  • Sergio Aguero Scores The Most Important Goal in Manchester City History

    Never has a Premiership title been decided on goal difference, but every streak ends. Manchester City won their first title since 1968, ending a 44 year drought in one of the most dramatic ending days in English football history, as Sergio Aguero scored in the 94th minute to snatch the title from United and Alex Ferguson at the last possible moment.

  • Aftermath of the City – United Manchester Derby

    Roberto Mancini did an excellent job of picking up his players from their horrendous late March – early April collapse. Having Wolves on the schedule is always nice, but instead of folding the title race, City just turned up the pressure on Manchester United, culminating in their 1-0 derby win that puts them back at the top of the table.

  • Vincent Kompany Decides Manchester Derby and Perhaps Title Race (City vs United)

    Manchester City haven’t beaten their city rivals twice in the same season since 1970. No team has ever turned an 8 point deficit this late in the season. Vincent Kompany scored the only goal at the Etihad stadium, giving City the edge over Manchester United in the Premiership title race thanks to goal difference.

  • Ashley Young Diving Again; Manchester United Winning Again

    Ashley Young took plenty of heat for his dive against QPR, helping Manchester United gain an unjust penalty, en route to a comfortable win. Alex Ferguson said there was no dive. Not much later, another easy home game for Manchester United, another penalty opener after a disgraceful dive by Ashely Young.

  • Winners & Losers From the Best Night of European Football This Year

    Cristiano Ronaldo scoring a hat trick out of nothing, calming the stormy waters around Real Madrid and Jose Mourinho. Robert Lewandowski brings a title with a little flick, while Arjen Robben misses big once again. Alessandro Del Piero saves Antonio Conte once again. Alex Ferguson find time to complain about referees. Montpellier keep on shocking France. Ajax pushing through a crazy title race in Holland.

  • Alex Ferguson & Manchester United Doing it Again

    Alex Ferguson always talks about hitting the stride around late February, pulling into March, April and May in full force. You can drop point earlier on, but it’s important to be at your best in the months that matter. Manchester United, beating WBA 2-0 and climbing to the top of the Premier League at the expense of Manchester City, are doing exactly that.

  • Embarrassing Home Loss for Manchester United Who Simply Didn’t Care

    When Patrice Evra spoke about feeling embarassed about playing in the Europa League, it was time to put your money on Bilbao. Manchester United care nothing for minor titles. Alex Ferguson isn’t Jose Mourinho, telling people his first year with Real was a great success because he won the League Cup. The Champions League and the Premier League are the only things that matter.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Guardiola Deserves to Win Coach of the Year

    Three months ago Marca gave Jose Mourinho the coach of the year award. For what? For finishing second in the Spanish League behind Barcelona, losing to Barcelona in the Champions League Semi Final and winning the Copa del Rey. His only improvement was Real’s Champions League finish. Pep Guardiola? A little bit better with Barcelona.
