Rafa’s army for Liverpool’s Premier League domination
While going out and buying the world’s best players is a great way to get the glory you desire, there’s nothing like overseeing the development of a player from a youngster with high potential to a world-class star. There are several sides in the Premier League with talent-laden academies, but it’s certainly hard to argue…
Top 11 Football Rejects: Ronaldo, Ljungberg, Appiah, Canizares and Davids lead the way
So, the transfer deadline (August 31) has passed and the football market is now closed. Closed? Not quite.

Aren’t you happy you didn’t sign David Villa?
There are several clubs who were left on the altar, so to speak, with respect to a few big signings this summer. Liverpool lost out on Barry, Real Madrid lost out on Ronaldo, Chelsea and United may still lose out on Robinho and Berbatov, Tottenham reportedly lost out on Villa (although to be fair they…
Don’t blame Rafa, blame Liverpool’s ‘stars’
If a team does poorly, or as is the case in modern-day football, fails to entertain, the blame falls on the manager.
