You would think Rafa Benitez would have already learned his lesson. Instead Rafa is left to choke on more words, and a title dream lost. Before Liverpool's 1-1 draw with Manchester City, Rafa reacted to Arsene Wenger's comments that Manchester United were untouchable. "I can only talk of my team but I don't think they […]

So Kevin Nolan will now face a three match ban for violent conduct, after his dreadful tackle on Victor Anichebe in today's match, but I don't think it's sufficient punishment for such a bad challenge. It's about time that the Premier League and the F.A. clamped down on such challenges more often. His team mate […]

In many ways, the opening rounds of the Champions League tournament this season has simply been a dress rehearsal before the most competitive stages which begin on Tuesday when Arsenal battles Roma, and Manchester United plays Inter Milan, just among two of the matches.

I wonder why Sir Alex Ferguson waited until tonight to say what he said, when he had every opportunity to do so last week. Then again, he always has had a knack for waiting until the points were in the bag before opening his mouth (see Kevin Keegan and Rafa Benitez). Fergie waited to damn […]

Poor Tony Adams, he can't even win the headlines on the day he loses his job. Why have Portsmouth taken the decision to sack Tony Adams after the Liverpool game?

Spare a thought for football fans in the United Kingdom. If you thought the coverage in the United States was bad, Independent Television (ITV) made a gigantic flub Wednesday night that was reminscent of the worst of US soccer coverage from the 1980s and 1990s.

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.
