  • Who Said Lionel Messi Never Cheats?

  • 4 Thoughts on 4 Champions League Semi Finalists

    Barcelona against Chelsea, Real Madrid against Bayern Munich. Three mega clubs, and one nuvo riche side fallen upon troubling times from a professional standpoint, but still had enough to make it through. The makings of a great Champions League Semi Final? Mostly, yes.

  • Real Madrid and the Directions Jose Mourinho Takes

    Jose Mourinho is playing a weird mind game with… I’m not sure exactly who. The Media? Barcelona? His own players? Whatever it is, it’s working this season, and although he reverted to his old annoying habits after two draws against Villareal and Malaga, Real Madrid are back on track after a 3-0 win in Cyprus over APOEL Nicosia in the Champions League.

  • Real Madrid & Jose Mourinho Not So Confident Anymore

    Real Madrid, as a club – manager and players all together, simply took a rifle and shot themselves in the foot.

  • Real Madrid & Jose Mourinho Too Good to Start Slipping Now

    Real Madrid and Jose Mourinho have a chance of doing something special this season.

Talking and whining about unimportant things can just derail the team from it’s incredible path.

  • Pep Guardiola: I’m Nothing Like Mourinho

    Pep Guardiola wasn’t slow to answer back after Jose Mourinho made his usual insinuation about Barcelona.

  • Jose Mourinho Returns to Trash Talk While Staying With Real Madrid

    Jose Mourinho is about to break his golden rule – more than two seasons with the same club.

  • Roman Abramovich And the Chelsea Managers He’s Fired Over the Years

    Roman Abramovich likes to keep it interesting on the Chelsea sidelines and the dressing room, going through managers like dirty socks. Claudio Ranieri, Jose Mourinho, Avram Grant, Luiz Felipe Scolari, Carlo Ancelotti and last (and least) Andre Villas-Boas have all gotten the firing treatment. Who’s next?

  • Jose Mourinho Late Substitution Cost Real Madrid the Win?

    Real Madrid were on their way to get a precious 1-0 away win over CSKA Moscow, but suffered a 93rd minute equalizer from the legs of Pontus Wernbloom. Jose Mourinho probably played this one too cautiously, making a defensive substitution in the closing minutes that might have cost him the victory.

  • Jose Mourinho Can Finally Relax

    Jose Mourinho and Real Madrid have opened a 13 point, seemingly un-erasable lead at the top of the La Liga, with Barcelona’s chances of catching up somewhere between slim to none. He still hasn’t won a league or Champions league clasico, but there’s no doubt that the Special One’s stocks are on the rise once again.
