WHY IS MANCHESTER UNITED IN SUCH A MESS THIS SEASON?

 Manchester United are in a real mess no mistake about it. But why is it so.
1) Their defense  is far to old and rusty, Patrice Evra, Rio Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic  are all in their thirties , easily get beaten by youngsters  with their pace.
2) Goals win matches  and the last goal that came in open play was by Danny Welbeck in August 2013. All have come by the Wayne Rooney free kicks and Robin Van Persie penalties.
3) The Manchester United team are playing individually and not as a team.
4) David Moyes was told by Alex Ferguson TO PLEASE DO NOT CHANGE THE BACKROOM STAFF.. But David Moyes  got his own backroom staff, mind you that which were sacked won trophies in large number the Everton  staff won nothing.
5) Not choosing  Luis Nani in the starting but giving the diver Ashley young  and Danny welbeck instead  of Javier Hernandez a starting place.
6) David Moyes said publicly  that  Manchester will not win the champion league say it in the dressing room., so the players also lack him respect..
7) David Moyes has been doing to much tinkering with players.

MIKEL ARTETA SAYS IF HE WAS NOT A FOOTBALLER HE WOULD HAVE PLAYED TENNIS.

 The Spaniard Mikel Arteta who plays his club football with Arsenal , has said he was deep in thought at the young age of fifteen  whether to choose between Football and Tennis . And I think he has made the correct choice , and the footballing world are the happy winners here.
 He played early in France  with the P.S.G club , and guess who was his mentor there ? He was none other than Ronaldinho , but he humbly admits that he could not do half the tricks and kicks that Ronaldinho did..
 Later Ronaldinho  joined Barcelona and Mikel Arteta joined Everton.And then joined Arsenal.
 I am reminded of another famous footballer who faced the same problem, he is the Uruguayan  striker Diego Forlan, who in his early years wanted to play pro tennis.

BARCELONA AND ATLETICO MADRID BOTH HAVE YET TO LOOSE A GAME.

 In the Spanish League , these two clubs Barcelona and Atletico Madrid have yet to loose a game, these two clubs have now played seven games this season without loosing a single match.

ATLETICO MADRID DEFEAT REAL MADRID AFTER 14 LONG YEARS.

 The mighty Spanish giants Real Madrid  were defeated by joint Spanish leaders Atletico Madrid, and to make matters worse it was played in the Real Madrid backyard , the famous Santiago Bernabeu .
 The winning margin was a very narrow one it was 1-0 victory to Atletico Madrid, and the goal scorer was the young talented footballer Diego Costa.
 The last win was back in the year 1999 , when Real Madrid lost to Atletico Madrid., it took them 14 long years to break that jinx and a total of 23 games as well.
 Please note I am only talking of the La Liga games, but yes Atletico Madrid did win the Copa Del Rey last year over Real Madrid.

AARON RAMSEY BREAKS HIS OWN PERSONAL GOALSCORING RECORD.

 The Welshman Aaron Ramsey , who plays his club football with Arsenal in the E.P.L.
Has now scored a total of eight goals in a total of eight games  this season.
 In other words he has scored more goals this season then  in his entire career otherwise.
 The famous people were afraid when ever he scored goals before,and when he did score a famous person died the next day, plain coincidence .Those that died are Steve Jobs, Osama Bin Laden , Whitney Houston  and the Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi .

HOW MANY MANAGERS DID CHELSEA AND REAL MADRID HAVE FROM THE YEAR 1996?

 You must be wondering as Arsenal has had only one manager in Arsene Wenger from the year 1996 to the present year, with a talk of even extending his contract in the near future.
1) During this period Chelsea has had  13 managers.
 2) Real Madrid on the other hand ae famous for hiring and firing their managers to often. Real Madrid have had 34 managers since 1996.

ARSENAL AND EVERTON ARE INTERESTED IN SAIDO BERAHINO FROM WEST BROMWICH ALBION.

Both Arsenal and Everton are keen for the services of Saido Berahino  , who plays his club football in England with West Bromwich Albion . He escaped from war torn Burundi  and landed in England in the year 2004.
 But why are they so keen on him, he was the one who scored the winning goal against Manchester United.And he is also on a very small weekly fee that is 850 pounds a week., something unthinkable  in today's football world where  the weekly fee has shot up to inflated rates.
But as he is a muslim  it is to be seen will money play a big part in his next move, as he is at the end of his contract this summer.

THIS GOAL KEEPER HEADS A OWN GOAL.

 In the Dutch league in a match between J.C.Roda and Utrecht .

 The J.C Roda goalkeeper even saved a penalty , but he became a villain  when he sadly headed a own goal into the back of the net.
 This is one video he will not like to see again.
The name of the J.C.Roda goalkeeper was Filip Kurto.

ALEX FERGUSON HAD TOLD DAVID MOYES NOT TO MAKE ANY CHANGES IN THE BACKROOM STAFF.

 The former manager of Manchester United Sir Alex Ferguson, according TO THE SUN had strongly requested  David Moyes  whom Ferguson had  personally chosen as his successor, to please not totamper in making any changes in the Manchester United  Back room staff.
 But sadly David Moyes failed to listen to his fellow country man.
David Moyes did make changes  in the back room, ad one being the goalkeeping coach,Eric Steele, and instead  got his own staff at Manchester United , from his former club Everton.
 And we are seeing Manchester United struggle now. But we must always remember that Manchester United are slow starters  each year, and start climbing the ladder  around november.

ARSENAL DO NOT MISS THE GONZALO HIGUAIN SALE MISS, DO THEY!

 The Arsenal club were very much about to make the buy of the Argentinean striker Gonzalo Higuain , from Real Madrid, even Higuain's father Jorge who acts as his agent said so.
 But Real Madrid had other ideas  as they were short of money and needed money to buy Gareth Bale for 100 million Euros, they sold Gonzalo Higuain to Napoli, who had sold Napoli top striker  Edison Cavani for his buy out clause of 55 million pounds.
 But by the way Arsenal are playing and scoring goals , they have not at all missed out on the Gonzalo Higuain slip through their fingers.

FIVE MOST CONTROVERSIAL FOOTBALLERS IN THE E.P.L.

1)  Mario Balotelli. he is the most controversial of all the five and one from abroad to play in the E.P.L.
2)Luis Suarez  more of a dog biting players  where ever he played.
3)Eric Cantona  a footballer from France who made the biggest impact on the sleeping giants Manchester United.
4) Ashley Cole , whether with his two clubs or his marriage to singer Cheryl Cole it followed him.
5) Lee Boyer whether he was at Leeds or Newcastle or West ham he was in the news and had cases against him.

MANCHESTER CITY WANT ADNAN JANUZAJ. , WILL PAY THREE TIMES HIS SALARY.

 Manchester City want to buy the Belgian born 18 year old  from Manchester United .
 And as usual these Fools with Arab oil money  to spend  at will are willing to triple the lads weekly salary. In other words Manchester City  are willing to pay the young Belgian a weekly salary of 45,000 pounds, month you he has just arrived in the E.P.L scene , this is being a real lunatic. I ask what would be the weekly salary they will offer to a player say Wayne Rooney or Mesut Ozil.?
 But he is on his last year of his contract, so will his head spin.

DAVID MOYES HAS ALREADY GIVEN UP ON MANCHESTER UNITED REACHING ANYWHERE IN THE CHAMPION LEAGUE

 This is not at all correct on the part of the Manchester United manager.
He has already given up hope of Manchester United progressing anywhere in the Champion league.
But the contest has just started , and he should have waited for at least to see if Manchester United reach the group of sixteen clubs.. To surrender so tamely is being spineless, after all he is a manager with  a great deal of experience , in fact after Arsene Wenger , David Moyes is the next longest serving manager  in the E.P.L.
 He is lamenting that  to win anything Manchester United should have big six signings..
 But let me remind David Moyes Arsenal made only one big signing in Mesut Ozil, but they sod many players or released them..
 But one thing is clear Manchester United are doomed, if they surrender so tamely , before the battle even starts. Then do not expect to in the E.P.L even.
 Their biggest mistake not giving Luis Nani, Shinji Kagawa  and Wayne Roney to start each game . Ashley Young, and Danny Welbeck are useless,.

ERIC STEELE SAYS DAVID GEA WAS TO LAZY TO TRAIN AT MANCHESTER UNITED.

 Eric Steele the former goalkeeping coach  under Alex Ferguson . Has this to say about David De Gea , who joined  Manchester United from Atletico Madrid for 17.5 million pounds.
 Eric Steele says David De Gea was lazy   and wanted to sleep two to three times a day , he also ate a lot of Tacos.
 But at Manchester United  he was even given high protein energy drinks.
 And when he was told to come again after a break fr training , he would ask for what reason should he come again  to train.
 May be that was the main reason why   he made far to many blunders when he was between the goalposts..
 But now this year David Moyes has gone and got the former goal keeping trainer from Everton,, when he took over.
Eric Steele also said that he made the effort to learn Spanish, so he could comunicate, but David De Gea was not at all ken to learn English, even though he was going to stay in England, plain lazy you can say.

THE TWO YOUNGEST GOALSCORERS FOR ARSENAL EVER.

 The Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger  always has believed in developing young players and making them ito stars. And he sells them for a very huge profit later on.
 So young goal scorers for Arsenal will be many., this is the list of the two youngest goal scorers for Arsenal.
1) Cesc Fabregas  is the youngest player to score a goal for Arsenal , he was 17 years and 113  days old.
 2)Serge Gnabry  was 18 years and 76 days old. When he scored  his first goal.

THE PUPIL AND THE MENTOR ARE NOT ON TALKING TERMS.

 Andre Villas Boas the pupil and Jose Mourinho the mentor are not at all on talking terms these days.
 And we must remember that theirs was a very old relation it goes back to 2000 s when Jose Mourinho was manager at F.C.Porto.And they were together for three clubs as pupil and mentor.
The three clubs they both worked together were F.C. Porto, Chelsea and in Italy with Inter Milan , where they won the champion league.
 But both say they are not going to loose any sleep over the matter, as they played between each other on 28/9/2013. Mourinho with Chelsea and Andre Villas Boas with Tottenham Hotspurs, the match ended in a 1-1 draw.

A REPORT SAYS VALENCIA WANT TO BUY JUAN MATA BACK.

 An article in  THE DAILY MAIL. , has said that the Spanish club Valencia  are very keen to sign Juan Mata in the January transfer window..
 But here we must remember that Valencia are in a very bad state financially, they were at one time so brook they were not even playing the wages of the players.
 They were forced to sell  their very best players to generate funds., so to have money to buy a footballer of Juan Matas class is going to be beyond their purses.
 The Spanish club Valencia had to shelve their plans to build a new stadium, due to shortage of funds, it is now half complete, only on paper sadly.

