If yesterday’s Champions League draw taught us anything, it’s that Chelsea and Manchester United surely have a guardian angel (or a man named Platini) looking over them. With the exception of Villarreal and AS Roma, both should surely waltz into the knockout stage of the tournament.
For Arsenal and Liverpool, the road doesn’t seem to […]

A study published in 2005 revealed that red-clad athletes outperformed competitors who wore blue. The boffins suggested that the win discrepancy occurred because of an innate association of red with dominance and assertiveness.
