The Football Manager Addiction…
Hi. My name is Ahmed Bilal, and I’m a recovering Football Manager addict. At this point, some of you may think this as non-serious.

Steven Gerrard the Hypocrite
Liverpool captain, Liverpool legend, England vice-captain (and legend-in-making) and the standard-bearer of English morality and ethical behavior, one Steven Gerrard, has many fans.

Chris Coleman: will the Welsh cookie crumble in the Basque oven?
Welsh manager Chris Coleman, sacked from his last post at Fulham, was appointed manager of Real Sociedad de Fútbol in the summer of 2007, although judging from the lack of coverage the news received, it would be fair to say that the move was swept under the carpet somewhat, and managed to avoid the elitist…
