Rose's screamer ends Gunner's title dream!

             Rose the next teenage wonder kid?    Source: ESPN soccernet

The 2010 London derby is one of the few important derbies as both teams need a win to push towards a goal they been fighting for since the start of the season. Arsenal needed a win to give them a slight chance to be back in the title race, whilst spurs need a win to propel themselves back into the contention for the last Champions League spot. Both teams needed to win, so there was plenty of attacking football from both sides. This match marks the return for two important players in their respective team, Ledley King (Tottenham) and Robin Van Persie (Arsenal).

Liverpool in deep trouble!

Settling for Europa League??  Source: Liverpoollfc.tv

Liverpool's season spirals downward as they have now drew 2 out of the 6 games. According to Benitez, they needed to win 5 games and draw 1 to have any chance of claiming the 4th spot. So what now Mr. Benitez? Do you have any bright ideas? Liverpool are now looking at the high probability that they will most likely be playing Europa league or worst....... 

United's title dream over?

Berbatov's United career over?  Source : ESPN Soccenet

We are at the point of a season that if you want to win the EPL, you must, and i emphasis MUST not drop points against opponents like Blackburn. It's just too much of a risk to drop points against teams who can't match you in terms of quality or financially. Manchester started this match without their star, Wayne Rooney. I knew that it was too early for him to play against Bayern, and i seriously suspect that they injected him with painkillers to allow him to play for an hour before being taken off. Sir Alex, i said if Rooney's ankle is injured further, that you would be facing a hard time battling for the title without your star striker and i am still sticking with my statement, and as for England's World Cup dreams, if he sits out like he did for most of the competition during the 2006 World Cup, there will be fingers pointing at you for pushing him when you shouldn't have only time will tell.

Manchester Knocked out by Robben screamer!

Manchester United's European campaign has ended after Robben send the devils packing with a volley from the outside of the box. There was so much pre-match buzz about Rooney returning from injury to play this match. Because Manchester United knows that they needed him to help overcome a deficit of 2-1 at Munich. I personally felt if Rooney did appear, it would be too rushed and if he ends up injuring his ankle again, their title push might suffer a huge blow........and so will England's World Cup hopes and England fans will want Ferguson's head on a platter for this!

Magical Messi

I knew when i saw the draw up for the Champions League quarter-finals that this game would be special. Both very technical side that plays very fluid and beautiful football. The first leg was very entertaining as Barcelona completely dominated Arsenal from start to finish. Arsenal were definitely lucky to end the game with a 2-2 draw. And the second leg didn't fail to produce the same type of magic that the first leg had.....

Malaysian Wonder Kid!!!!!

The potential of this wonder kid is very very exciting indeed, an American born Malaysian, Wan Kuzain Wan Kamal that is only twelve years old is tearing apart defenses in his own junior league. Personally i haven't seen any Malaysian youngster that is so full of flair and potential, it excites me that this kid could one day lead Malaysia to finally achieving something. I do hope the FAM (Football Association of Malaysia) is keeping tabs on this boy and be prepared to offer him an incentive to play for Malaysia instead of getting a US citizenship to play for the US. There is definitely enough potential for him to reach the level of the English Premier League, if only his skills are developed well as he matures. At only an age of twelve years old, it is exciting to see how much he will be able to improve as the years to come. 

DO enjoy the brilliance of this kid.

Gerrard Frustrated....

If any of you watched the Liverpool game during the weekend, you would understand how frustrating it is. The weekend game against Birmingham at St. Andrews should have been won easily no doubt. But the lack of quality in front of goal and defensive blunders has again failed them this season as they try to salvage the 4th Champions League spot from their disappointing campaign.....

Lucky Arsenal escapes with a draw!

Arsenal has always been known for their beautiful short passing, fluid football. It was going to be an exciting encounter when Barcelona visited Arsenal at the Emirates. But i have never in my lifetime seen Arsenal cornered like this at their own home turf. Barcelona played magnificent football, it wasn't Messi that was destroying Arsenal,  it was the whole Barcelona team and how they outplayed Arsenal during the first half, with the amount of chances, they could have put the tie to bed even before the half hour mark. If people wanted to see how beautiful football should be played, watch this highlight.

Manchester United, a one man team?

Wayne Rooney is on the best form of his footballing career, scoring his 34th goal of the season, in the 2-1 loss to Bayern at last night's Champions league encounter. However, on the 92 minute of the match, only a few seconds before Olic scored that crucial goal that gave the home side a win, Rooney rolled on his right ankle and had to walk out of the stadium with crutches with protective boots in place. Manchester United fans should start worrying and praying as they have a crucial game in the weekend against Chelsea and then a second leg match against Bayern in Old Trafford.....

Who will win the English Premier League 09/10?

 The end of the season is near but the title race is still wide open with Chelsea, Manchester United and Arsenal battling hard for it. It will be hard to predict what would be the outcome this year's race....... 

Confidence goes a long way!

Confidence is important when it comes performing to your best. Having the confidence when performing a skill gives you the edge of actually being successful at it.

"Red Devils silenced as Gunners take top spot! "

This year's Carling cup semi-final pitted the two Manchester clubs against each other in a fierce derby battle. Man city conceded an early lead to the Red Devils but rallied to score a penalty through Tevez before half time.

" Always first to the ball!!! "

"Always first to the ball", that's what my coach always told me during the years of playing football for my high schools. I didn't understand then how crucial it is till few years back when i finally realized the importance of going for the ball first and not letting your opponents get in first.

Woeful Liverpool...

Liverpool have been knocked out of the FA cup by a Reading side that is struggling in their own league. This loss shows the lack of quality and confidence from the Liverpool side that couldn't even conjure up a good attacking play to break down a very resilient Reading defense. You would wonder how Reading ever ended up in the bottom end of the league when they managed a shock win over one of the "big fours" Liverpool. With Ace striker Torres injured in the first half and Captain Gerrard injured in the early second half, this definitely wasn't going to be Liverpool's day and the loss in the extra time condemned Liverpool to possibly their worst season in a decade.


With Liverpool's season going from bad to worse, Benitez's future at Liverpool seems to be coming to an end. Many Liverpool fans would agree after seeing their side losing Xabi Alonso, knocked out of the Champions League, knocked out of both Carling and FA cup and far far away from the top 4 spots in the league..... Which leaves the only consolation the Europa Cup. With the free transfer of Maxi Rodriguez, it goes to show that Liverpool are still financially incapable of spending with the amount of debt that the club currently have.... I wonder how the future will unfold for Liverpool....... Could this be another Leeds United......??
