Oh Avram, We Hardly Knew Ye

I think this was a warranted sacking. He basically took over what Mourinho started and couldn’t win, and that upset some people who head the club. What’s even worse is that unless they had a 3 point lead in the final week of play they would’ve lost it to Bolton anyway. Just 8 months, he [...]

UEFA Champions League Final: Preview and Prediction

Cue music, cue fans, cue stadium, cue commentators, we’re hours away from the first ever all-English final in UEFA Champions League history. Manchester United are looking for a cup double, while Chelsea are looking for instant success in their first ever final. Oops, and Avram Grant is also hoping that he isn’t thrown out if [...]

KANU BELIEVE IT?!

He’s done it again! Not a pretty goal, not a pretty game (actually the game was not entertaining at all…), but Kanu has sent Pompey to FA Cup glory over Cardiff City. Harry Redknapp two years ago rescued the south coast side from relegation, and now they are FA Cup champions. They will be playing [...]

All Hail Russian Football!

Very good week for Russia eh? Win the UEFA Cup if you’re Zenit St. Petersberg, crash the chances of Rangers unprecedented cup quadruple, and Moscow hosts the UEFA Champions League final! Photo from UK Reuters Good times in Russia, they will be celebrating through the night!

It’s All-England in Moscow!

Manchester United hang on to beat Barcelona 1-0 on aggregate after a tremendous goal by Paul Scholes, while Chelsea win in extra time 3-2 and 4-3 on aggregate. It was an emotional moment as Frank Lampard scored the go-ahead goal on a penalty kick, just days after the death of his mother. After he scored [...]

Liverpool Flop at Kop End Again

Liverpool give Chelsea an away goal. They also gave them the equalizing own goal at the kop end of Anfield. John Arne Riise probably lifted the Blues into the Champions League Final, as no one has beaten Chelsea at Stamford Bridge in over 3 years. A 1-1 draw, and it looks like Avram Grant will [...]

What I’ve Missed

Certainly a very interesting week of football just now….and it’s not over, Manchester United vs. Arsenal may very well decide Arsenal’s fate and United’s title chances. Portsmouth vs. Cardiff City in the FA Cup Final Both Cardiff and Portsmouth won in er….very boring 1-0 games over Barnsley and West Brom respectively, and Portsmouth’s win confirms [...]

Well When You Win 8-0…….

Speechless.

Arsenal, Man U Good, Liverpool Okay , Tottenham BAD!

These 4 teams made the top 6 in the Barclays Premier League, with Liverpool, Man U, Arsenal making it at least to the round of 16 in the Champions League, while Tottenham went to the quarterfinals in the UEFA Cup. That was last year, things have changed for these guys in 2007. Arsenal: I don’t [...]

UEFA Champions League: Scotland Clubs off to Great Start

If I can remember, there was a certain someone named Mike White from DH talking about Scottish clubs Rangers and Celtic, and saying that “It is going to be a rough year for Scotland.”. The UEFA Champions League campaign for Rangers and Celtic couldn’t be any better. Rangers (Group E with FC Barcelona, Stuttgart, Lyon), [...]

Chelsea Can’t Beat Those Guys???!!

We’re witnessing a low point in Chelsea’s 07-08 footy season. With the UEFA Champions League Group Stage underway, Chelsea were supposed to run over Rosenborg, a Norwegian side. You’d figure they’d be dead because this is at Stamford Bridge right? They drew 1-1 with these guys, and they had trailed 1-0 at the half. In [...]
