  • Luis Suarez and Patrice Evra Saga Long From Over

    I’m a sucker for feuds, long going ones between players. If both Luis Suarez and Patrice Evra stay put for at least a couple of more seasons at Liverpool and Manchester United, we’ll be getting plenty of more fireworks in the upcoming United and Liverpool matches, who were never exactly a calm fixture anyway.

  • Rooney Comes Out as Big Winner For United

    Luis Suarez scored his goal, but didn’t shake hands with Patrice Evra prior to the match which worsened the already tense and aggressive atmosphere at Old Trafford, and more importantly, didn’t win. Wayne Rooney scored twice within three minutes and came out as the big winner in the Manchester United vs Liverpool encounter thanks to his cool head and awareness.

  • Patrick Vieira Presents the Anti Manchester City Conspiracy Theory

    Manchester City lead the Premier League by two points, despite at certain points during the season clearly showing they are the top side in England, and not just in their bank account but by quality of football, right, even better then the never ending Manchester United. According to Patrick Vieira, a possible conspiracy to stop them from winning the title could eventually derail Roberto Mancini and his title aspirations.

  • Harry Redknapp Leading Odds for England Manager

    Harry Redknapp will be England’s next manager, if the bookies are to be believed. They usually know a thing or two about what’s about to go down, which isn’t exactly good for any sport, but that’s a different matter. The pundits, rumor mills and pretty much everyone have the loveable (to some) Spurs manager labeled as the man to take over Capello’s work.

  • A Quick Glance at a Busy Football Wednesday Around the Globe

    Fabio Capello may have stoled the off pitch headlines last night with resigning, surprising to some, maybe a bit less to others, but it was a busy European and African night, with Juventus grabbing a 2-1 win over AC Milan in the Italian Cup, Barcelona beating Valencia and Zambia stunning Ghana, setting up the final against the Ivory Coast.

  • Nothing Surprising About Fabio Capello Quitting His England Job

    Fabio Capello was on the hot seat since the 2010 World Cup. Since Frank Lampard’s ball bounced out of the goal, more or less. An unimpressive but fruitful Euro 2012 campaign didn’t make things easier and nicer between the FA and the highest paid manager in international football, and eventually, John Terry’s armband cost him his job.

  • Manchester United vs Liverpool – Dalglish and Ferguson Heating it Up

    Manchester United and Liverpool, no matter the table position (which is always United higher up the charts in the last 20 years), is always the most heated big rivalry in the Premier League. With United’s title hopes on the line, with Liverpool’s European dreams on the line, the Suarez-Evra presence, with Ferguson and Dalglish steering the wheels, we’re in for a fiery one.

  • How Does Howard Webb Sleep at Night?

    Howard Webb keeps messing up, and it keeps happening in favor of Manchester United. Alex Ferguson immediately went out on the attack, complaining the linesman screwed Manchester United in their 3-3 draw again Chelsea, but it was a poor attempt at deflecting the usual post-match criticism of the, currently, worst referee in the Premier League.

  • Anfield, Liverpool and Visiting “Big” Clubs Create Another Draw

    Liverpool made it their 8th draw in 12 home games this season. They still haven’t lost at Anfield, with Manchester United, Manchester City and Tottenham all dropping points, but they haven’t won much either. The 0-0 draw against Spurs was more of the same in a disappointing season for Kenny Dalglish’s side.

  • Too Much Talk of Peace Talks Between Liverpool and Manchester United

    Liverpool and Manchester United clashes are now compared to wars, or warring countries, as the constant demand for peace, from both sides, mostly due to the events that led to Luis Suarez getting banned for his racial abuse of Patrice Evra, and the way Kenny Dalglish, the Liverpool players and the club have handled the aftermath of the incident.
