  • Chelsea FC – Fernando Torres Looking Bad Again

    A new season, and the gamble to make Fernando Torres the only true striker in the squad isn’t exactly paying off for Chelsea, despite collecting another win without playing too well. He has scored two league goals, but he’s back to the old depressed and frustrated look, while Di Matteo tries to finally get the attacking midfield going.

  • 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.

  • Transfer Rumors 2012 – Sergio Ramos Leaving Real Madrid to Chelsea

    One benching, and the rumors start flying. Sergio Ramos didn’t like what Jose Mourinho had to say about the players after Real Madrid lost to Sevilla and didn’t remain quiet about it, probably causing his benching in the Champions League. Now, the transfer speculations are out, with Chelsea as the first name on the list of potential interested teams.

  • 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.

  • Real Madrid – Jose Mourinho Suing Everyone

    The turmoils at Real Madrid seem to be over, at least in the dressing room, but the 3-2 win hasn’t calmed down the club or its manager, Jose Mourinho, regarding criticism of him and the team, preparing lawsuits against Marca editor-in-chief Roberto Palomar and Barcelona vice-president Alfons Godall.

  • Liverpool FC – Discovering the Scoring of Jonjo Shelvey

    The world of the Europa League and matches against Young Boys seems like a different galaxy than the English Premier League, but Liverpool can still find more than one positive from their dramatic 5-3 win in Switzerland, warming up for their ultra-important rivalry match against Manchester United.

  • Transfer Rumors 2012 – Manchester United Chasing Angelo Ogbonna

    Despite having quite a deep squad, especially at centre back, Alex Ferguson isn’t pleased with what he has at Manchester United behind Nemanja Vidic, and is looking to sign Italian central defender Angelo Ogbonna from Torino, who was also part of Italy’s squad to Euro 2012.

  • FC Barcelona – Lionel Messi is Great; What About the Rest

    Sometimes, it’s just a matter of luck, and Spartak Moscow, who defended for most of the match with 11 players in their own box, were a tad lucky to score two goals against Barcelona at the Camp Nou. But it would be lying to say that everything is fine in the Barca defense, and that Lionel Messi saving the day with two second half goals is going to work every time.

  • Manchester United – Alex Ferguson Not Pleased With 100th Win

    It’s not just Nani being the third player in two weeks to miss a penalty, and it’s not just the fact that almost everyone of his stars and key players was under-performing. Alex Ferguson wasn’t pleased, perhaps even worried, because Manchester United shouldn’t have won their match at home against Galatasaray.
