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…

Gerry McDonnell returns with his weekly betting column on the English Premier League. Marriage is like a chicken vindaloo, it’s something you have to try at least once, even though you know you’ll later regret it. I experienced my seven-year itch quite early, it was on the honeymoon.

Premier League Predictions: Manchester United to beat Liverpool, Chelsea – Arsenal to draw, Newcastle United, Tottenham, Everton and Aston Villa to win
Gerry McDonnell returns with his weekly betting column on the English Premier League. Even though I was brought up as a Catholic, I have never followed a spiritual path.

Weekend Predictions: Sunderland to beat Chelsea, Brum to beat Newcastle United, Everton, Liverpool, Arsenal, Manchester United and Tottenham to win
Gerry McDonnell returns with his weekly betting column on the English Premier League. There’s life in the old dog…unfortunately Like Wayne Rooney, I’m a lover of the old.

Weekend Predictions: Liverpool to beat Newcastle, Tottenham to beat West Ham, Arsenal, Manchester United, Manchester City, Chelsea and Everton to win
Like Martin Luther King and Gandhi, I’m a fan of passive resistance; but there are some things in life that we have to fight for. For me, it’s a baby’s smile, the love of a mute woman or more affordable prices at the petrol pump. It’s to my deep and lasting regret that a serious…

Soccerlens Daily: Dumb Liverpool fans, why Barton is at Newcastle, Flamini wants more from Arsenal, Aston Villa’s sugardaddy, West Ham in courts and more
Well, that was a surprise. No, not Real Madrid losing at home to Roma (bye bye Schuster, hello Jose?), although Roma must be commended for their excellent efforts (for full coverage, read Chris’s live blog / report). No, the surprise was seeing Liverpool fans searching on Google for information on the 2nd leg game against…
Newcastle United Watch: where will Steven Taylor go – Arsenal, Manchester United, Liverpool, Tottenham, Manchester City, Chelsea, West Ham, Aston Villa, Everton, Blackburn or Portsmouth?
Steven Taylor, the much-hyped (and promising) Newcastle United defender: “The longer I hear nothing from the club the more I fear they want to sell me. If there is no offer on the table by the summer then I will have no choice but to look at my options.” So, assuming that Newcastle United get…
Premier League Round 27: Manchester United catching up on Arsenal as Everton and Liverpool favs for 4th spot
I won’t mention anything about what happened to Arsenal’s Eduardo over the weekend, since it’s been talked about plenty already, but I send my get well wishes towards him, and hope he’s back scoring goals (but not against Manchester United) again as soon as possible. It was a pretty important weekend of football in the…
