HOW SION LOST 36 POINTS.

the Swiss club F.c. Sion has a total of 36, thirty six points deducted which could only mean relegation and a exodus of players from the club at the end of the season.
Just like the Italian giants Juventus, also called THE OLD LADY OF TURIN, was also had points deducted and relegated for a match scandal.
F.I.F.A had told the club Sion that as it faced a embargo of buying and selling og players since some time. But they still went ahead and bought players.
F.i.f.A was going to ban all Swiss clubs from both F.I.F.A and U.E.F.A games . This meant no world cup, Euro cup or Champion league, unless the Swiss Football federation acted on Sion club.This gave a glimmer of hope to Manchester United , who would get into the group of 16 in the Champion league, at the expense of F.c.Basle.
But on 30/12/2011 The chairman of the Swiss Football federation deducted 36 points of Sion, as 12 games were played three points per match were deducted making 36 points.

SION CLUB DEDUCTED 36 POINTS.

Sion a Swiss football club was in the news for all the wrong reasons,.They let players play for the club who were not eligible to play for the club Sion in the first place.
F.I.F.A took action and told them that if nothing was done, Switzerland would suffer as they would be banned by F.i.F.A from all types of football. That means Euro cup, world cup, Champion league and Europa League as well.
That would mean that F.C. Basle would not be eligible to play Bayern Munich in this years Champion league, Bayern would get a walk over . And Manchester United could fill Basles place in the group of 16.
But now the Swiss board of football have deducted 36 points from Sion. But they have gone to court over the threats by F.I.F.A, calling it Blackmail, this has angered F.I.F.A.

CHELSEA TO BREAK THE BANK FOR THE HULK.

Chelsea are ready to break the bank, and also willing to pay a world record for a footballer, they are willing to pay the buy out clause for the Brazilian striker called Hulk, after the character from the movie The Incredible Hulk, as he resembles him.
The previous record is 80 million pounds which Real Madrid paid Manchester United , for Christiano Ronaldo.
Chelsea are willing to pay the buy out clause of Hulk, which is 100 million Euros , or 84 million pounds.
Hulk worked with Andrea Villas Boas at F.c. Porto, and Hulk scored goals then and even now he is scoring.
Thereason Chelsea are willing to spend is because Nicolas Anelka has joined a club in China, Drogba will be at The African Cup Of Nations, and will not be signing a new contract, the other striker Solomon Kalou is also moving on to France along with Florent Malouda, so this need as Fernando Torres has been out of form.

MESSI OR RONALDO, WHO IS BETTER?

The great debate is always on peoples mind, who is better Christiano Ronaldo of Real Madrid or Lionel Messi of Barcelona.Last year both ran head to head with goals and hat tricks as well, Ronaldo finally won the Golden Boot and also won the PICHINCHI award.
But Ronaldo has won only the Cop Del Rey ,Messi has five trophies incluiding the Champion League, La Liga and Club World cup, they beat Santos 4-0, with two goals by Lionel Messi.
Ronaldo has failed to score against big clubs, for example in 13 games verses Barcelona he has 3 goals, two goals in 9 games verses Liverpool, and one goal in fifteen games verses Chelsea.
Lionel Messi has scored 13 goals in 16 games verses Real Madrid, 6 goals in 4 games verses Arsenal, and two goals in four games verses Manchester united.
So this should close the debate in Lionel Meassis favor for now.

WILL HENRY'S MOVE TO ARSENAL BE POSITIVE ?

All our asking if the two month loan for the French striker , will be a positive move for Arsenal.
here we have experienced striker who played in France, England, Spain, Italy and the U.S.A. He is a world cup winner, Euro Cup winner, Champion League, E.P.L, F.A cup, Comunity shield, French Cup, French League, Champion League, Spanish La Liga, Spanish cup , Super Cup.Club World cup. So he will be a good move for Arsenal as both Ma roan Chamakh and Gervinho will be taking part in The African Cup Of Nations.
Arsenal will pay Henry 70,000 pounds a week as weekly salary, they will also pay the insurance for Henry.
All is required is the final sign and rubber stamp of the New York Red Bulls.
Let me remind you that david Beckham did the same thing when he played in the Los Angles Galaxy, in the break he played for A.C.Milan, in hope to play the 2010 world cup, but was injured. Galaxy won the M.L.S title this year.

SANDRO ROSSEL WANTS THE RULES CHANGED.

The president of Barcelona F.C. Has come forward and asked the U.E.F.A , the European football governing body to change the rules
The rule he wants to change is that clubs should not be allowed to pay any money to the players agents for doing a deal.
It works this way , when a player like in the Case of Christian o Ronaldo who was sold from Manchester United to Real Madrid for 80 million pounds. Then Ronaldo got ten percent of the amount , his agent got ten percent and Manchester United kept only sixty percent only.
Sandro Rossell says for example if one goes to the hairdresser then the person pays only , not the club, same here why should clubs loose moneythis way for nothing.

MODRIC SAYS HE IS STAYING AT SPURS TILL THE END OF SEASON.

