The shockwaves of the 2008-2009 season are being felt in some European leagues as the season ended in most nations on the weekend. Some major and minor moves have already been made, and if you don’t keep up with them now, you may not know who’s who when next season starts. First of all, Celtic manager [...]
According to a report by media giants CNN, the richest match in all of football took place at Wembley Stadium in England, yesterday (May 25th). The game featured Championship League teams Burnley and Sheffield United squaring off in a playoff match to see who would go up to the Premier League next season. Burnley won [...]
It’s not really hard to figure out why Middlesbrough, West Brom, and Newcastle are all going down to the Championship League next season and why Sunderland and Hull came perilously close to being relegated. Not one of those five teams managed to pull out a win on the last day of the season when their [...]
If there was ever a football manager who’s living on past glory, it’s got to be current Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez. This guy is basically the one-hit-wonder of football. He’s still milking the 2005 European Champions League victory in Istanbul, where his team managed to overcome a 3-0 half time deficit to AC Milan and [...]
Italian Serie A team Juventus fired manager Claudio Ranieri with only two games to go in the season and replaced him with former player Ciro Ferrara. Juventus is only a point in front of fourth-place Fiorentina and could still miss out on the automatic Champions League berth for next year after going winless in their [...]
Sunderland blew a chance to stay in the English Premier League today (May 18) as they lost 3-1 at Portsmouth after taking a 1-0 lead and generally outplaying their fellow bottom-six team. Sunderland had enough chances to put this one away early, but couldn’t beat debuting Portsmouth keeper Asmir Begovic, who was filling in for [...]
Manchester United won their record-tying, overall 18th championship today (May 16th) at Old Trafford after a 0-0 draw with Arsenal, killing any hopes of a Liverpool miracle comeback. That’s it, it’s all over for this year and it’s really pretty hard to say that it’s not deserved. Yes, Man United may have dropped quite a few [...]
All the signs point to Manchester United repeating as English Premier League champions again this year as they only need a point from their last two games with a disappointing Arsenal at home and a woeful Hull City side away next weekend. And while stranger things have happened, United would have to totally collapse to blow [...]
Like they say, better late than never. Manchester United took a giant step closer to retaining their English Premier League Championship as Michael Carrick banged in an 87th-minute winner to edge Wigan 2-1. United needs just one point now to guarantee themselves top spot for a third year in a row and take an 18th [...]
Liverpool kept the pressure on Manchester United today (May 9th) with a relatively easy 3-0 win over West Ham at Upton Park in London. Steven Gerrard put the reds up 1-0 after just 78 seconds and there was no looking back from there. Gerrard made it 2-0 in the 38th minute after Robert Green saved [...]
