  • FC Barcelona – Keeping Xavi Forever

    After more than 600 matches, it’s only natural that Xavi signs one more contract that promises he’ll end his career with Barcelona, the only club he’s ever played for, unless you count the B team during his first few years as a footballer.

  • Arsenal FC – Being Patient With Olivier Giroud

    Although it’s been quite a positive start of the season for Arsenal, not everything is perfect. Aside from the demolishing of Southampton, Arsenal haven’t scored more than two goals in any of their matches, including two 0-0 draws to kick off the season. The best example of their partial scoring problems is presented in the case of Olivier Giroud.

  • Transfer Rumors 2012 – Falcao on his Way to Chelsea Again

    Maybe, for once, this is the real deal. Between Falcao scoring a hat trick against Chelsea in the European Super Cup, Fernando Torres looking like his usual self (not scoring) and Atletico Madrid in what seems to be deep financial trouble, the Colombian striker may be making his way to London very soon.

  • Real Madrid – Cristiano Ronaldo Finding His Form Again

    Steadily and slowly, Cristiano Ronaldo is putting the whole “sad & unhappy” issue behind him, and getting back to being the best player on the Real Madrid team, which is absolutely necessary if they’re to have a shot at coming back from the 8 point deficit in the always happening title race against Barcelona.

  • Transfer Rumors 2012 – Arsenal Targeting Fernando Llorente

    Looking for a striker after the summer transfer window is over is quite difficult, but with Fernando Llorente looking to take advantage of his contract situation at Bilbao and seeking a January exit, Arsenal and Arsene Wenger might finally find a solution to the departure of their best scorer and the goal problems that have appeared.

  • Arsenal FC – A Sign That This is the Season for Arsene Wenger

    A match that Arsenal usually drop might be a sign that this season will be different. Maybe a title is in the cards for Arsene Wenger and his team, which unlike most years, seem to have the mental toughness and the stout enough defense to come from behind and hang on in a very tough away match that they usually lose.

  • Manchester United – Winning Lucky is Enough for Alex Ferguson

    Another bad performance from Manchester United, but Alex Ferguson his smiling. The goals keep coming as his team came back from 0-1 at Liverpool; the referees keep making mistakes in his favor and most importantly, despite the ability, is the points that keep on coming, winning their fourth match in a row.

  • Liverpool FC – Brendan Rodgers Can’t Look Past the Referee

    An emotional day at Anfield ended badly for the home side, as Liverpool lost a lead, a player to a non existent red card in Jonjo Shelvey, a match with a penalty that never happened to Manchester United while Brendan Rodgers has to cope with injuries to Daniel Agger, Fabio Borini and Martin Kelly.

  • 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.

  • FC Barcelona – Lionel Messi Has Seen Better Days

    Another less than impressive display for Barcelona at the Camp Nou, frustrated by Granada for 87 minutes before Xavi scored the goal that gave them another three points, with Lionel Messi and David Villa grabbing most of the attention in a dull football match, getting into a heated exchange during the first half.
