As I sat down to watch the Champions League Final this past Wednesday, the first thought that entered my mind was how the final in Moscow was a preview of what the Premier League's global expansion could look like. Football chairmen and tycoons around the world must have wondered too how they could get their […]

The marathon of the Champions League Final is over, and what an ordeal it was. Frankly I'm embarrassed by what I witnessed. Embarrassed because of the lack of sportsmanship shown by both sides. Embarrassed because this was supposed to be the final that provided an entertaining example of what English football can be. Instead what […]

If you're desperate to follow the Champions League Final today, you can't watch it on TV and you don't have a Slingbox, listen to the live radio commentary from The Sun. The audio quality is usually suspect, but at least you'll be able to follow the biggest match of the year online. And, don't forget, […]

Manchester United will be playing three friendlies in South Africa this summer. On Saturday, July 19, they'll play against Kaizer Chiefs. That match is then followed by a game against Orlando Pirates on Tuesday, July 22. And then on Saturday, July 26 the Red Devils will play the winner of the July 24th match between […]

Am I the only person who is getting a bit sick of the Champions League press coverage? The match hasn't even begun yet, but the newspapers continue writing article after article leading up to Wednesday's match between Manchester United and Chelsea. Sure, I'm looking forward to the match just as much as anyone, but I […]

Manchester United defeated Wigan 2-0 to win their second consecutive Premier League title. The brace flowed fittingly for this season. The young generation won it, with Cristiano Ronaldo deftly slotting in a penalty. The older generation sealed it with Ryan Giggs, in his record-tying 750th appearance for United, touching in a through-ball from Rooney. The […]

AC Milan midfielder Gennaro "the snarling dog" Gattuso has admitted his desire to play in the English Premier League, potentially next season. Gattuso, 30, previously played in Britain for Scottish side Rangers and has an English speaking wife. He has been rumored in the past to be a target of Manchester United.

The scene after the match at Old Trafford looked quite familiar for Arsenal. Their legs spent. Their effort admirable. The run of play theirs'. The scoreline favoring the opposition. The Gunners have won just two of their last thirteen matches in all competitions. The only wins coming from a late brace against a gassed AC […]

The PFA Player of the Year nominees are a formality. Ronaldo will win it. No contest. But one has to ask. Where is Wayne Rooney? Rooney has 11 goals and 11 assists in just 23 league appearances. Despite Ronaldo's grandiose stats, one can still make the argument that Rooney was equally as valuable. United were […]

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 […]

Arsenal beat Bolton 3-2 at the Reebok, keeping mathematical title hopes alive. The Gunners, with 10 men on the pitch, scored three goals to reverse a 2-0 deficit. Diaby deserved his red card for raised studs. Poor fortune averaged itself through an unmarked corner, a penalty and a deflection. Cristiano Ronaldo is the best in […]

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 […]

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 […]
