Manchester United already had depth at every position on the pitch, but if the club does decide to let Crisitano Ronaldo go this summer, the club already has a player in mind to fill a necessary spot on the pitch. He’d be well worth the funds! [Read the rest of this entry »]

by offsidetrap on February 25th, 2009 no comments

When it’s all said and done it could be a handshake (or lack thereof) that’s proves to be the difference between Inter coming out victorious in their Champions League clash with Manchester United. OK, that might be taking it a bit too far, but what was really going on with Mourinho and Ferguson yesterday? The “former” Special One said it was no big deal that the two didn’t meet on the sidelines after the match. [Read the rest of this entry »]

With rumours swirling about over Rafa Benitez’s future at Liverpool, it seems like everyone and their mum is coming out to give their opinion on the Spaniard’s future at the club.

Should Arsenal GET RID of this player? Surely he’s the weakest link in the team?

by stresster on February 25th, 2009 8 comments

The Gunners should already be in the quarter finals of the Champions League. They were vastly superior to Roma on Tuesday night, with the Italian side counting their lucky blessings that they escaped from the Emirates with a 1-0 defeat. There was a reason why they got out of jail in North London. [Read the rest of this entry »]

Former Chelsea manager is looking forward to his return to Stamford Bridge: What kind of reception will supporters give him?

by offsidetrap on February 25th, 2009 no comments

They called him the “tinkerman” during his time at Chelsea for his knack of rotating his starting XI on a moments notice. Like Rafa Benitez at Liverpool, Claudio Ranieri was criticised for the way he managed Chelsea during his time at Stamford Bridge; but like Benitez, Ranieri found ways to have great success during his time at the club before he departed in 2004.

Will THIS PLAYER miss out for Tottenham in the Carling Cup final?

by stresster on February 25th, 2009 5 comments

It’s not every season that Spurs find themselves in a cup final at Wembley, although they have somehow managed to make to achieve this in back-to-back seasons. Harry Redknapp is going to have a few disappointed members of the squad on his hands after he announces the starting line-up, and it appears as though this trusty player is going to miss out again!

‘We matched Manchester United’ claims Inter player: Had he been drinking at the time?!

by stresster on February 25th, 2009 1 comment

Unless you are a wearer of blue-and-black-tinted spectacles, it was pretty clear which team was most dominant on Tuesday night. Manchester United could have been 2-0 or 3-0 up by half-time, with the Red Devils toying with a team who looked anything like the champions of Italy. Nevertheless, this player has conveniently decided to see the game differently. [Read the rest of this entry »]

Confident Arsenal start second-half with nine men: But will they pay for missed chances?

by stresster on February 25th, 2009 2 comments

Goodness me, where did that performance come from? After goalless draws against West Ham and Sunderland, the Gunners came out of the traps flying against Roma and should really have more than a 1-0 advantage to take to Rome in a fortnight. However, it appears that one or two of the players should brush up on their time-keeping! [Read the rest of this entry »]

Liverpool manager has more than enough fuel for his fire: He can thank Tottenham’s former manager for the new quote!

by offsidetrap on February 24th, 2009 4 comments

The silence on Merseyside is deafening at the moment. Whilst Real Madrid continue to speak their mind ahead of Wednesday’s Champions League clash, Rafa Benitez and his side have remained calm and stoic, never once wanting to enter the verbal battle. They’re probably cutting out newspaper clips to post on the wall prior to the match at this very moment!
