ROONEY IS PROMISED CASH AS GIFTS.

Wayne Rooney has been promised huge amounts of money as a bonus , in a way to tempt him from leaving Manchester United and joining either Barcelona or Real Madrid.The two Spanish giants.
This is what he is promised. 250,000 pounds to win the F.I.F.A footballer of the year.
50,00 pounds for topping the E.P.L. in goal scoring.
100,000 for winning the P.F.A.Player of the year.
100,000 pounds for winning the Europen footballer of the year and the Europen golden boot.
Christiano Ronaldo was also offered all this amount , and he won them as well.
The total amount Rooney can win is 500,000 pounds. I wonder where Manchester will get the money from?

FERGUSON SAYS THAT ROONEY IS NOT FOR SALE.

Sir Alex Ferguson has said that Wayne rooney is not for sale at any price. But let me remind you all that when there was talk of Christiano Ronaldo leaving Manchester United he strongly denied it . He pleaded to Ronaldo not to leave. But he said that he would not sell real madrid a virus even. But when the debts of the club mounted he sold Ronaldo for a record 80 million pounds , and in 2009 Manchester made a profit. With 716 million pounddebt plus 504 millon pound bonds all borrowed money , it is clear Wayne Rooney to will go to spain one day.Just selling, Anderson, Tosic, vidic, Owen, nani will not bring the money needed.To add to this Cris Smalling is bought for 7 million pounds.The Glazers must know one thing buying a club is one thing managing it is something else.

ADRIAN MUTTU FAILS A DRUG TEST AGAIN.

The Romanian and Fiorentina striker Adrian Muttu has failed a drug test once again. This was found in Rome where it was tested the report says that it was taken on the January 10th 2010 after the Bari game verses Fiorentina in which he scored a goal.
It is also reported that the prresident of the Italian club Lazio is also angry and has demanded the match with Fiorentina be replayed. As Adrian muttu has been found guilty of doping in the match. In thast match also Adrian Muttu had scored a goal. The drug used was the same , itis called SIBUTRAMINE. It is banned in Europe and also in the Europen Union.
I will take your memorry back to 2004 when Adrian Muttu failed a cocaine test when playing for Chelsea. He was told to pay back to Chelsea 17 million pounds. Muttu said he did not have that much money. Such footballers should be banned for life not a few months or years..

CLAUDIO GENTILE TO TAKE OVER JUVENTUS AS COACH.

The Old Lady of Turin, Juventus have decided to have a interim coach for the rest of the season, they have chosen Claudio gentile for the job. Claudio Gentile was right back in his playing days for Juventus. The main purpose was that the club were doing badly this season and may not make it to the champion league next year.
It is believed that the Juventus board are busy making a contract for their next coach , which is believed to be Rafael Benitez. Whose job has become more in doubt after Liverpool drew with Wolverhampton a club deep in relegation.We will have to wait for the summer to find out.

I FEEL MANCHESTER UNITED COULD END LIKE LEEDS.

I have a strong feeling that Manchester United is ging out the way Leeds United disapeared from the E.P.L all together.Leeds United were a good and a popular club with proud fan following. They played in the champion League in the year 2005, not very long ago. But sadly they went into debt, and slipped to the second division and now this year they are in the third division.
Will this same fate face the mighty Red Devils Manchester United team, as they are selling, Vidic, Anderson, Nani, Berbatov and others. As it is with the departure of Christiano Ronald manchester had lost their heart now if Rooney is sold to Barcelona they will loose their legs as well. As Wayne Rooney is scoring goals, Berbatov and Owen hardly do anything.

EECENTRIC GOALKEEPERS.

In football there have been very good goalkeepers , but they have also been very eccentric in their behavior on the pitch. Jose Luis Chillavert the Paraguayan goalkeeper was even the goalkeeper of the year twice.And in the world cup he was a real wall between the posts, but he was banned and fined for spitting at Roberto Carlos.Fabian Barthez was to bothered cleaning his studds while the penalty was taken and scored. Kazadi Mwamba of Zaire in the 1974 world cup he mae a howler against Brazil 3-0 loss. And became the first goalkeeper to be substituted in a world cup , either then to a injury or a red card. verses yugoslavia he had let in nine goals. And of course Renne Higuitta of Columbia , who can forget his blunder of blunder verses Cameroon. In which he dashed out to the half line to slip and let Rogger Milla score the goal that knocked out Columbia from the world cup.