ROBIN VAN PERSIE IS INJURED AGAIN.

 Robin Van Persie or the glass Dutch striker is injured again  , he has already missed two matches, especially the big loss to Manchester City.
 Now how many more games will he miss?
So Arsenal and Arsene Wenger were the smartest, they got 24 million pounds for him a thirty year old footballer then.
Now he will be injured more frequently as age also catches up with him, You can ask Arsenal how they missed him in those seven  years when he was always injured.

ARSENE WENGER COULD VERY WELL PEN A NEW DEAL AT ARSENAL.

 The Arsenal French manager Arsene Wenger has  gt all the backing from the clubs American owners Stan Kroenke , or silent Stan as he is called.
Arsene Wenger   was wanted by the French moneyed club P.S.G., who were having strong hopes of landing him , as their manager in the place of Laurent Blanc . That was early on  , say the first game loss to Aston Villa. But after that  they are only winning matches, mind you a lot of players were sold or released, and many injured as well..
 Arsene Wenger joined Arsenal in 1996, that means 17 years , the longest serving manager  after Alex Ferguson
Arsene Wenger has come out and said he wants to be at Arsenal forever . But I am not a imortal.
 But he will sign a new contract for sure, and yes lots of funds  are there to.

LIVERPOOL PLAN TO GIVE LUIS SUAREZ A NEW CONTRACT.

 The Liverpool club  are now planning of giving Luis Suarez a new four year contract.
 And at the same time the club is willing to make Luis Suarez  their highest ever paid player ever. They are now planning of giving him a new four year contract , with also a weekly salary of 160,000 pounds.
 But one thing Liverpool should understand , that Luis Suarez is a very good footballer , and is fit for a champion League club only .
 And not Liverpool a mid table club  in the E.P.L . He should join Arsenal or Real Madrid  only.
So the question is will Luis Suarez be s tupid enough to take this new contract.

FASTEST PLAYERS IN THE E.P.L.

WHY IS JAVIER HERNANDEZ CALLED THE LITTLE PEA.

 The Mexican striker Javier Hernandez , who plays his club football with Manchester United..
He is called the Little Pea , or in Spanish CHICHARITO  that means the little pea.
 But where did he get this name ? He gets it from his father Gutierrez  Hernandez  who had green eyes and was so called CHICHARITO.

WORKERS DIE IN BUILDING THE STADIUMS IN QATAR.

 It is reported in THE GUARDIAN  , that labourers from asian countries mainly  India, Nepal and Sri Lanka  have now flooded in  to Qatar,. But the Guardian has brought it to the knowledge of readers  that from the 4/6/2013 to 8/8/2013  a  total of 44  Nepalese workers died, building the stadium .
 And they died before a ball was even kicked .
 It clearly shows the Qatar was a wrong choice to hold the world cup in 2022. It is your guess how many will die  by 2022.
 How ever F.I.F.A are taking a very serious view about it , and will discuss it at their meeting in Zurich.

SANTI CAZORLA SAYS SPANISH FOOTBALL WAS ALWAYS A TWO HORSE RACE.

The Spanish footballer Santi Cazorla says that the Spanish football had become to monotonous , with both Real Madrid and Barcelona fighting for every silverware  there.
 And this lead to Spanish footballers leaving Spain.
The players like Michu, Reina, Robert Soldado, Nergado, Santi Cazorla, Mikel Arteta  , have made things better in England but things got bad in Spain due to the economical problems.

ARSENAL PAID TO MUCH FOR MESUT OZIL, BUT HE IS A BARGAIN COMPARED TO BALE.

 The former German Arsenal goalkeeper Jens Lehmann , says yes indeed Arsenal did over pay for the services of Mesut Ozil,  who did cost Arsenal 42.5 million pounds, but when you see the services and the way both these players  adjusted to the their two leagues Mesut Ozil at this price was a bargain compared to the 100 million pounds Real Madrid paid. And both are young.
 But Florentino Perez the president of Real Madrid  iis so stupid he says he got Gareth bale cheap.
 He should get one point clear Bale will never sell as many jerseys as Cristiano Ronaldo sold.
 In fact Real Madrid made up the 80 million pounds from the selling of Ronaldo jerseys.

LUIS SUAREZ IS WALKING ON ICE , HIS LAST CHANCE AT LIVERPOOL.

 Now as Luis Suarez comes back to play  after his ten match ban , and that to against Manchester United.
 He better be careful as he will be walking on thin ice  , because if he  makes a silly tackle and does things he did last year , you can be sure that the loyal Liverpool club fans re not going to forgive him.
 The Liverpool legend  Robbie Fowler has said this is Luis Suarez's , very last chance indeed.
 And in this year if he does anything stupid he should be sold  at once . But one thing is clear Arsenal are not going to come for him again, and Arsenal only made a bid for him.
 He may be a very talented player, but he is carrying his heavy baggage as well.

HIS IS THE REASON WHY DENNIS BERGKAMP CAN NOT MANAGE ARSENAL.

 Even though Dennis Bergkamp played for eleven years at Arsenal from the year 1995, when he joined Arsenal for a then record fee of 7.5 million pounds from Inter Milan.
 The reason  he will  not manage Arsenal is simple.
He has a fear of flying in a aeroplane, it goes back to the 1994 World cup year in the U.S.A, where e had a terrible experience in the air.
 At Arsenal he used to play in England only or in France or any country he could go by ship ,road or even train. Arsene Wenger  and Arsenal were very understanding indeed.
 So there is no chance of Dennis Bergkamp taking over at Arsenal  once Arsene Wenger retires.
Dennis Bergkamp had a few pet names one was THE SILKY DUTCH MAN,because of his smooth passes.And THE NONE FLYING DUTCHMAN , because of his fear of flying..
 It seems more likely Frank de Boer who is the manager of Ajax will be the next manager at Arsenal.

JOSE MOURINHO CRIED WHEN HE DID NOT GET THE MANCHESTER UNITED JOB.

 According to  the Spanish author Diego Torres , in a book that says Jose Mourinho cried  when he was overlooked  for the job as the manager of Manchester United. And the job went to fellow Scotsman David Moyes , who was the manager at Everton then.
 Jorge Mendes who is Jose Mourinho's  agent as well as the agent of Cristiano Ronaldo.
 Jorge Mendes had convinced Jose Mourinho that he would be chosen by Alex Ferguson  as the next manager of Manchester United.
 We must be honest here , as Jose Mourinho will only manage clubs that have big players and lots of money to through.

LIVERPOOL ARE GIVEN THE GREEN LIGHT TO SIGN XAVI ALONSO FROM REAL MADRID.

 Liverpool have been told that they can very well sign Xavi Alonso in january. As xavi Alonso had left Liverpool to join Real Madrid  in 2009 .
 As his contract talks have halted and to add to that he is already 31 years old and will be 32 years in the end of the year.
 Another reason I see that the deal is not worth it, yes he will cost only 3 million pounds but Liverpool have many midfielders such as Steven Gerrard, Lucas Levi,  Coitinho and others where will he fit, two he will be injured often as well.

FRANCESCO TOTTI SIGNS A NEW CONTRACT THAT KEEPS HIM AT A.S.ROMA TILL HE 38 YEARS OLD.

 The famous Italian and A.S.Roma striker Francesco Totti has now gone and signed a new contract for Roma, as he is now 36 years old  and with this two year contract he will end his career at A.S.Roma, the club he joined as a boy, so he will now be 38 when he retires.
 Francesco Totti and Paolo Maldini have all been famous players for Italy and A..S.Roma and A.C. Milan , as these two have been very, very loyal to their clubs , and they both joined it as small boys.
And they are not like footballers of today , who jump from club to club for the money only.
As Francesco Totti says I am proud that I played football wearing this one jersey only.

WHO WAS A BETTER BUY GARETH BALE OR MESUT OZIL?

 Who was the better buy in the transfer windows closing days, was it the Welshman Gareth Bale who joined  Real Madrid for 100 million Euros or 86 million pounds.Or the German midfielder  Mesut Ozil who joined Arsenal for 42.5 million pounds on the last day.
 If you are seeing service rendered it is mesut Ozil the better buy by miles.
 For example in the match between Arsenal and Stoke City,, which ended 3-1 in Arsenals favour, Mesut Ozil had a hand in all the three goals, and he did very well in the other games he played. Gareth Bale scored but is now injured.
 And Mesut Ozil costs half of Gareth Bale.

FLORENTINO PEREZ SAYS THEY GOT GARETH BALE CHEAP AT 100 MILLION EUROS.

 The Real Madrid  president Florentino Perez says boldly that  they got Gareth Bale from Tottenham Hotspurs  cheap after paying 100 million Euros.
 Nobody in their senses will say that 100 million Euros for a player no matter how good he is.Todays inflated prices  are scary as many clubs will go bankrupt, as these players  will also ask for huge weekly salaries.
 Infact I feel Arsenal  also paid to much for Mesut Ozil, they paid 42.5 million pounds.

REAL MADRID GOT BALE AFTER MANCHESTER UNITED ALSO MADE A OFFER.

 Real Madrid had originally  decided to  shelve the idea of buying Gareth Bale from Tottenham Hotspurs for a record amount of 86 million pounds or 100 million Euros.
 But that plan of waiting for a year was cancelled out, after it came to their knowledge that Manchester United, were keen on  Gareth Bale, and wanted to buy him for 60 million pounds.
 Real Madrid  then acted by paying that huge crazy fee.Gareth Bale prefered Real Madrid as it was his childhood favourite club..

WHO WAS A BETTER BUY, FLAMINI OR MAROUANE FELLAINI..

 The big question I would like to ask is who was a better buy in the E.P.L clubs Arsenals French midfielder Mathieu Flamini or the big Belgian Marouane Fellaini?  And the answer is clearly the French man who stood out , in interaction , assisting as well as accurate passing.
 And the big point here is Mathieu Flamini cost Arsenal nothing , as he joined from A.C.Milan on a free transfer., but on the other hand Marouane Fell iani  was not so active as he was at Everton.  And yes he did cost Manchester United 28 million pounds.
 So there is no doubt Arsene Wenger and Arsenal are big gainers.

BRENDAN RODGERS BOASTS CATCH AS IF YOU CAN, NOW HE IS FIFTH IN THE TABLE.

 Just after four games  into the new season Brendan Rodgers  boasted catch us if you can,
 But in the fifth match of the new season the mighty Liverpool  were brought down to harsh reality  with a  loss to Southampton, it ended 1-0 in Southampton favor, they were knocked from the perch.
 And now they are fifth on the E.P.L table, and there is every possibility that the mighty Liverpool club could fall to eight or tenth of the table on the final day.
 A simple case of pride came before the fall.

CROWDS INVADE THE PITCH WHEN BESIKTAS PLAYED GALATASARAY .

