Chelsea FC – Jose Mourinho Needs Barcelona in His Life
It’s hard not having a real nemesis anymore. Jose Mourinho has done his best to discredit Chris Foy for the last few days, but without a real grasp of any shred of invented conspiracy he can conjure, those who enjoy seeing Mourinho run amock through the media in his attempts to convince the world he was robbed of three points might feel sorry for not having Barcelona in his life anymore.

Manchester United – David Moyes Might Get Fired Before the End of the Season

Manchester United – Wayne Rooney & Robin van Persie Stuck With David Moyes

Liverpool FC – Steven Gerrard, More Than a Penalty King
Almost every goal Steven Gerrard has scored this season came from the penalty spot, but there’s more to him, and to the Liverpool team Brendan Rodgers needed about a season and a bit to mold, than just making the most of set pieces, as the striking duo of Luis Suarez and Daniel Sturridge create havoc even when they don’t score, Jordan Henderson and Joe Allen do the work of three or four players in the middle of the pitch while the Raheem Sterling surprise might have hurt his individual performance, but worked out perfectly in the grand scheme of things.