THE FASTEST 50 GOALS IN THE E.P.l.

TOM HICKS SELLS HIS BASEBALL TEAM.

Mr tom Hicks the joint owner of the English football club F.c.Liverpool has decided to sell his baseball team in the U.S.A called The Texas Rangers to a former player , who hold cult states at the club Mr Nolan Ryan and a lawyer named Mr Chuck Greenberg. The club was sold out for a gramnd total of 500 million dollars or 310.3 million pounds. But now the M.L.B rules requre that the agreement must be recieved and must be approvedby 75% of the team owner.
This team The Texas rangers was once upon a time owned by George Bush senior, when he was governor of Texas in the year 1990. The two parties will have to get the whole deel cleared by 5/4/2010 because the new baseball season will start that day. But Mr Tom Hicks has no intention to sell his Ice Hockey team or N.H.L , called The DALLAS STARS. Mr George Gillett sold his 80% hold of the N.H.L teamcalled The MONTREAL CANADEANS. But the sad news is that none of this money will go to Liverpool. It will help pay his debt.

BARCELONA WANT WAYNE ROONEYBADLY.

Wayne Rooney the 24 year old striker is very much in demand, mainly by the two Spanish giants Barcelona and Real Madrid. Rooneys new contract at Manchester united has not yet started, the main stumbling block is that Rooney wants a weekly salary of 140,000 pounds a week. It is a huge amount for a Club who is in deep financial trouble to pay . Barcelona are willing to pay Wayne Rooney 8 million pounds a year , after tax.And also a weekly salary of 200,000 pounds a week. This can not be matched by Manchester United now.
But the real challenger is Real madrid, Florentino Perz is a man who gets what he wants. And selling Rooney will help Manchester make a profit next year.
But if the new law comes into place Manchester united can not take part in the champion league if they fail to balance their books for three years.

SOME BAD BUYS BY RAFAEL BENITEZ.

Rafael Benitez has spent a great deal of money on footballers many came from Spain as he is a spaniard, but all were not good buys. So here is a list of them.
1) Alonso Nunez, Fernando Morientes for6.3 million ,Mark Gonzales 4.5 million, Greig Bellamy 6 million, Ryan Babel 11.5 million, Robbie Keane this was the worst buy he paid Spurs 20.3 million and then sold him later back to them for8.3 million, Philip Degan, Anrea Dossena for7 million, Andreiy Voronin. And jermaine Pennant for 6.7 million. All these are in million of pounds each and he sold some very cheaply later on.

MR COOK SAYS MANCHESTER CITY WILL BE THE BEST CLUB.

Garry Cook the chairman of Manchester city claims that the club will be he greatest club ever. but I would like to remind Mr Cook and the Manchester City fans , not to get carried away . In the first year they had a debt of 92 million ponds. And with the money spent on players in 2009 , it will increase greatly . And all the goals are coming from Carlos Tevez only.It is ages since Bellamy , Wright Philips orGareth Barry have scored any goals.They are there in that number because of Shay Given and Tevez. even the two ex Arsenal players have failed badly and so has Lescott failed. He is half the player he was at Everton.If a City player can score frm their midfielders like say Rosicky Fabregas, Giggs,Gerrard do regularely in a season over 12 goals then only can Mr Cook boast oe even hope. money will not win silverware, and that is clear.Lok at Barcelona and Real Madrid, Xavi Hernandez Gutti got goals in sacks in their time.

IN JANUARY WAS MESSI OR RONALDO BETTER.

When Christiano Ronaldo joined Real Madrid for world record ammount of 80 million pounds , from Manchester United, great things were expected from him, but sadly it is not so. It is quite possiblle that the big price on him is affecting his play. While on the other hand Lionel Messi has no such worry, he has continued where he left last year, this year he has scored a hat trick as well in January and did help in a few assists as well. While on the other hand Ronaldo has failed to score a single goal in the month of january.

