Liverpool and Arsenal had an Oscar and Felix feel. Both clubs are each other’s bogey teams. Arsenal’s Frenchified fancy dans cannot break down disciplined defenses and remain prone to adept counterattack. Lump and pray Liverpool struggle when forced to play chess on the ground rather than checkers in the air. The clash can create soccer […]

Former Chelsea boss and current "I'm on Setanta Sports" presenter Jose Mourinho has had discussions with Inter Milan about becoming their new manager. Current Milan boss Roberto Mancini previously mentioned he would resign at the end of the season, before retracting the comment one day later. The situation would be ideal for Mourinho. The man […]

Manchester United 3 – Liverpool 0: The scoreline was unfair, United should have won by more. Rooney and Ronaldo combined for five fluffed chances. Captain Stevie disappeared twice for the Reds. First, when he decided to stop running and not defend on the Wes Brown goal. Second, when he failed to get between the referee […]

Manchester United 2 – Bolton 0 Cristiano Ronaldo may be masking United's problems, but he's doing a damn good job. His record-breaking brace bumped the Red Devils into sole possession of first – one they are not likely relinquish. He now has something else in common with George Best, besides his number, his good looks […]

Park in the lot across the street? Not John Terry. Capt. John parked his Bentley in a handicapped parking space while having lunch with his family at Pizza Express. Surely, he will stand up and be counted by paying his 60 GBP fine.

Derby 0 – Manchester United 1 This match epitomizes the season for both clubs. Derby worked but weren't quite good enough. United's only enemy was their own cuteness. Ronaldo should have scored at least three, or more according to his own verbal tally. Birmingham 1 – Newcastle 1 The result risked being critical, but little […]

Arsenal have just one defeat in the league this season – shoddy solace for a third-place finish. The Gunners have played four Premier League matches since Feb 11. Though maintaining their ever crucial unbeaten streak, they have dropped eight points to Manchester United, who are now level on points, ahead on goal difference and have […]

A message posted in the Liverpool FC forum on the Liverpool Echo's website has sparked speculation about a fixing of Friday's Champions League draw in Nyon. The post, received at 10:28 AM (90 min prior to the draw) read as follows. “RUMOUR going around the draw has been leaked . . . this is no […]

From ChampionsLeagueTalk.com Benfica's struggles continued as they failed to make any impression in Spain, as Getafe progressed to the quarter-finals of the UEFA Cup with a 1-0 (Agg. 3-1) win thanks to Albin’s gorgeous lob. Getafe's reward is a quarter-final matchup against my favourites to win FC Bayern Munich. Bayern had for all intents and […]

Chelsea Midfielder Frank Lampard has, unsurprisingly, begun clamoring for a new contract with the club. Lampard, 29, has 15 months remaining on his current deal, expiring at the end of next season. After talks slowed last Summer, Lampard halted negotiations so that he could concentrate on football. He now feels slighted that Chelsea held him […]

It was night of black armbands and barren kits in Manchester, which only served to emphasize the sponsorship everywhere else as Man City shocked Man United 2-1 at Old Trafford. It is no coincidence that most of Man U's losses come without Wayne Rooney on the pitch. Ronaldo can score goals but even he with […]

After this weekend a Google search for "Sven" and "Up the Arse" won't lead you astray as Arsenal defeated Manchester City 3-1 away from home to move to the top of the table. Adebayor dropped a deuce, scoring in his eighth straight match. Eduardo also controlled a ball magnificently with his chest to set up […]

Newcastle buzzed with electricity. The entire town pitched in, stealing Burger King hats and spray painting them black and white. The Geordie Messiah took the pitch to a rockstar's welcome. Mike Ashley ordered a whopper, but he didn't have it his way as Newcastle drew Bolton 0-0 at St. James park. Bolton looked toothless and […]

In the least shocking news of the week, Chelsea's John Obi Mikel picked up yet another red card for a shockingly bad tackle. This time it was a sliding tackle and though the challenge was one-footed, Mikel came in with his studs up (and nowhere near the ball) on Everton's Phil Neville. This was the […]
