The FA is right to charge Ferguson and Queiroz, but when will they accept responsibility and start respecting the game?
To be fair, I support the principle of fining / charging players and managers with disciplinary charges if they publicly insult referees or the system in general – there is very little to be gained from such actions and all it does is bring the game into more disrepute (if bringing attention to the problem…
Why Chelsea fans want Mourinho back
There’s been a lot of criticism for Avram Grant, most of it undeserved (he’s NOT the best manager in the world, and sometimes his players just don’t play well enough). But if there’s one arena Grant definitely lacks in, it’s the ability to deal with other managers.
The Perfect Free Kick?
Cristiano Ronaldo. Straight up, straight in. No time to react, no time to even breathe. Perhaps not the best player, but definitely one of the best free kicks ever taken by CR. There have been better goals than this, surely – I remember a Leighton Baines free kick against United that was a rocket into…
Cristiano Ronaldo: A Touch of Humility
After I read Graham Fisher’s superb article about Cristiano Ronaldo, I was reminded of something from last year. I saw a goal by Ronaldo, along with his resulting display, against his childhood team, Sporting Lisbon. I wrote a blog about it on 19 September 2007, and believe that it would serve as an interesting complement…
Pele, Best, Maradona or Cristiano Ronaldo? How does CR rank with the best?
Comparisons can be a pain in the backside. My dad says that nobody was ever better than Tom Finney or Puskas, my older brother says George Best and Pele have no equals, I believe Maradona to be the best ever and my son says that Cristiano Ronaldo has more than the lot of them put…
Why Cristiano Ronaldo is good for football and England
Roma midfielder David Pizarro has hit out at Manchester United’s Cristiano Ronaldo saying that his tricks are unnecessary and show a lack of respect for the opposition. He says Ronaldo is a show off and big headed. Whilst this comment has all the hallmarks of being a great big dish of sour grapes, I wonder…
When is a dive not a dive?
Kevin Thomson is fit for Rangers’ UEFA Cup tie against Sporting Lisbon. I am so relieved because I thought he might be seriously injured. He took an awful clattering from Celtic’s Georgios Samaras when he deliberately moved his leg to the side so that he could make minimal contact with the Celtic player before throwing…
Is Defence the Key to English Success in the UEFA Champions League This Season?
Ever since Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea all made it to the Quarter-Final stage of the UEFA Champions League, this topic has been debated ad nauseam. However recently, with the real lesson in efficiency inflicted by Manchester United upon AS Roma Tuesday night, Italian newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport joins the table and provides their…

The Rooney-Ronaldo show takes Manchester United past Roma
Before this game (and indeed, before any away game Manchester United have played in the last couple of seasons) the media trotted out figures to suggest that United were abysmal away in Europe – and few United fans would have argued against it after 4 away defeats last season (Celtic, Copenhagen, Roma and Milan) in…