ARJEN ROBBEN WARNS FRANCK RIBERY.

The Dutch winger Arjen Robben has warned is teammate atbayern Munich, that he should not move to the Spanish giants Real Madrid. The reason being that at bayern Munich he is a big star,and if he does move to Real madrid he will be only a star and there are chances that he will be on the bench as they have a big squad. It has happened before and Aleksander Hlep is a example he hardly played any games for Barcelona.

WESTHAM UNITED ARE FINED 115,000 POUNDS.

Westham United have been fined a sum of 15,000 pounds, for failing to control their fans in a carling match with Millawall. Now that Westham United have new owners Mr Gold and Mr Sullivan, who now only own 50 percent of the club. The two of them say that the debt by Westham United stands at 110 million pounds. so in such a financial loss times, it was extra money lost. It could have helped to buy at least a player.

SIR TREVOR BROOKINGS IS VERY ALARMED.

Sir Trevor Brookings the head of the English F.A is indeed very worried these days. The reason is that England have not yet produced any new talent of world class quality from the clubs youth system in years. He very clearly says this, I fail to see any Steven Gerrards, Frank Lampard, Joe Coles or Michael Owens comming inthe English team very soon.
And sadly the only wise manager in the E.P.L is Arsene Wenger who loves to develop youngster for the future. Take a look at Arsenal team they are just with an average of 23 or 24 years.
And he has got two youngsters in January from Brazil and Bolivia both aged 17 years only. The advantage here is that they come cheap as well.

IS SAMUEL GALINDO REALLY 17 YEARS OLD?

Arsenal have a new footballer in their club, he is called Samuel Galindo and comes from South American country , Bolivia. He claims to be 17 years old and played in the under 20 world cup for Bolivia, he is capable of playing as a striker as well as a midfielder, The problem that has risen is that a television channel claim to hold a copy of his passport in which it states Samuel Galindo is actually 20 years and not 17 years as claimed.
But the point of intrest is that the Bolivan F.A. must have a copy of his passport to select him in the under 20 , for the world cup.
Arsene Wenger is known to develop young players from around the world and make them stars.

37 FOOTBALLERS TO PLAY AT 4 WORLD CUPS.

There are a total of 37 footballers who have taken part in four different world cups, and there are two footballers who took part in five world cups.Here the footballers should have played for some time on the pitch to be counted, just being selected in the team will not do.The Brazilian Ronaldo did not play in the 1994 world cup even though he was selected, also Bobby Charlton missed out.
1) Antonio Carbajal 5 world cups.2) Cafu, 3) Paulo Maldini, 4)Lothaur matthaus, 5) Karl heinz Schenelliger, 6)Guseppe Beregomi,7)Giani Rivera, 8)Frank vander Elst,9) Diego Maradona/ 10 Pele and Uwe Seeler.
As Paulo Maldini retired before the 2006 world cup , he failed to play in 5 world cups

MESSI SCORES 100 GOALS FOR BARCELONA.

Lionel Messi the Argentinan footballer who plays his club football in Spain, with the Spanish giants F.C.Barcelona. He has now passed a big milestone in his young career. Lionel Messi has now scored ahundred goals for his club, and we must remember that he is only 22 years of age. So what will be his final total when he reaches the age of 33 or 35 years? And as Barcelona is a big club, every player has to be fit and in form to make it to the final team, and Messi has done this very well.
Lionel Messi had hormone trouble when young and the Barcelona doctors treated him at that early age. At 22 years Messi has also won the Europen footballer of the year and also the F.I.F.A footballer of the year. And he is also the First Argentinan footballer to win the F.I.F.A footballer of the year, considering Argentina have produced great footballers over the year.

RAFAEL BENITEZS DAYS ARE NUMBERED.

Rafael Benitez and the Liverpool fans and players are having a terrible year. With injuries to their main players steven Gerrard and Fernando Torres, and the selling of Xavi Alonso to Real Madrid, and Roberto Aqullani has not been able to fill in those boots.Patience at the club has grown thin, with fans and old Liverpool players asking for the sacking of Rafael Benitez.The anger on the two American owners is also there , they promised a new stadium, which has not come yet.
But the Italian club The Old Lady Juventus are waiting for Rafael to get the sack.As their manager in Italy has also come under fire. And the Dutch manager Guuss Hidink who was former Chelsea manager wants the jobas well. But the stumbling block wil be Roman Abromovich who will have to agree to it.

