Tony Pulis’s draw...

against Carlo Ancelotti’s team in the English football league game against Chelsea FC had put paid to Stamford Bridge’s ambition of retaining the coveted English Football title.

It is not likely that Carlo Ancelotti’s men may show the kind of performance that they used to beat Manchester united Fc and Manchester City Fc at Stamford Bridge for the remainder of the season.

Chelsea’s new darling David Luiz may not have the experience to continue the way he has done so far.

2011-04-12T02:08:00.001-07:00

The on-going dressing room...

saga at the Eastlands has suggested that Manchester City 1^st team players are not happy the way that Coach Roberto Mancini is interacting with them. Thus, the future of Carlos Tevez who missed the Chelsea Manchester City match at Stamford Bridge could be on his way out of the Manchester City stadium after falling out with the Italian.

Other City Manchester FC players are complaining that they have no joy playing for a boss that has turned the club’s training ground to a “serious and sombre” environment.

It can be recalled that Welshman Craig Bellamy had been loaned out to Cardiff City after a series of well documented fall-outs with the Italian.

Shiehk Mansour’s Manchester City FC must beat Liverpool FC today if they want to qualify for the group stages of the 2011/2012 UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE

Mancheater United FC beat...

Chelsea FC 1-0 at Stamford Bridge to get an advantage towards the return-leg of the UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE Manchester United FC Chelsea FC live match on 12^th April,2011.

Wayne Rooney had given Manchester United FC the inspiring win at Stamford Bridge, the first for Sir Alex Ferguson at the Blues’ Fortress after a long time.

If Manchester United FC qualifiers for the semi-final of Europe’s elite football competition, they would meet another German opposition in the form of Red hot Schalke 04 who surprised CF Inter-Milano 5-2 at the San Siro stadium last week.

The Red-Devils have not been too lucky against German teams in recent times. They had to wait till the 90^th and 91^st minute of the 1998/1999 CHAMPIONS LEAGUE final before goals from Ole Gunnar Solksjaer sank an almost victorious Bayern Munich. However, the Bavarian team beat Sir Alex Ferguson’s men enroute to winning the competition 2 years later.

The Scotsman couldn’t checkmate a rampaging midifield duo of Ze Roberto and Micheal Ballack as Bayern Leverkusen pipped Manchester United 1^st team players to book a place in the final of the 2001/2002 edition.

Louis Van Gaal’s 1^st team players got the better of Fergie again in the 2009/2010 edition as former Chelsea FC winger Arjen Robben and Frank Ribery helped Bayern Munich get another revenge of the Old-Trafford team.

Manchester United Fc coach...

is set to splash the cash to get the services of former Ajax Fc , Hamburg and Real Madrid Fc influential mid-fielder Robin Van der Vart if certain Manchester United Fc transfer rumours were to be true.

Sir Alex Ferguson had always insisted that he was not going to buy any player as the transfer market was inflated and as such it wasn’t easy to get a quality player.

2011-04-11T00:30:00.000-07:00

Olympique Marseille’s Nigerian left-back...

Taye Taiwo has stated that he does not want to extend his contract with the French Champions. His revelation has made a lot of English clubs to indicate interest for the left footed player.

Taye Taiwo had earlier sought for a transfer to Tottenham Hotspurs FC last season but could not push his request through the Club’s top hierarchy. Thus, several top flight clubs such as Manchester City FC, Chelsea FC, Liverpool FC, AC Milan FC , CF Benfica , etc have shown interest in the top Ligue 1 player.

The Nigerian is reportedly trying to convince Super Eagles Coach Samson Siaisia to exclude him from the return leg 2012 African Qualifier against Ethiopia in Addis Ababa later in June in order to sort out his football career future at club level.

Taye Taiwo would be a very good addition to English live soccer as he is one of the few available left-footed players in world football

2011-03-30T11:24:00.000-07:00

Manchester City Fc, Chelsea FC...
and other 1st team english soccer teams are fully alert to the availability of Brazilian young superstar Neymar who shined as Brazil beat Scotland 2-0 at the Emirates stadium.

the Santos striker scored the two goals for his country as Scotland struggled to find a solution. However, Neymar has stated that he will prefer a move to Italian giants Juventus CF as english football scouts were seen at the Arsenal FC 1st team stadium during the match.

Neymar would make a good buy if any of the english soocer teams succesfully gets his signature.

his earlier decision not to buy players by going for a surprise move for former CF Ajax and CF Real Madrid mid-fielder, Robin Van Der Vart.

It is most likely that Harry Redknapp will sell the Dutchman as the Man United FC 1st team coach will use Micheal Carrick as part of the deal.

