Superbowl Sunday is always a strange day for me. The last time I watched an entire Superbowl game was more than 20 years ago when Chicago's "Superbowl Shuffle" beat the Patriots. Usually I spend the day doing the opposite of what the majority are doing. For example, for Superbowl 2006, I had a launch party […]

If anyone deserves Liverpool man of the match award, it's not a Liverpool player. Instead of the honor going to Fernando Torres, that award should be awarded to the man in the middle Mike Riley. Every time I see Mike Riley as referee to any game, my thoughts immediately change from how the game is […]

What is Rafa Benitez playing at? Liverpool have had a nightmare January and from being out in front, now find themselves back amongst their rivals in third place, having dropped 6 points in the last 3 league games.

Chelsea players Frank Lampard and Michael Ballack star in a new viral video from Adidas to promote the brand's new range of football boots.

So it's all off then, Kaka has shunned the millions on offer to switch the San Siro for Eastlands, turned his back on an alleged £500,000 a week ( A measly take home salary of £260,000 per week after tax) and declared his love for AC Milan. Am I surprised? A little bit, but it's certainly reaffirmed […]

Three weeks is a long time in football and Liverpool must be wondering why there season is beginning to splutter just when they needed to kick on. The game against Newcastle United on December 28th easily saw Liverpool's best performance of the season so far, completely ripping the Geordie's apart at will. If it wasn't for […]

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.