WHO WILL FOLLOW MANCHESTER UNITED ?

Now that Manchester United are really in a mess of 700 million pound debt, there many other clubs in the same group such as Liverpool, Chelsea, Real Madrid and may be Manchester City.
The funny thing is these clubs do not want to stop buying, they should do what arsenal do, sell a few players and then buy players.Liverpool is imn debt but it wants to spend 25 million pounds on a striker called Marone Chamakh., Real Madrid want to tempt Manchester by offering 70 million pounds for Wayne Rooney and 35 million for Cesc Fabregas. Real Madrid debt could well reach 800 million pounds. Costly players also have costly weekly salary. wayne Rooney wants 140,000 pounds a week from Manchester United, which he may not get. Joe Cole of Chelsea wants 120,000 pounds a week in his new contract, but Chelsea are not keen to give that much. Liverpool, Manchester United, Liverpool and Real Madrid are watching like hawks to buy him.
Is this sensible during recession times.Only Arsene wenger is sensible, even when all strikers were injured he did not splash money in the January transfer window.

THE GLAZERS HAVE MADE A MESS AT MANVHESTER.

It is sad that Glazer family have made a real big mess at OLD TRAFFORD. They came from the U.S.A and brought the Manchester United club on loans taken from banks, and not their own money. the recession came and these banks suffered. The debt has crossed 700 million pounds. Last yeasrs sale of Ronaldo kept the ship just up from sinking, notany longer. So Wayne Rooney will be sold for 70 million pounds.They lost their legs with ronaldo now they wil loose their heart.
The next move is to sell out OLD Trafford and then lease it. Also their training ground at Carrington.So funds will be generated. They mainly feel that the 5000 million pound Bonds may not generate enough money.
I would remind you all what Eric Cantona said, He said the Glazers should not buy Manchester united as they know nothing of football or this glorious club. Let them go back to the U.S.A and buy the Cocoa Cola company instead ,, this was in 2005, in five years the glazers have brought this imortal club to its knees.

NOW THE CHEQUE BOOKS COME OUT.

Now it is crystal clear the things at Manchester United where finance was concerned are in a very bad state. Their debt by the Glazer family had crossed 700 million pounds, and it will get worse in the next year. So last year Christiano Ronaldo was sold for 80 million pounds, because of this they had a profit this year. Now it is the turn of Wayne Rooney to be sold and both the Spanish giants are ready to splash the money. Both are offering 70 million pounds for him, they may bargain and make it 75 or even 80 million pounds in the end. But Wayne Rooney has repeatedly said that he does not want to go to Spain.
But the meltdown at Manchester has truely begun in a big way, will it be the end.

RONALDO WAS NOT THE ONLY BIG MISS THIS YEAR..

At Manchester united the fans are under the impression that it was Christiano Ronaldo , whose absence has caused the main difference. But it is not so Antonio Valencia has not been able to fill those big boots of Ronaldo. Even though he has speed , he can not score penalties or screfrom a free kick. And Dimitrov Berbatov has also been a failure as a striker.He is to slow and does not have desire to chase the ball.
But the biggest miss at Manchestewr united is Carlos Tevez, the person Ferguson said was not worth 25 million pounds. But we know how well Tevez has played at Manchester City , he has scored 12 goals and eight assists.So this is the main reason why Manchester United have not done well.

WILL THERE BE A SUMMER CLEAN UP IN MANCHESTER UNITED.

It really looks like there will be a summer clean up at manchester United. Main reasons for this is that U.e.F.A have clearly said the new rule which will come into affect soon, States that any club in U.E.F.A must balance their books , and any club showing losses for thre years in a row can not take part in theChampion League.
So Clubs will be forced to sell players to make money. Manchester are set to sell, Luis Nani, Zoran Tosic, Dimitrov Berbatov, Nemanja vidic . Mainly it is Berbatov a player who came at huge price of 30,70 million pounds has failed badly, critics say he is lazy and has no desire to chase the ball to score.We shall see how many do get sold in the summer.Even Anderson will be shown the door.