Shiehk Mansour SET TO APPIONT JOSE MOURINHO AS COACH AT MANCHESTER CITY FC

2011-03-28T14:53:00.000-07:00

Jose Mourinho travelled to London on a personal...
visit to the English capital. However, it is believed that it is more or less connected with his desire to return to live English soccer with Manchester City FC and Chelsea Fc apparently interested in securing the services of the "Special One".

The Portuguese has stated that he is not happy with the way things are done at the Santiago Bernabeu stadium despite leading the Galactico into thre next stage of the CHAMPIONS LEAGUE against Olympic Lyonnais FC. he is also not in terms with top Real Madrid officer Jorge Valdano.

Manchester City FC owner Shiehk Mansour will certainly be very happy to pay off the remaining contract of Mourinho in order to bring the CHAMPIONS LEAGUE winning soccer coach back to England

CARLO ANCELOTTI GIVES UP ON EPL TITLE

2011-02-18T01:46:00.000-08:00

Carlo Ancelotti had predicted...
that a difficult time will come for Chelsea but he didn’t probably think it should last this long. The former CF AC Milan coach made this comments after Chelsea FC vs. Everton scores ended 1-1 in an action packed English soccer game at Stamford Bridge.

Didier Drogba had scored just before half –time from the penalty spot for the Blues when Nicolas Anelka appeared to be brought down in the 18-yard box by Tim Howard but could not hold out for their first win in 4 games when in-form Everton Striker Beckford headed in an equalizer in the 85th minute in order to earn the Toffees a valuable point at Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea FC’s poor run had seen them drop down to 5th position but Carlo Ancelotti’s men moved to 4th position after beating Bolton Wanderers FC, Sunderland FC,etc.
However, it appears that the worst is yet to come as Liverpool FC Merielles’s goal separated the two teams on Sunday.

Petr Cech seemed to be in trouble in the first half when there was no communication between him and Ivanovich. This was the same thing that happened in the 2nd half when Cech and his defenders could not stop a cross but Merielles’s low shot got behind Cech and into the net

INJURY-PRONE FERNANDO TORESS IS SURE TO DO A SHEVCHENKO AT STAMFORD BRIDGE

2011-02-17T19:42:00.000-08:00

If past history was...
to be a reference point in determining the success of players in the English Premier League, then Fernando Toress may as well turn out to be a hugh flop at new club, Chelsea FC just as much-hyped /expensive Andriy Shevchenko failed to replicate the kind of form he had at AC Milan.

Toress arrived at Stamford Bridge on football transfer dateline night after much horse-trading was made between Chelsea FC and Liverpool FC and the 2 clubs were able to agree a fee at #50m.

However, many English soccer pundits condemned Ancelotti’s decision to start Toress in his favoured 4-3-3, insisting that the Italian should have started Malouda or Kalou which would have allowed Toress to understand the game for himself before coming on.

It is also hoped that Chelsea FC mid-fielders Frank Lampard, Mikel Obi, Micheal Essien should always be fit as Toress is a striker that plays at his best when the supporting midfielders are playing well and giving him the kind of passes that he needs.
It will be very bad for Roman Abramovich if the Spanish- 2010 World Cup winner becomes a flop like ex-Chelsea FC player Joe Cole who ironically ended up warming the hospital bed of Liverpool FC.

MANCHESTER UNITED SET TO GRASP EPL TITLE FROM CHELSEA FC

2011-02-17T17:28:00.000-08:00

Manchester United FC is certainly...

running away with the league as the Red Devils remained unbeaten in the league in the 2010/2011 English football season until Mick McCarthy’s Wolves came knocking and Dimitar Berbatov is the new goal poacher for Alex Ferguson as he got a hat-trick against Birmingham FC and got a brace for the Red Devils against a confident Blackpool FC with Hernandez aka “CHICHARITO” scoring one to give the Old Trafford club the necessary 3 points.

John O’Shea has echoed the opinion at Old-Trafford by saying that all you have to do get a goal is to pass the ball to Berbatov who is always certain to score 9 out of 10 times.

However, Sir Alex Ferguson should caution his wards against allowing this success to get into their heads as the memories of a certain season in the 90’s are still fresh when Manchester United FC were almost certain of winning the Title, only for Blackburn FC to spring up from no way and win the Title.

It must also be noted that the same Blackburn FC had leapt from 12^th position to 7^th position after winning a recent game in the current English football season.

ANDREY ARSHAVIN THREATENS TO QUIT GUNNERS

2011-02-17T01:45:00.000-08:00

Andrey Arshavin has threatened...

to leave Arsenal FC to his former club Zenit St. Petersburg on the excuse that he has not fully adapted to life in the English Capital, London. He has become a subject of the Gunners’ boo-boys.

