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 […]

Chelsea have finally completed the signing of Bolton's Nicolas Anelka after the two clubs agreed a £15m fee. The French striker, who has signed a 4½-year deal, could be in the side to face Tottenham as early as tomorrow. A statement on the Chlesea website confirms the deal: "Chelsea Football Club and Bolton Wanderers can […]

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 […]

The FA Cup Third Round relieved us from the dreariness of our normal robust Premier League schedule to enthrall us with live riveting matches like Pompey-Ipswich and grant us the opportunity to pay top dollar to watch Villa-Utd. All 20 Premier League clubs participated at the weekend and here are their performances ranked in order. […]

Despite all the bad feelings generated by Dave Kitson's recent comments, Saturday was a day to feel good about the FA Cup. It was a big day for the lower division clubs as they stepped up to pull off several upsets and make other games very close. First off, Everton were knocked out of the […]

Before I get started, a quick correction on yesterday's post – QPR's deals for Connolly and Ephraim are permanent moves and not just loan deals. I also neglected to mention a couple of "future star" signings that were made by Chelsea, Everton, Liverpool and Manchester United as well as deals done by Tottenham and Bolton. […]

Best Player: Cristiano Ronaldo, Manchester United It's difficult to argue with this one. Even if he does score a number of goals on penalties, he still produces a striker's tally from midfield and, unlike Frank Lampard, he manages to look skillful while doing it. The scariest thing is that he is only going to get […]
