When you’re carrying around the burden of a €93 million price tag and not shooting fireworks out your own arse, you tend to take whatever’s on offer to make those spark fly… in Ronaldo’s case it was as simple as a penalty! So you can see how my enthusiasm was short lived as I awoke [...]
In a week when the heavies of European football struggled to make any significant impact around the globe*, comes another surprising result straight out of the bowels of Ireland. Shamrock Rovers, a team whose name sounds more like a wrestling move or a Robbie Williams album title than a football team, made a good account [...]
So my prediction here was correct… and in case you’re wondering what I’m on about, yes Cristiano Ronaldo was revealed wearing the Black / Voltage Yellow Nike Mercurial Vapor Superfly’s. Ha! In more good news, apparently, a Nike executive recently confirmed that the company’s wish is to have all of their sponsored professionals playing in [...]
The most anticipated transfer of the summer has finally been completed and Cristino Ronaldo has been revealed as Real Madrid’s number nine in front of a whopping 80,000 adorning fans. The 24-year old joins legends such as Hugo Sanchez, Ronaldo, and of course Alfredo di Stefano, and in doing so joins an elite legacy of [...]
Last week, donning the number 8 on his shirt, Kaka was revealed to the world as a Real Madrid player in front of 40,000 adoring ‘Los Blancos’ fans. They turned up to celebrate his arrival and see him in the clubs famous all white kit and for many loyal ‘Madridistas’ and keen neutrals it was [...]
Typical! Florentino Perez had to go and make the two biggest purchases of the year while I was away on a much needed break! Ok, so we all knew the Kaka transfer was going to happen, but can you imagine how I felt when I tuned into the wireless to hear that C-Ron had made [...]
Some real impressive rumours are being thrown around at the moment. Things like: Olive wreaths will be presented to the winners as opposed to medals, women playing harps will be seated in cages above areas of the grandstand and possibly my favourite of the bunch, tigers and Gladiators will be thrown onto the field if [...]
The forums, the blogs, the streets of Rome, Europe and the world are buzzing as though this is a World Cup final! At the helm of the buzz, two youngsters, two world beaters, two brilliant minds getting ready to push their teams through this spectacle that is the UEFA Champions League Final! Shit I can [...]
As expected the red half of Manchester walked away with all three points from this match and yet again, that man C.Ron did part of the damage. That’s now 4 goals in the last 3 games and he sure is firing up at the right time!… see, who said a little player slagging wouldn’t get [...]
Look out C.Ron and Wooney, there might just be another cool kid on the block… a cool kid who unbelievably announced his arrival to the world last night! And what’s more unbelievable is that this kid is just that, a 17 year old who is already rubbing shoulders with some of the big boys in [...]
If results go their way, the Socceroos could be one of the first teams to qualify for South Africa [TWG] …but does qualifying so early hold as much significance as having it all come down to a gripping two match playoff, with penalties to decide the winner? [Watch this]… it doesn’t even come close! Armani, [...]
I’ve hastily been scouring the internet over the last week or so, for images of all the players that were wearing Nike’s latest creations, the Mercurial Vapor Superfly’s and surprisingly like a police investigation at Tony Soprano’s house, the more I dug, the more I seem to find!
Here’s what I’ve got so far, feel free to add to the list if I’ve missed some players and I’ll source images to include in future posts.
Wow… I think I grossly underestimated Liverpool’s abilities this weekend and may have given even United a little too much credit as well! In all fairness though, not even the maddest of mad Kopites could have imagined a scoreline like this… especially at Old Trafford! But what exactly does this mean? Well I’ve said a [...]
With all do respect… Inter played like a bunch of chumps last night and for a team that’s meant to be the benchmark in Italian football at the moment, this was quite eye opening! They barely did anything to impress over the two legs of the knockout round and I’m convinced Mourinho’s ego got the [...]
Cristiano Ronaldo spotted at training on the 6th March wearing the Mercurial Superfly’s. There’s no doubt he’ll be wearing them this week in the UEFA Champions League second leg against Inter… and they’ll most likely be the Orange/Abyss/Silver ones [as pictured above].
My sources also tell me that C-Ron might not be only one who is wearing them and that the likes of Ibrahimovic, Drogba, Alves, Bentdner and Ribery could be showing them off around Europe via the UCL second leg.
This week promises to be massive!
