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 [...]

Arsenal v Manchester United Semi Final no. 2!!!

A wonder strike from the World’s best footballer helped Manchester United become the first English side to beat Porto at home and go through to the Semi Final of the Champions league.
The Red devils slayed the dragons in their own home ground after Ronaldo scored a stunning strike from all of 40 yards to give [...]

The Phenomenon that is BARCELONA

The team that Europe is scared of at the moment!!!Barcelona sit 6 points clear at the top of the spanish league table and are comfortably through to the quarter finals of the Champions league. They are hot favourites to win this seasons European tournament.

The team has thrived under the leadership of Pep Guardiola. Guardiola took over the reins from Rijkaard in the summer and re-organised the squad to create one of the most beautiful attacking team in Europe. Only Manchester United might come close to Barcelona in the amount of Matches won and goals scored and conceded and more prolifically for the amount of dominance in the league.

Guardiola spent around 90 Million to rebuild the squads buying the likes of Daniel Alves, Seydou Keita, Caceres, Pique, Hleb etc…

Barca play the 4-3-3 formation and they play it without any disguise as done by the likes of Chelsea who indeed play 4-3-2-1. the front 3 of Barca are out and out forwards and can in no way be classified as wingers. Eto leads the front 3 through the centre. Bojan is used in rotation or as a substitute and is definitely capable of reaching the high standards as set by the front 3 playing for Barca.

The Barca trinity: – Attack any defense would be terrorised of

Manchester United manage to keep cool “Heads”

It was a typical European night of Football. The match kept dilly dallying from one end of the pitch to another. Manchester United settled the initial nerves when Vidic scored the opening goal. Despite the first goal Man united looked far from the convincing side which outplayed Mourinho’s Inter all over the pitch in the [...]

Whether Manchester United should buy Tevez or not?

This question would have come in Sir Alex Fergusons mind many a times this season especially after spending more than 30 million pounds on Berbatev in the summer who essentially plays at the same position.
Well if someone were to ask me, i would say, yes definitely.
Tevez was stupendous for Manchester United in their double last [...]
