After the Luiz Felipe Scolari disaster, I’m not sure Chelsea is doing the right thing by bringing in Carlo Ancelotti, another manager who doesn’t speak fluent English. In today’s game, communication is right at the top of the list next to tactics and team selection when it comes to managing. Ancelotti, who left AC Milan on [...]

No farewell blues for Hiddink Chelsea fan or not, there can be few football impartials who would deny outgoing caretaker boss Guus Hiddink the pleasure of lifting the FA Cup. After just 22 matches in charge, this amiable Russian obviously won the hearts of both players and supporters alike and victory was the most fitting [...]

Everton striker Louis Saha made English FA Cup Final history today (May 30th) at Wembley Stadium in London, England, as he scored after just 25 seconds, before most of the crowd of 89,000 had settled into their seats.

Chelsea manager, Guus Hiddink, is hoping that today’s FA Cup final against Everton is not his last ever match as a manager in English football. Hiddink arrived at Chelsea in place of big Phil Scolari who failed to have the impact on the Premier League that many thought he would. Hiddink was given the chance [...]

The FA Cup final on May 30 may look quite one sided on paper but it is much more likely to be the opposite. Everton and Chelsea will go head to head in a match that seems quite refreshing to the football neutral. Both sides played well in their semi-finals but the fact Everton have [...]

Drogba was seen leaping off of the Chelsea bench before swearing directly into television cameras and hurling a volley of verbal abuse at referee, Tom Henning Ovrebo. Bosingwa has also been found [...]

Argentina’s Diego Maradona punched the ball into the net in a World Cup game against England, FIFA referees are still blowing calls and games…and players are still actually thumping in goals with their hands. Well, the brains behind FIFA, the game’s governing body, put their heads together on Feb. 28th to discuss a few changes [...]