Luka Modric the Croatian play maker who plays his club football with Tottenham Hotspur in England, is wanted by both Chelsea and Manchester united.
But Modric has made it crystal clear that he will be staying with Spurs this season in an attempt to get them into the champion league next year. But he has also said that he may move on in the new season.
As he is a great player who along with Gareth Bale make the club really tick and provide the passes for the goals.
As Tottenham Hotspurs are not keen to loose him , they have offered him a new contract of a weekly salary of 100,000 pounds, Spurs like Arsenal have a very strict wage structure.So let us see if he will be tempted to move to greener pastures .

IN THE E.P.L. THE VALUE OF THE TWO TEAMS OF CLUBS.

1) Manchester City its first team are valued at 185.6 Million Pounds.

THERE ARE FEARS VIDIC WILL RETIRE.

There were big fears at Manchester United that their Serb defender could be forced into early retirement due to the serious knee injury he picked up in the champion league game verses Basle.
He will be going for a serious knee operation soon, and at the age of 30 years , it was feared his injury was to great and it would force him to retire.
But a great deal will depend on the success of the operation. He will be out for nearly a year.
But his agent has strongly denied that the injury will force him to retire, he will be back after a year or even earlier, but the question is will he be the same Vidic before the operation.
Players have never been the same after a big operation, like Michael Owen and Fernando Torres.

MANCHESTER UNITED COULD LOOSE BERBATOV.

Manchester United have just three days in which to renew the contract of the Bulgarian striker Dimitrov Berbatov, who joined Manchester United from Tottenham Hotspurs for a huge 30.75 million pounds. Even though he won the golden boot last year with Carlos Tevez, he has now fallen down the order, with Danny Welbech returning from loan and Javier Hernandez along with Rooney . The 30 year old striker will not get a starting place or even the bench. He watched a champion league match on the television .
And as his contract expires in the summer Manchester can either renew the contract now or sell him to make a little money , they will not get the 30.75 million spent for him.
His old club Bayern Leverkusen are keen to get him.

LUIS SUAREZ GETS A ONE MATCH .BAN.

Luis Suarez the Uruguayan striker who plays his club football with Liverpool in England.Has been banned by the F.A. with a one game ban and is also fined a total of 20,000 pounds.
The fine and ban was given to Luis Suarez has in the match between Liverpool and Fulham played at Craven cottage, the home fans taunted him as a cheat, for his diving, as the match got heated and the Liverpool player Spearing got a red card.
As Liverpool lost the game 1-0, Luis Suarez showed his finger to the Fulham fans.
Kenny Dalgalish shamelessly supported Luis Suarez, saying he never saw it , but The SUN had that picture in the front page.
Liverpool were also fined 20,000 pounds for failing to control their players behavior.
So Luis Suarez will miss the match with Newcastle United.Andy Carroll will start against his old club.

FLORENT MOLOUDA WANTS TO LEAVE CHELSEA.

The french winger Florent Malouda who is 31 years old and is not getting a starting place at Chelsea, this season he has started only in four games for Chelsea.
Originally Chelsea wanted to sell him to the-rich Russian club Anzhi Machakalla for a price of six million pounds.
But Florent Malouda does not want to go there, as he says he has not even heard of the club, or for the matter can not even pronounce the clubs name.
He says he would prefer to go back home to France and play for P.S.G.The main reason he is so eager to move in January is to put a impression on the French coach Laurent Blanc , to be selected for the Euro 2012.
I doubt he will get a place after the revolt in the 2010 world cup by French players.

MANCINI MAY THROW MONEY AGAIN.

Roberto Mancini may throw some money again to buy players like Edison Cavani , Robin Van persie and others.
But this time he has been told that he will have to sell players first to generate funds, as the 195 million loss record was to great, and with the fair play rule coming soon.
Robin Van Persie is playing in the champion league , and city have failed to qualify.So he may refuse.
In the E.P.L City are equal with Manchester United on points, only they are ahead on goals.
Manchester City are now feeling the pressure and Manchester United could lead them by the 1/1/2012.

BLACKBURN ROVERS DEBT INCREASES.

The Venkey who own Blackburn Rovers , have had a loss of 18 .6 million pounds for the year.Even after selling a player for 16.5 million pounds.And the over all loss has also risen to 26 .3 million pounds.

KAKA OFFERED TO CHELSEA.

Kaka the Brazilian play maker, who was a big hit in Italy with A.C. Milan, but now who plays with the Spanish giants Real Madrid. But sadly he can not find a starting place in the team , frequent injuries also hampered his selection in the first team.
He joined Real Madrid from A.C. Milan for a huge sum of 55 million pounds.
But now Jose Mourinho the Real Madrid coach has said he has no long time plans for Kaka at the club, so he has come forward to offer Kaka at a reduces rate to Chelsea , the price is 22 million pounds. But if Chelsea do not want him both P.S.G want him, his old A.C. Milan coach Carlo Anchelotti will have him happily. Even A.C. Milan will be happy to have a talented sober player at the club.

INTER TO SELL WESLEY SNEIJDER.