 In he match between Besiktas and Galatasaray  played at Istanbul Turkey.This match was abandoned as there was crowds invading the pitch..
 And it all started in the 90 th minute   when  the Galatasaray  midfielder Felipe Melo  was shown the red card.
 At this time Besiktas was loosing 2-1, and when the crowd invaded the pitch there was two  full minutes remaining to play.
 The crowds even fought with the police, threw chairs.The police retaliated by throwing tear shells.
U.E.F.A  are going to take a very  stern view of this as Besiktas have been banned  for a year  from Europe already , the fine will be very heavy  this time and both clubs may have to play behind closed door. This means a loss of  a great loss of money.

DID REAL MADRID REALLY MISS THE BIG SALE OF MESUT OZIL?

 No not really Real Madrid  actually have not yet missed the services of the German midfielder  Mesut Ozil , whom Real Madrid  sold to Arsenal on the last day of the transfer day window, for a record Arsenal buy of 42.5 million pounds.
 Real Madrid had got the Spaniard Isco from Malaga , to replace him. Isco was very much on the verge of joining Manchester City , and he wisely chose the bigger club Real Madrid, and he has settled in very well , he has already scored two goals for Real Madrid and has taken over the role of Mesut Ozil as the provider .
 So honestly speaking Mesut Ozil is  not missed that much  as first thought.

REAL MADRID TOP SIX GOAL SCORERS.

    PLAYER.                                  MATCHES.                              GOALS.                        AVERAGE.
1)  RAUL.                                     741.                                             323.                               0.43.
2) Di Stefano.                                 396.                                           308.                                0.77.
3)SANTILLANA.                         643.                                           290.                                0.45.
4)PUSKAS.                                  261.                                          242.                                  0.93.
5) C.RONALDO.                         205..                                          208.                                  1.01.
6) Hugo Sanchez.                           283.                                          208.                                  0.73.

SUNDERLAND SACK PAOLO DI CANIO.

 Sunderland have sacked  their coach the Italian Paolo Di Canio , just after five games, far to early  to do it.
 in fact they have sacked their last five managers far to early, without giving them a fair chance to prove themselves.
 But what was  the cause of Paolo Di Canio's  sacking?
His downfall was the selling of their good goalkeeper  Mignolet and others.
 he got fourteen new players and changed the back room staff as well..
 Now when you bring in fourteen new players , you are inviting trouble as they are not all going to gel up as we saw.
 Arsene Wenger said you must bring only three players at the most, then the team will gel.
 He got only one player Mesut Ozil and Arsenal are ticking away on the top of the E.P.L..
 Now which manager is willing to take   up the poisoned chalice.

MADCAP MARIO BALOTELLI IS A PROBLEM EVERYWHERE HE PLAYS.

 For a few years we were used to Mario Balotelli , and his crazy behaviour.But he is no better in Italy with A.C.Milan.
In the match between A.C.Milan and Napoli, which Napoli won 2-1. Yes with a super goal by Mario Balotelli. bUt he had a chance to equalize the score  with a penalty, and so far he had netted in 21 penalties, but this penalty shot was saved by the former Liverpool Spanish goalkeeper  Jose Reina.
 To make matters worse for A.C.Milan and Mario Balotelli he collected his second yellow card and was sent out , at  the end of the match  for arguing  with the referee.
 It is a case where leopards do not change their spots.

THIS IS A WARNING TO THE CHELSEA PLAYERS.

 The reading for the Chelsea strikers for the five games played in the E.p.L so far  are a big concern to THE SPECIAL ONE.
 In the past five E.P.L games played so far  the reading of the score is sort of scaring to the chelsea fans and owners as well., it looks like their glory days are over.
 Yes indeed it is early days but when Chelsea lost to Basle a small club in the Champion league , it was a warning of things to come.
 In five games and a total of 443 minutes Chelsea have scored only one goal mind you. Something unthinkable in the Drogba, Robben, Anelka period.
 The main reason of this mess is that Juan Mata is not allowed to play.

MANCHESTER CITY THRASH MANCHESTER UNITED 4-1.

 It was a clash between the  two Manchester clubs for the year 2013/2014. And it was expected to be a hard fought game , with no favours asked or no favours given. But the crowd were in for a big surprise , Manchester United  surrendered tamely to  their noisy neighbours  Manchester City, with a score of 4-1.
 Manchester City  goals were scored by Yaya Toure, Samir Nasri , and two goals from Sergio Aguero.
 Wayne Rooney scored a consolation free goal kick in the dying minutes of the game.
There were a few reasons for this humiliating defeat, but to blame David Moyes is not at all correct, some are saying he was always with a mid table  club Everton, so do not expect any wonders from him.But the team was same as last year, with Marouane Fellaini  added. This was what went wrong.
1) Robin Van Persie was injured, so Manchester United are a one man van.
2) Rio Ferdinand is now to old and rusty for words.
3) Ashley Young was absolutely useless, Luis Nani should have started the match.
4) Danny Welbeck was useless he ran around like a headless chicken.
 5) Javier Hernandez should have started the match with Rooney, they have a better understanding..
And yes Manchester City had a bigger desire to win and score goals, some goals like the Yaya Toure goals was sloppy defending.
 The Moyes plan fell through as Jesus Navas was to fast and overtook Ashley young with ease, Young made only one accurate pass.

RAYO VALLECANO BREAK THE BARCELONA RECORD AFTER FIVE YEARS.

 In the Spanish league match between Barcelona and Rayo Vallecano  in 2013.
 Barcelona finished the match with a score of 4-0.  And a hat trick from their striker  Pedro Rodrigues, and the fourth goal was scored by Cesc Fabregas.
 But it was not all dark and gloomy for Rayo Vallecano as  they broke the record held by Barcelona for five years . As Barcelona are very famous for their crisp passing game and holding to the possession .
Rayo Vallecano broke their record of five years  , and 317 games  that started in the year 7/5/2008.
 For a change Rayo Vallecano held unto more of the ball and so the possession as well.

JOSE MOURINHO COULD CLASH WITH ROMAN ABRAMOVICH .OVER HIS AMIGOS.

 It is very possible  that Jose Mourinho and the Chelsea owner Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich  could clash. It is all over the  the way Jose Mourinho , who has frozen out  popular players and friends at Chelsea.
 Roman Abramovich  , always visits the Chelsea matches, and not like the Liverpool owner Mr Henry  who has not yet  visited a single match at Anfield, Liverpool's ground.
 The reason of anger for the clash is Jose Mourinho has gone and frozen out the two Spanish Amigos, Fernando Torres, and Juan mata as well., these two Spanish footballers are big friends of the Chelsea owner, and he meets them in the dressing room often.
 Now these two are getting frustrated at the club and Atletico Madrid  and P.S.G have come to taake Juan Mata on loan or even P.S.G have a desire for him.
 Just imagine  keeping a player who costs 50 million pounds on the bench , or even out.

JOSE MOURINHO STILL DOES NOT USE JUAN MATA, HE WANTS OSCAR THERE.

 The chelsea manager Jose Mourinho  just does not want the Spaniard Juan Mata to play in the Chelsea team  ,  he  is now preferring Oscar in that place of Juan Mata...
 But what has taken people by surprise is that Juan Mata  has been winning the player in London for the past two years, but still he does not get a starting place.
 Jose Mourinho says Juan Mata must change his style of playing for Chelsea.. I se no reason for him to change  his style of play at all.

ANDRE INIESTA HAS NOT YET REACHED A NEW AGREEMENT.

 The famous Barcelona midfielder Andres Iniesta has not yet reached a new agreement , and it is all about money as usual. And his contract expires in 2015 so there is still time to do it.
Barcelona are willing to give him a 12 million Euros yearly plus 3 million Euros as add ons , on how well he plays for the club.
 But he and his agent who rejected the first contract offered by Barcelona a few weeks ago .
 He is wanting a salary at 17 million Eurs as gross salary.

FLORENTINO PEREZ NOW SAYS OZIL COULD NOT TAKE PRESSURE AT REAL MADRID.

 It is indeed  funny  that the president of Real Madrid  Florentino Perez  , says that Mesut Ozil just could not take any pressure at Real Madrid, just after Gareth Bale joined  Real Madrid for a inflated price of 100 million Euros. So a big  player was bound to be sold  and it was Mesut Ozil  for 42.5 million pounds.
 Not only  did Florentino Perez say this he made the sporting director of Real Madrid  Zinedine Zidane join in by saying Mesut Ozil was a lazy footballer. which is very far from the truth in every way..
 Arsene Wenger has said he has not seen any laziness  ,or Mesut Ozil failing to take any pressure  in games.
This was simply making Mesut Ozil a  guilty player in Real Madrids transfer  . After all Gareth Bale was Zinedine Zidane target for a year.
Ozil is made a scapegoat here , as the Real Madrid players and fans were almost on the verge of a revolt.

DAVID GINOLA WARNS ENGLAND TO GROW MORE HOMEGROWN PLAYERS.

 David Ginola the French winger  who played for both Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspurs has  come out very strongly against managers in England who are buying foreign  footballers, instead of developing their youngsters, and so the national team suffers.
 Arsenal and Newcastle united have a lot of French players, Sunderland , Liverpool, Chelsea  all have foreign players.
 When we look at Barcelona and Bayern Munich , who have spent heavily on their youth academy , but it has paid them rich dividends as well, Spain and Germany have a very young team, for the world cup, many other countries  players are old 33 and 35 years even.

ALEXANDER SONG WANTS TO LEAVE BARCELONA.

 When the Cameroon holding midfielder   left Arsenal for  a better club he chose  Spanish giants Barcelona , and he has been at the Catalunya club for 18 months now.
 But it has not been a happy time for him , playing for Barcelona.
He has only played a total of 91 minutes in the game Barcelona played versus Malaga. And mind you he played those 91 minutes only because Sergio Busquets was injured , or in other  words 15 percent of his time at Barcelona .
 While at Arsenal he started  each and every match there, he thought that the grass was greener on the other side of THE EMIRATE STADIUM, unfortunately it was not. Just like Emmanuel Adebayor found out after moving to Manchester City.

ACCORDING TO THE FRENCH PRESS MESUT OZIL IS RUBBISH AND LAZY.

 According to the French press  the German midfielder Mesut Ozil is lazy and utter rubbish .
 This could be very far from the truth.As you see he is of Turkish origin, and to get selected in the German football team means he has to have class and skill, and above all he can not be lazy at all, just as the French press claim he is.
 Arsene Wenger has said after just two games , I have seen everything but his laziness.
  This is a clear case of sour grapes for the French  , as it was reported that P.S.G were very keen to sign Mesut Ozil, but were to late to complete the paperwork.Laurent Blanc made the big effort as they are  moneyed club.

CRISTIANO RONALDO BREAKS FERENC PUSKAS GOAL SCORING RECORD.

