This weekend put the league into perspective as both Manchester United and Arsenal drew closer to Chelsea who were held yet again… me wonder’s how they’ll cope when their African stars shoot off in Jan. Liverpool turned yet another corner, hopefully there’s not another brick wall waiting for them at Villa Park tomorrow. Mancini made [...]

Now there's only one major trophy left for him to win...

Last night FIFA held yet another ceremony and handed out a couple of trophies to confirm what most people around the world already knew… Lionel Messi is FIFA’s World Player Of The Year. After a stellar year filled with over sized silverware, accolades and praise the only thing eluding the young striker now is the [...]

And a thank you to all who took part

With all the festivities and secret Xmas parties taking place in Dublin at the moment, you must excuse me for not getting this up sooner… I’ve been trying to avoid the wrath of ‘Arry and thus been avoiding my computer. So, a big CONGRATULATIONS must go out to Abraham Acedo of Arizona for a) being [...]

Manchester City 4 v 3 Sunderland

Everyone’s Christmases came at once over at the middle East lands the other night. The snow was falling thick and fast, Roque Santa Cruz managed a rare start and an even rarer deuce (he should have partnered Tevez up front a long time ago) and shortly after the match had ended Mark Hughes was sacked [...]

Estudiantes 1 v 2 Barcelona

Late goals, fine football and a fiery atmosphere capped off an amazing night as FC Barcelona notched up their sixth piece of silverware this year (Club World Cup, Primera Division, UEFA Champions League, Copa del Rey and European and Spanish Super Cup titles), a feat never accomplished by any team. They again had to come [...]

Fulham 3 v 0 Manchester United

It’s about time United got a good ‘ol serving of ‘Foot up the Ass’, maybe now they’ll awake from their stupor and start playing some football… or maybe… maybe the aliens that have abducted their minds will keep hold of them till another team from the Premier League wins the title… as long as it’s [...]

Portsmouth 2 v 0 Liverpool

In my predictions, I suggested that with their mid-week win over Wigan, Liverpool may have turned a corner and things might start looking up for the team come the new year… um, it looks like they may have just hit a brick wall, real, real fast and Rafa doesn’t want to believe it yet. Sky [...]

As the final of the Club World Cup approaches, it seems as though the old pipe smoking ladies at FIFA got their dream match and one that will financially benefit all parties involed… as well as raise the discussion of which club teams are better, those from Europe or those from South America? All I [...]

With the taste of mid week action still fresh in their mouths, all the teams return to action at the weekend for another round of the Premiership. Liverpool seem as though they may have finally turned a corner, while Tottenham and Villa are as keen as mustard to bag themselves Champions League football next season. [...]

With Barcelona making magic in the UAE for the next few days, our amigos over at Heads of Tails inform us that the Spanish press are having a field day trying to predict who will replace the injured Pepe in Madrid’s defense. Will it be Sergio Ramos in central defense, Marcelo as left back and [...]

The aim this round was to do better than my predictions on the weekend and it’s safe to say, like Tottenham against a sloppy Man City, I kicked them out of the park while predicting 5 out of 8 results. Gameweek score: 5 out of 8 Weekend conclusions: Liverpool finally scraped a win but is [...]

It must be pretty hard to keep a level head when a stadium erupts into chanting your name every time they see you on the jumbo screen, but from the moment he came on as a second half substitute, that’s exactly what Lionel Messi did. A moment of good build up work led to Ibrahimovic [...]

Club World Cup - Semi Final 2

If watching unknown Mexican teams getting ploughed be European Champions is your thing, good news… tonight is your night bro! And if last night’s semi-final was anything to go by, I’m expecting more goals and a few more red cards (predominately to Atylante), just to drill home that FIFA the fans want to see a [...]
