    Manchester United – The January Shopping List

    It’s quite clear to everyone that Manchester United are in need of new players and good ones as soon as January. According to reports in England, it’s going to be about more than just one signing, and the January shortlist includes Ross Barkley of Everton, Blaise Matuidi of Paris Saint-Germain and Kevin Strootman of AS Roma.

    Premier League – Week 16 Results & Table

    A big day for everyone near the top of the table that isn’t called Arsenal, with Manchester City beating the Gunners quite decisively at the Etihad, where they are the best in the Premier League. Chelsea, beating Crystal Palace, were another team that enjoyed this result immensely despite not playing very well in their win.

  • Match Highlights – Manchester City vs Arsenal

    For now, Arsenal remain in the top spot of the Premier League, but there might be a consensus pick for the best team: Manchester City. Another dominant home display in what has probably been the most entertaining match this season so far and a 6-3 win over the Gunners, as Fernandinho and Theo Walcott both finish with braces.

  • Neymar Gets Everyone to Shut Up (Barcelona vs Celtic)

    Neymar Gets Everyone to Shut Up (Barcelona vs Celtic)

    While Barcelona were going through their mini slump, Neymar had to endure quite a lot of criticism. Not for playing badly, but for simply not being Lionel Messi, as even his manager tried to take off the pressure but might have added instead, suggesting that he’s never going to be the kind of scorer the Argentine is. So the Brazilian decided to be himself, scoring a hat trick against poor Celtic in a 6-1 win.

  • Manchester United Transfer Rumors – Will Try to Sign Koke

    Manchester United Transfer Rumors – Will Try to Sign Koke

    It’s quite clear that things can’t carry on this way at Manchester United, going by their poor league form. So who can the team bring to improve things? Atletico Madrid have been an excellent stage for Koke over the last three years to show his immense talents, and it won’t be surprising to see the Red Devils make a move for him, possibly even in January.

  • Chelsea FC Transfer Rumors – Will Try to Sign Wayne Rooney Again

    Chelsea FC Transfer Rumors – Will Try to Sign Wayne Rooney Again

    The fact that Chelsea failed to convince Manchester United into selling Wayne Rooney to them over the summer doesn’t mean the “dream” is over, and it’s more than likely that they’ll make another move for the England international at the end of this season.

    Champions League – All 16 Teams in the Knockout Stage

  • Champions League – Week 6 Results & Tables (Group E – H)

    Champions League – Week 6 Results & Tables (Group E – H)

    A very dramatic finish to the group of death, as Napoli beat Arsenal to finish as the third team with 12 points, but not by enough goals, as Borussia Dortmund beating Marseille with a very late goal that put them on top of the group. Milan barely made it through, joining a very dominant Barcelona […]

  • UEFA Doesn’t Care About Anyone (Galatasaray vs Juventus)

    UEFA Doesn’t Care About Anyone (Galatasaray vs Juventus)

    To blame UEFA for everything will be an act of negligence by Juventus, who simply looked awful in the continuation of their crucial group stage match in Istanbul against Galatasaray. But besides their own mistakes, the pitch should never have been played on, and the weather, still snowing, hailing and raining, would have delayed the match to a different time if a normal organization was running things.

  • Manchester United Finally Finding The Right Lineup?

    Manchester United Finally Finding The Right Lineup?

    A 1-0 win over Shakhtar Donetsk isn’t what will take the pressure off of David Moyes or suddenly turn Manchester United into a machine that will run off on the Premier League, but a lineup and formation used by David Moyes late in the match, which had Robin van Persie, Wayne Rooney, Shinji Kagawa and Adnan Januzaj all playing together might be a partial answer to the team’s problems in the league.
