I suppose we always knew it would happen someday, but I never could have thought that I would
ever see the day where it would actually happen, as such. It was in the wee hours of the 24th day
of January, in the year 2012, that Italian international (You will never know the limitless
pleasure I derive from calling Him that) Amauri put pen to paper on his transfer from Inte.
A few years ago there was a song by the famous British band Motorhead called "The King of
kings"; this song is so apt for the big four of English football in my opinion. Why so? Every club
has a king who is celebrated and revered by the fans and this is somewhat the song that units the
big four. In this post we bow down to the kings of the big four.
Manchester City Coach Roberto Mancini has issued a warning to striker Mario Balotelli to stop
his outrageous behaviour if he intends to become one of the game's greats.
Balotelli who's controversial antiques both on and off the pitch have in the past landed him in
serious problems with his club's and local authorities.
Most of the people remember the great goals of the Ronaldo Nazario in WC 2002, or in CL with Real
Madrid and some moves and goals with Inter Milan. These memories are mixed with the over-weight
Ronaldo, with the lazy Ronaldo, with the Corinthians Ronaldo, where he will score once in a while,
but he was not really that efficient.
Sorry Arsenal Humiliated Again! by Adam Kemp Much is to admire for Wenger and his fifteen years in
charge of Arsenal. Well, maybe only the first decade was where he was a true legend! Wenger has
allowed this team to weaken season after season by selling top players without replacing them. I
thought our defence [.
The transfer window is over and Cesc Fabregas has finally gone. As the dust settles and the pain
dulls and subsides, I feel it fitting to both celebrate and lament the end of his Arsenal career.
Hopefully now we can move on as we close the book on another chapter in Arsenal's history. This is
my final farewell to our former captain.

Being a Manchester United fan has obvious benefits. There's the trophies, the youth system, the
stadium, the nice kit, the fact that you'll never struggle to see a game on television, and the
lack of managerial turmoil. And the more of this you have, the easier it gets to take it all for
granted even those who lived through the barren years will say silly things after a defeat at
Anfield or a home draw against relegation fodder.

Martin Skrtel claims the changes he has witnessed at Anfield over recent months give him every
reason to believe 2011-12 can end in glory.
Few are in a better position to assess Liverpool's development over the last year than Skrtel, who
was involved in every minute of his club's league campaign this term.
This week's episode of Friday Flashback Videos honors a legend of the game, striker Bob
Latchford.
Latchford is best known for his wonderful career at Everton where the number nine excelled as
one of the best headers of the ball as well as being clinical with his feet. He was Everton's top
scorer for 1975 through 1978.
As I continue to catch up during my enforced break:
*Chivas USA announced Thursday afternoon that former defender and captain Claudio Suarez, one of
the most respected figures in Mexican soccer, has rejoined the club he retired from in 2009 in an
advisory capacity.
"Claudio is a true legend in the soccer world, and we're thrilled that he'll be working
with us again at Chivas USA," said Interim General Manager Jose Domene.
Liverpool recently sacked Roy Hodgson after an underwhelming campaign and brought in former boss
and club legend Kenny Dalglish to take the reins on a temporary basis. But the Scot is yet to taste
victory in his second stint at the helm.
His first game in charge was against Manchester United in the FA Cup, which ended in a 1-0 defeat
to his side.
Nat Lofthouse, one of the greatest footballers ever to represent England and a true legend, died
Saturday aged 85.
Lofthouse was one of the most lethal centre forwards ever to play for England, scoring 30 goals
in 33 appearances. Nicknamed The Lion Of Vienna, the honest and gutsy footballer played for his
hometown club Bolton Wanderers where he scored 255 goals in 452 league appearances.
