An incredible 5-goal performance from Jermain Defoe inspired a ruthless Spurs to demolish Wigan
Athletic 9-1 this afternoon. Peter Crouch opened the scoring in the first ten minutes with a
stooping header, but the home side failed to add to the scoreline before half-time. However,
amazingly they netted 8 goals in the second period, with Defoe's [.

Manchester United responded well to keep up with Chelsea as they saw off Everton 3-0 at Old
Trafford in last night's late kick off, and this win now bring them 5 points behind leaders
Chelsea, and back to the second place following Arsenal's defeat at Sunderland, but with still a
game in hand for the [.

England's preparations for next year's World Cup in South Africa got off to a slow start yesterday
as they were confidently beaten by the World No.1 side Brazil. Nilmar's 47th minute header was
enough to see off the challenge of Fabio Capello's men. Admittedly it was a second string England
side, but one that still consisted [.

The only goal of the game, scored by John Terry on the 76th minute denied United the almost
happening miracle of at least leaving Stamford Bridge with 1 point, but the goal was scored in a
somewhat controversial manner, which left the United players seeing red and fuming at the
officials, while the Blues celebrated.

Manchester United nearly suffered humiliation last night as they faced CSKA Moscow at Old Trafford
for the second leg of the group games in the Champions League. United were being led 1-3 after only
47 minutes, until some late drama from Scholes(84th) and a deflected goal from a Valencia shot
brought them levelled in added [.

Two fairly atrocious decisions from referee Lee Mason, and some bizarre substitutions from Rafael
Benitez made for another woeful afternoon at the office for the Liverpool gaffer. It was a game
that people were cautious about following the 2-0 win over Man Utd last weekend it's one of those
Liverpool should win but very often [.

I really have only one thing to say about yesterday's performance. My girlfriend and I were out
to dinner Friday night and the topic of the Liverpool match came up. She asked me if I was
nervous/if she should avoid being in the apartment Sunday morning and I (like an idiot) told her
the following.

I'm going to enjoy this; results like these don't come along that often. Oh no wait, yes they do
this is Liverpool's 3rd consecutive win over United forgive me. Coming into this afternoon's game
everybody was talking about how much longer Rafael Benitez would last at the helm. Now, just a
couple of hours [.

Liverpool's bid for a first Premier League title took what will probably be a fatal blow today at
the hands of an impressive Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. Second half goals from Nicolas Anelka and
Florent Malouda secured another 3 points for Carlo Ancelotti's side, which moves them to the top of
the table, 2 points [.

Anton Ferdinand, Rio's younger brother, will be cursing himself as his own goal on the 92nd minute
gifted Manchester United an undeserving equalizer and a share of the points in the process, as the
Black Cats of Sunderland played more superior football than their counterparts in red, and in truth
deserved to take all 3 [.

The most spectacular thing of the whole night was the rain. Sheets of it. On a wet night in South
Manchester, United managed to find a bit of old skool fight to battle their way past a resilient,
yet unconvincing Wolfburg side. A deflected goal by Ryan Giggs and a sweet Michael Carrick finish
made sure [.

Ryan Giggs was an important figure in today's match against resilient Stoke City as he came on
after 55 minutes of play to guide the Red Devils to yet another victory in the league. The match
from the start was more an 'attack-defence' one, with United having most of the possession, but the
team lacked the [.

It's the first podcast for the new season, and I think I lived up to the WDKF name by, well not
knowing about football, and hosting a football show. On review, I was too giggly like a little
girl, but was thankfully saved by not having to say much as my guests Tareq and Andy [...]

Danny Welbeck proved to be invaluable as he scored the only winner for the Carling Cup match which
opposed United to Wolves yesterday night at Old Trafford. United played most of the match with 10
men, as Fabio was sent off on the half hour mark after he slipped and caught Kightly while trying
to [..

In the 90th minute of the game, i had a little strop. I threw a wobbly as we say over here. Id just
witnessed Rio Ferdinand, do the worst thing he had ever done in a United shirt and watched the
greyhound-like Bellamy race away to put the ball past the floundering Foster. I picked my [...]

Incredible match! Although both teams did not play brilliantly from start to finish, the derby
match between United and City produced 7 goals in total, and saw both Fletcher and Bellamy score 2
goals a-piece for their respective teams, but in the end it was Michael Owen's shot which saved the
day for United in [.

The final kickoff for today saw a ten-men Manchester United rather easily beat Tottenham Hotspur at
the latter's home ground, White Hart Lane, 1-3 the final score. The game started badly for the Sir
Alex's men as in the opening seconds Defoe scored with a brilliant acrobatic kick leaving United
stunned.

A penalty from Frank Lampard and a Jermain Defoe strike has helped England overcome a sticky test
at Wembley against Slovenia. With an important World Cup qualifier coming up on Wednesday against
Croatia, Fabio Capello would use this game as preparation for his players ahead of the match that
could see England qualify for next year's [.

Bayern Munich grabbed their first three points after they thrashed last year's champions Wolfsburg
3-0. Sebastian Schweintiger's corner kick was cleared to Hamit Altintop just outside of the penalty
area who unleashed a powerful shot that keeper Diego Benaglio only managed to parry in front of
Mario Gomez who scored on the rebound.

This article was going to be very very different at half time..... I wrote small sections of it in

Chelsea put three passed Burnley to gain maximum points from their first four Premier League games.
Nicolas Anelka scored the first goal for the home team just before half-time when Didier Drogba
received a pass from Michael Essien and broke down the right flank, and crossed for the French
striker to score in front of goal.

I'll keep this short and simple. Liverpool only lost twice in the entirety of last season, but with
only 3 games gone in the 09/10 season, Rafa's boys already find themselves with 2 defeats against
their name. Villa turned up at Anfield today having lost their first and only PL game of the
season, a home tie [.

Question; Who is the most relieved man on the planet right now? Answer; Mr. Philip Brown. The
little-known name of Kamel Ghilas ensured Hull bagged their first points of the PL season, and

PL since December.

Burnley gave United a footballing lesson last night as the two teams met for the second match of
the 2009/2010 season. The Clarets were far better than United in the opening minutes as they put
pressure on United's back four, and the only goal of the match came on 18 minutes, when Blake