It is reported in the DAILY MAIL that Inter Milan are willing to to sell their Dutch midfielder Wesley Sneijder , who is 27 years old.
The reason is to generate funds to rebuild a new Inter Milan team.
But as he is a costly player to buy.Manchester United were keen to buy him in the summer , but Wesley Sneijder wanted a weekly salary of 200,000 pounds, his reason is that E.P.L footballers in England have to pay 50 percent of their earnings as tax.
Sir Alex Ferguson was crying out to get him as a perfect replacement for Paul Scholes who retired last year.
But the debt of Glazers at Manchester United as well as the heavy interest the Glazers pay on their loans taken to buy Manchester United could very well tie Ferguson's hands.

MOURINHO SAYS HE WANTS TO RETURN TO E.P.L.

Jose Mourinho says he wants to come back to England , for a longer spell after two years time.
But one thing is very clear he joins clubs that have a lot of money, and who are willing to spend it.He will never join a small club.
His main clubs were Chelsea, F.c. Porto, Inter Milan and Real Madrid.
He refers to himself as SPECIAL ONE, the best coach, and what not.
Instead of blowing his own trumpet it would be nice of him to concentrate at the job at Real Madrid, and try to beat Barcelona .Which he has failed to do.
Instead of buying costly players he should develop players in their academy.
He may take over Manchester United when Ferguson retires, but will he take up Q.P.R.Not likely , he wil only choose a club in the top four to manage.

THE WORST PENALTY TAKERS .

This may come as a surprise to many.Liverpool beat Manchester United as the worst penalty takers.
CLUB. Year. Percentage. Missed.
1) Liverpool. 2011-2012. 80%. 5 Taken 4 Missed.
2) Manchester United. 2003-2004. 75% 4 taken 3 Missed.
3)Aston Villa. 2003-2004. 75 %. 4 Taken 3. Missed.
Bolton Wanderers . 2003-2004. 75 % 4 Taken 3 Missed.

LIONEL MESSI AND HIS EL CLASSICOS.

Lionel Messi , the Argentinean born footballer ,but who plays for the Catalan football club Barcelona, has sacks of tricks and has the world glued to their sets during a football match.He just razzles and dazzles the crowds where ever he plays , whether in Barcelona, Madrid, or Old Trafford.In the champion league he out played Manchester United, Atthe Bernebeu .He is the darling of the crow2ds.
In the 16 El Classicos he has played so far he has scored 13 goals and has also assisted in creating eight goals
It will not surprise anybody if he wins ome more F.I.F.A football of the year again.

THIS IS WHAT THE TWO MANCHESTER CLUBS HAVE SPENT.

This is what the two clubs have spent . Since 2008 when the Sheikh Mansoor bought Manchester City in 2008. City have spent a huge , huge sum of 400 million pounds, while at the same time Manchester United have spent only 26 million pounds.
Manchester City buy footballers at inflated prices, and also pay very huge weekly salaries.
But when they do want to sell a player they are finding it very hard to find a buyer.As the clubs can not afford these huge weekly salaries paid by Manchester City.
They are still trying to sell Emmanuel Adeboyor and Carlos Tevez , since last year.
They sell players at a loss as well.

CHELSEA TOO SPEND 150 MILLION POUNDS.

The Chelsea owner Roman Abramohvic is willing to spend 150 million pounds to buy new players as Alex, Didier Drogba, Niclas Anelka will be leaving Chelsea . And a rebuilding will be there starting in January.
The coach of Chelsea Andrea Villas Boas is willing to spend 50 million pounds on the Uruguayan striker Edison Cavani and Marek Hamsik, both of these talented stars play in Italy with the club Napoli.

NASRI AND HLEP STORY ARE SIMILAR.

Alexander Hlep the footballer came to Arsenal from the German club Stuttgart, he was a talented and bright footballer, with quick feet.He became a star at Arsenal.,
But greed for fame and money he joined F.c. Barcelona. But failed to hold a regular place at Barcelona.
Even though he became captain of his country Belarus . But he went on loan from Barcelona , and will go again on loan
The French footballer Samir Nasri joined Arsenal , as a replacement for Robert Pires, from the French club Olympic Marseilles . He was not selected by the french Team for the 2010 world cup. But it was at Arsenal , he did very well and joined the French team. But here greed got the better of him, he joined Manchester City for the money only.
But now he sits on the bench and warms the seats , or plays a few games as a substitute.At Arsenal he always started in the matches.
Story of two greedy players , careers gone all wrong.

CARLO ANCHELOTTI TO TAKE OVER P.S.G.

The former A.C.Milan and Chelsea coach Carlo Anchelotti , according to TALK SPORT. has decided to take the job as the Manager the of the French football club, now owned by the rich Qatari family.
And the present coach of P.S.G. is bound to leave soon.
The Italian has signed a two and a half year contract with P.S.G.
This comes as a blow to Tottenham Hotspurs . As they wanted to get the Italian to fill the place left by Harry Redknapp, who could take the job of the English team.
But now it does not look likely as Harry Redknapp has case he has to face in January , concerning money taken from the club he managed before .
It was the relegated club Portsmouth. And Harry Redknapp is not keen for the job after his heart problems.

But now there is a twist to the story as Juventus have come forward to buy him. The Italian giants Juventus, also called THE OLD LADY OF TURIN, have come forward and have put a starting bid for Gonzalo Higuain at 24 million pounds.The bidding could go higher as Fernando Torres is out of form.

