Manchester win 3-1 against Chelsea
September 21st, 2011 by DaveTorres’s open-goal miss in the Manchester United vs Chelsea game is being hailed as a huge mistake. However, what about the rest of the game? United won by three goals to one, in what was a relatively exciting game. Played at Old Trafford, the teams walked out into promising sunshine and the game began.
This game was hard work for both teams and fans watched on with baited breath. Whether they watched from the sidelines, or had the television on in their living rooms while playing Partypoker, everyone was supporting their team. The first minute saw United kick-off with Hernandez running down behind Chelsea’s back line. However, he was not able to prevent a goal kick. (more…)
Torres Misses Open Goal
September 19th, 2011 by DaveFernando Torres, still struggling for form since his £50m transfer yesterday reached a new low as he missed an open goal after skipping through against Manchester Utd. Ironically Torres looked sharp in Chelsea’s defeat at the hands of Utd scoring once and generally making a nuisance of himself before his miss of the season that would have taken the game to 3-2 with 5 minutes remaining.
Take a look at Torres’ incredible miss here…

Transfer Rumours – 1 July 2011
July 1st, 2011 by DaveGevinho looks likely to join Arsenal as he think he’ll “fit-in”. We’re not so sure as Gervinho has won a couple of trophies recently.
Charlie Adam will cost Liverpool somewhere in the region of £9m which doesn’t seem entirely in line with Kenny Dalglish’s current transfer policy. Expect Dalgish to stump up £15m to keep his reputation in tact.
Spurs are in the market for a new striker and Harry has got his eye on Athletic Bilbao’s Fernando Llorente. Take your pick from which of the following will leave White Hart Lane: Peter Crouch, Robbie Keane, Jermain Defoe and Roman Pavluychenko. Any team interested in securing 5 goals a season could look at potentially buying all of them.
Chelsea have stiff competition from both Liverpool and Manchester City in terms of paying over the odds for players. They’ll send a shockwave to Anfield and Eastlands by agreeing to pay Palermo £45m for Javier Pastore.
That’s all for this week folks. We’ll be back with more agent inspired transfer rumours that will never come true next week!
Why Is Fernando Torres Playing So Badly?
April 13th, 2011 by Dave
Since his £50m transfer from Liverpool to Chelsea Fernando Torres has struggled to even get any convincing shots on goal let alone actually hit the back of the net. So what has happened with ‘El Niño’? (more…)
Champions League Round Up – 6 April 2011
April 7th, 2011 by DaveSpurs were all but eliminated from the Champions League on Tuesday evening in the Santiago Bernabeau thanks to a horrendous opening 15 minutes that saw them go a goal down and lose Peter Crouch as the striker seemed to forget his brain. Two pathetic attempts at tackles and Crouch received his marching orders leaving the rest of the players a near impossible task. Madrid dominated the match from start to finish, the match ending 4-0 to Madrid (Adebayor x 2, Di Maria and Ronaldo) and few would expect the return leg at White Hart Lane to be anything but a formality for Jose Mourinho’s men.
Elsewhere current kings of Europe Inter Milan were given a sound beating at home by Schalke, the away team scoring 3 goals in the second half to run away with a 5-2 victory that leaves Inter on the brink of a Champions League exit.
Wednesday night saw Chelsea pit their wits against Manchester United – Fernando Torres again looking jaded and a mere shadow of the player we all know him to be. The match finished 0-1 to United with the goal coming from Wayne Rooney (who else?) after some fine work by Ryan Giggs. Chelsea looked to have a strong case for a penalty in the dying moments but the Spanish referee Alberto Undiano Mallenco was unconvinced despite Patrice Evra’s challenge on Ramires looking very much like a clear cut penalty claim.
Champions League favourites Barcelona crushed Shakhtar Donetsk at the Camp Nou with a 5-1 victory that should see them cruise through to the semi finals. Barcelona’s goals coming from Iniesta, Alves, Pique, Keita and Xavi.
Lots of goals in the first leg games but unfortunately most of the ties looking over with the second legs effectively becoming dead rubbers. We’d be very surprised if the semi finals didn’t consist of…
- Real Madrid
- Schalke
- Manchester United
- Barcelona

Steve McClaren Works On His German Accent
September 25th, 2010 by DaveNot content with answering all his interviews while he was in Holland in a kind of weird Dutch accent – Steve McClaren has been at it again this time with a slight German twist (although I have to say, I detect a hint of Native American in there too??) to keep the German press happy. Here’s the evidence…