MANCHESTER UNITEDS HUGE DEBT.

Manchester United have made a a pre tax profit for 2009. this is mainly due to the selling of Christiano Ronaldo for a record fee of 80 million pounds, and reaching the champion league final verses Barcelona also helped,adding to this was the E.P.L winner and Carling xcup winners cash. But last year they were in loss.. Sothey have decided to issue Bonds for 500 million pounds, to help generate funds.
But all is not well there the Glazers have taken a 10 million pound loan. And early the club papays huge interest, last year they paid 41.9 million as interest. Now the total debt of the club is a huge amount it has passed the 700 milllion pounds since the Glazer family took over at Manchester United in 2005.

FERGUSON WANTED TO SIGN PAULO MALDINI.

Sir Alex Ferguson admitted to the press recently that he longed to sign Paulo Maldini from A.c. Milan some years ago. But it was turned down by Ceasere Maldini, Paulo Maldini s father. Maldini senior told Ferguson rather bluntly sorry not a chance. You see my father and myself played for A.c. Milan now it is Paulo Maldini who is playing for A.c. Milan.And he will play there only he will be a one club player , like your Ryan Giggs both great players in their own positions.
And when Paulo Maldini finally retires , which he did at the age of 40 years , it will be his sons turn to play for A.c. Milan. Now A.C Milan have withdrawn the famous 3 jersey worn by Paulo Maldini for 40 years. But the number will be given to Paulo Maldini son who is now in the youth team at A.C. Milan.

PEOPLE WHO MISSED BEING FOOTBALLERS

Over the years there have been many people who started as footballers but ended up doing something else.
1) Alan Prost of France started as footballer , but ended up as a formula one driver.
2) Julio Iglesses the Spanish singer started as a footballer with Real madrid, but got hurt,and a nurse gave him a guitar to cheer him up.
3) Mark and steve Waugh, both these twins played football for Sydney F.C. But ended up playing cricket for Australia.
4) The Pope John Paul 11. Was a goalkeeper in a club in Poland, his love for football was always there.He even blessed Shay Given in 2001 on his wedding.

U.E.F.A SAYS CLUB MUST BALANCE THEIR BOOKS.

U.E.F.A have now clearly said that football clubs must balance their books well. And now only those who do iut will be considered for the Champion League and the U.E.F.A cup.
What has to be done now? Michael Platini says these clubs must do it and if they fail to do it for a period of three years . Then these clubs will be forced to sell their big stars to make it happen then. Now as spending has gone over the roof then clubs like Liverpool, Manchester United Chelsea, Porthsmouth and Real Madrid are the main one to suffer.
As Arsene Wenger the Arsenal coach who is one of the very few managers to balance the book each year says this. Today clubs want to spend madly and then expect a rich Arab Sheikh or a Russian oil tycoon to buy their club and bail them out. This not possible every time look at West Ham U nited and New Castle United .

WAS THIS A WISE MOVE?

The former Arsenal and French midfielder has made a move from Inter Milan to Manchester City for free, but he will recieve a weekly salary of 150,000 pounds which is huge for a 33 year old player. Patrick Viera is no longer a player that he was aat Arsenal. In his two and half years at Inter Milan he played a total of 54 games and scored six goals only.
He was keen to play in any club that would take him, as he and Henry wanted to Play for France in the 2010 world cup.
But the big question asked of Robero Mancini will be, what will happen to Stephen Ireland, Gareth Barry, Komany and Nigel De Jong will he change the midfield now?
At Inermilan Patrick Vieira became a liability and not a asset.
Now it is reported that Patrick Vieira will not make a early debut for City as he is suffering from a calf injury already.

RONALDOs DIVING CONTINUES.

All bad habbits die hard, so is it with Christiano Ronaldo, who took his diving skill from Manchester United to Real Madreid. Even at Manchester he got away with his diving and then scoring goals from Penalties and freekicks.
In the match between Real Madrid and Osasuno, as the mighty Real Madrid was being held for adraw Ronaldo, tried his skill toi get a penalty.
To which the ground started jeering himand branded him the PORTUGESE SON OF A BITCH.
Actually the referees should show a red card to such shameless cheats asRonaldo.