LUIS SUAREZ GETS A EIGHT MATCH BAN.

The Uruguayan striker Luis Suarez , who plays his club football in England with Liverpool, has been handed a eight match ban. He is also fined 40,000 pounds.
The English F.A has banned him for eight matches, after the French defender Patrice Evra complained that Luis Suarez had said things to Patrice Evra about the French mans colour of the skin.The F.I.F.A rules are strict on this matter.
Even though Sepp Blatter claimed that racial abuse is no longer in football.
The Liverpool coach Kenny Dalgalish and the fans may support Luis Suarez , as he is already a legend at Liverpool. But he must be punished.
He has clearly broken the rules, otherwise the F.A would not give a eight match ban, and fine 40,000 pounds, it would be less.
He also faces another charge of showing his finger to the Fulham fans after Liverpool lost that match.
Luis Suarez always gave trouble, at Ajax he bit a player, in the 2010 world cup he used his hand to knock out Ghana.

A.C.MILAN ARE ALSO THE INVINCIBLE S.

Arsenal are not the only invincible team in the year 2003-2004. The Italian giants are also The Invincible s in the year 1991-1992.

They played a totals of 34 games. they won 22 games. They drew 12 games and they scored a total of 74 goals.

CITY NOW WANT ROBIN VAN PERSIE.

I fail to understand Roberto Mancini and Manchester City. If any player does well at any club Manchester City want them.They are willing to pay through their noses also.
Now they want the Dutch striker at Arsenal , Robin Van Persie and are willing to pay 30 million for him, they are also willing to pay a weekly salary of 200,000 pounds a week, this will total to 41 million pounds.
And with U.E.F.A Fair Play Rule coming in 2012 , and with a record loss for a English club last year of 194.9 million pounds .Mancini should tighten his belt where the spending is concerned.
There is no guarantee Robin Van Persie will score over 30 goals next year.Take the case of Dimitrov Berbatov and Carlos TEVEZ.

WENGER NEARLY BOUGHT YAYA TOURE AT 15 YEARS.

Arsene Wenger the French coach of Arsenal , is well known for locating real young talent. So it was with Yaya Toure the younger brother of Kolo Toure, who was already at Arsenal then.
Wenger called him over to Arsenal for a trial at 15 years , and then he was a average player, the reason being he was a confused player he wanted to play as a second striker, a midfielder and also a defender,so Yaya Toure did not do any justice to his football then.
But at the age of 15 years he could not get a European passport , or at 15 England will not give you a work permit.
Yaya Toure then joined a club in the Ukraine , Barcelona then picked him up , and then sold him to Manchester City.
By the way Ardene Wenger could not buy Petr Cech the Czech Republic goalkeeper , as he to could not get a work permit.

DAVID TREZEGUET TO JOIN RIVER PLATE.

David Trezeguet the French striker , who made history by winning the 1998 world cup with France and the Euro 2000 as well.

LIVERPOOL PAY INSURANCE THROUGH AON.

It was reported that the Liverpool football club , took a insurance policy through the Insurance company A.O.N.
The company sponsors the Manchester United club. You can see the letters A.O.N on the jerseys of the Red Devils.
But now the Liverpool fans are going to be really angry when the truth really sinks in at An field Liverpool.That it is Liverpool who are paying yearly to A.O.N.And the insurance company is paying Manchester United yearly money, with Liverpool millions paid.
As if there are no other Insurance Company in the world.

ROBINHO COULD JOIN CHELSEA.

The Brazilian striker Robinho who played for Santos, Real Madrid and is now with A.C. Milan. But now if A.C. Milan go ahead and buy Carlos Tevez, then A.C. Milan will be crossing their quanta of foreign footballers allowed at the club.According to U.E.F.A rules.
Now Chelsea are in a need of a striker as Niclas Anelka has decided to join a club in China.And now Drogba will move to a club as well as his contract is expiring and a settlement seems further then ever. And add to this Fernando Torres is out of form.

DROGBA TO MOVE TO CHINA.

Didier Drogba the fotballer from The Ivory Coast, who plays his club football in England with Chelsea, is now on his way as well like Anelka to China.
Drogba wanted to extend his contract at Chelsea for a period of two years.But Chelsea were only willing to extend the contract by one year.
At Chelsea Drogba was getting a weekly salary of 125,000 pounds a week. But the Chinese club called Dublin Aerbin, are willing to give him a two year contract.And they are also willing to give Drogba a better weekly salary of 200,000 pounds. That makes it a neat 20 million pounds in all, but at Chelsea he would have made 6 million pounds only.

ANDREA VILLAS BOAS REJECTS FERNANDO TORRES SALE.

Andrea Villas Boas has strongly rejected the sale of Fernando Torres, he said angrily that Torres is not for sale at any price in January.
Andrea Villas Boas knows even though Fernando Torres has only scored three goals.He will need him badly as Nicolas Anelka will be joining a Chinese football club in the January transfer market.And the other striker Didier Drogba will be going to play in the African cup of Nations in January. So Only Daniel Stu ridge will be there with a inexperienced Belgian striker .Romelu Lakuku

LUIS SAHA HAS PLAYED THE LONGEST IN ENGLAND.