 Cristiano Ronaldo has now broken  the record held by Ferenc Puskas record. . The famous Hungarian footballer  played for Real Madrid in the 1960s  and he had scored a total of 205  in 204 games.
 Now with the help of the  hat trick , in the match between Real Madrid  and Bayern Leverkusen , in this years champion league .
 Cristiano Ronaldo has over taken  Puskas by scoring  206 goals in 204 games. It also included Ronaldo 21 hat trick  in  in his career.
 But there is one record which seems hard for Cristiano Ronaldo to break, While Ferenc Puskas has won three champion league trophies in the 1960s  for Real Madrid , Ronaldo has yet to win his first champion league for Real Madrid.

LAURENT BLANC WANTED TO BUY MESUT OZIL FROM REAL MADRID.

 Laurent Blanc the former world cup winner with France in 1998, and now the manager at P.S.G.
According to the R.M.C Laurent Blanc was very keen to get Mesut Ozil , from Real Madrid  this summer.
But unfortunately time was to short for the transfer to be completed, at the same time Arsenal was working far earlier then either P.S.G or Manchester United , on getting Mesut Ozil at Arsenal, which they got on the last day of the transfer window.

THIS IS WHY CRISTIANO RONALDO SIGNED A NEW DEAL AT REAL MADRID .

 Yes those fifteen million pounds a year did play a big part in changing the mind of Cristiano Ronaldo from leaving Real Madrid and joining Manchester united, he said earlier he would not sign a new deal at Real Madrid and would join  Manchester United.
 But the main  thing besides the money was that Sir Alex Ferguson had retired as manager of Manchester United after 28 years.
 And yes he was quite uncertain what David Moyes would do as a manager , as he won nothing at Everton over eleven years.

ZLATAN IBRAHIMOVIC EXTENDS HIS STAY AT P.S.G TILL 2016.

The Big Swedish striker Zlatan  Ibrahimovic  , who plays his club football in France with P.S.G.
 He will be remembered  for his time at Barcelona, Ajax, Inter Milan and now P.S.G.
He will go down in the history books of the best goals ever scored by a footballer. It was scored in a friendly match between England and Sweden.. He was in the center  of the pitch when he kicked the ball bacwards all the way into the net of Englands goalkeeper Joe Hart.
 Steven Gerrard has said it was the best goal he ever saw. in any football. game.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic will now get a yearly salary of 12 million pounds, yes it is less then Cristiano Ronaldo  15 million pounds a year , both after tax.

A.C.MILAN HAD THEIR THREE STARS BARCELONA HAVE THEIR THREE STARS.

 I do remember  back in the late 1980s and early 90s  the Italian Giants A.C. Milan had their famous three Dutch  footballers . Marco Van Basten, Ruud Gullit and Frank Rijkaard, also called the  FLYING DUTCH MEN.
 They went with A.C. Milan a entire season without defeat, THE INVINCIBLES.Till Arsenal did it in 2004.
 Now it is the turn of the Spanish giants Barcelona , with their three  famous stars in , Lionel Messi,, Andre Iniesta and Xavi Hernandes

LIONEL MESSI BREAKS THE HAT TRICK RECORD IN THE CHAMPION LEAGUE.

 Lionel Messi the Barcelona player has now set a new Champion League record .
 At the age of 26 years he becomes the player to score the most hat  tricks in the champion league ever
Lionel Messi now has 62 goals in the Champion League , and also has a record of four hat tricks as well.
 Lionel Messi  is well on his way to overtake Raul Gonzales  , the Real Madrid striker, who holds the record of most goals scored in the champion league he has 71 goals.

BARCELONA THRASH MIGHTY AJAX 4-0.

 In the champion league of 2013/2014  , The Spanish giants Barcelona clashed with the mighty Dutch giants Ajax. It was supposed to  be a very exciting match  , as both play a holding and crisp passing game. But it turned out to be a walk in the park for Barcelona. As the game ended 4-0 in favour of  Barcelona.
 Lionel Messi proved beyond doubt that what Cristiano Ronaldo can do he can do just as well., Ronaldo had scored a hat trick, but Lionel Messi  scored a hat trick as well and Gerard Pique headed in the fourth  goal from a beautiful kick by  Neymar .
 Ajax did have a chance   to get a consolation goal very late on , when they were awarded a penalty, but the  penalty  was saved by Victor Valdes , which was adding salt to their injury..
 The win for Barcelona was more important as it was played a day after the father  of the manager Gerard Marino died

ARSENAL VERSES OLYMPIQUE MARSEILLE IN CHAMPION LEAGUE MATCH.

 Arsenal was put in the group of death  according to Arsene Wenger with Napoli and Olympique Marseille as well..
 Arsenal were a far weaker  side then previous years, as they either sold some players and  were forced to clear out players who were failures at the club, with either releasing them or giving them on loan. Even Andrei Arshavin  was released free.
Arsenal also had far to many injuries as well which were a headache  for Arsene Wenger, and only had one striker in Oliver Giroud fit.
 But Arsenal responded to the challenge well.As a away win was important as these goals would count..
The goals were scored for Arsenal by Theo Walcott, getting the first goal and Aaron Ramsey getting a second, he has been in excellent form scoring  six goals this season. Taking Arsene Wenger by surprise, as he used to score goals far and few between., so rare were they .But one thing was common with his goals then when ever he scored a goal a famous person died the next day . Like Osama Bin Laden, Moammer Gaddafi  and Whitney Houston.
 Olympique Marseille  hd a consolation goal when  Andre Awaye was brought down, his brother Jordan Awaye scored the penalty.

LIONEL MESSI HAS NOT ASKED FOR A RISE IN HIS SALARY AFTER CRISTIANO RONALDO MADE A NEW DEAL AT REAL MADRID.

 The press  had made up stories that after Cristiano Ronaldo  had signed a new contract  , with a increase in his salary.
Ronaldo gets a weekly salary of 288,00 pounds a week., and a yearly salary of roughly 15 million pounds.
 While at the same time Lionel Messi had signed a new contract  in February 2013, that will keep him at the club till 2018.
 The president of Barcelona has flatly denied  that Lionel Messi has asked for a weekly and yearly salary equal to what  Cristiano Ronaldo is getting now. in his new contract.After all he the president of Barcelona  Mr Sandro Rosell should know very well.

ARSENE WENGER WAS RELUCTANT TO SIGN MATHIEU FLAMINI , FOR THE SECOND TIME.

 Arsene Wenger  is known to stand by his principals , like not breaking a contract., and he does not like to take players at the age of thirty , and those already at Arsenal will get a years contract only  once they reach thirty years.A few examples are Sol Campbell  and Dennis Bergkamp.
In this case Mathieu Flamini left Arsenal to join A.C.Milan  in the year 2008, even though Arsenal offered him a new contract, but now he is a free agent after being released  by A.C.Milan.
 He was training with Arsenal , so Arsene Wenger says he must have seen what Arsenal had in them to offer his services , even though he had  calls from other clubs in Europe. He then joined Arsenal  in the summer.
 As Arsenal are very thin in the midfield due to injuries , he has now played two games coming in as a substitute and he has done well.

THE GLAZERS WANT TO KNOW WHY MANCHESTER UNITED ONLY MADE ONE SIGNING N FELLAINI .

 The Glazers the owners of Manchester United football club, are asking why only one main signing was done in the transfer window. And the Player was Marouane Fellaini, the Belgian midfielder from Everton , for 28 million pounds, that is four million pounds  more then what was on his contract, but as the date passed they paid four million more pounds on the last day..
 But the Glazers are known to milk Manchester United, we must remember  that they brought Manchester United with money  taken on loan from the bank, so they have to pay heavy interest.
 David Moyes wanted Cesc Fabregas as their midfielder, but after three efforts it failed and time was lost, so the Fellaini  deal was done on the last day  a few hours from closing.
 Another problem David Moyes  had was to convince Wayne Rooney to stay back at Manchester United, there was also a story Manchester United wanted Gareth Bale as well.

BARCELONA HAVE INCREASED REVENUE AT 509 MILLION EUROS.

 Barcelona had a increased revenue  for 20 13/ 2014.
 It has now crossed the magical figure of 500 million Euros. That is half a Billion Euros. The actual   figure was 509 million Euros , or 680 million Dollars.
 The only other club in history to cross that magical figure of 500 million Euros , was the other Spanish giants Real Madrid.
 No other club in Italy, Germany or England have done it.
 Now what has taken be by a great deal of surprise has been  both these Spanish giants have done it recently, when Spain  is in a very bad state economically .

SAMUEL ETO'O SAYS HE WAS JUST HOURS FROM SIGNING FOR ARSENAL. IN 2000.

 The Cameroon striker Samuel Eto'o  has said that he was about to sign for Arsenal  in the year 2000, in fact  he was just hours away from  signing for Arsenal.
 But he then met up with Luis Aragones  and he had a change of heart, he joined Spanish club  Royal Molroca ., and from there he joined Barcelona, he was sold to A.C.Milan in the Zalatan Ibrahimovic  transfer, from  A.C.Milan to Inter Milan  and then to the Russian club Anzhi  Makhachkala . And now to Chelsea.
 If he claims Arsenal was not a good team to join  then he must remember Arsenal  are the only Club in the E.P.L to be undefeated in a entire season, Neither Manchester United or Chelsea have done it.
 Or was the real fear he had that with Thierry Henry and Dennis Bergkamp , two of the greatest strikers to play in England.
 Now at 32 years he can come from the bench.
But I also would say here that had he joined Arsenal in 2002  , he would have been a far better player.
 Here at Chelsea he had to even take a pay cut, serves him good.
And Samuel Eto'o  joined Chelsea only after the attempt to sign Wayne Rooney at Chelsea failed.

TEDDY SHERINGHAM SAYS MANCHESTER UNITED SHOULD HAVE GOT MESUT OZIL'S , INSTEAD OF FELIANI

 Teddy Sheringham  the former striker at Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspurs  and Portsmouth.
 He played for Manchester United  along with Andy Cole , and Dwight Yorke as strikers, has this to say.
 He says it would have been far Better for Manchester United  to have spent their money on buying Mesut Ozil's then on buying   the big Belgian Marouane  Fellaini  , on the last day of the transfer window.
 And do agree with him, as we saw Mesut Ozil in one match  played between Arsenal and Sunderland.
Teddy Sheringham asked the press one question .
 Between the two Mesut Ozil and Marouane  Fellaini , who would you choose? Ozil of course, but Marouane Fellaini  is far to similar to Michael Carrick.

SAMI KHEDIRA COULD JOIN ARSENAL .

