  • Rooney Comes Out as Big Winner For United

    Luis Suarez scored his goal, but didn’t shake hands with Patrice Evra prior to the match which worsened the already tense and aggressive atmosphere at Old Trafford, and more importantly, didn’t win. Wayne Rooney scored twice within three minutes and came out as the big winner in the Manchester United vs Liverpool encounter thanks to his cool head and awareness.

  • Arsenal vs Manchester United – No Revenge For Wenger

    Antonio Valencia was Manchester United’s man once again, as his return to his usual position on the wing gave Alex Ferguson another win and denied the revenge Arsenal and Arsene Wenger have been dreaming of since very early on in the season, as Valencia scored the first and set up Welbeck’s second, besting Robin van Persie’s goal in a 2-1 at the Emirates.

  • Manchester City vs Tottenham – Mario Balotelli, Villain and Hero

    Mario Balotelli shouldn’t have been on the pitch when he got the chance to give Manchester City a goal, and win, that probably knocked Tottenham out of the title race. Howard Webb missed the vicious step on Parker’s head, and the villainous Italian scored the injury time penalty, giving the league leaders a dramatic 3-2 win.

  • Is the Bundesliga the Best League in Europe?

    The return from the winter break wasn’t kind to league leaders Bayern Munich, losing to a well prepared and efficient Borussia Monchengladbach 3-1 at the Borussia-Park, bringing Gladbach to only a point behind the Bavarian giants with goals from Marco Reus and a Patrick Hermann brace.

  • Real Madrid vs Barcelona – Unlikely Scorers in Fiery Clasico

    Cristiano Ronaldo opened the scoring and disappeared, Lionel Messi settled for one assist but nothing new as to the winner of yet another fiery Clasico, with Barcelona coming back again to beat Real Madrid at the Bernabeu with goals by Carles Puyol and Eric Abidal.

  • Bad Refereeing Can’t Ruin Fantastic Manchester Derby

    One year ago, when Kenny Dalglish made his return at the manager position with Liverpool, he saw Steven Gerrard sent off because of a dive which got Howard Webb to use his highly unstable sense of judgement and send Gerrard off. Manchester United enjoyed Chris Foy’s terrible decision making to help them beat Manchester City 3-2 in the FA Cup.

  • Cristiano Ronaldo Scores Number 21 in Real Madrid Romp

    Karim Benzema scored twice, reaching 10 league goals this season, standing out in Real Madrid’s impressive return to La Liga action with a 5-1 romp against Granada, with Sergio Ramos, Gonzalo Higuain and Cristiano Ronaldo joining the celebration.

  • Dalglish Busy With Suarez-Evra Makes for an Ill-Prepared Liverpool Against Manchester City

    Manchester City were simply too good for the offensively handicapped Liverpool, as their manager let Luis Suarez begin his ban, lost decisively 3-0 and went on to throw hints and allegations about the whole Suarez-Evra incident at the post game press conference.

  • David Silva is Just Enough (Manchester City vs Arsenal)

    David Silva was all Manchester City need to keep Arsenal out of the title race, as the Spanish wiz scored the winner in the 53rd minute to give City a 1-0 win and regain the lead over Manchester United (two points) as we enter the hectic Christmas period.

  • Too Much Messi and Xavi for Neymar and Co. (Barcelona vs Santos)

    Lionel Messi scored twice in another sublime performance, alongside a perfect play making performance from Xavi. Neymar was helpless as his Santos team were clearly way in over their heads, losing 4-0 to Barcelona in the FIFA Club World Cup Final, leaving Pele as the only one believing Neymar to be the best in the world.