The French striker Luis Saha who ow plays his club football in England , is the longest French player in the E.P.L.
He came from the French club Mets on loan in the year 1999, he joined Newcastle United on loan, from there he joined Fulham, Sir Alex Ferguson then bought him for 12 million pounds.But sadly he suffered a knee injury and was sidelined at the club.
He was then sold to Everton and he is still playing there.
He is in the E.P.L from 1999 eleven years in it, not even Henry has played so many years in England.

ENGLISH FOOTBALLERS ARE DRYING UP.

There are alarming signs of young English footballers all drying up.
For example in the last weeks E.P.L matches a total of 220 players took part.Of which only 38 percent were English born players eligible to play for England.
While in Spain it was a very different story , they had 60 percent Spanish born players playing.
While in Germany the number was 53 percent German players.
Now in the next five years there will be only 20 percent available to play for England.Causing a head ache for the English coach, winning a trophy will be a distant dream only.
For example from the 20 clubs in this years E.P.L. Joe Hart and Paul Robinson are the only English goalkeepers, Robinson has retired.So if Joe Hart gets a red card or is injured, then Fabio Capell will be in a panic.

ANDY CARROLL GETS A HUGE BONUS.

Andy Carroll will get a huge loyalty bonus of a windfall of 150,000 pounds. This is even as he has played 13 times for Liverpool. And he has also scored only 4 goals.
He has been a failure at Liverpool , considering that Liverpool had paid Newcastle United 35 million pounds. It was a record for English football then. It broke the previous record for the costliest footballer in England. Manchester City had paid Real Madrid 32 million pounds for the Brazilian striker Robinho.
This record of 35 million pounds was broken later that same day as Chelsea paid :Liverpool 50 million pounds for their Spanish striker Fernando Torres.
Now Andy Carroll will get a yearly bonus of 150,000 pounds according to his contract.

FERGUSON MUST BUY A MIDFIELDER.

It is clear Sir Alex Ferguson will have to buy a midfielder of class as Paul Scholes has retired and Darren Fletcher is out for a long while as he suffers from colitis problem. Only Nani and Young are there with Ryan Giggs getting old he is 38 years old now.
But one thing is clear players of the class of Bryan Robson and Paul Scholes are born and can not be made by training.Natural gifted midfielders. Now with the Fair Play rule coming into place Ferguson can not spend a lot .
But sadly all the the ones he wishes to buy are in the 30 to 45 million pound bracket.
That also means the weekly salary of the player will be roughly 170,000 pounds

FERNANDO TORRES TO BE SOLD FOR 20 MILLION POUNDS.

The DAILY MAIL says that Chelsea are willing to sell the Spanish striker Fernando Torres for a total of 20 million pounds, even as he was brought from Liverpool on the last day of the summer sale, which are always costly.Desperate buying is done by clubs.
Even Andy Carroll did cost Liverpool 35 million pounds.Chelsea are willing to take a loss of 30 million pounds.As Torres has scored only three goals since he joined Chelsea from Liverpool.And gets a weekly salary of 150,000 pounds, Chelsea want to save that money.
Chelsea even brought the Spaniard from Valencia Juan Mata , hoping to get his confidence back, it did not work.But I bet Liverpool fans are chuckling the most now.
But let me remind them one thing, form of a player may dip but the class is permanent.

THE 85 MILLION POUND FLOPS.

These two players were brought at a record price in England. The Spanish striker Fernando Torres joined Chelsea from Liverpool for a English record of 50 million pounds.And Andy Carroll joined Liverpool from Newcastle United for a then English record of 35million pounds.
The 35 million pound record broke the 32 million pound record set for the Brazilian striker Robinho.
But sadly all three strikers were flops.
Here we can even add the Bulgarian striker Dimitrov Berbatov who joined Manchester United from Tottenham Hotspurs for 30.75 million pounds.
Yes last year was a good year for him he scored 20 goals and won the Golden Boot along with Carlos Tevez.

REFREE MARK CLATENBURG IS A IDIOT.

Re free Mark Clatenburg is a absolute blind idiot. In the match between Chelsea and Manchester City , it was a very big match. But the Manchester City midfielder from the Ivory Coast was seen by the referee to kick Juan Mata from Chelsea on the legs.Now kicking a player or using the arm in hitting is a red card offense. We have the two cases of Wayne Rooney who kicked a player from Montenegro in the leg in the Euro qualifiers. He got a straight red card , and was to miss three Euro matches but it was reduced to two matches . As U.E.F.A had in 2008 4reduced the three matches to two for the Russian Andrei Arshavin.So as Mark Clatenburg admits he did see Yaya Toure kicking Mata but failed to even show a yellow card, shame on the English F.A.for not knowing the rules of football.It now clearly seen that Manchester City is paying the F.A. to win their titles.
You can see it in THE TELEGRAPH clearly.
Let me remind readers that Alexander Song of Arsenal got a three match ban for kicking by the F.A , will they play fair now?

THE EL CLASICCO.

