    If you thought Wayne Rooney made his return from the off season a little out of shape, you were right.

  • Transfer Rumors 2012 – Alessandro Del Piero to Liverpool

    While Sydney FC in Australia claim to have Alessandro Del Piero signed on a $2 million contract for the upcoming season, Liverpool’s frantic race to get some sort of support to their striking force has led them to the name of the 37 year old Italian legend, although it might be a bit too late.

  • Liverpool FC – John Henry Thinks This is an American Baseball Team

    Seeing as everyone was complaining about how Brendan Rodgers got a raw deal during the transfer deadline, Liverpool owner John Henry decided to let the public and specifically Reds fans know why the team didn’t get the kind of new signings influx many expected them to, especially after letting Andy Carroll (loan) and Charlie Adam (sold) go.

  • Cristiano Ronaldo – Really Sad, Really Wants to Leave, or Simply Wants More Money?

    The whole ‘Cristiano Ronaldo wants to leave Real Madrid’ issue won’t drop from the news, and probably for good reason.

  • Dominique Niederhauser – Greatest Goalkeeper Goal in History

    Have you heard of the club Dardania Lausanne? Probably not. Have you heard about Dominique Niederhauser, the amateur Swiss club’s goalkeeper? Probably not as well. Well, this unknown goalkeeper from an unknown team scored a goal from 80 yards out on a half volley, and although this isn’t some top level football competition, it deserves more than simply a mention.

  • Manchester United – Robin van Persie Hides All That’s Wrong

    Making the most of bad performances is an Alex Ferguson and Manchester United specialty, and although he does have plenty to be worried about regarding the performances of his team so far, knowing he has someone like Robin van Persie to save them on bad days must be reassuring.

  • Liverpool FC – Brendan Rodgers Still Waiting for First Win

    The great optimism from their first match at Anfield turned into something completely different after the 0-2 home defeat against Arsenal.

  • Arsenal FC – Happy with Podolski, Worried About Giroud

    Not what Arsene Wenger dreams of, but three matches into the Premier League season, Arsenal are undefeated, with 5 points, and have yet to concede a single goal. Not exactly matching all expectations, especially not when it comes to style, but the 2-0 win at Anfield over Liverpool proved that there are happier days waiting just ahead down the road.
