Let the season truly begin!!

Even though the season has begun long back and teams have played 3/4 matches each, the real season cannot begin till the transfer window closes and the shape of the teams becomes crystallized. This especially goes for the teams like Portsmouth who bought around 13 players in the window and sold around 11. So after major [...]

Man Utd 1 Arsenal 0

Another lame match at display in the first leg of the second semi finals of the Champions league.
Man utd started out all attacking and had a chance just after 2 minutes as Almunia was forced to make a fully stretched save.
Man Utd took the lead from a somewhat unlikely scorer in John O’Shea as he [...]

Liverpool 4 Arsenal 4

What a game there was at display. 7 second half goals and yet not a winner…
Arsenal took the lead from a delightful team move following a error by Mascherano. Nasri took the ball and played a measured pass to Fabregas who then set it up for Arshavin to slot it in the middle for the [...]

EPL Results & Review (4th & 5th October 2008)

Like i had told in my preview to the weekends big 4 clashes none of the matches was a cakewalk for either of the big 4’s.
One had a easy victory, one needed a slice of luck (liberal refreeing), one needed to fight back with all they had till the very last minutes of the game [...]