This EL CLASICCO between Real Madrid and Barcelona was played on 10/12.2012.At the Bernebau . 85,000 fans watched the match on a cold and wet day.The first goal was scored by Real Madrid due to a mistake by the Barcelona goalkeeper Victor Valdez , who made a kick to Angel Di Maria who passed it to Benzema who scored the goal in 23 seconds , the fastest goal ever in a EL CLASICCO. But Valdez recovered and had a good game. Barcelona then played their passing and keeping of the ball , this frustrated the Real players as well as their fans. Lionel Messi passed a good ball to Alexis Sanchez to score Barcelona first goal in the 28th minute. The second goal was defected from a kick by Xavi Hernandez ,who was playing his 600th game for Barcelona from the leg of Marcelo leaving Casillas wrong footed. Ronoldo missed two easy chances and later on a header that went wild. Barcelona third goal came this way,Lionel Messi passed the ball to Danny Alves centered the ball from the corner for Cesc Fabregas to head a diving goal.The match ended 3-1.But Mourinho says Barcelona were lucky. But so was Real Madrid with their only goal.

STOKE CITY ARE USING TOWELS.

In the match between Stoke City and Tottenham Hotspurs, both the goals came from throws by their defender Ryan Sotten. And both throws were very long and good throws, leading to both the goals scored by Stoke City.
But was noticed by the press was that Ryan had a towel sewn to the jersey, to help dry the ball well.
But this is illegal according to F.I.F.A rules, as they get a very unfair advantage to the thrower.
The F.A must act fast and ban Ryan Sotten and Tony Pulis for cheating. .As clearly Spurs were stolen of a win. The match ended 2-1 in Stoke Citys favor.

CELTIC ARE FINED 12,700POUNDS.

The Scottish giants Celtic have been fined 12,7000 pounds . The reason was the club failed to control their fans , in a Europa League match verses the French club Renees. Which was played on 3/11/2011.
The fans were chanting on the French players, strictly against U.E.F.A rules.
At the same time the other Scottish giants Glasgow Rangers were found not guilty for failing to control their fans.In their match.
The chants were I.R.A. CHANTS.
Celtic have now said that they will not appeal.

CITY PLAYERS SHOULD NOT BOAST.

Manchester City players Yaya Toure,Gael Glichy and Joleon Lescot ,have nothing to boast about.Even though they qualified for the Champion league, they could not reach the group of 16 with all their stars help.And spending 900 million pounds, that is almost a billion pounds .No other club spent so much.
Arsenal reached the group of 16 with a game to spare, and one time they were 17th in the table.
:Let me remind you in the mid nineties a club in the E.P.L called Ipswich was promoted and they reached the champion league that very year. But where are they now, which tier we must ask.
If City can be in the Champion League for 15 years and reach at least the quarter finals a few times we can agree then with what they boast about.

BROTHERS OF FAMOUS FOOTBALLERS TO FAIL.

This is a list of brothers of footballers who failed to shine like the brothers.
1)John Rooney . He played for Everton, Maccelfield and Leyton Orient.
2)Paul Terry. He played for Thurrock, Yeovel and Leyton Orient.
3) Joel Cantona. He played for Peterborogh and Stockpot.
4)Rhodri Giggs.Tor quay United.
5)Carl Hoddlle. He played for Leton Orient.And Bernett.
6) Hugo Maradona. He played in Argentina, Spain, Italy and Japan.

MORINHO WANTS FRANK LAMPARD.

Jose Mourinho the Real Madrid coach, who likes to be called THE SPECIAL ONE, is now licking his wounds after Real Madrid lost the El Classico to Barcelona again
So Mourinho wants to get the English midfielder Frank Lampard from Chelsea.
Frank Lampard has scored 177 goals for Chelsea, which is very good usually only strikers score so many goals.
As he is 33 years old now he is finding it hard to get a starting place at Chelsea.
Morinho is willing to give a player as well, called Esteban Genaro.Who is valued at six million pounds and both Arsenal and Liverpool are keen to get him in the January transfer window.

ANELKA TO JOIN A CHINESE CLUB.

The French striker Nickolas Anelka , has come to terms with a Chinese club called Shanghai Shenhua. He has yet to sign the contract for two years.
The much traveled French striker played in France , England and Spain.But now as he is 32 years old and in his twilight years of his career.
He is believed to get a huge weekly salary of 175, 000 pounds a week.Not at all a bad weekly salary for a communist country and club as well.
But the big question is going to be asked by all is , will he like to stay for two years in China, after all these years of playing in Europe.

HOW THE INVINCIBLES HAVE FALLEN?

Yaya Toure and his big boasts that Manchester City are invincible s was a joke. The truth has dawned on him at last , with a Europa League trophy to play for.
With a club spending 90 million pounds on the cream of the best footballers in the world, mind you it is almost a Billion Pounds, no club has spent so much in three years.
It will take him a while to get up from this dream , top in the E.P.L. but failing to reach the champion league group of 16.
Arsenal qualified with a game to spare.
Welcome Manchester City to Thursday night matches, in the Europa League, do not be sure you will win it easily as you think.
For me the reason for the loss was Ego both Roberto Mancinis and carlos Tevez. There is no father and son relation at Manchester City , like it is with Arsenal and Arsene Wenger.
Only money matters here, ask Samir Nasri , Gael Glichy this.

SERIE A MATCH ISCANCELLED BECAUSE OFFOG.

