11:00 Rubin Kazan v Zenith St Petersburg, Russian Premier Liga, ESPN
What better way to return to club football than by watching a potential domestic title decider? Yep, it's starting to get a bit parky in Russia and this is the penultimate round of the season. Click to continue reading...

Three points, two injuries, one hero: this was a mixed night for West Ham United that ended in pure joy. When injuries to Carlton Cole and Hérita Ilunga were followed by a freakish equaliser for Aston Villa, the scene seemed set for yet another promising performance to end in another disappointing result.

Group A
Bayern Munich 0-2 Bordeaux -- A frustrating home loss for the Germans will add some more heat to coach Louis Van Gaal's seat. Bayern will likely miss out of the round of 16 thanks to goals from Yoann Gourcuff and Marouane Chamakh. The French team advanced.
Maccabi Haifa 0-1 Juventus -- The Italian side was riddled with injuries, but only needed a 45th minute goal from Camoranesi for the road win. Click to continue reading...

Tonight with a win, Man United could qualify for the next stage of the Champions League. United could be without five first team regulars. Dimitar Berbatov, Nemanja Vidic, Rio Ferdinand and Ryan Giggs are all struggling with injuries. Wayne Rooney may also be absent due to his wife giving birth to their first child yesterday.

I haven't been paying much attention to the Premiership action these last couple weeks, but one glance at the table shows my pick Chelsea still leading the way.
Liverpool has a gastly 6-5-0 record, so I can only imagine that Reds fans and the English press are putting the pressure on Rafa Benitez (above). Click to continue reading...

19.45 Sheffield Utd v Newcastle Utd, Championship, Sky Sports 1/HD1
The Blades are in an awful slump that could see them in big trouble if they don't snap out of it quick. A last minute winner from Kevin Nolan ended Newcastle's own winless run last time out but they can go back top with a win here. Click to continue reading...

19:30 Dortmund v Hertha Berlin, Bundesliga, ESPN
Not a great offering from the Bundesliga this weekend. Hertha are awful and Dortmund got knocked out of the Cup in midweek. If you must get involved then have a butchers atBVB's Lucas Barrios who has scored four goals in four games. Click to continue reading...

After a slip last week against Wigan, it didn't take long for the Blues to regain the Premiership lead. Didier Drogba turned from goalscorer to playmaker and Chelsea handed Liverpool a 2-0 defeat, the Reds third loss of the season.
The reason Carlo Ancelotti's team isn't in a tie for first is because Manchester United laid a stinker at home against Sunderland, but managed a 2-2 draw thanks to Anton Ferdinand's (right) last-gasp own goal. Click to continue reading...

The Crowd=The Passion

Goats v Bulls ,

My name is Simon a 30 something Brit now living here in sunny California ,

I was born in Swindon England where I lived pretty much all my life ,

My team is my home town club Swindon Town F.C. , an unfashionable

Small team from Wiltshire , for 30 years I followed my Robins from the lows of

The old division 4 to the dizzy high of the premiership only to fall from

Grace to the foot of England's professional leagues ,

On arrival to the states I was keen to check out the local "soccer" for my personal

Views about football and my ultra mentality I could not follow nor shout for galaxy ,

For their golden boy becks and his one time links to Manchester Utd , but for now I shall

Save those views for another time ,

Chivas USA came to my attention and now for the last year the goats have substituted my Robins ,

For my footballing fix.

You have to go back almost exactly three years for the last time Cliftonville beat Linfield in a league fixture and on current form fourth-placed Linfield should beat their opponents three places below them again.

Another mammoth Midweek TV Preview begins with an England v Scotland clash - in managerial terms, at least. Paul Ince's MK Dons and Paul Lambert's Norwich are enjoying similar form at the moment, but Norwich need the points more after a poor start. Click to continue reading...

"owww!"

Wasn't expecting that. Not at all. Well. Ok, maybe from watching the game you could argue that after Defoe took his goal with a bicycle kick, (something that would cause the majority of Spurs fans to erupt in one way or another); the fact that Berbatov had obviously dived to gain the free kick that Giggs slotted home was a trifle unfair.

I know I´m trying to jump on the bandwagon just as it disappears round the corner, well actually two bandwagons, like a crazed charioteer out of Ben Hur, but first: what is the point of Emile ´the bulldozer´ Heskey? And second didn´t our boys do well? So that's me nicely caught up to date and its only Manchester Utd. Click to continue reading...

With four Fantasy Premier League gameweeks already down, managers are starting to get an idea of whose scoring points and whose not. With the forwards scoring points, the summer transfer window closing soon, and a two week international break upon us, there are a number of factors to take into consideration over the next fortnight.

Perhaps the biggest game of the short Premiership season took place last weekend as Arsenal traveled to Old Trafford, ending in a 2-1 win for the Red Devils.
Surprisingly, it wasn't the result that people were talking about afterward. No it was the craziness at the end, when Gunners coach Arsene Wenger was banished to the stands after pouting over a RVP disallowed goal. Click to continue reading...

Manchester Utd 2-1 Arsenal

Arsene Wenger puts on an entertaining show for the Old Trafford faithful

Whenever these two teams play each other it is always eventful. A game where luck seemed to be on United's side, with two penalty decisions going their way, an calamitous error from a player who was dubbed the 'next Vieira' just last week when he inspired his team to victory over Portsmouth, and who could forget the great entertainment shown by the opposition's manager at the end?

Manchester Utd 2-1 Arsenal

So, an early defeat, but I'm still scratching my head to work out how we came out of that game with nul points.

Last season, in our second game we capitulated meekly to Fulham at Craven Cottage, a defeat that set the tone for the next six months.

Wigan Athletic 0-5 Manchester Utd

After losing 1-0 to Burnley in midweek, many people doubted how Manchester United would push for a fourth consecutive title without Cristiano Ronaldo.

But the champions proved many wrong in typical style, scoring a flurry of late goals to beat Roberto Martinez's side.

As much as I've been enjoying myself since ten to five on Sunday, I've managed to find something to take the shine off ever so slightly. I saw a worrying quote in the press yesterday from Harry Redknapp regarding our little legend Luka Modric. I'm sure you all read it but it was the bit about Sir Alex that got me thinking.
