Season's have their turning points, and I have a feeling that today was a crucial one. We saw Inter Milan rise back to form with a 3-0 win over TP Mazembe in the FIFA World Club Cup final, and we saw AC Milan fall to Roma at the San Siro, 1-0 for the giallorossi thanks […]

The "Qatar Royal Family reportedly plan on a £1.5bn takeover of Manchester United," screams a British tabloid.