It is reported in THE METRO  that Arsenal could very well sign the German midfielder Sami Khedira., who plays his club football at Real Madrid.
For a matter of fact Real Madrid had him on he sale list , and Manchester United were very keen to buy him, but unfortunately they were far to busy with the three attempts  to get Cesc Fabregas from Barcelona, Arsene Wenger had told Manchester United  it would be a waste of time, they then targeted  Marouane Fellaini  , and managed to get him on the last day, just a  while to spare. So they failed to complete the paper work in time.
 Sami Khedira who is 26 years old and also of Turkish decent like Mesut Ozil,  very good friends as well..
Real are eager to sell Sami Khedira as they have to pay Tottenham Hotspurs a lot of money, and he is keen to join up with his team mate at Arsenal. But the price will have to be still decided.

TRANSFER NEWS IN FOOTBALL.

The biggest transfer made  on deadline day, 2/9/2013 was Mesut Ozil, from Real Madrid to Arsenal for a fee of 42.5 million pounds.
The biggest transfer of the summer was Gareth Bale , from Tottenham Hotspurs to Real Madrid, for a world record of  86 million pounds ,or 100 million Euros.
The busiest club  in the transfer market was  Bury, they signed 21 players, you can say a entire team.
The Busiest E.P.L club  was Crystal Palace, they made 16 signings.

KAKA REFUSES TO TAKE ANY SALARY AT A.C.MILAN WHILE HE IS INJURED.

 Kaka the  Brazilian and former A.C.Milan footballer who was sold to Real Madrid  for a then record price of 56 million pounds.,
 Has now rejoined A.C.Milan  , absolutely free on the last day of transfer, can you believe it.
But now he has a injury that  will keep  him out for a month. The injury is on his left adductor.
 This case is  one in a million , it is like looking for a needle in a haystack to to find some footballer like this.
 Footballers  are getting greedier  and greedier, now Ronaldo gets 15 million pounds a year, Lionel Messi has said he also wants 15 million pounds a year.
 Andrea Iniesta the Barcelona  midfielder has now rejected a new contract already, you guessed it is all about money here.He may also ask for 15 million pounds.
 This just greedy , when you see the economical state of Spain..

STEVEN GERRARD HAS PLAYED 635 GAMES FOR LIVERPOOL AND 400 AS CAPTAIN.

 The Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard has now played  a total of 635 games for Liverpool, he has been a very loyal player to both England and Liverpool as well, we do not hear of him making fancy demands like the other footballers over Europe, yes he is 33 years old now  and may play another two or three years at the most..
 But we must also remember he has captained Liverpool in 400 of those matches.He first wore that armband in November  2002 in the match verses Southampton, not many can claim this record of 400 .

DID ENGLAND LAST PLAY A MATCH WITHOUT A MANCHESTER UNITED PLAYER IN IT.

 It is difficult to think that in the Spanish national team without a single player from either Barcelona or Real Madrid . In the same way when did England play a match without a single Manchester United player in it?
 It was the  1990 world cup in Italy verses West  Germany.
1) Peter Shilton.           Derby County.
2) Paul Parker.             Q.P.R.
3)Butcher.                   Glasgow Rangers.
4) Walker.                   Nottingham Forest.
5) Wright.                   Derby County.
6) Stuart Pearce.            Nottingham Forest.
7)Chris Waddle.            Olympique Marseille.
8)   Paul Gascoigne.          Tottenham Hotspurs.
9)David Platt.                    Aston Villa.
10) Peter Beardsley.           Liverpool.
11)Gary Lineker.                Tottenham Hotspurs.

HOW THE WEEKLY SALARIES OF FOOTBALLERS HAVE RISEN.

1)  Jimmy Hayes at Fulham in the year  1961  got 100 Pounds a week .
2)  George Best at Manchester United  1968  got 1000 Pounds a week.
3)  Roberto Baggio  at Juventus    in 1990     got 50,000 Pounds a week.
4)Carlos Tevez  at Manchester City  in 2009 got 200,000 Pounds a week
5)  Wayne Rooney at Manchester United got 250,000 Pounds a week
6)  Cristiano Ronaldo at Real Madrid in 2013 got 2888,000 Pounds a week.

GUILT HURTS MARK HALSEY , REFEREES MAY COMMIT SUICIDE HE SAYS.

 Now as the truth is out of the horses mouth, and Mark  Halsey  has admitted that  he sent text messages to Alex Ferguson .
 Now the big question is how many other referees were involved in texting messages and  how many favours  did Alex Ferguson get in winning those titles , they are nothing but shameless cheats , how many titles were stolen from Arsenal , and Chelsea.
 Now Mark Halsey says a referee could commit suicide due to the pressure . But why is he feeling that much pressure  now, a guilty conscious  thats all.. He better come out clean , before the pressure increases on him  , leading to a suicide as he says.
 Disgusting from him and all the other referees like  Howard Webb, who is called Manchester Uniteds twelfth man, Ryan Babel put a cartoon of Howard Webb on the twitter, it showed Howard Webb wearing a Manchester United jersey blowing a whistle .
 This clearly shows that the Dutch footballer who played for Liverpool had very bad experiences from Howard Webb.
 It would be  nice to hear Alex Ferguson's side, not that he will say anything , all cheats you see.

JOSE MOURINHO AFDMITS THIS YEARS CHELSEA TEAM ARE WEAKER THEN THE 2004 CHELSEA.

 Yes here is no doubt  that this years Chelsea team is much weaker  then the  Chelsea team of 2004.
 There are many reasons for this, many talented players have left the club like Dider Drogba, Ricardo Carvalho,Florent Malouda, Arjen Robben.
 And many have got old and not been replaced like Frank Lampard,, John Terry, Michael Essien, Petr Cech.
 So it is natural  that these older footballers can not have the pace and stamina  of the 2004 team.
 For example Chelsea lost  Everton, a thing unthinkable in 20004, that year  they only lost to Manchester City.
 And their defender David Luis  has been guilty of major mistakes, including the time he let the Everton player Naysmith in to head  in the goal.

LIVERPOOL PAY 18 MILLION POUNDS FOR MAMADOU SAKHO , BUT HE IS NOT EVEN STARTING.

 This transfer window Liverpool got Mamadou Sakho from the French club P.S.G .. For a very huge price indeed it was a total of 18 million pounds, to much for a defender, who is not very well known at all.
 And he was not at all good as a defender in the P.S.G club.
 Maybe Brendan Rodgers is having second thoughts about having got him for  that much, and the fear that he will fail badly, as football in England is different to football in France..

CRISTIANO RONALDO GETS A WEEKLY SALARY 288 ,000 EUROS.

 After Cristiano Ronaldo had signed a new contract  , he will get  now 288 ,000 pounds a week, or his yearly  salary will be 15 million Euros .
 While Gareth Bale who now holds the record as the costliest footballer, after he joined Real Madrid for 100 million Euros , from Tottenham Hotspurs,  to Real Madrid will only get 8.3 million pounds.
 Beside these two there are many players getting huge weekly salaries, how can a club which s in 600million Euro debt ever survive beats me.

THE STRONG FRIENDSHIP BETWEEN ERIC ABIDAL AND DANNY ALVES.

 The relation between these two defenders Eric Abidal and  Danny Alves is indeed very strong, both on the pitch and off it as well..
The french defender Eric Abidal who was 34 this year,
But he has been unwell for the past few years  with liver trouble, it was first a tumour in the liver  and then in the end he had to undergo a liver transplant, which went of very well.
But Eric Abidal has said that Danny Alves  his very close friend  was willing to donate his liver to Eric Abidal,. But the Spanish giants Barcelona objected to it as Danny Alves was a professional footballer.
But Barcelona  did not renew  Eric Abidal's  contract, so he joined Monaco.
 This year Danny Alves has taken the jersey number 22 , formerly worn by Eric Abidal.
 Pep Guardiola wanted to take Eric Abidal to Bayern Munich , but the Bayern Munich  club blocked the transfer , for both health and age reasons.

REFEREE SENT TEXTS TO ALEX FERGUSON, SO TROPHIES WON ON DOUBT NOW.

 It was no secret that the referees played a big hand in the many trophies won by Manchester United.
Now referee Marl Halsey  , who has retired after last season, along with Alex Ferguson, a coincidence  or not is to be found out.
 The referee Mark Halsey  has admitted in his book that he had sent text messages  to Alex Ferguson  , over the Mark Clattenburg incident with Chelsea.
 But the big question is was it a regular texting going on , and were other referees guilty of texting messages and Alex Ferguson getting favours from them on the pitch, to win all these trophies.
I am not at all surprised at the wins by Manchester United, with a penalty and free kicks when no  contact was even made between the players.
Now THE PROFESSIONAL GAME AND MATCH OFFICIALS  have given all the referees and linesmen strict warning that they  , the referees are not to text any messages to any manager at all.
It is a shame on Alex Ferguson and Manchester United  that they had t win trophies all these years  in this way.It should all be taken away from Manchester United.

GARETH BALES FEE OF 100 MILLION EUROS IS MADNESS.

There is no doubt about it that the 100 million Euros paid for the transfer of Gareth Bale  , was just being crazy as he is not worth it at all.For the matter no footballer is worth that much.
 Real Madrid  believe in record spending on players, do not  believe in developing young players, like Barcelona do.
In the six record buying of players  six were made by Real Madrid, they continue with their idea that buying  costly players  just did not work.As they won the Champion League , last time eleven years ago, pretty long time  for a club of Real Madrids class..
And to spend  100 million Euros when the Spanish giants Real Madrid have a debt of 600 million Euros is unpardonable.

THESE RUMOURS CONCERNING GOALKEEPERS.

 There is a big buzz in the football rumour world  , and it is concerning famous goalkeepers in Europe.
1) Is that Petr Cech  the Chelsea goalkeeper  could move to Barcelona, as Victor Valdes  will not be signing a new contract at Barcelona next year.
2)  Victor Valdes will join Chelsea from Barcelona , if Chelsea do not bring in Victor Valdes  , they need not worry much, as they have a young Belgian goalkeeper called Thibaut Courtois..
 3) Here it is Iker Casillas joining Arsenal  from Real Madrid.

ARSENAL, CHELSEA AND TOTTENHAM HOTSPURS WANT FERNANDO LLORENTE.

 The Spanish striker Fernando Llorente  is wanted in the transfer window by Arsenal , Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspurs.
 Carlos Tevez  and Mario Vucinic have seen to it that he has not had a starting time  at Juventus, the only time he has ever played for  the Turin club, Juventus was when he came in in the 89th minute in the match Juventus verses Sampdoria .
 Fernando Llorente  joined Juventus on a free transfer from the Spanish Basque  club Atletico Bilbao , at 28 years. This club have only footballers from the Basque region of Spain, and no foreigners at all.
Arsenal are keen on a striker, and Tottenham Hotspurs want to replace Jermaine Defoe and Emmanuel Adebayor, while Chelsea want to replace Ba and Fernando Torres.

ASHLEY YOUNG IS A BORN DIVER.