However, it has been reported that fellow country man , Roman Abramovich is getting ready to lure him to Stamford Bridge in order to boost his side ‘s hopes of finishing among the top four in English football log this season.

ROMAN ABRAMOVICH ABOUT TO REPLACE ANCELOTTI OVER WORST SEASON EVER

2011-02-16T23:52:00.000-08:00

As the 2010/2011 English football...
season gradually exits the month of February, Chelsea FC looks certain to drop more points as the Chelsea fixtures do not look very encouraging for Carlo Ancelotti’s men. Chelsea will be playing resurging and confident looking teams and has lost to Liverpool FC on the 5^th, had drawn with Fulham on the 12^th and will be Birmingham FC on the 26^th.

It should be noted that at 2 of these 3 teams apart from Mark Hughes’s Fulham FC have beaten the Blues this season and even out of form Fernando Torres scored against them this season with Liverpool FC climbing to 7^th position in the log.

Carlo Ancelotti’s men are suffering from their worst ever dip in form for over a decade and even though they beat Bolton FC 4-0 in their last Chelsea FC live Premiership game, most English soccer pundits claim that Chelsea FC’s victory was up to “how bad Bolton FC players performed” as Owen Coyle’s men are generally referred to as a defensive minded team to beat at home.

Thus, it is up to the former Roma FC and AC-Milan FC coach to motivate his players to step up their game as the Stamford Bridge outfit has never been in 5th position in this time of the season in the past 6 years.

WAYNE MARK ROONEY SET TO LEAVE MANCHESTER UNITED FC IN THE SUMMER

2011-02-16T17:36:00.000-08:00

Manchester United FC forward Wayne Rooney...

may as well be on his way out of Old-Trafford if “The LITTLE PEA” Hernandez keeps improving on his game. Sir Alex Ferguson had been in dire need of a goal against Blackpool FC but Rooney seemed to be “jogging about the field” during the Manchester United fixture at Blooomfield Road.

Ryan Giggs appeared to be screaming at Rooney for not being able to receive his passes during the match. However, Javier Hernandez scored the winning goal after he was substituted for Rooney and Dmitar Berbatov had earlier scored equaized the 2 Blackpool goals. Wayne Mark Rooney vindicated him by scoring 2 goals against Aston Villa FC.

Javier Hernandez has really impressed most Manchester United fans with his scintillating skills and goals especially the back-flip goal he scored against Stoke City. He will surely play for a long time at Old-Trafford. Thus, Manchester United FC’s Rooney has to step up his game for his own good

HOW BEST SHOULD HAVE DAVID GOLD AND DAVID SULLIVAN TREATED AVRAM GRANT?

2011-02-09T21:44:00.001-08:00

The recent behavior of ...
David Gold and David Sullivan towards Avram Grant has made many soccer followers and pundits furious with the West Ham FC owners. Avram Grant was virtually sacked by the club hierarchy, only to be told that the he should continue at the helms of affairs at the club after attempts to get Martin O'Neil to take over from Grant failed.

This ugly trend led Everton FC boss David Moyes to state his uttermost displeasure at the way the Israeli and former Chelsea coach, a position that is believed is shared by most by English football soccer coaches.

However, Avram Grant had really posted some bad results this season for the London-based football club as West Ham FC has remained at the bottom of the log for a long time this season despite the superb performance of new signing Victor Nsofor. It is hoped that the Israeli tactician can perform some miracle so as to steer West Ham FC out of the relegation waters.

ADEBAYOR VOWS TO SILENCE CRITICS AT CF REAL MADRID

2011-02-09T21:42:00.001-08:00

Manchester City Fc's out-of favour...
striker Emmanuel Adebayor had moved to the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium as Jose Mourinho had made enquiries about his availability from the Eastlands Club.

The former Monaco FC and Arsenal FC had fallen down the pecking order at the City Stadium following the arrival of 27m pounds rated Edin Dzeko from Wolfsburg FC. It appears that Roberto Mancini had finally excluded the tall Togolese player from his plans.

CF Real Madrid signed Adebayor on loan with the hopes of getting him permanently in the summer for about 10m provided that he agreed to take a huge pay-cut to his massive 140,000/week wages.

CF Real Madrid coach Mourinho had earlier hinted the club hierarchy that he needs a new striker following the sustained injury of Higuain, an issue that has seriously strained the relationship between himself and the Club's Sporting Director, Jorge Valdano and has fuelled speculations about his eminent exit from the Florentino Perez- led football club.

HARRY REDKNAPP HAPPY TO STAY AT WHITE HART LANE

2011-01-24T01:03:00.000-08:00

Tottenham Hotspurs coach Harry Redknapp...
had been short-listed as one of the coaches that could take over from present THREE LIONS coach Fabio Capello in 2012.