MANCHESTER WILL SPEND 40MILLION ON HATEM.

Manchester United are willing to splash a huge amount of money to buy the French and Marseille player, Hatem Ben Arfa, who is 22 years old. Who is also dubbed the wonder winger.
He joined Marseille from Lyon for 9 million pounds. The main reason Alex Ferguson wants him is to replace Ryan Giggs in the long run, as Giggs will be 37 years soon.. But as Real Madrid are also keen on him, the price for the youngster has now shot up it is 40 million pounds.But Ferguson says that Manchester United have the funds to buy him even as their debts mount higher each year.
But the funniest thing is after his move to Marseille for 9 million pounds, Hatem Ben Arfa has not been the same player he was in Lyon.

THE FASTEST 50 GOALS FOR LIVERPOOL.

The Spaniard Fernando Torres or The El Nino as he is called ,meaning The Kid. Has scored his way into the record books at Liverpool. He has now scored the fastest 50 goals ever for Liverpool. The 25 year Spaniard took a total of 72 games to score those 50 goals.
The previous record was set jointly by Albert Stubbins and Sam Raybould. But these two players took 80 games to score their 50 goals, that is they took eight games more to achieve it.

WAYNE ROONEY TO BE MANCHESTER UNITEDS NEW CAPTAIN.

Now that Manchester united captain Garry Neville will be retiring at the end of the season , as a new contract is not coming forward, mainly as he is 34 years of age and the last two years were injury one for him.But as Ryan Giggs is also 36 years and running 37 years old next year.
Now the choice of captain for the next year is now most likely to be given to Wayne Rooney.The only draw back with Wayne Rooney is that he is a hot headed player.

GARRY NEVILLE TO HANG UP HIS BOOTS.

Gary Neville the former captain of Manchester United, who played well over 550 games for Manchester United, and many aling with his brother Philip Neville, before Philip moved to Everton.
The main reason was that he was no longer fit and he spent most of the last two seasons injured , and a new contract was not comming from Manchester United.And he is now on the wrong side of thirty years.

MANCHESTER CITY POSTS HUGE LOSS IN 2008/09.

Manchester city has posted huge loss for the year 2008/2009. Undere the new owners The Dubai company, and Sheikh Mansoor their owner.The amount was a huge 92.6 million pounds, or 148 million dollars. Here we must remember that in that year only Robhino was brought for 32.5 million pounds from Real Madrid. 2009/2010 saw manchester City buy Carlos Tevez, Shay Givens Gareth Barry, Kolou Toure , Emmanuel Adebayoor and Lescott.
Sheikh Mansoor has invested a total of 395million pounds and and converted loans of 305 million poundsas an equity. And also brought hares for 90 million pounds.
There were things to cheer as well, the turnout increased by 6%or 687 million pounds. And the average attendance rose marginally as well from 42,081 to 42,890. The club is playing in the Semifinal of the Carling cup and played in the U.E.F.A.last year.

MANCHESTER UNITED NOT IN A HURRY TO BUY THE HULK.

Manchester United are not at all in a hurry to buy the Brazilian striker Giovanildo Vieira deSouza. Who plays his club football at F.c. Porto. His pet name is THE HULK. As he resembles the actor in the movie called the Incredible Hulk.
Manchester United want a sriker as Dimitrov berbatov has been a failure, since they paid 30.70 million pounds for him, and the goals are far and few .But the brazilian striker is also not in a hurry to move as he wants to make his place secure for the 2010 world cup for Brazil.

LEEDS HUMILATE MANCHESTER UNITED IN THE F.A.

Leeds United beat Manchester United at Old Trafford, in front of their own fans , in the third round of the F.A. cup.This is the first time that Sir Alex Ferguson has been knocked out in third round of the F.A. cup. The last time they were knocked out was in 1984 by third division club was by Bournemouth.
Leeds had a bigger desire to win and the goal came from a inform striker Jermaine Beckford, in the 19th minute.Johnny Howson sent a 50 metere pas to Beckford , who controled the ball beautifully and then slotted the ball in the net.
Ferguson was taken aback with the result. He said after the match I must admitt I did not expect this result today.
But the winner is Jermaine Beckford. As NewCastle United are after him to join them, as they are leaders in the second division he will be playing in the E.P.L next year.

