The Mourinho special - blaming referees for being part of the Barcelona conspiracy

Barcelona & Real Madrid Won’t Miss Jose Mourinho

Posted on 14 May, 2013, by in Soccer

For some, having an antagonist like Jose Mourinho makes football a lot more interesting. But while managers like him are good for the ratings and interest in the game, it does blur the lines between right & wrong, moral and immoral. He’s a great manager, but Real Madrid don’t look back at periods without too many titles with longing, while Barcelona were sick of him from even before he arrived. More

Wayne Rooney and Alex Ferguson

Manchester United – Wayne Rooney is Being Treated Unfairly

Posted on 14 May, 2013, by in Soccer

A player is allowed to be unhappy, or ask to leave a club, or disagree with Alex Ferguson. But it’s impossible to let out a negative work about the retiring manager these days, which is helping him exert his small revenge against a player he felt betrayed him more than once over the last few years, forgetting everything he has done for Manchester United over the last few years.

Sturridge, Coutinho

Liverpool FC – Brendan Rodgers Doesn’t Need to Make Too Many Changes

Posted on 14 May, 2013, by in Soccer

From pessimism early on, to fierce optimism later, and a more realistic approach as Liverpool end the 2012-2013 season without a European spot clinched for next season. And still, Brendan Rodgers has plenty of attacking talent on the team: Luis Suarez, Daniel Sturridge, Philippe Coutinho and others, which leaves him in need of a less than drastic change to push Liverpool a little bit higher next season.

David Luiz, Ramires

Chelsea FC – David Luiz & Ramires To Show History Means Nothing

Posted on 14 May, 2013, by in Soccer

Up until the Europa League came along, the European season of Chelsea wasn’t really something worth mentioning. Humiliated by Atletico Madrid in the European Super Cup and winning only two matches out of six in the Champions League group stage. With Benfica coming up next as the stumbling block between a second consecutive European title, eyes turn to Ramires and David Luiz, who used to play for the Portuguese team before making the move to Stamford Bridge.

Arsene Wenger Arsenal

Arsenal FC – What Does Arsene Wenger Want?

Posted on 14 May, 2013, by in Soccer

Obviously, to make the finish Arsenal need in order to remain a member of the top 4 in the Premier League and play in the Champions League. Arsene Wenger is lamenting the firings of fellow managers, but while doing that is trying to save his own ass by hiding his own failures for the last seven years. More

Transfer Rumors 2013 – Manchester United Interested in Phil Jagielka

Posted on 14 May, 2013, by in Soccer

It seems that this summer will be the one in which every half decent Everton player will be linked with a move to Manchester United. After Leighton Baines and Marouane Fellaini have already been mentioned, Phil Jagielka is the next one to enter the rumor mill. More

Fabio Coentrao

Fabio Coentrao is the Stupidest Player Real Madrid Have

Posted on 13 May, 2013, by in Soccer

It might have been an honest mistake, but it seems some of the Real Madrid players weren’t that surprised that Fabio Coentrao showed up on the bench before their match against Espanyol even though he wasn’t in the squad, as Iker Casillas, Karim Benzema and Cristiano Ronaldo had a good laugh at his expense.

Benitez has won 56.5% of his matches since joining Chelsea

Chelsea FC – Rafa Benitez is a Success

Posted on 13 May, 2013, by in Soccer

No titles yet for Rafa Benitez, but at least he made it out of the huge minefield that was trying to keep Chelsea in the top 4 club and qualify into the Champions League. His rough start meant there will be no Premier League title, but despite the lack of ownership support (as always at Stamford Bridge) and quite a lot of fans making their displeasure with him filling the position being heard, the “Spanish waiter” did quite a good job in keeping the ship on the right course, with a chance to add a European trophy to the cabinet.

Transfer Rumors 2013 – Borussia Dortmund Getting Closer to Christian Eriksen

Posted on 13 May, 2013, by in Soccer

It’s been hard for quite some time, ever since the financial playing grounds changed for the worse on them, for Ajax to hang on to their best players. Christian Eriksen has been on the shortlist of many top European clubs for a few seasons now, but after winning his third Dutch title in three years, it seems that the approaches of Borussia Dortmund might finally tear him away from the club he has been with since the age of 16.
