  • Mark Halsey Steals Show with Penalty and Red Card(Liverpool vs Manchester United)

    Instead of Liverpool and Steven Gerrard celebrating on a day that was all about Hillsborough, a red card and a penalty kick that never actually should have been called by Mark Halsey gave Manchester United enough of an advantage, winning 2-1 through a beautiful Rafael goal and a Robin van Persie penalty kick.

  • Premier League – Liverpool vs Manchester United Predictions

    For the 149th time, Liverpool and Manchester United will clash in the biggest rivalry English football has to offer, as Anfield will be the venue, overshadowed by the Hillsborough report and the release of the information that exonerates Liverpool fans, especially the 96 who died, from any wrongdoing on that tragic day.

  • Premier League – Manchester City vs Arsenal Predictions

    The biggest test thus far for both sides of the new season, as Manchester City host Arsenal in what should be a testy encounter if the matches from last season are any indication. The gunners will try and keep their almost perfect defensive record intact, hoping to be the first to beat the champions this season.

  • English Premier League – Match Week 5 Predictions

    A very interesting weekend, with most of the focus on the Sunday matches, as Arsenal travel to face the champions Manchester City and Manchester United visit Anfield, playing Liverpool in the Merseyside derby. League leaders Chelsea play on Saturday, hosting the always difficult Stoke City at Stamford Bridge.

  • Goal Line Technology – Everton & Victor Anichebe get Robbed

    Once again, the need for goal line technology and not just human eyes of referees and linesmen was proven, this time at Goodison Park. Everton failed to beat Newcastle (2-2), having two perfectly fine goals, one by Marouane Fellaini (for an offside that wasn’t there), the other by Victor Anichebe (ball did cross the line), disallowed or simply go unnoticed.

  • Transfer Rumors 2012 – Chelsea & Manchester United After Marouane Fellaini

    First it was Marouane Fellaini saying there’s a chance he might not be an Everton man forever, maybe not even past January 2013. Then came the interest and speculations from the big clubs, more specifically meaning Manchester United and Chelsea, both aching for some impressive midfield presence.

  • Manchester United – Danny Welbeck is Their Next Dirty Diver

    In the end, it didn’t really matter. Manchester United scored four goals in the second half, beating Wigan convincingly. The first half penalty won by Danny Welbeck and missed by Javier Hernandez didn’t change a thing, but that doesn’t change the fact that Ali Al Habsi never touched the player.

  • Liverpool FC – Finding the Best in Luis Suarez

    It wouldn’t be too far fetched to declare Luis Suarez the most hated footballer in the Premier League at the moment, and not because of what he said to Patrice Evra. Another no-win for Liverpool, a 1-1 draw at Sunderland, as Suarez scored their only goal, but another display of behavior from the Uruguayan you simply find harder and harder to overlook.

  • Chelsea FC – Frank Lampard Shouldn’t Be Starting

    A boring 0-0 draw between Chelsea (dropping their first points this season) peaked before it ever started, with the hand shake that never happened, while Chelsea, with its mega-millions team found it hard to gain control of the action with their lackluster midfield, and another example of how old and past his prime Frank Lampard is these days.

  • Arsenal FC – Lukas Podolski Starting to Get Comfortable

    One of those matches without one real hero – Just a very good and effective display from Arsenal, who had everything going for them from the first moment. But because Arsene Wenger tried so hard to find a replacement for Van Persie, it’s necessary to concede that Lukas Podolski, for the second straight match, looks like a perfect substitute so far.
