Texas A&M Aggies – Johnny Manziel Shouldn’t Change a Thing
If pointing at the scoreboard while you’re winning is wrong, than something is very wrong with College Football and even sports. Johnny Manziel might not be the most mature quarterback to star in the NCAA, but taunting opponents and doing a something that makes him look less of a robot doesn’t make him an idiot, immature or give Texas A&M any reason to further suspend him.

Referee Dieter Van Esch With the Worst Decision of the Season
It’s hard to believe how blind a refereeing crew can be, even when there’s no real need for a replay back at home to see what actually happened. In a match between Royal Antwerp and Geel (Belgian second division) referee Dieter Van Esch managed to completely blow a situation in which a dive by Marijn Steurs of Geel, which happened outside the box, turned into a penalty kick despite the non-foul.

Manchester United Transfer Rumors – Marouane Fellaini Signing Getting Closer
It’s going to take a few more hours (and maybe a bit more than that) before we get a clear picture about the situation between Manchester United and Everton regarding the chances of Marouane Fellaini ending up with the Red Devils, but looking at the most recent transaction made by the Toffees, there’s a good chance the Belgian midfielder is on his way to Old Trafford.

Real Madrid Transfer Rumors – Last Attempt to Sign Luis Suarez
Even with the arrival of the most expensive football in history, Luis Suarez is still someone Real Madrid haven’t given up on, and are going to try and make one last attempt at signing the Liverpool striker, hoping that a substantial bid from a club that isn’t in the Premier League will be enough to convince Liverpool to sell.

Arsenal FC Transfer Rumors – Mesut Ozil Very Close to Signing
The last day of the transfer window is always a hectic one with plenty of news, rumors and suggestions that often lead to nothing, but it seems like Arsenal chasing down Mesut Ozil and signing him from Real Madrid is turning into reality.

Real Madrid – Cristiano Ronaldo Forgets About Frustrating Start
The real hit so far this season for Real Madrid has been Isco, scoring three goals on his first three matches for the club, but everyone is looking at Cristiano Ronaldo. The new contract, the lack of goals (until now), the frustrated appearance. Maybe the first goal of the season means a new start, even if he’s still not really digging the way he’s playing under Carlo Ancelotti.

FC Barcelona – Lionel Messi Can’t Get Any Better Than This
There’s nothing surprising anymore about Lionel Messi finishing the first half with a hat-trick. Barcelona look like a completely different team with and without their Argentine star, but sometimes it’s shocking to see the difference one player, as talented as he may be, make by actually being fit for a match.

Arsenal FC – Olivier Giroud Might Not be so Bad After All
Even if Arsene Wenger does have a short squad which forces him to use full backs as attacking wingers, there’s enough quality to maintain dominance in the North London derby, with Santi Cazorla proving he’s the best player the team has, while Theo Walcott and Olivier Giroud continue to improve their partnership in what should have been more than just one goal.

Manchester United – Robin van Persie Needs David Moyes to Help Him
Having the best striker in the Premier League isn’t enough. Even someone like Robin van Persie needs a decent enough supply of passes in order to conjure something. Unfortunately for him, David Moyes has done nothing during this summer to improve on that aspect, while the selections he makes (leaving out Shinji Kagawa and Wilfried Zaha) seem to be hurting Manchester United more than actually helping the team.

Liverpool FC – Simon Mignolet Has Been Worth Every Penny
More than anything else, Liverpool winning the Northwest derby was brought on thanks to their defensive strengths, and not the scoring ability of Daniel Sturridge. Even with Daniel Agger missing his usual partner at centre back, the ability of Simon Mignolet radiated confidence everywhere, not to mention being at the right place at the right time whenever his heroics are needed.
