The phantom of Mou

September 30, 2011

Claudio Ranieri is the 4th Inter Milan’s manager  since the leaving of Josè Mourinho, just 16 months ago. The Portouguese manager left Inter Milan after the winning of Uefa Champions League on May 2010. From that moment the dressing room of the Italian club has welcome Rafa Benitez, Leonardo De Araujo and Gian Piero Gasperini. [...]

The rise and fall of Carlos Tevez

September 29, 2011

Oh how they laughed when Fergie shelled out £30 million on Dimitar Berbatov, whilst seemingly allowing Carlos Tevez to see out his loan deal and move to their bitter rivals. Back in the 08-09 season, where Tevez was struglling for games due to Fergie’s insistance on pairing Berbatov with Rooney, there was a lot of debate as to [...]

Hang Tevez out to dry

September 28, 2011

I think Graeme Souness restrained himself magnificently when describing Carlos Tevez after the striker’s refusal to come off the bench for Man City in Munich. The former Liverpool hero described the Argentine as a “bad apple” and says the club need to get rid of him ASAP. Now I’m probably not alone in thinking that [...]

Sky Sports and bad punditry

September 27, 2011

I’m not a fan of Sky Sports; despite watching it more than I should. It’s shallow and far too excitable when covering the most mundane topic. I watch it anyway and it can be funny in seeing how relentless they can be in self-promotion. What annoys me though is the punditry, and how bad it [...]

September 27, 2011

It has taken him 238 games but Robin van Persie has finally become part of the Arsenal 100 club, the question is will he reach 150 goals at the Emirates? The Dutchman’s contract in North London is due to expire in the summer of 2013 and he is refusing to rush into penning an improved [...]

Neil Lennon’s defensive pairing will be the difference in whether or not he keeps his job at Celtic

September 26, 2011

If Neil Lennon is to wrestle the Scottish Premier League title back from rivals Rangers, then a steady central defensive pairing has to be found. That’s the brutal reality that the Celtic boss now faces after watching Glenn Loovens and Dan Majstorovic’s latest car crash “performance” in the 2-0 home win against Inverness on Saturday. [...]

It was just a blip – Real and Barca’s dominance returns

September 26, 2011

As I write this Messi has glided past three defenders to add his name to the score-sheet against Athletico Madrid. It’s the 26th minute and Athletico are already 3-0 down at the Camp Nou. It’s a little embarrassing and not in the sense that Barcelona are romping home to another victory. That’s to be expected. [...]

Everton manager, David Moyes, is “a hypocrite and should be charged by the FA”.

September 26, 2011

David Moyes’s post-match comments after his Everton’s side 2-0 defeat to Manchester City on Saturday were remarkable. And not in a good way. After sending his team out to once again play their own unique brand of thuggish anti-football, he had the temerity to accuse City’s captain, Vincent Kompany, of “doing” Tim Cahil [...]

In defence of Fernando Torres

September 22, 2011

For Fernando Torres, it will be a long way back to media approval. His move to Chelsea, for a record £50m, will lead to him always being highly scrutinised and criticised for each game where he doesn’t score. His performance against Manchester United, which included a fine goal, a number of feats of fleeting footwork [...]

Steven Taylor for England

September 21, 2011

Newcastle manager Alan Pardew believes that Steven Taylor deserves an England call up. The 25-year-old centre back has been in oustanding form in a Magpies defence that has kept three clean sheets and only conceded two goals in five games. “Steven Taylor is probably playing the best football of his career for me,” said Pardew. [...]

Manchester United’s English Connection Pays Off

September 20, 2011

Manchester United are on something of a roll this season. Having despatched ‘top’ sides Arsenal, Spurs and Chelsea and scoring an astonishing fourteen goals against them in the process, the current incarnation of United looks absolutely irresistible. The remarkable thing is that on paper they look significantly weaker than in previous seasons. [...]
