Expecting to get a result when you visit Camp Nou is almost as dangerous as bragging to a mob boss about your conquests a week ago with his 18yr old daughter and if you can somehow stay alive or manage to flee the planet after pulling off such a feat, you’re almost deserving of the [...]
Going two-nil up against Barca is the layman’s equivalent of getting Sienna Miller and Kate Moss in the sack… at the same time! So you could imagine how excited the boys from Madrid must have been when Simao buried his free kick and Atleti’s second into the back of Victor Valdes’ net last night. They [...]
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 [...]
I can never get enough of watching Barcelona and in particular Lionel Messi taking a team to the cleaners and well this match wasn’t any different really. Seriously, this kid is brilliant and it’s exactly why he received the coveted ‘Ballon d’Or’ last night. Respect! Gameweek score: 6 out of 10 Results: Xerez 0 v [...]
You start the match on the bench, patiently watching, waiting for the coach to turn around and call your name so that you get your 15min of glory in the legend that is an ‘El Clasico’. When he finally does, you wait anxiously on the touch line, only to look away from the player you’re [...]
It’s always awesome returning to league action after a week of World Cup Qualifying shenanigans, so I’m amped and ready to go for the weekends matches… unlike Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who our amigos over at Heads or Tails warn may miss this weekend’s match, the crucial mid-week Champions League belter against Inter Milan and possibly the [...]
Ever wondered what it would be like to play against Barca? Here’s an idea, jump on a freeway and try catch and the next car as it speeds on by… well go on, I’ll wait. I’m still waiting! What, you couldn’t even get close? Don’t worry, neither could Eto’o or the rest of Inter’s attack [...]
Tonight sees the return of two great strikers at their old stomping grounds and I can’t wait to see Zlatan and Eto’o show their old coaches and fans, that life really is greener. I doubt we’ll see any Adebayor type tactics on their ex-players, however Zlatan has been know to be a bit of a [...]
Barca continued last years scintillating form by completely wiping the floor with Atletico Bilbao in the Spanish Supercup final last night. It was like a training drill in front of 80,000 fans as the players lined up to have a crack at the Bilbao goal. A week out from the start of the La Liga [...]
Look out Barca, Zlatan and his Zupersized ego have landed in your town and I really don’t think it’ll be long before his arrogant presence is felt. Speaking in footballing terms however, one must ask: Is he a great buy for the club? Definitely. Will he score a mound of goals this season? Well playing [...]
If late night media reports are to be believed, as I type this Samuel Eto’o is most likely being relieved of his post at the Camp Nou and being replaced by none other than that long haired half-bred douche… Zlatan ‘F**k Im Good’ Ibrahimovic! The only thing that remains is for the club to reach [...]
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.
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 [...]
Were there two teams playing in this match?… I’m pretty sure that till the second half Inter didn’t really touch the ball. In fact it actually looked more like a training run for United and especially Ronaldo who had half a dozen chances in the first 30min alone.As it stands, the score probably favours Inter, [...]
