Last night wasn’t the best of nights for the Manchester teams, with the most surprising result coming from old Trafford in a thrilling 3-3 draw against FC Basel. Who’d have thought the Swiss would not only hold the mighty Man United, but also score 3 goals against them! Although the result was overshadowed by another Carlos Tevez outburst.
The other...
It’s obvious now that the world of football has become obsessed with money, where passion and loyalty cease to exist. Gone are the days when players loved to play for the shirt.
Cristiano Ronaldo (who is already amongst the highest earners in football) is just another one who looks to have joined the moneygrabbers brigade. Today he was quoted on the...

Every time I see Mario Balotelli in the news it always seems to be for the wrong reasons, and this time is no exception. This time the player was caught playing on his iPad, when he was on the bench for Italy’s Euro 2012 qualifying match against the Faroe Islands.

The situation in Series A is different to the problems in the Spanish league. The union have proposed 2 new clauses to the original agreement of player employment rights, where clubs...

I know I have been moaning about want-away players for ages now, but that is just something what happens in the transfer window. This time again I set my arrows on the legendary (well for the Spurs fans) Modric.
It just keeps on going and going, like there is no end to it. Yesterday evening was even a very important match for the Spurs. Their season...

I like my Twitter and social media. If you want to, you can even follow me by clicking here (and don’t forget to follow Kieran! (If I don’t say this, he will take the link down, hence the shameless plug for us both!)). Other than Kieran and me, also some players like to use Twitter…

I’ll keep this short and brief. Carlos Tevez, who is constantly in the papers as of late for his transfer saga has gone on for as long as anyone can remember. Its amazing for a player of his caliber , to complain so much , even when you have the might of a club such as Manchester City putting everything into him, to make the team play around...
