Real Madrid coach Juande Ramos stayed calm and positive after his team’s first loss in the league to inform Barcelona: I am satisfied with the display of football put on by my team. They did what they had to do with pride and generosity and we came close to a better result. Barcelona capitalized and [...]
Earlier this week I didn’t even think Madrid were capable of beating a team of sissies, let alone Zenit or a finely tuned in form goal machine the likes of Barcelona. Today however, I’m a little baffled cause Real look like a whole different team, even after just one win. Anyway, whatevert the case may [...]
Man. United 2 v 2 AaBWhen Tevez opened the scoring for United after just 3 minutes, I started stroking my ego cause I thought I’d picked another correct result with my predictions for this round. I stepped away from the telly for a half hour and couldn’t believe my eyes when I returned to see [...]
Alright, we get it! Nike have discovered the Hue/Saturation button in Photoshop and now they’re pumping out colors quicker than you can actually guess what’s gonna be next. These lime beauties were the latest ones doing the rotation during this weeks Champions League matches and they’re not too shabby… well not as hideous as the [...]
PSV 1 v 3 LiverpoolLiverpool heaped more misery on poor ‘ol PSV with a 3-1 thrashing in Eindhoven. The Boeren (Farmers) were playing with the hope of making it to the Uefa Cup and after a shaky opening half hour they managed to sneak their way in front with a Danko Lazovic goal… that’s when [...]
I’m a big fan of animation, massive even… I love crafty commercials and I live, breath and eat football… so this latest campaign by the clever minds over at Nike appeals to me on so many levels. What throws me off a little is their need for fancy coloured boots, as I laid claim here [...]
All the teams to qualify for the next phase have been decided from Groups E to H, so it’s just a matter of who finishes first / second… oh and then there’s the Uefa Cup spots up for grabs too. But no-one “really” cares for this competition cause it’s like the Champions League’s fatter, uglier [...]
C’mon, as if you didn’t see this one coming!? The writing was on the wall after Real’s loss to at the weekend to Sevilla… oh and of course when he said this in the pre-match press conference: The game against Barcelona worries me less than any other game. It is not possible to win because [...]
So we are down to the business end of the UCL group stage which is always an exciting time! At the moment only 3 teams from Groups A to D have progressed to the next stage and after tomorrow’s matches, a further 5 teams would have too.The only way this could get more interesting is [...]
I like spectacular goals, especially by spectacular players, but we just don’t see them enough these days… so take heed all you supertars! Sure there are long range efforts that rattle cross bars and wrong foot goal keepers… but acrobatics in football is a dying art form and you just don’t see it enough these [...]
Villa was lucky to escape Goodison Park with all three points last night, especially when Ashley Young was gifted the second goal… and then bagged the third deep, deep, deeeeeep into injury time… I don’t know how much added time the referee played, I haven’t checked it yet but it certainly seemed like a long [...]
Desperate to impress his manager and regain a starting position in the first eleven, Carlos Tevez stole the show at Old Trafford last night and if it hadn’t been for the woodwork midway through the second half, he may have had his fifth of the match. Like a Godzilla stumbling through the streets of Japan, [...]
The Wenger Boys dream run came to a premature end when they were shot down by giant killers Burnley… boys, premature, shot down… I ain’t even gonna bother with this one, watch the match highlights instead… gross! Match highlights:Note: Ignore the Ferg and Ince interviews at the start
Ignore the delay in this post, I was waiting for the hog wash to settle and for the real reason to come out as to why Ronaldo did what Heurelho Gomes can’t do; punch the ball away in the box, mid flight… so without further adu: Rooney took the corner, I jumped and that was [...]
Holy shit! I predicted Arsenal beating Chelsea at Stamford Bridge and it actually happened!? And by the exact score line too! Man, that’s crazy town! Ok, ok, so the scorers I blurted out were all messed up, but I did however claim that a hero would stand out amongst the crowd; and like clockwork that [...]
