  • The NBA’s New CBA – Teams Hurt the Most

    The NBA Lockout didn’t level the playing field for small market teams. It went after those with a lot of big contracts, like the Miami Heat with LeBron, Wade and Bosh. The rich teams in big markets and those with wealthy and spending owners like Mark Cuban can keep on spending.

  • Best Match of the Season (Napoli vs Juventus)

    Juventus and Napoli delivering a fantastic 3-3 draw, as Juve remain undefeated in the Serie A was probably the best match we’ve seen this season, while Liverpool keep beating Chelsea, Aguero nabbed one for City against Arsenal and Barcelona easily thrashed Rayo Vallecano.

  • Didier Drogba Following the Money

    Didier Drogba’s contract at Chelsea expires this season, and he doesn’t like the one year deal offered to him by the club. According to his agent, this will probably be his last season with Chelsea and the English Premier League as he searches for the most profitable deal.

  • Around Europe From Manchester to Madrid

    As with every week, the matches of Manchester City and United in England, Real Madrid and Barcelona in Spain draw most of the interest around Europe. However, the two biggest matches this weekend were in France between Marseille and PSG and in Germany, between Dortmund and Schalke.

  • Doctor Joe Hart and Mister Mario Balotelli (Liverpool vs Manchester City)

    Joe Hart was superman on the goal-line as Liverpool, with Luis Suarez and a fantastic Lucas throwing everything they had at him. A 1-1 draw came as a good result for Manchester City, especially after losing Mario Balotelli to a foolish red card.

  • Andre Villas-Boas Failing in Revolutionizing Chelsea

    Andre Villas-Boas has reached that point in his Chelsea career where it wouldn’t surprise anyone, despite his short time as manager, if he’d got axed by Roman Abramovich pretty soon.

  • PSG Shouldn’t Sign David Beckham

    Paris Saint-Germain are leading Ligue 1 in France, but only sharing the lead. Ownership, via Director of Football Leonardo, aren’t happy. David Beckham signing will bring short term gain, possibly, or may seal Antoine Kombouare’s fate and end his term as head coach of PSG.

  • Zlatan Doesn’t Get His Revenge (Milan vs Barcelona)

    Lionel Messi was involved in all three Barcelona goals (goal, assist and a set up) as Barca fought off a combative Milan side which came back twice through Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Kevin-Prince Boateng, not finding enough to come back from 3-2 at the San Siro.

  • Real Madrid Romp and Champions League Bits

    Real Madrid’s easy 6-2 win over Dinamo Zagreb speaks little about Real’s true ability and volumes about how bad some of the teams in the Champions League really are. Meanwhile, Napoli’s win over Manchester City was the best show this season in the tournament.

  • And Then Came Glen Johnson (Chelsea vs Liverpool)

    Glen Johnson scored a fantastic winning goal at the 86th minute after a fine slalom through the Chelsea defense, giving Liverpool a dramatic 2-1 win at Stamford Bridge.