FULHAM THRASH MANCHESTER UNITED.

When Manchester United played Fulham, they were missing their defence with Ferdinand, Brown, Neville and Johnny Evans missing. So Michael Carrick and Darren Fletcher played along Rafael DSilva. In the first half we saw that Fulham had come with a desire to win . the person for Fulham was Bobby Zamora, he scored a goal anf provided one for Duff to score. The first goal came when Paul Scholes had the ball stolen from him , as he was slow and casual about it, the next thing he knew was Danny Murphy who took the ball from his feet scored a 20 yard goal. Bobby Zamora then scored the second in the second half. Then Alex Ferguson tried all his skill , he kept Giggs on and added more strikers all three ,Rooney, Owen and Berbatov, with a hope to score a goal back. But in the injury time Danmin Duff took a Zamora pass back and then scored the third goal. There was no way back for Manchester United, it ended 3-0 inFulhams favour.

CLUBS WANT THE EL NINO FOR 140 MILLION POUNDS.

Both E.P.L football clubs Chelsea and Manchester City are keen to buy the Spanish striker Fernando Torres, called the El Nino . Or THE KID. Either in january or in the summer. The amount is a huge , huge amount it doubles roughly the amount of the sale of Christiano Ronaldo. Who was sold for 80, million pounds. Both these clubs are willing to shell out 140 million pounds for Torres.And 15 million pounds as yearly salary as well.
But the major problem facing Liverpool club is that Rafael Benitez has made it absolutely clear, that if the two American owners of Liverpool, Mr Hicks and Mr Gillett, sell Fernando Torres to ease their financial problems without Benitezs knowledge. Then Rafael Benitez would walk out of Liverpool and join a club in Spain.

WHAT EVER DID HAPPEN TO LEEDS UNITED?

Leeds united at one time was a big and proud club, with famous footballers in the club such as Mark viduka, Alan Smith, Jonathan Woodgate, Harry Kewell, Paul Robinson and Nigel martyns in the goal.Their manager was David O Leary.In the E.p.l they used to be in the top four, as till then Chelsea and the russian money was not there. In the 2005 Champion League Leeds did take part.
They later sacked David O Leary, and had to pay him a huge amount which lead to their finance problems, top players were sold they then went to be under the adminstrator also. But today they are struggling in the third division onEngland.
The big question asked is will Porthsmouth face the same fate.AS they have not paid the players in time for the third time this year, and the French clubLens has apealled to both F.I,F,A and u.E.F.A to take action against Portsmouth as they have failed to pay the money owed to the French club.

WHO IS THE FOOTBALLER OF THE DECADE?

It is a good idea to find out the best footballer of the decade. And here we are counting the footballers from all countries, as well as all positions.Would it be the the worlds costliest goalkeeper Gianluighi Buffon or the great playmaker Zinedine Zidane, or would it be little Lionel Messi the Footballer of the year 2009. Or for the matter Ronaldo Lima of Brazil, who has played, in Holland, Italy, Spain and Brazil.
The winner was .
1) Ronaldo Lima.
2) Zinedine Zidane.
3) Lionel Messi.

PORTSMOUTH WILL SOON BE BANKRUPT.

The english football club Portsmouth are facing tough times where finances are concerned. And it so bad that it could very well be the first English football club in the E.P.L, to be declared Bankrupt afterit was given a deadline to clear all its debt by the British goverment.
The HM Revenue and custom filed a winding up petition against Porthsmouth, at the London high court, to be heard on december 23rd. and the club must show proof that the club can pay the tax it is now owing . A full hearing is set for 10/2/2010.And if the HMR has not recovered its money from Portsmouth by then, the club will be declared bankrupt and a reciever would be appointed.
But Portsmouth have been disputing the amount it owes in taxationdebt aand is expecting the HMRC to withdraw their demands .
But the French football club LENS has demanded that Porsmouth should be closed,as they have not paid the fee from two players Dindane .Neither have players got their weekly salary on time.