In Italy the Serie A match which was to be played between Parma and Palermo was canceled as a thick fog settled over the stadium.
So the match ended 0-0 . To the dismay of the audience.

ALL THAT GLITTERS IS NOT GOLD.

This is a funny blog on BOOTS.
No player wearing golden boots has scored a goal in the E.P.L.
Those wearing white boots scored the most goals.
1)Robin Van Persie 12 of his 13 goals came in wearing white boots.
2)Edin Dezko scored 10 goals in white boots.
3) Mario Bolotelli scored 7 goals in white boots.
4) Yakubu and Daniel Stud ridge both scored 6 goals.
Players wearing red boots got booked the most times.There were 12 yellow cards and one red card.
Players wearing green boots have not been booked.

MARIO GOTZE WILL COST 30 MILLION POUNDS.

The German club Borusia Dortmund have finally said that their star footballer and genius of a midfielder Mario Gotze is for sale , but he will cost 30 million pounds.
The German club say every player has a price on his head , so is it with Mario Gotze.
A player who is believed to be even better then the other German footballer of Turkish decent Mezhut Ozil.
Both Arsenal are very keen to buy him. As Arsene Wenger has said he wants a brilliant and outstanding footballer at the club , someone of the Cesc Fabregas class.
The other reason is to buy him is Robin Van Persie has said that he will only sign a new contract if Arsene Wenger does bring in any big footballers into Arsenal soon.
But the big question is will Arsene Wenger be willing to break the bank on Mario Gotze with 30 million pounds, as the highest ever paid for a Arsenal player is 15 million pounds for Andrei Arshavin.

THIS IS WHY CHELSEA HAD TROUBLE.

When Chelsea chose Andrea villas Boas a 34 year old as coach there was going to be some trouble as some players were older to him and did not see his training methods eye to eye with theirs.
It all started in truth with Chelsea loosing their Champion league game verses Bayern Leverkusen, and their two games verses Liverpool, one a E.P.L game and a Carling Cup.
According to the SUN the Chelsea coach picked on senior players and tore them to shreds and then the next one faced the same music.
Those picked were Nicklas Anelka and Alex, both have asked for a transfer in january.
The next in line is Flo rent Malouda and Frank Lampard,. Frank Lampard is also 33 years
Things got bad then Andrea Villas Boas had a meeting with the big fourJohn Terry, Frank Lampard, Didier Drogba and Petr Cech , followed by a dinner meeting as well later.
Now Chelsea have come back to winning ways, and beside Arsenal is the only English club to qualify for the group of 16 clubs, this year.

WAYNE ROONEY GETS ONLY A TWO EURO MATCH BAN.

Wayne Rooney the striker from England, who is a hot headed person.
In a Euro cup qualifying match verses Montenegro . He was guilty of kicking a player from Montenegro, leading to a straight red card.
There was fears in England that he would be banned for the first three matches of the 2012 EURO CUP.So he would miss matches with France, Sweden and the Ukraine.
But he appealed the case to the F.A. And said that the Russian captain Andrei Arshavin also kicked a player in the 2008 EURO qualifier , and hada three match ban reduced to two matches.And Arshavin was a star of the 2008 Euro Cup.
So Rooney pleaded he should get only two match ban and not three, so he will miss the games verses France and Sweden but will be there for the match with Ukraine.

NEYMAR WINS THE FOOTBALLER IN BRAZIL.

The 19 year old striker from Brazil, who plays his club football with Santos, has won the title of Brazilian footballer of the Brazilian league, he had scored 13 goals, but he was used sparingly.
As he was needed for the Liberators cup.
So Neymar won the title this year.

MANCHESTER UNITED ARE KNOCKED OUT OF THE CHAMPION LEAGUE.

So Manchester United are knocked out of the champion league, failing to beat the minnows F.C. Basel. This is the only the third time they have failed to reach the group of 16.
What I would like to say here is that when Manchester United defeated Arsenal earlier this year in the E.p.L. The Manchester player Patrice boated , that in that match Arsenal were boys. His ego is to much .
Arsenal have qualified for the champion league group of 16 with a match to spare.
Manchester United buy players at 18 million pounds . While the highest amount paid by Arsenal ever is 15 million pounds for Andrei Arshavin.
So I will not be surprised if Arsenal qualify next year for the champion league as well.They were 17th in the E.p.L, now they are fifth.

MANCHESTER CITY ARE KNOCKED OUT OF THE CHAMPION LEAGUE.

Manchester City are knocked out of the 2011-12 Champion league. Even after winning their last match verses Bayern Munich with a score of 2-0.
But as Napoli defeated the Spanish club Villarreal , called the Yellow submarines , due to the colour of their yellow jerseys and shorts.
Even though Manchester City collected a total of 10 points,they failed to qualify for the group of 16.Usually 10 points make you get through.Napoli and Bayern Munich got more points.
So the truth is Roberto Mancini even after spending 90 million pounds on the club ,which is almost a Billion pounds , and very huge amount.They will have to play in THE EUROPA LEAGUE.

CHAMPION LEAGUE HAT TRICK.

