  • Arsenal FC – Theo Walcott Wants to be THE Striker

    Is Theo Walcott the answer? Arsenal are looking for a striker to give them 15-20 goals a season, with Arsene Wenger peering towards the transfer market in January, but his answer for on and off scoring problems might be waiting for him, contract dispute and all, on his bench.

  • FC Barcelona – Already Thinking About Real Madrid Clasico

    While Barcelona have a very tough visit at Sevilla this weekend in their attempt to keep the perfect start to the La Liga season intact, it seems most of their players are already thinking a week ahead, towards the Clasico match against Real Madrid.

  • Chelsea FC – Everyone Defending John Terry

    For someone who’s done a lot of things over the years to anger quite a few people, John Terry is still loved and supported by anyone who has been involved with Chelsea, except for Wayne Bridge, understandably.

  • Chelsea FC – John Terry Suspended After All

    John Terry may have escaped the legal system unscathed for his racial slur at Anton Ferdinand during last season, but he didn’t escape the justice system of the FA, receiving a four game suspension and a £220,000 fine, pending appeal.

  • Real Madrid – Kaka Back in the Plan

    Kaka, one of the best players in the world over the last decade, has still not played a single official match for Real Madrid this season. The reason? The answer lies with Jose Mourinho, who was impressed with the Brazilian’s performance in the friendly match against Millonarios, and might give the 30 year old a chance pretty soon.

  • Juventus FC – Cost of Building the Current Squad

    The big Italian clubs hardly base their squads on home grown talent, and Juventus are no different, spending just under €200 million to assemble the current group of players, some on co-ownership deals, with Gianluigi Buffon, arriving back in 2001, still the most expensive player on the team.

  • Liverpool FC – Jerome Sinclair Becomes Youngest Player Ever

    Beating West Brom in the League Cup wasn’t just about Brendan Rodgers getting his first official win as a Liverpool manager, but also setting a new record by Jerome Sinclair (and also the club), becoming Liverpool’s youngest ever player to step on the pitch for the team.

  • Miroslav Klose – What Sportsmanship is all About

    Football sportsmanship isn’t only about kicking the ball out when an opponent is down. It’s also about the more important thing – Not cheating. Miroslav Klose of Lazio proved that playing fair isn’t something all footballers forgot to do, asking the referee to disallow his goal in the 3-0 loss to Napoli.

  • FC Barcelona – Keeping Xavi Forever

    After more than 600 matches, it’s only natural that Xavi signs one more contract that promises he’ll end his career with Barcelona, the only club he’s ever played for, unless you count the B team during his first few years as a footballer.

  • Arsenal FC – Being Patient With Olivier Giroud

    Although it’s been quite a positive start of the season for Arsenal, not everything is perfect. Aside from the demolishing of Southampton, Arsenal haven’t scored more than two goals in any of their matches, including two 0-0 draws to kick off the season. The best example of their partial scoring problems is presented in the case of Olivier Giroud.