 Ashley Young is a disgrace to football and Manchester United.
In the match between Manchester United and Crystal Palace, Young got a yellow card for diving and then dived outside the box , but made sure he fell in the box to get a penalty.
 The referee was a absolutely blind bat  to give it, now goal line technology has arrived the next thing that must come is to catch these divers , and the F.A should give them lengthy bans ten games .
Ashley Young is getting a weekly salary of 130,000pounds, after he joined Manchester United from Aston Villa.
Now you can not say he does not dive , he dives to often last year Alex Ferguson  pulled him up and warned him, this year David Moyes  has spoken to him, after the Crystal Palace match.
But what has surprised me is  that very talented players do this diving tricks to fool the referee, but some times they are not given a free kick when in truth they were tripped.Players like Diego Maradona , Luis Figo, Luis Suarez , Cristiano Ronaldo , Gareth Bale , Ashley young are the players.
 Ashley Young is either diving or is long time injured.

ADEBAYOR WANTS A MILLION POUNDS FROM TOTTENHAM HOTSPURS TO TEAR HIS CONTRACT.

 Emmanuel Adebayor  , who joined Arsenal from Monaco for 3.5 million pounds, and was sold to Manchester City for 25 million pounds, but he was soon on his way , first on loan at Real Madrid and then on loan o Tottenham Hotspurs on loan.
He has been told by Andre Villas Boas that he no longer  fits in any of his plans, from the bench he  has now gone even further down the table, he is told to practice with the youth team.
Emmanuel Adebayor has asked Tottenham Hotspurs  to pay him a million pounds to tear up his contract at the club. But one thing is clear he will cot the club a lot of money and want go cheap.
He has a two year contract still remaining, and his weekly salary is a huge 100,000 pounds.
He has learnt the hard way , THE GRASS IS NEVER GREENER ON THE OTHER SIDE.
 He wants to tear his contract and collect the money and join a middle east club.He i 29 years old now.

RONALDOS BRUISED EGO IS LIFTED UP.

 Cristiano Ronaldo  who had his ego bruised  with Gareth Bale getting the title of the worlds costliest player.
But Real Madrid made amends by giving him a new five year contract at Real Madrid, he will get 90 million Euros or  76 million pounds , or 15 million pounds a year,  after tax cuts. He will be getting more then Gareth Bale now. Cristiano Ronaldo also becomes the costliest footballer in the world where the salary is concerned, he is now going to get 850,000  pounds more then the big Swedish striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic  at P.S.G..
 This also puts a end to the rumours and hope of Manchester United of buying Ronaldo in the year 2014., they had kept 50 million pounds separate for him.

MESUT OZIL COSTS MORE THEN THE ENTIRE SUNDERLAND TEAM.

The German midfielder Mesut Ozil , joined Arsenal for a club record of  42.5 million pounds from Real Madrid.
This year  the Italian Manager Paolo Di Canio  has made big changes at Sunderland  club.
 He has got in eleven new players at Sunderland , but they jointly cost less then what Arsenal had paid Real Madrid to get Mesut Ozil..
 But the problem at Sunderland is these eleven players are taking a long time to  gel together as a team, they are now in the relegation bottom, But it is far to early to say anything.

ANDRE VILLAS BOAS SAYS ARSENAL OVERPAID FOR MESUT OZIL'S.

 The Tottenham Hotspurs manager Andre Villas Boas  has said that Arsenal overpaid for Mesut Ozil's, it was 42.5 million pounds..But all the same it was a big coup for Arsenal.
 But here we must remember that the deal was done on the last day, infact a few hours before the window closed.And footballers got on the last day are always costlier.
 Andre Villas Boas says Tottenham Hotspurs and Manchester City , have done the best transfers .
 tottenham Hotspurs got seven footballers for over 100 million pounds, mostly using the Gareth Bale money , which they have still to get in installments of 12.5 million pounds till 2017..
But he has admitted after this 100 million pound spending he is trying for the forth spot only, he may not make it in the end.

ZINEDINE ZIDANE THROWS ANOTHER JIBE AT MESUT OZIL.

 Zinedine Zidane is a idiot , he personally wanted Gareth Bale at Real Madrid,and he decided along with the Real Madrid president , that the price for Gareth Bale was a ridiculous 86 million pounds, or 100 million Euros. After the sale was done Zinedine Zidane  says Gareth Bale was not worth 86 million pounds.
This year Real Madrid spent 0ver 180 million pounds on buying players, so players had to be sold to generate funds as well , Gonzalo Higuain  and others were there for sale.
 To prevent a civil war  and a revolt by Real Madrid fans and players and the club board. Zinedine Zidane cheaply says  that Mesut Ozil had no stomach  to fight for his place, like Angel di Maria did.You can not compare these two players even. Mesut Ozil played as a provider to Ronaldo who scored the goals.
In the three years he played at Real Madrid he made twice the number of passes made by Cesc Fabregas..
Real Madrid wanted money so actually  both Mesut Ozil and Sami Khedira were for sale at 42 million and 35  million pounds respectively. While Arsenal had done heir paper work, Manchester United  were late in completing their paper work, they were  after Cesc Fabregas and Marouane Fellini.
 Mesut was not at fault anyway it was Real Madrid , and now Spanish banks do not give loans so they had to sell and make money fast.

IkER CASILLAS IS A WANTED MAN NOW, ZIDANE TO BE A PEACEMAKER.

 It is getting more and more clear that Iker Casillas the Spanish and former  Real  Madrid captain, is no longer the first choice keeper. He lost his place to Claudio Lopez  last year under Jose Mourinho  and neither is Carlo Ancelotti keen to let him start. Selling Mesut Ozil  selling was a big blow to both the Real Madrid players and fans,    , and if they sell Iker Casillas  there is bound to be a civil  war at the Santiago Bernabeu.
 And Big clubs are watching matters closely , clubs like Arsenal, Borussia  Dortmund  and Manchester City.
 If he is sitting on the bench he will miss his place for the world cup , with Jose Pepe Reina, Victor Valdez  and David de Gea waiting.
But let me give you some records  set by Iker Casillas .
He became the youngest goalkeeper  to play in the champion league at 19 years, and that is before he got a driving licence..
He is Spains most capped player with 125 caps.Spain have no shortage of footballers, like Brazil mind you.
He is the only goalkeeper ever to win the best goalkeeper  from 81 countries. He was won it four years in a row 2008,2009,2010, 2011.The previous record holder was Walter Zenga  of Inter Milan  who won it three years in a row in 1989,1990 1991.
 Goalkeepers play till they are even forty years, Dino Zoff is the oldest goalkeeper to lift the world cup in 1982 at 40 years..
 Now Zinedine Zidane wants to speak to Iker Casillas , face to face  and settle it.

HUGO LLORIS IS WANTED BY MONEY BAG CLUB MONACO .

 Tottenham Hotspurs could very well have a fight in their hands  to keep their French goalkeeper Hugo Lloris , after he played just two seasons in the E.P.L , with Tottenham Hotspurs..
 The Russian owner of Monaco  has clearly said  that money is not the matter here.And as Hugo lloris  is a French footballer he would be very pleased to  play for a club back in his own country.
 Monaco have a goalkeeper on loan called Sergio Romero , from Sampdoria  in Italy.
 The goalkeeper Mandana at Marseille has also been contacted and has been promised a weekly salary of 80,000 pounds a week, which is very high for a goalkeeper.
 In case Mandana runs into trouble  with Marseille , then Hugo Lloris will be next choice , at the end of the season.

SAMUEL ETO'O HAD VOWED NEVER EVER TO PLAY UNDER JOSE MOURINHO AGAIN.

 It has indeed come as a big surprise  that  the Cameroon striker Samuel Eto'o, had decided to join Chelsea and also play again under Jose Mourinho. Their trouble all started when Samuel Eto'o  was at Inter Milan under Jose Mourinho, after he had played for Barcelona  for a few tears.
Now at the age of 32 years he may not get a regular starting place.
 Samuel Eto'o  is a trouble maker according to the great Roberto Carlos, who was a player as well as manager of the Russian club Anzhi Makhachkala .
 And it was a well known truth  that  Samuel Eto'o joined Chelsea as they failed to buy Wayne Rooney,.And he joined free and took a big wage cut as well to be at Chelsea.
Now you  you can see why that vow went sailing f the window, it was all about money as it would be his last contract.
 And egos will clash here.

GARETH BALE WANT HAVE MUCH TIME TO SETTLE AT REAL MADRID.

 It is definite that the latest world record for a footballer , which is 100 million Euros or 86 million pounds, will be a immense pressure  on the Welsh winger.Far to much I must say.
 The Real Madrid fans want quick results for their money , and if he does not click at the first match, they will retaliate with whistles and jeers all the time. Even the white hankies will come out.
 You must remember  it does happen at Real Madrid, it happened to the great Zinedine Zidane , after he joined Real Madrid from Juventus in 2001, for over a billion lira or then record price of 75 million pounds.
 The whistles , jeers and hankie were there for the greatest footballer Zinedine Zidane , then no one is safe , so bale will have to do well in each game , the fans are not forgiving type.

REAL MADRID MAY BUY SERGIO AGUERO < JUST AS BARCELONA HAVE MESSI AND NEYMAR.

 This year the two Spanish giants Barcelona and Real Madrid will have two horse race as usual in Spain, this year Real Madrid depend  are expecting a lot from Gareth Bale, he may not deliver like last year..The big pressure of the record tag will be to much for his neck.. We saw it with the 50 million pound on Fernando Torres and the 35 million pounds on Andy Carroll , both failed for long , long periods.
 Then Real Madrid  will be very much tempted to buy a real good striker, and he will cost a lot .
 One target already in their minds is the Argentinean striker Sergio Aguero , who is also the son in law of the great footballer Diego Maradona .
 Sergio Aguero will like to play in the champion league so Real Madrid will do for him. He will know by now his hopes at Manchester City  are not progressing as expected.

MESUT OZIL WILL FILE A CASE AGAINST FLORENTINO PEREZ , FOR SAYING THINGS AGAINST HIM.

