“The tie will be decided in Milan” claims Manchester United manager!

by stresster on February 24th, 2009 no comments

While everyone is predicting a cagey match at the San Siro this evening, will we instead witness two teams going for the jugular right away? Probably not, although Sir Alex Ferguson is clearly not all about keeping plenty of men behind the ball and trying to land a goalless draw, especially as such a result would leave them vulnerable in the second leg.

Why in the world are Arsenal being linked with this £20m MIDFIELDER? Wenger needs a DEFENDER!

by offsidetrap on February 23rd, 2009 17 comments

Whilst you can never trust every transfer story that comes along, this one seems to be too far out there for even Arsene Wenger and his Arsenal team. After signing Andrei Arshavin during the January window Arsenal have now set their sights on another midfield magician. But shouldn’t Arsene be chasing defenders? [Read the rest of this entry »]

Manchester United chasing AWESOME £30m defender to fill a MASSIVE role: But could another club get there first?

by offsidetrap on February 23rd, 2009 12 comments

Manchester City and Manchester United could be in for a sizzling summer transfer battle if this fantastic defender comes available. Both clubs have the money to buy big, but United could have something that could be far more intriguing than money that could pull them ahead in this transfer chase. [Read the rest of this entry »]

Tottenham player tells manager to use him or LOSE him! He’s tired of playing inconsistent minutes

by offsidetrap on February 23rd, 2009 3 comments

Tottenham’s No 1 goalkeeper, Heurelho Gomes, isn’t happy about his recent demotion from the starting XI to the bench. After injuring himself, Redknapp went out during the January window and signed former Chelsea keeper, Carlo Cudicini, as a second option. Since then things haven’t been the same for Gomes. He’s gone so far as to tell Tottenham that they need to use him or lose him. Supporters might be happy losing him! [Read the rest of this entry »]

Former Chelsea manager blasts Sir Alex Ferguson and his squad: He claims they are far from untouchable!

by offsidetrap on February 23rd, 2009 no comments

Jose Mourinho has been known to get under Sir Alex Ferguson’s skin on many occasions. Ah, who the hell are we kidding, Mourinho infuriates Ferguson more than probably any other manager not named Benitez. Ahead of the clash between Jose’s Inter and Ferugson’s United squad, the former Chelsea boss had a slight dig at the club that Arsenal’s Arsene Wenger said was untouchable.

Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester United or Liverpool: Which club stands the best chance of falling on their face in the Champions League?

by offsidetrap on February 23rd, 2009 4 comments

Many have been waiting for this week’s Champions League matches for some time now. The mouthwatering ties this week give us Manchester United facing Inter; Chelsea going head-to-head against Juventus; Arsenal facing an undermanned AS Roma side; and Liverpool taking on Real Madrid in a clash of the titans. Whilst we could very well see all four progress to the quarterfinals, there’s still a good chance one or more could crash out. [Read the rest of this entry »]

Has a silver lining emerged in Everton’s injury crisis? Moyes will test this will of this young star

by offsidetrap on February 23rd, 2009 1 comment

As they always say: In every dark cloud there emerges a silver lining. Whilst David Moyes would rather not have to deal with dark clouds, he really doesn’t have any other option after midfielder, Mikel Arteta, was lost for the rest of the season. But could Everton supporters have the distinct opportunity of watching a young star mature before their very eyes? It’s looking that way after Moyes made it clear that youth will be served this season. [Read the rest of this entry »]

Moaning Arsenal manager has a whinge about latest ‘illogical’ decision to go against him

by stresster on February 23rd, 2009 4 comments

Give it a rest Arsene old chap. We understand that it must be frustrating to go from being Premiership champions to the fifth best team in the league, with the current starting XI looking like a very poor imitation of the side that won so much silverware under the management of Monsieur Wenger. However, this latest outburst is simply ridiculous! [Read the rest of this entry »]

A CERTAIN SOMEONE is confident of knocking Manchester United out of Europe: Who will go through?

by stresster on February 23rd, 2009 no comments

It might have made for a marvellous Champions League final in May, but either the English or the Italian champions will be heading out of the competition at the last sixteen stage. The bookmakers make the Red Devils the slight favourites to progress to the quarter finals, although this individual is characteristically confident that his team can eliminate the holders.

Are Everton set for a HUGE dip in form? They’ll need to fill this GIGANTIC hole if they want to win any silverware!

by offsidetrap on February 23rd, 2009 1 comment

Losing Yakubu early in the season is a mere blip on the radar now compared to the injury crisis Everton are now facing. Even their manager claims the club can’t handle these problems late in the season! So is the Merseyside outfit set for a season that ends with a whimper? Only the current squad can answer that question. [Read the rest of this entry »]

Liverpool receive MASSIVE news ahead of Champions League clash with Real Madrid: Rafa needed this!

by offsidetrap on February 23rd, 2009 6 comments

Saturday’s disheartening home draw against Manchester City threw Liverpool’s league title hopes into a full-blown tailspin. Now seven points behind Manchester United, the Anfield club may want to start setting their sights on the only other piece of silverware still on the table — the Champions League trophy.

Talk about kicking a man when he’s down. Sir Alex Ferguson can barely contain his delight at the fact that Arsenal are struggling to beat anyone in the Premier League at the moment, claiming that the team lacks balance due to Arsene Wenger’s transfer policy. [Read the rest of this entry »]

Arsenal manager blames Sunderland for bore draw: Should he be looking closer to home?

by stresster on February 23rd, 2009 5 comments

The Black Cats nearly secured a goalless draw at Old Trafford last December, conceding in the last minute against the champions, although they were able to keep Arsenal at bay on Saturday. The result leaves the Gunners with much work to do if they are to land a top four spot, and Arsene Wenger is not a happy bunny. [Read the rest of this entry »]
