would finally get round to re-opening their botched enquiry into the Carlos Tevez affair. I mean it's only been 4 months since Lord Griffiths ruled that West Ham broke the rules and misled the Premier League over Tevez's […]

So Andrei Arshavin is starting to make loud noises about his future, and it doesn't look like playing in Russia is a part of it.  He's telling Zenit St. Petersburg that if he has to, he'll buy out his contract (this is the only link that is currently available, the Telegraph also reported the same […]

Well the rumblings of yesterday have come to fruition today, on two counts. The first happening in South America, the other happening at the Riverside. I can understand Carlos Tevez wanting his future sorted. But the situation with Manchester United seems to get crazier by the day. After firing back at Ferguson's claims of rejecting […]