In the champion league match between Lyon and Dina mo Zagreb , the french club, Lyon had to win their match with huge margin of 7 goals if they were to qualify at all to reach the group of 16.
And they did it in style with Befetimbi Gomiz of Lyon scoring four goals in the match. The goals came in the 45th, 48,th 52nd and 70th minute. This is the fastest hat trick scored in a champion league.

REAL MADRID WIN ALL SIX MATCHES.

The Spanish giants Real Madrid have won all their six matches in their group stages . In tthis years champion league qualifiers . They now become the filth club in Champion League history to sail through the group stages without a defeat.

GOAL LINE TECHNOLOGY IN 2012-2013.

Sepp Blatter the president of F.i.F.A has announced that goal line technology will be available for the matches in the year 2012 -2013. They have tested the Hawk eye mase in England and Cairoes . Hawk eye is made in England and Cairoes is made in Germany. Both are quick .
But it is not sure whether it will be ready for the 2012 Euro Cup. But it will definitely be there in the 2014 World cup at Brazil.

THE BABIES FROM THE BARCELONA TEAM HAVE ARRIVED.

The very young footballers from Barcelona youth academy THE LA MASSIA. Were given a chance in the champion league match verses the Belarus champions Bate Borisov .
They were all youngsters with no experience in the big level. Only Pedro has had experience. They beat the club from Belarus 4-0. Even after reaching the last 16 stage.
Things look very, very good for Barcelona in the future, with this fresh crop of players.
For this Champion league game the top Barcelona players were rested as THE EL CLASSICO is played between Barcelona and Real Madrid on 10/12/2011.

CHAPMAN< ADAMS AND HENRY TO BE HONOURED.

2) Tony Adams. Their captain who won five titles.
3) Thierry Henry. Arsenals top goal scorer with 226 goals for Arsenal.

ANDREA VILLAS BOAS CAN BREATH EASILY NOW.

Andrea Vills Boas can now breath easily , as Guus Hiddink the famous Dutch coach who was most likely to take over at Chelsea . But Andrea Villas boas even threatened to walk out of Chelsea , if he joined the club at any post.To make matters worse Guus Hiddink was sacked as the coach of Turkey, as Turkey failed to qualify for the Euro 2012. And as he was free he was always a threat to take over at Chelsea.
But now Guus Hiddink will take over a Russian club owned by a oil billioaire, the owner is Suleiman Kemirov .The club is called Anzhi Machakhala . The acting coach is the Brazilian world cup winner of 2002 Roberto Carlos.Hiddink will tale over after Christmas, Guus

And the highest they reached was the 2006 final, where they lost to Barcelona with a 2-1 score.
Wenger has won in Milan, Madrid, Dortmund , Munich and on every ground but Barcelona.
Only Alex Ferguson has more matches .

CITY ARE TOLD HULK WOULD COST 88 MILLION .

The Porto striker Hulk, called after the movie The Incredible Hulk, as he has a similar face. It is clear Manchester City will sell Carlos Tevez in the January transfer window to A.C. Milan. And they want Hulk to replace him.
But F.C. Porto rejected a few clubs in the summer such as Chelsea, Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur . But Mr Fonseca Hulks agent has made it clear 40 million pound was to low.
But Fonseca has said that Manchester City can have him for a new world record sale of 88 million pounds. This will break the previous record for a footballers transfer of 80 million pounds , paid to Manchester United , by Real Madrid for Christiano Ronaldo.

CHELSEA PLAN A CLEAR OUT.

Chelsea have decided a clear out of players who are either old or failed to live up to standards expected of them.So Drogba, Jose Bosingwa, Paulo Fereira , Solomon kalou.
while Alex and Niklas Anelka have their transfer accepted by the club.
It was reported that Arsene Wenger was keen to get Solomon Kalou , to help in the scoring of goals and reducing the pressure on Robin Van Persie. As both Maroune Chamakh and Park Young have failed to impress.
But the risk will be there as if Kalou joins Arsenal , he will miss five weeks of the E.P.L. as he will take part in the African cup of Nations.

CHELSEA COULD GIVE LAMPARD TO GET LUKA MODRIC.

Chelsea had made three bids for Luka Modric in the summer. And the Tottenham Hotspur manager Harry Redknapp said Luka Modric was not for sale at any price.
But with getting either Dider drogba, Frank Lampard or Nickolas Anelka , things could be tempting for Redknapp..

MICHEL PLATINI WANTS THE WORLD CUP IN WINTER.

Michel Platini the president of U.E.F.A has said that he wants the 2022 world cup in Qatar to be held in the winter. But as the world cup is held each time in the month of June and July. It has now dawned on this stupid clown that Qatar will be to hot in June and July. And European footballers could not be expected to play at 50 degrees heat.I am sure F.i.F.A new this , is hot in June for years.
But F.I.F.A was so corrupt . they were counting money, and lost their senses . Platini said he did indeed vote for Qatar, to hold the 2022 world cup. He has forgotten the Champion League cup is held in the winter and the F.A. cup
How does F.i.F.A expect to change things for their own liking.
And at a world cup clubs send scouts for buying stars, there will be many injured due to to much football
Choosing Qatar was without any thinking, it should have been Australia2022.

Sir Alex Ferguson always leaves the decision to the player at the end of the season.
