The return of Carlos Tevez

Stat Attack: Why Messi Is Number One
Following Lionel Messi’s five goals for Barcelona against Bayern Leverkusen, the Castrol EDGE Rankings confirm Pep Guardiola’s claim that “Messi’s the best, there’s no one else. He’s unique”.

Has Harry’s Tactical Naivety Cost Spurs A Title Challenge?
In the space of seven days, Tottenham Hotspur’s hopes of challenging for the Premiership title were swept aside once and for all with back-to-back defeats to Arsenal and Manchester United.

AVB: Wrong man for a transitional time
“It will always be a battle a day between those who want maximum change and those who want to maintain the status quo.” Those were the words of Sinn Fein President Gerry Adams when addressing the IRA in 2005. They also provide a pretty accurate commentary of Andre Villas Boas’ tumultuous reign at Chelsea. The…
Chelsea fire Andre Villas Boas as Abramovich backs player power
Roman Abramovich has sacked André Villas-Boas after a string of poor results that has left Chelsea fifth in the league table. Saturday’s 1-0 defeat at West Bromwich Albion left Chelsea three points behind Arsenal with 11 games to go. Villas-Boas’s assistant, Roberto Di Matteo, has been appointed the new first team coach until the end…
Arsenal: The season that promised so little duly delivers
Cesc Fabregas was overtly forthcoming in his love and admiration for Arsenal as he left for boyhood club Barcelona. His sentiments were admirable and no doubt appreciated by many an Arsenal fan sympathetic with his situation, but ultimately it was of little consolation as their club lost a genuinely world class player. In the case…
Don’t be a mug and stick with Spurs. Know what I mean ‘Arry?
So it’s “arrivederci” to Mr Capello and with that once again The FA are in search of fresh man with fresh ideas to manage the England football team. The now infamous “impossible job” is waiting ominously to be filled by a brave managerial soul and the national media appear to be in no doubt as…
Why Fernando Frequently Fails to Fire
Useless. Flop. Goddamn waste of money. Adjectives are not too hard to come by when Fernando Torres is the topic of discussion. Few footballers have fallen as far and as fast as the former Liverpool hit man has in the past 2 seasons. Once feared by the world’s finest defenders and revered by Kopites the…
Jürgen Klinsmann trying too hard to Europeanize U.S. team
Thursday was the five-month anniversary of Jürgen Klinsmann’s appointment as head coach of the United States men’s national team. In that short time, he has presided over seven games and has a paltry 2-1-4 record. He has also instituted some controversial player-selection policies, in some instances preferring European-born players to Americans. This has led to…
What Now For Fernando Torres?
Fernando Torres, once renowned as one of the most feared strikers in world football now finds himself in a disastrous situation. Almost one year since his record breaking £50 million move to Chelsea, Torres has scored mere 5 goals i.e. cost £10 million per goal. The blues have been patient but not anymore as the…
