Manchester United – Chicharito and Shinji Kagawa Deserve Better
Maybe this is the match that will make David Moyes understand some thing about this Manchester United team it has taken him too long to. Shinji Kagawa isn’t a left winger, no matter how much his manager wants him to be. Javier Hernandez needs to be on the pitch in those final moments and probably more. His kind of scoring ability is something that just can’t be taught.

Arsenal FC – Olivier Giroud Thriving Under These Conditions
We’re at this point of the season in which Arsenal need to start proving they’re not only winners with style, but also a team that can pull three points out of rough matches with their teeth. Their most recent victory is one of those hard to obtain ones, as Olivier Giroud continues to show just how wise Arsene Wenger was to sign him last season.

Premier League – Week 9 Results & Table
The status quo more or less remains, at least until all the matches are completed. For now, Arsenal remain at the top of the league despite remaining with 10 men for most of the second half. Liverpool, with their best performance of the season, are just behind, looking so dangerous with Luis Suarez and Daniel […]

Alexis Sanchez, Clasico King (Barcelona vs Real Madrid)
A new era in the biggest rivalry? Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo both not getting on the scoresheet? Too soon to tell, but the heroes for Barcelona were Alexis Sanchez with a beautiful goal and Neymar scoring the opener, while Real Madrid found their breakthrough with the young Jese way too late in the 2-1 defeat.

Luis Suarez Perfect in Curse Breaking (Liverpool vs WBA)
The most unusual bit in the 4-1 win for Liverpool over West Brom? They were actually enjoyable to watch for more than one half. Luis Suarez scored a hat trick, including two goals with his head, and Daniel Sturridge added another one so he’d stay ahead in the goal scoring charts, to break their team’s “curse” against the Baggies in recent years.

Mikel Arteta Shouldn’t Have Been Sent Off by Chris Foy
Although Mikel Arteta denied Marouane Chamakh the possibility of carrying on towards the Arsenal goal without interruption in the way, Chris Foy doesn’t have prophetic powers. A player fouled on the halfway line is too far away from goal to declare whether or not it’s a clear goal opportunity.

La Liga – Barcelona vs Real Madrid Predictions
The first Clasico of the season brings Real Madrid to the Camp Nou trailing Barcelona by three points, with their two new managers out there to do more than just claim a prestigious win in football’s biggest rivalry, but also prove they’re the right men for the job, erasing any doubts someone might still have.

Messi vs Ronaldo – All Their Clasico Goals
Just like in almost every possible statistical comparison between Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, the Barcelona star has a lead over the Real Madrid one when it comes to goals being scored in Clasico matches, scoring 18 to his “rival’s” 12, although he’s had a bit more time to brush up CV in this match.

Juventus FC – Antonio Conte Needs to Get Creative
For two years, the super strong midfield and the 3-5-2 or 5-3-2 system, depending on how defensive Juventus wanted to play, worked like a charm. Not a lot of goals, but there weren’t too many problems keeping a clean sheet, and winning Serie A titles. Three years into the Antonio Conte project, maybe it’s time for a slightly refreshing change.

Bayern Munich – Pep Guardiola Wants More
Winning 5-0 and still going undefeated in both the Bundesliga and the Champions League isn’t enough for Pep Guardiola. He was brought to Bayern Munich to build a dynasty, growing on the success of last year. Winning comfortably against the Czech champions is no cause for celebration.