He should not vacate his current job as he has done a spectacular job in qualifying the club for the Round 16 of the UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE and for standing-up to Manchester City FC after the North London club finished 4^th ahead of Manchester City FC last season.

England coach Fabio Capello had a very sad WORLD CUP in South Africa despite his strict foolball training methods. Although he is a good coach, he should be given the chance to prove himself as England coach so that Harry would have the time to continue doing what he knows best to do with Spurs.

Asamoah Gyan Performance at Sunderland FC

2011-01-23T03:21:00.000-08:00

Asamoah Gyan is having the game of his life...
at Sunderland Fc as he was inspirational in his club’s 1-0 win against West-Ham United FC in an English soccer match at the Stadium of Light and scored the late equalizer against Newcastle United FC.

The Ghanaian star who almost led his country to the semi-finals of the South-Africa 2010 World Cup has been shortlisted for the 2010 CAF African footballer of the year award. His game has clearly improved at Sunderland FC such that the team has remained unbeaten at home this season, has played draws against Liverpool, Arsenal FC, Manchester United,etc. and has even beaten strong teams like Chelsea FC, Manchester City FC, etc. this season.

Sunderland FC beat Blackpool FC away this weekend

FORMER LIVERPOOL FC COACH RAFA BENITEZ GETS THE BOOT AT CF INTER-MILANO

2010-12-23T07:31:00.000-08:00

Former Liverpool coach Rafa Benitez..

who was sacked by FC Inter-Milan President Massimo Moratti after making some scathing statements about his employer should have been relieved of his posts a long time ago.

Benitez is widely acknowledged as the gaffa that sank the Liverpool FC outfit owing to his financial mismanagement of funds given to him by the over-ambitious pair of George Gillet and Tom Hicks. The Spaniard virtually spent much funds bringing fellow countrymen into the Anfield outfit and regrettably sold out most of the players that he met at the club.

Rafa Benitez should have known that it was wrong to criticize the club President the way he did, a man that put in all he had to ensure that CF Inter-Milan ended its status as Europe’s most outstanding underachieving football club. He only managed to lead the club to 7^th –position after about 6 months in charge.

He also failed to win UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE Group A, falling behind Tottenham Hotspurs FC which is appearing in Europe’s elite competition for the 1^st time in many years with the same team that won an incredible treble last season under Jose Mourinho.

It is hoped that Moratti will make the best decision in employing the next person that will replace Benitez.

CHELSEA Vs. EVERTON FC SCORES PUTS ANCELOTTI IN A TIGHT CORNER

2010-12-05T14:34:00.000-08:00

Carlo Ancelotti claims that he was..

sure that a difficult time will come for Chelsea but that he didn’t think it should last this long. The former CF AC Milan coach made this comments after Chelsea FC vs. Everton scores ended 1-1 in an action packed English soccer game at Stamford Bridge.

Didier Drogba had scored just before half –time from the penalty spot for the Blues when Nicolas Anelka appeared to be brought down in the 18-yard box by Tim Howard but could not hold out for their first win in 4 games when in-form Everton Striker Beckford headed in an equalizer in the 85^th minute in order to earn the Toffees a valuable point at Stamford Bridge.

The draw means that Chelsea FC dropped down to 3^rd place behind Manchester United FC by 1 point with Sir Alex Ferguson’s men having an extra game to play as their English Premiership match against Blackpool was postponed.

Arsenal FC top the English Premiership table with 32 points after Samir Nasri’s two goals gave the Gunners the maximum 3-points against Mark Hughes’s Fulham FC. Arsene Wenger’s men play Manchester United FC next in English football league while Chelsea FC takes a short trip across London to face Tottenham at White-Hart Lane.

MANCHESTER CITY FC SHIEKH MANSOUR IS SET FOR JANUARY CLEARANCE SALES

2010-12-03T21:14:00.000-08:00

Much is really left for many soccer pundits to..
wonder about the direction and goals of Sheikh Mansour has he is getting ready to sell off Manchester City FC misfits, Emmanuel Adebayor, Roque Santa Cruz, Wayne Bridge, Shawn Wright Phillips, etc.

It is very funny to know that these players costs the club about 90 million to acquire with the wages of Emmanuel Adebayor amounting to over160, 000/week. It is also very sad to remember the media frenzy that was started by the club last season in the process of signing these “big names” especially in the case of Emmanuel Adebayor who went into a war of words with his words with his former coach Arsene Wenger.

It has also been reported that Carlos Tevez is concluding arrangements to go back to his native Argentina after stating that he was not no longer adapting to life in England.

Roberto Mancini has to ensure that he gets the right replacements in order to keep his hopes of w winning the English Premiership Title.
