The Best of the David Moyes Failing Meme
The latest failure in a seemingly very long list since David Moyes took over the Manchester United job has sparked a new flurry of memes depicting the Scottish manager as someone who isn’t really sure of what he’s doing, and generally one huge mistake made by Alex Ferguson.

Juventus vs Roma – Tactical & Technical Superiority
Year 3 in the Juventus revival project, and everything is working quite nicely. There’s no team in the Serie A that comes close to them in terms of players quality or their technical superiority which begins with Antonio Conte but also having players like Paul Pogba, Arturo Vidal and Giorgio Chiellini, brushing aside the empty threat that turned out to be Roma.

FC Barcelona – Alexis Sanchez Leads an Old School Demolition
There’s not always a need for Neymar or Lionel Messi to be on the pitch for Barcelona to be at their best. Alexis Sanchez in the best form of his career and generally playing like they couldn’t wait for the Christmas break to be over is enough to put on one of the most impressive performances from Barcelona this season.

Chelsea FC – Jose Mourinho & The War on Diving
Football managers don’t tell the truth. They say what suits their own ambitions and interests, as for Jose Mourinho and Chelsea, obviously, the issue of diving is something they’re trying to conceal, although the evidence from players like Oscar and Ramires this season point otherwise.

David Moyes & Manchester United Sinking to the Pleasure of All
Conspiracy theory? Bad players? Bad manager? Whatever it is, something (a lot of somethings) isn’t working at Old Trafford, becoming a stage for setting long forgotten records as Manchester United under David Moyes has turned into something of a laughing stock, and the manager trying to blame everyone else but himself simply doesn’t seem to be working.

Liverpool FC – Iago Aspas & Resting Stars is All That Mattered

Match Highlights – Juventus vs Roma
For about 10 minutes, Roma were the best team on the pitch. But then Arturo Vidal opened the scoring, and Juventus took complete control of the ‘match of the season’ completing a 3-0 win with goals from Leonardo Bonucci and Mirko Vucinic, while Daniele De Rossi and Leonardo Castan got sent off as the runners-up completely fell apart in the second half.

Match Highlights – Nottingham Forest vs West Ham
It was difficult to understand why the referee kept adding minutes to injury time while Nottingham Forest were tearing West Ham to shreds in the biggest upset of the FA Cup third round mostly because of the 5-0 win, and not the disparity between the leagues, as Djamel Abdoun and Jamie Paterson put on quite a performance.

Hoping Theo Walcott Isn’t the Last Player to Make Fun of Fans
There was nothing abusive or malicious about Theo Walcott having a bit of fun with Spurs fans, pointing out what the result was while being taken off the pitch. No ‘giving them the finger’, no verbal abuse (not from his direction). Just an Arsenal player enjoying a win over their biggest rival. Unlike Jack Wilshere, we hope to see more of this from players in the sport.