 It is clear Mesut Ozil and his agent father are not going to  let the Real President get away scot free, they will file a case against him.And demand compensation in millions ora open public apology.
 The trouble started after Real Madrid sold Mesut Ozil to Arsenal on the last day of the transfer window.
Real Madrid did not expect this sort of revolt from players and fans, Cristiano Ronaldo, Segio Ramos, Alonso all were angry and could not understand why their best player, who is so unique had to be sold, even the Arsenal player Santi Cazorla , is finding it hard to believe..
 But the answer was simple Real Madrid need money  to pay back not only 100 million Euros for Gareth Bale, but also Isco and others well over 180 million pounds.. And as Spanish clubs are facing hard times along with Spain, who are on their knees financially, so Both Mesut Ozil  and Sami Khedira  were for sales, Khedira was to join Manchester United for 35 million pounds, but it was to short a time to do it.
Now to save his face Florentino Perez says that  Mesut Ozil was not a good player, and also a womanizer so jhe was sold.
 But let me ask a question if he was a bad player why was he sold for 42.5 million pounds.? Yes it was true about his women in his life ,it was the Venezuelan  miss world. But the point is if he was tired and all that , let us see his record, Mesut Ozil has made a total of 94 assists in  180 matches. That is twice the amount made by Cesc Fabregas, so that proves  Mesut Ozil is used as a scapegoat to cover the presidents big blunder..
The president of Real Madrid  says he was a not a professional  player at the club, but Mesut Ozil plaued a total of 159 games for Real Madrid, unless you are professinal you cant play so many games , as you can loose your place easily. He played 159 games in three years.That answers it.

STEVEN HARPERS TESTIMONIAL MATCH.

 The Steven Harper testimonial  match for him was held recently, after he spent twenty years at Newcastle United, but he was always under the shadow of Shay Given , and only took over when Shay Given moved on..
Both old and famous stars of Newcastle United and A.C.Milan  played in the match., it had famous players, like Alan Shearer, Nicky Butt, Peter Beardsley, Ashley Cole , Asprilla , Joe Barton  and many more.  The A.C. Milan team had famous players such as Paolo Maldini, Paolo Di Canio, Boban, Costocruto , Mark Van Bommel, Franco Baresi and others .
 There was a crowd of over fifty thousand in the stand, it as a match well played and enjoyed as well..

CHELSEA GOT SAMUEL ETO'O ONLY AFTER THEY FAILED TO GET WAYNE ROONEY.

 The Technical director Michael Emenalo  of Chelsea ,  he also happens to be the right hand man  to the Russian owner of Chelsea Roman Abramovich.
Michael Emenalo has now admitted to the press that Chelsea had made three different attempts to sign Manchester United  striker Wayne Rooney., but all three attempts met with failure..
 They were then  forced to look elsewhere , so they finally got the Cameroon striker Samuel Eto'o , from the Russian clun Anzhi Makhachkala  on a free transfer  but make no mistake his  weekly salary will be high.  and he is also thirty two years old . This made them to send their 20 year old Belgian striker to Everton on a years long loan.  Lakuukka..

GIANLUIGI BUFFON HAS EQUALLED FABIO CANNAVARO'S RECORD OF 136 GAMES FOR ITALY.

The Italian  goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon  ,who plays his club football with Juventus. Also called THE OLD LADY OF TURIN.And is also the worlds costliest goalkeeper, Juventus  got him from Parma for a sum of 32.5 million pounds.
He has stood well and long between the goal posts  for Italy as well.
 He now has a total of 136 caps for Italy, which equals  the number of caps held by Fabio Cannavaro ., Fabio Cannavaro  is also the only defender in the world to win the footballer of the year.
 Gianluigi Buffon is bound to break this record as the world cup is there in 2014, and Italy have qualified for it.

LIVERPOOL SAY THAT THEY WILL NOT SELL LUIS SUAREZ TO REAL MADRID.

 Liverpool have clearly said that they will not be selling  Luis Suarez  to either Real madrid or Arsenal.  And for the matter no other European club will  be entertained  in his sale.
 Yes Liverpool are very keen to keep him as they all know that he is the only player  in the club who will get them a lot of goals.
 And now that he is still serving his ban in the E..P.L.  .But he may not  be the same player he was last year, after all all footballers want to play for a champion league club, and he feels Liverpool and Brendan Rodgers  were not fair to him, as they had given him a oral promise that he could leave Liverpool  if they  failed to qualify for a champion league spot, there was one mistake made by Luis Suarez , he did not take the promise down in black and white.
 This year Liverpool are on top of the E.P.L , but they have just scraped through each match with a single goal only, this all could change soon.

TWO PLAYERS NOT HAPPY AT CHELSEA.

 The Brazilian  midfielder Ramires has now said he would very much like to end his football career in Portugal , with Benfica, it was the club he played for before joining Chelsea. He says it is a big club with big history , only thing missing is that they have not been winning trophies recently, something  like Arsenal.
 Willan also says he may not find a starting place, with Juan Mata,Hazard, Oscar in the starting.
 But just imagine paying 30 million pounds for a player to sit on the bench.

ZALATAN IBRAHIMOVIC SAYS NOBODY IS WORTH 86 MILLION POUNDS OR 100 MILLION EUROS.

 The famous Swedish striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic  says that nobody is worth a total sum of 86 million pounds, or 100 million Euros, and that very well goes for him as well.
He should know the price of footballers  as he has played for Inter Milan , Barcelona and  P.S.G..
 He joined  Barcelona from Inter Milan  for 58 million pounds only.
He says this prices are just madness  and no footballer is worth this amount.
 Even Edison Cavani claims he is not worth the 55 million pounds , when he was sold from Napoli.

JOHN W.HENRY SAYS LIVERPOOL WILL SOON HAVE TO ENLARGE THE STADIUM SOON.

 John W Henry the principal owner of the Liverpool football club, has come out to say  that soon funds will be available in large sums to  enlarge the stadium at Anfield,  it is expected to be a new 60,000 seater stadium..
But it is not going to be easy at all , the former owners of Liverpool  Tom Hicks and George Gillett  tried to enlarge the Anfield stadium earlier , but found money very short.
John W Henry has also said  that while the work on the enlargement  of the Anfield stadium is in progress  he will very well see to it that the Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers  , does not find his hands all tied up where the  transfer market is concerned, there will be ample of money  to spend for new players.
But it may not be so easy as it sounds., as clubs both Liverpool and Everton were told once to jointly  invest their money on the new stadium, same as the famous one in Mian THE SAN SIRO shared by A.C.Milan and Inter Milan.
 By the way John W Henry never does come to attend Liverpool clubs matches .

REAL MADRID SOLD MESUT OZIL JUST LIKE THEY SOLD ARJEN ROBBEN AND WESLEY SNEIJDER.

 It is a proven fact that Real Madrid believing in spending big on players, even knowing very well that they are not worth it at all.
The buy a player  for a world record amount , and then are forced to sell their very talented players just to balance  their books.
 In 2009 they got Cristiano Ronaldo from   Manchester United for a then world record price of 80 million pounds.
 But that buy came at a very big price  for Real Madrid both their Dutch stars Arjen Robben and Wesley Sneijder were sold, Arjen Robben joined Bayern Munich and Wesley Sneijder joined Inter Milan.
 Now they have gone and done it again ,they went and got Gareth Bale for 100 million  Euros, so they were forced to sell their best player Mesut Ozil to Arsenal  for 42.5 million pounds.
There was also plans to sell their other German footballer Sami Khedira  for 35 million punds to Manchester United. But unfortunately the paper work  was not completed by 2/9/2013.
There were also buys made by Real Madrid like Isco, so now who else will be sold in january..
The sale of Mesut Ozil caused a revolt by both club fans and players alike.

F.I.F.A WANT A WINTER WORLD CUP IN QATAR IN THE WINTER OF 2022.

 The F.I.F.A president Sepp Blatter wants the 2022 world cup in winter , instead of a summer world cup the usual of June and July.
But I am certain  that F.I.F.A were aware that the temperature would be 45 degrees to 50 degrees in summer., which would be impossible  for  man to walk for ninety minutes, leave alone  run around for ninety minutes ,or even one hundred and twenty minutes  if it is extra time.
But there are  many other problems  facing F.I.F.A.
For example as  Qatar is a strict muslim   country  so there will be no alcohol sold, and  most of the sponsors are beer companies like Carlsberg, Budweiser , Heineken and so on, now these want be there .
 Secondly muslim  countries  do not allow  people to take money on interest , so these also want be there like Standard Chartered Bank, Citibank and so on. Neither will there be Mastercard, American Express. and others.
 Another thing who will want to travel to a hot country and not be allowed to drink beer, they will prefer to see it on television at home.
 So there will be a drop in the number of tourists for sure.

FIORENTINA DENIED THEY EVER MADE CONTACT WITH JULIO CESAR FOR A LATE TRANSFER.

 The Italian club Fiorentina have flatly denied that  they were ever interested in signing the Brazilian goalkeeper Julio Cesar , from Queen Park Rangers.
 They say they never contacted the Brazilian  for two main reasons he was 34 years old, and his weekly salary was very high.It was far to high for the club to pay, so they never went to get him in the end.
 Besides he last played a game in the month of April..
 But Julio Cesar should know as next year is the world cup  in Brazil, he should have cut his salary , to get a good chance to play in the world cup.

WAS GARETH BALE WORTH A HUNDRED MILLION EUROS?

 The big question in everybody's  mind is  was Gareth Bale honestly worth  that price of 100 million Euros?
 And to me as well as some great footballers of the past and present the answer is no.
The Real Madrid's sporting director Zinedine Zidane says , no and for the matter no one is worth it..
 A former Real Madrid s and Tottenham Hotspurs striker  Rafael Van Der Vaart  says , Gareth Bale might have developed since he joined the club in 2007, but not worth that much at all.
Gareth Bale has played 146 games for Tottenham Hotspurs, but he has scored only 42 goals,.
Now that should give you your answer.Let us compare  Lionel Messi.Lionel Messi has played 248 games for Barcelona , with 220 goals , that should settle it.
Another big fear I have for Gareth Bale will be this as a price tag, would be a millstone round his neck, he says he will not have any pressure on him, do not believe it. Both Fernando Torres and Andy Carroll , felt it, and lost form completely.
And do not forget Real Madrid want results at once, as they have no patience at all.

ONLY TWO PERCENT IN THE BARCELONA POLL SAY MESSI IS NOT GOOD.

 Barcelona had taken a surprise poll on the popularity of how god Lionel Messi was as a player.
And the result shocked all the Barcelona fans and players alike, there was a two percent of these fans said Lionel Messi was not good enough.
 Either these two percent  do not know anything of football, or could have been Cristiano Ronaldo fans.
But let explain how good he is , Lionel Messi joined the Barcelona Academy called THE LA MASSIA , or the castle in the year 2000 at the tender age of 13 years.
 He has played a total of 248 matches and has scored 220 goals. Under Pep Guardiola alone he has won 14 major trophies , and already won a trophy this year.He has already won the Ballon d Or four times  the only player in history to do it, he could well win it again..
Only Ronaldo and Zinedine Zidane have won it  three times in all..
Last year he broke Gerd Muller's record of the most goals by a player in a year.
 Now I hope you all see why he is such a good player , mind you he is 24 years old only, by 28 when a footballer reaches his peak, we wonder what he will be like , where records stand.

REAL MADRID RELUCTANTLY SOLD MESUT OZIL'S TO ARSENAL., THEY WANTED TO SELL SOMEONE ELSE.

