Predictions – 21st / 25th November

Part-time Pundit 20 November @ 05:20 AM EST


This weekend kicks off with a mid-table cracker that has media ass-whooping stamped all over it... cause you just know that, regardless of the outcome, both managers and every player on the pitch will come under intense scruitiny. Over recent weeks, City have fine tuned their skills of drawing matches . Click to continue reading...

The unlucky Irish

The Beautiful Game (2) 19 November @ 08:00 AM EST
Thierry Henry is the villain of the soccer world today. He will be for a while.
In one of the shadiest moves on the big stage in recent memory, the French legend (after being offside) intentionally handled the ball in setting up the game-winning goal to send his country to the World Cup, and unfairly end Ireland's dreams. Click to continue reading...

World Cup Finalists Are Known

Soccer Tickets Online 19 November @ 04:51 AM EST

Now that we know the teams that will be making it to South Africa for the World Cup finals, i think its time we all took the bold step of picking our favorites to win the tournament. I know many of you might say that the right time to do this will be after the group stage draw that will happen in about two weeks time on the 4th of December.

Adelaide 0 v Brisbane 2 (3) - at last

A seat at the A-League 06 November @ 07:24 AM EST
At last the 'maybe' penalty goes our way and Van Dijk steals the first half from Adelaide.
Reinaldo, Van Dijk and Nichols where way too strong for Adelaide's defence. Reinaldo and Van Dijk's one touch passing was fantastic to watch. We need to see more of this at home. Mitch scored a cracker that hit the bar, bounced in - behind the line, then out. Click to continue reading...

Results – Matchday 4

Part-time Pundit 04 November @ 05:18 AM EST


The thing I love most about the Champions League is the weird and unpredictable score lines you get right across the continent. I also love it when a manager makes a substitution and within minutes of that player stepping onto the field, he scores a cracker to put his team ... Click to continue reading...

Aaron Hunt for England? He Says Nein, Danke.

England World Cup Blog 02 November @ 04:48 PM EST

Interesting story in Bild recently, suggesting that Fabio Capello has been asking Stuart Pearce to keep an eye on Werder Bremen's 23 year old attacking mid/forward Aaron Hunt, who you can see above scoring twice for Werder Bremen (in white) this weekend. The second goal (which tied the game at 2-2) is an absolute cracker of a chest-volley combo.

The Wednesday Wonder: Hugo Rodallega

Premiership Talk Blog 28 October @ 11:23 AM EST

Manchester United, Everton, Sunderland, and Birmingham. All of them have entered, but not one of them has exited for the better.

As I've mentioned on many occasions, Turf Moor is one of the worst places for a visiting team to travel to. The crowd is insane, and Burnley always are ready to impress their fans.

Liverpool Might Benefit If Rafa Benitez Learned To Accentuate The Positive

Anfield Talk 17 October @ 12:08 PM EST
Rafael Benitez, the man who finds fault in the best of displays, is reportedly having trouble lifting the sombre mood at Liverpool.
As a manager, it is all very well concentrating on the negatives, on the one bad thing a player does in a game, say, rather than offering congratulations on a spectacular hat-trick. Click to continue reading...

Phil Ball in Spain

Sanford's Soccer Net 06 October @ 06:29 AM EST
I've just watched the Sevilla v Real Madrid game, and it was a bit of a cracker, as was expected. The game may prove to be significant in various ways this season, but anyone watching can have little doubt as to the wonders that La Liga will have to offer this season. A two-horse race? Forget it. More like fools and horses - the fools being those that write off Sevilla, the horses being the chaps who occupy the left side of Real Madrid. Click to continue reading...

Arsenal 6-2 Blackburn: A microcosm of Wenger’s tenure

The Beautiful Groan 06 October @ 04:08 AM EST

Arsenal 6 (Vermaelen 17, Van Persie 33, Arshavin 37, Fabregas 57, Walcott 75, Bendtner 89) Blackburn 2 (Nzonzi 4, Dunn 30)
(Premiership)

Arsene Wenger's time in charge has been characterised by some fantastic flowing football, spectacular goals, crisp passing, the coming of age of outrageously talented youngsters, and the odd bit of defensive frailty.

Cescy Arsenal smash six as Fat Sam loses his marbles

The Goon Blog - an Arsenal blog. 05 October @ 09:41 AM EST

Well that was bloody fantastic.

It was probably one of the best attacking displays I have seen and the scary thought is that at the start of both half's it took quite a while for us to get going, if we had been at that intensity for 90 minutes Blackburn and their fat manager would have still been totting up all the goals 24 hours on.

AEK 1-2 Olympiacos

AEK Archives 23 September @ 08:03 PM EST

Obviously not the result we were hoping for. The lads did indeed show up to play tonight but the final touch wasn't there. Creating and finishing chances is a huge part of football though, so we've only ourselves to blame (well, maybe the refs can share the blame!). I was stuck in the office for this match, but I was able to watch a low-quality stream for about twenty minutes in the second half.

So Far So Good Compared To Our Rivals?

Republik Of Mancunia 15 September @ 01:14 PM EST

Last season, United had played all of the season before's top ten away from home before Christmas, which was reflected in our position in the league. This season we've had another pretty tough start, playing Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur when they were on fire, and the other form team, City, are to come.

Tottenham 1-3 Manchester United - Goal Videos

SoccerLens 12 September @ 01:45 PM EST

Despite conceding a goal in the first minute Manchester United rallied back through Giggs and Anderson (yes, Anderson!) to make it 2-1 at half-time. A second yellow to Paul Scholes put their position under pressure but some smart defensive work and a superb goal (all the goals in this game were quite good) by Wayne Rooney meant that United took the three points - and set up next week's Manchester derby quite nicely.

Nicklas Bendtner netted a cracker against Portugal as Denmark went 1-0 up with just moments to go before half-time.

Arsene Wenger, “I feel in these situations that we might be lacking a little bit of experience”

The Gunning Hawk 30 August @ 10:00 PM EST

Arsene Wenger was left frustrated after his side's 2-1 away defeat at the hands of Manchester United. Having taken the lead from an Arshavin cracker, the Gunners were reached and then passed by Alex Ferguson's side.

Speaking of the game yesterday, the Frenchman highlighted how his squad may be lacking a little bit in experience, adding how his players may have wrongly assessed the two situations leading to the goals.

Th Free To Air Question

Against The Crossbar 27 August @ 06:08 AM EST
Interesting article on The Roar today regarding the viability of having the A-League on Free To Air (FTA) TV. It has generated a substantial amount of discussion amongst the readers and got me thinking about where I stand on the topic.
Although author Adrian Musolino makes some good points I cannot help but think he has missed a critical one. Click to continue reading...
