André Villas-Boas. The Special One MK:II?

April 29, 2011

He has worked at Porto, Chelsea and Inter Milan while studying the game under the guidance of the late great Sir Bobby Robson. The same man has broken countless records with Porto and continues to prove his worth on the managerial stage. No, I am not talking about current Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho but [...]

April 28, 2011

BARCELONA, Spain (AP) Barcelona’s directors were meeting Thursday to decide whether to report Jose Mourinho to UEFA after the Real Madrid coach hit out at the club and its coach, Pep Guardiola, following the Catalan club’s 2-0 Champions League semifinal victory. Barcelona’s legal team was analyzing Mourinho’s news conference [...]

Weekly Report: Messi makes up for Barca behaviour

April 28, 2011

At least it was a piece of absolute quality that decided matters in the Spanish capital last night. Admittedly Pepe, the man shadowing Messi’s movement all night was no longer on the pitch (we’ll come back to that), but it was an outrageously good goal and one that that few, if any, are capable of. [...]

Why Fergie should go hammer and tong for Neuer

April 28, 2011

Last night belonged to Manchester United. Their 2-0 victory over FC Schalke 04 in Germany was masterminded by the back-in-form Wayne Rooney as the England man and United legend Ryan Giggs both struck in the space of three minutes to take a vital win away from the Veltins Arena and begin to set-up camp on [...]

Little Pea and Rooney add cutting edge to United grit

April 27, 2011

As United rumbled their way to the title number 19, most fans consoled themselves with the fact that this was not one of Sir Alex Ferguson’s vintage sides, more a cheap bottle of plonk with just enough fizz to see of their rather flat rivals. The midfield is too slow and would be outclassed by [...]

More hypocrisy from the media and Manchester United fans about those Manchester City ‘Munich’ chants

April 26, 2011

Let’s get this straight.  I’m not even going to try to defend the chants of  ‘Who put the ball in the Munichs’ net’ aimed in the general direction of Yaya Toure at last night’s Blackburn vs Manchester City game. They’re bang out of order. I will contextualise the chants, though. The use of ‘Munich’ is [...]

Lionel Messi’s half century

April 25, 2011

Barcelona – Osasuna may not attract the same audiences as the Madrid derby or El Clasico but for fans who watched the Catalan’s 2-0 win last night would have witnessed history in the process. Lionel Messi became the first player to score 50 goals in a Spanish season and, as a result, broke Ferenc Puskas’ [...]

Weekly Report: Cesc Comments and an Italian Masterclass

April 21, 2011

Still in with a shout (albeit a small one) for the league title, and with a new owner taking the reigns, there is nothing wrong with Cesc Fabregas questioning his club’s intentions. His respect for Arsene Wenger is unwavering considering how he has helped develop the Spaniard’s game, but his comments were a reflection on [...]

What’s with all the fuss about Mario Balotelli’s wink? It’s Rio Ferdinand who should be facing F.A. disciplinary action

April 19, 2011

Once more the tabloid hacks are weeing themselves trying to pin some awful deed upon Manchester City’s Mario Balotelli, after the fracas at the end of City’s surprisingly comfortable F.A. Cup semi-final win over Manchester United. Once more they’re talking from their not inconsiderably-sized bottoms. Balotelli’s offence? To [...]

Why City’s FA Cup win will see them secure the top four spot

April 17, 2011

Manchester City’s 1-0 win over bitter rivals Manchester United yesterday surprised me more than it, perhaps, should have done. It was a game scripted as one the Red Devils were to win to help secure their second treble in twelve years. Yet, a solitary Yaya Toure strike in the second half was enough to separate [...]

Why Leeds United won’t be playing Premiership football next season

April 16, 2011

Faltering Whites finally run out of steam? After yet another disappointing display today Leeds United have won just one of their last six games heading into the final 4 games of the season. At the minute they are playing like a team threatened with relegation rather than one destined for the premier league. Every fan [...]

A quartet of El Clasico’s

April 14, 2011

“Sh*t Barcelona, you’re just a sh*t Barcelona” was the, hands down, favourite chant of Spurs fans last night. It bought a smile to my face but, in hindsight, it wasn’t the worst insult in the world. Watching them first hand last night really was something special. They way they moved the ball, the control of [...]