 Real Madrid  with a very heavy heart sold Mesut Ozil's  to Arsenal., for a Arsenal record of 42.5 million pounds.. But the Spanish giants wanted to sell the other German  Sami Khedira to Manchester United., for 32 million pounds.
 Real Madrid knew very well that Mesut Ozil's  or Sami Khedira would have to be sold , after the arrival of Gareth Bale at Real Madrid for a world record 100 million Euros, a vastly overrated player..
 But the Sami Khedira sale deal to Manchester United  came far to late  , to be completed by the 2/9/2.
 But the  sale of  Mesut Ozil's was  going on well for weeks. It was delayed on a few accounts, Tottenham Hotspurs and Real Madrid wrangled about the  price of Gareth Bale, then Daniel Levy  the chairman of Tottenham Hotspurs wanted to hijack the sale of Mesut Ozil's from happening..
 Manchester United wasted time on the Fabregas issue.Or they could have had sami Khedira in time..
 Now both Real madrid players and fans are revolting against their famous club.
Now Manchester United must complete the deal in january.

EIGHT FOOTBALLERS TO PLAY A HUNDRED GAMES.

So far only eight footballers have played   a hundred games or more for England. Here is the list.
1) Sir Bobby Moore.
 2)  Sir Bobby Charlton.
3) Peter Shilton.
4) David Beckham.
5) Ashley Cole.
6) Steven Gerrard.
7) Billy Wright.
 8)  Frank Lampard.

LIVERPOOL WANTED TO SIGN BATISTUTA TO PARTNER ROBBIE FOWLER.

 Liverpool manager Mr Evans once wanted to sign the great Argentinean striker Gabriel Batistuta  , from the Italian club  Fiorentina..
 The aim was to  get him to partner their  then Liverpool striker Robbie Fowler, but sadly it did not work out for Liverpool., to have these two goal scoring machines , would have terrified any club.
But Gabriel Batistuta was a very loyal  player for his club, Fiorentina he even played for them when they were relegated once.
But sadly  the deal to buy him collapsed..
We must now know some rare facts of these two great strikers.
1) Gabriel Batistuta is the only footballer ever in world cup history, from 1930 , to score a hat trick in two different world cups.
 Robbie Fowler holds the record for the fastest hat trick in the E.P.L. Robbie Fowler scored that hat trick verses Arsenal in 4and a half minutes play.

REAL MADRID NOW WANT A NEW STRIKER .

 The Spanish giants Real Madrid  are now very keen to use the money they made  from the sale of the German play maker Mesut  Ozil's to  Arsenal  for a fee of 42.5 million pounds.
 Now the new manager of Real Madrid Carlo Anchelotti  wants a  new striker for Real madrid as they  had sold Gonzalo Higuain to Napoli, to replace Edison Cavani.
 So now Real Madrid have targeted two strikers  one is the troublesome player Luis Suarez , who plays his club football  with Liverpool in the E.P.L. the ,other striker on their list is the Colombian  striker Radamel Falcao , who plays his football at Monaco.
 But one thing is clear both will be costly , and their weekly salary is also very high.
And by the way Real Madrid sold Mesut Ozil's , to generate funds to pay for Gareth Bale and Isco.

ARSENAL PREPARE A LONG TIME NEW CONTRACT FOR ARSENE WENGER.

 The Arsenal owner and the board are now planning of renewing  Arsene Wenger  contract, with a long time one to. This was held up for a while, when Arsenal even had 70 million pounds to spend  on new players, but Arsene Wenger  just could not make a single deal come through. Footballers were on the verge of joining  Arsenal, but  due to some reason or the other, did not join it.
 Players like Luis Suarez, Gonzalo Higuain and Gustavo are examples.
But the things  were bad at Arsenal , fans started saying In ARSENE   WENGER WE RUST, when Arsenal lost their first match to Aston Villa 3-1.
But Arsene Wenger who does his transfer as usual in secret and he believes the transfer should be a confidential matter. Made the biggest transfer in Arsenals history  he aid 42.5 million pounds for the German  Mesut  Ozil's  from Real Madrid. He becomes Arsenals highest  paid footballer , with a 150,000 pounds as a weekly salary. He is also the highest  paid German footballer in the E.P.L , as Lukas Podolski  gets only 100,000 pounds as a weekly salary.
And it all happened on the last day of the transfer window.
Arsenal have also promised Arsene Wenger 40 million pounds for the January transfer window.
And we are sure he will sign a new contract. as he is a Arsenal man through and through.Even when Real Madrid, Bayern Munich  wanted him, he honoured his contract.
The fans are singing another song now IN ARSENE WE TRUST.
Arsene Wenger will get 15 million pounds a year.

ZINEDINE ZIDANE SAYS GARETH BALE IS NOT WORTH 86 MILLION POUNDS.

 The great French footballer Zinedine Zidane who also won the world cup for France in the year  1998.And had played for Juventus and Real Madrid  , has come forward  to openly say that Gareth Bale was not at all worth the 86 million pounds , that Real Madrid  paid Tottenham Hotspurs. It was a a far to inflated a rate.
 Real Madrid  are famous to buy footballers at this inflated rates. As long as it is a record they are happy.
But this sale of 86 million pounds had a huge price  as well,  Real Madrid had to sell players as well as Banks in Spain have stopped giving loans to these clubs in Spain.
 And for the matter  Zidane has openly admitted that , when Real Madrid got him from Juventus for a record of 65 million pounds, he was not worth that much at all either.
 Edison Cavani was sold for 55 million , and he also said that he was not at all worth that much money, it is a ridiculous price.
 Now if Zinedine Zidane says Gareth Bale is not worth the 86 million pounds, or 100 million Euros,. Then as Zidane was the sporting director  at Real Madrid  , he should have seen to it that the deal did not go through..

WHEN WILL ENGLAND GET STRIKERS LIKE THESE FIVE STRIKERS.

 Oh when eve will England ever get strikers of these five  strikers? They wee all class and quality..
 They were  as follows, their records stood out.
1) Gary Lineker .
2) Wayne Rooney.
3) Jimmy Greaves.
4) Alan Shearer.
5) Michael Owen.

OZIL SAYS HE WOULD HAVE JOINED ARSENAL EVEN FREE.

 The German  Mesut Ozil  says he would have even joined Arsenal free, because of one man Arsene Wenger.
 Arsene Wenger by the way is a linguist and one language  he speaks very fluently i s german. He spoke fluently  to Mesut Ozil on the phone a few times , he told him what he saw in, what he liked in him and what he expected from him on the pitch. Mind you it was  going on for some time.
 Mesut Ozil was impressed  by the great trust Arsene Wenger showed in him, and half his mind was made up.
Mesut Ozil asked the two German footballers who play for Arsenal  Lukas Podolski and Per Mertersacker for more details of Arsene Wenger and the city of London .
 These two convinced him Arsenal was the place for him a, and he decided to move to Arsenal for a record 42 million pounds, it is both a Arsenal and  German record as well.

THE ENGLISH F.A WANT TO MAKE WORK PERMITS EVEN TOUGHER TO GET

 The English F.A has decided to tighten things up  in granting work permits to footballers, as it has been found out now that the big flood of foreign footballers has strangled the young English players.
 The chairman of the F.A says  they must really act now.
 Even though footballers from the European Union  countries can easily get a work  permit .But it is not so easy for say African, South American or Asian footballers.
 Footballers from these countries will have to play 75 percent of their football  for their national team.. To be then eligible to get a work permit.
But we do see cases of footballers getting a work permit even though they do not fill this criteria .
For example Willian the Brazilian joined Chelsea for 30 million pounds, and mind you he has played  only two games for Brazilian top team, and not 75 percent.How he got it is a mystery, did money play a part.
The new F.A chairman Mr Dykes has said 30 percent of footballers have got a work permit, when they do not qualify for it legally.
 So let us see  why the big concern, in this summer transfer window which closed on 2/9/2013. A total of 630 million pounds were spent on footballers transfer, but only two English footballers  were  got on loan, like Scott Sinclair.And this is a shame

KAKA A RECORD 65 MILLION EURO AND BALLON d OR WINNER TO REAL MADRID BENCH

 Kaka joined Real Madrid for a then record of 65 million Euros, a immensely talented footballer .
 But injuries and the Real madrid managers saw to it that he was sitting on the bench .
  And you can be sure that Gareth Bale   will sooner or later end up warming the bench as well.. Real Madrid just do not care for how much the player has been brought for , or what he has won..
 Here Kaka had won the Ballon D'or , equivalent to the old footballer of the year.. got for 65 million Eros, so they were paying him a very high weekly salary as well, just plain criminal waste of money, not allowing him to play .
 But Kaka is such a gentleman he refuses to blame Jose Mourinho for all the time lost on the bench.

MIROSLAV KLOSE HAS NOW EQUALED GERD MULLER'S RECORD.

 In the world cup qualifiers  for the 2014 world cup in Brazil, Germany won their match 3-0.
 But what will be now remembered by all football fans is that Miroslav Klose   has now equalled the  the record for the most number of goals by a German footballer.
He has now equalled the record of the great Gerd Muller , who had scored 68 goals in all for Germany. And there is every chance of this record breaking soon. As there are still three more games to be played in the world cup qualifiers itself.
 Please kindly note  it was always West Germany in the record books as world cup winners, till the two Germanys were united in the year 1994, and played as one country in the 1994 world cup in the U.S.A

WHO WERE RESPONSIBLE FOR MESUT OZIL'S TRANSFER TO ARSENAL.?

 Arsene Wenger who is a linguist  spoke a lot to Mesut Ozil  about the Arsenal club , and how he would fit right into the starting line up, indeed he spent many hours on the  phone to convince  him to move on this summer.
 Another person who spoke to him for hours about Arsenal, the city of London  and also the night life here , was another German  team mate of Mesut Ozil's .
 He was none other then the German defender Per Mertesacker , he convinced him how good Arsene Wenger was as a manager, more like a fatherly figure to the players, and Lukas Podolski  also supported him  in these claims.
 When the price and weekly salary , along with his personal terms agreed  he willingly joined Arsenal.
 And Ozil saw the team spirit at Arsenal and was indeed pleased, after all you can not buy team spirit at any price.

TOTTENHAM HOTSPURS HAVE DONE REAL CRAZY SPENDING

 It is no secret  Tottenham Hotspurs have done some real crazy spending during this summer transfer window. All in a attempt to reach the forth place  in the E.P.L.. Which sadly they have not reached for years.Let me give one example  of this spending here..
 Arsene Wenger spent 34 million pounds to buy  these three players. They were Lukas Podolski , Oliver Giroud and Santi Cazorla .
 While this year  Tottenham Hotspurs  have spent 34 million pounds on one player , named Lamela.   And Lamela himself  has costed the club 34 million pounds., far to much of spending I must say.
