  • Heroic Lewandowski and Tragic Arjen Robben (Dortmund vs Bayern)

    Robert Lewandowski scored the only goal in Dortmund’s 1-0 win over Bayern, but it was Arjen Robben’s name written all over the frantic ending to what should be the title game for the 2011-2012 Bundesliga season, with the Dutch winger failing three times in 13 minutes, placing hims as the tragic figure of the match.

  • Who Said Lionel Messi Never Cheats?

    Lionel Messi isn’t all incredible scoring, titles and setting individual and team records with Barcelona. Apparantly, he’s gotten a lesson or two from Diego Maradona about scoring with your hands, although Messi’s attempt against Getafe didn’t turn out so well.

  • Hatem Ben Arfa Scored a Wonder Goal That May Put Newcastle in the Champions League

    Hatem Ben Arfa rarely scores boring goals, and his fantastic solo effort against Bolton was nothing but boring, paving the way for Newcastle towards a 2-0 victory against Bolton, edging closer to usurp the slipping Tottenham for the last spot in the Champions League race.

  • English Premier League Referees at an All-Time Low

    Mario Balotelli should have been sent off for his disgusting challenge on Alex Song, although he did get what he deserved much later. Ashley Young was offside but won a penalty through an embarrassing dive against QPR while Branislav Ivanovic was simply offside when scored for Chelsea against Wigan.

  • The Best 0-0 Draw I’ve Ever Seen (Real Madrid vs Valencia)

    Real Madrid began their toughest stretch of the season with a disappointing 0-0 draw at home against Valencia, cutting their lead over Barcelona in the La Liga title race to only 4 points. It isn’t getting easier down the road, with an away derby, visits to Barcelona and Bilbao and the Champions League Semi Final against Bayern Munich.

  • Mikel Arteta Goal Ends Manchester City Title Dreams

    Mikel Arteta waited for the 87th minute to send a dagger and score the only goal in Arsenal’s 1-0 win over Manchester City, breaking Roberto Mancini and Manchester City’s fans hearts by making it an 8 point gap between Manchester United and the second place, as Arsene Wenger helped Alex Ferguson win (probably) another Premier League title.

  • Lionel Messi Doesn’t Have Many Goal Scoring Records Left to Break

    Lionel Messi keeps can’t stop scoring, reaching 60 goals in all competitions for Barcelona this season after bagging a brace against Zaragoza, becoming the first player in Europe to score 60 since Gerd Muller, who played for Bayern Munich, in the 1972-1973 season.

  • Xherdan Shaqiri & Stefano Mauri With Two Brilliant Scissor Kick Goals

    Xherdan Shaqiri might just be Bayern Munich’s next big star, but he’s still scoring big goals for FC Basel en route to another league title in Switzerland. Stefano Mauri won’t be winning any league titles this season, but his goal for Lazio in their 3-1 win over Napoli was equally impressive.

  • Luis Suarez Should Leave the Premier League at the End of the Season

    Luis Suarez might be an Anfield darling and Liverpool’s best player, but under the current circumstances, mostly revolving around the team’s terrible form and rather depressing direction adjoined with his problems with English referees, a change of scenery might be good for the Uruguayan striker.

  • Can We Already Announce Kenny Dalglish and Liverpool as the Failure of the Year?

    Kenny Dalglish may be an Anfield hero, but even among Liverpool fans it’s difficult to find those happy with his work this season with the club he was supposed to take back to greatness, given plenty of funds and patience from the American owners. A Carling Cup and a potential FA Cup won’t cover up the mess in the Premier League, no matter how you spin it.
