Ferguson Should Call Tevez's Bluff

It seems that the people who own Carlos Tevez, well the own his economic rights; seem to underestimate Sir Alex Fergusons strength of character.

When we had to put up with the on/off Gareth Barry transfer saga all last season, one of the key facts throughout the drama was that Barry wanted to play Champions League football.

Mid-season position squandered... Lengthy injuries to the big guns... And Liverpool still had an outstanding season. Their best in 19 years.

Will Liverpool Play At Carlsberg Stadium?

When did it come to this? As I watch Bolton's Reebok Hunt slide tackle Liverpool's Xabi Carlsberg at Carlsberg Lite Stadium in Liverpool on an overcast Saturday in April, I am filled with an unbearable nostalgia for the past.

Sami Hyypia: Leaving Liverpool

There won't be a sympathy vote PFA award for Sami Hyypia as he ends his ten year career with Liverpool FC, but for Reds supporters his legend will remain as large as the 6'4 Finn himself. Bought from Willem II in 1999 for a mere £2.5m, Hyypia is easily one of the greatest bargains in […]

Bundesliga Rumor Mill: May 5, 2009

It has been an interesting week in rumors. First the managers! Hoffenheim will say goodbye to Ralf Rangnick because he wants to spend money this summer. They will then say hello to Jurgen Klinsmann, who is the epitome of frugality. After all, he only forced Bayern to rebuild it's training facility. Meanwhile the possessors of […]

Yossi Benayoun: Liverpool's Secret Weapon

Liverpool fans voted Xabi Alonso man of the match against Newcastle. Clairvoyant passing and two shots from distance that ricocheted off the bar: Alonso was a beast against the Magpies. But I suspect it was his temporary martyrdom that won Alonso the honor over some of the other candidates. Xabi took the full force of […]

New Stadium Fever?

I was having a good look at Tottenham's proposal for a new stadium overlapping their current plot at White Hart Lane last night and my brain started to tick. However difficult these proposals appear to be (and indeed I hope they go through) it seems Spurs are not alone in their ambitions and indeed there are a glut of […]

Dirk Kuyt: Unlikely Hero

When Dirk Kuyt tries to collect a long pass out of the air it's like the the scene in the nature channel documentary when the gazelle eludes the mountain lion. The cat gets a paw on his prey, but cannot take the thing down. The ball scoots out of Kuyt's reach and he helplessly chases […]

Where Did It All Go Wrong For Hull City?

When a team only wins 2 games out of 18, you'd fully expect them to be propping up the Premiership table, already planning for life in the Championship the following season.
