That's how we all feel mate...If i walked into a club, thinking
and acting like i was better than everybody else, i'd most probably, within an hour and a half or
so, get battered. Which is exactly what happened to Liverpool on Saturday. They walked into
Bolton's club, acting like they were better than them, like the three points were theirs before
they'd kicked a ball and then, they were battered.
Porto's Alvaro Pereira has warned Manchester United defender Patrice Evra that he will be a marked
man when France play Uruguay in a friendly later in the year.Pereira, who plays alongside Luis
Suarez in the Uruguay national team, recently accused Evra of having an 'inferiority complex'; now,
he's made it clear that the left-back will have to watch his back in what is primed to be an

But seriously, my how times have changed for American soccer. If anybody back home still holds any
sort of inferiority complex about our domestic league, just go ahead and leave it out. The kid is
alright if a big English club in and aiming to return to the Champions League can feel like turning

TV: ESPN2
Radio: is not an option, apparently
The New York Red Bulls need to win on Thursday. They need it really bad.
Their best player is suspended, their season is on the brink, they traded away the presumptive
MLS MVP, their young stud striker can't break the starting lineup, their designated player keeps
stabbing Tim Ream in the back instead instead of playing in the back, their "goalies" keep showing
up for practice and asking what their hands are for again, Mehdi Ballouchy, Dax McCarty and Teemu
Taino won't take the Michael Farfan posters off their walls, people won't come watch them play, MLS
is going to make them irrelevant when the league's 20th franchise is announced, their trophy case
is empty, Dame Richards wants to be a striker when he's just a travel-sized Damarcus Beasley, Hans
Backe is going to continue making no adjustments of any sort under any circumstances for at least
one more year, they can't buy another Thierry Henry this winter, despite being the second highest
scoring team in MLS they have a league-high 16 ties, the Chicago Fire might finish above them in
the standings, they don't have the Yankees to blame for being ignored this year, Harrison is in New
Jersey, they are named after an energy drink that you drink while "doing sports," and now the team
they expected to push around for a few years is coming to town with their playoff ticket already
stamped and one win away from an Eastern Conference crown.
The impending season would be tough but the mere mention of Anthony Gardner was comic relief for
RedknappHere we sit, dear friends, on the verge on another Premier League season. The players have
had their break, we've had ours, pre-season has come and gone and now it's time to deliver. It may
seem like we say this before every campaign these days but this really is a big year for the
Hotspur.

Ecclestone: 'I won't be watching if my QPR team clinch promotion at Watford'
By Jonathan McEvoy 30th April 2011
Bernie Ecclestone will not be found celebrating with his Queens Park Rangers players if they win
promotion to the Barclays Premier League today.
Celtic 6-2 Rangers, August 2000 Your boys took one hell of a beating is a post from: Just
Football
by William Heaney
While Martin O'Neill's appointment as Celtic manager was warmly welcomed by the
club's fans in July 2000, the general consensus was that he would have a huge task on his hands to
build a successful side.
It wasn't pretty and the scoreline didn't do Wigan justice especially the way they played in the
first 45, but a win is a win. With 2 massive games coming up next week, we'll take the 3 points in
any shape or form.
Impressions:
Rooney – Should probably have been sent off for that flailing elbow in the first half.
I have enjoyed following George Ogier's tweets for a long time now. After this piece, I'm
sure you'll agree he should also write more. You can follow George on Twitter @George_Ogier ...

"Erm, Tottenham?
