  • Stating the Obvious – Fernando Torres Admits He has a Scoring Problem

    Fernando Torres has been a complete and utter failure for Chelsea since arriving from Liverpool for the ridiculous fee of £50 million just over a year a year ago. There’s no way of sugarcoating it, because strikers, no matter how well they play, need to score goals. And Torres hasn’t been playing that well anyway.

  • How Does Howard Webb Sleep at Night?

    Howard Webb keeps messing up, and it keeps happening in favor of Manchester United. Alex Ferguson immediately went out on the attack, complaining the linesman screwed Manchester United in their 3-3 draw again Chelsea, but it was a poor attempt at deflecting the usual post-match criticism of the, currently, worst referee in the Premier League.

  • Anfield, Liverpool and Visiting “Big” Clubs Create Another Draw

    Liverpool made it their 8th draw in 12 home games this season. They still haven’t lost at Anfield, with Manchester United, Manchester City and Tottenham all dropping points, but they haven’t won much either. The 0-0 draw against Spurs was more of the same in a disappointing season for Kenny Dalglish’s side.

  • 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.

  • No Need to Panic for Manchester United

    They wait for Alex Ferguson’s fall every year, and despite some seasons without the title going to Manchester United, that fall doesn’t happen. Ferguson won’t let it happen. A stronger squad, a weaker squad, it doesn’t matter. Two straight losses, including a 3-0 crushing blow against Newcastle, won’t change that.

  • 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.

  • Can Matters Get Worse For Chelsea and Andre Villas-Boas?

    Chelsea continue to mess up in matches they usually win, losing at home to Aston Villa 3-1, falling out of the top 4 creating another win-less streak while Andre Villas-Boas is running out of explanations and excuses for his defense.

  • Cristiano Ronaldo Isn’t Playing in the Best League in Europe

    Cristiano Ronaldo said in a recent interview while in Dubai that the La Liga is better than the English Premier League. His incredible numbers for Real Madrid might be the best piece of evidence against his wrongful claim.

  • Chelsea’s Problems With New, Old and Expensive

    Chelsea finished their boxing day match with Fulham in a 1-1 draw, their third consecutive 1-1 result. Andre Villas-Boas’ side is not looking good enough to finish in a top 4 position as of now, with too much problems of old, new and expensive in the way.
