Chelsea cannot win on penalties

Chelsea cannot win on penaltiesChelsea cannot afford to let the Champions League final go to penalties. It is an English side against a German one - on Bayern's home pitch. There is only one winner there. Although Bayern's penalties weren't brilliant against Real Madrid … Continue reading →

Learning from past is key to City future

Learning from past is key to City futureIt may have taken right up until the final seconds of the season to decide it, but you have to say that Manchester City fully deserve their Premier League title. The football they have played, some of the goals they … Continue reading →

Fergie’s mind games are meaningless

Fergie’s mind games are meaninglessSir Alex Ferguson has gone big on the 'mind games' ahead of the Premier League finale tomorrow, but I do not think his comments will have any effect on Manchester City or QPR. He has effectively tried to deliver Mark … Continue reading →

Lack of quality has cost United

Lack of quality has cost UnitedHow did Manchester United get into a position where they will likely lose the title? Well, you can state the obvious and say the 4-4 draw at home to Everton when they let slip a two-goal lead late on, but … Continue reading →

Di Matteo set for final flourish

Di Matteo set for final flourishLeading Chelsea out at Wembley for the FA Cup final on Saturday will no doubt be a very proud moment for Roberto Di Matteo, but the next couple of weeks will only be a final flourish in his brief career … Continue reading →

Derby winners will lift the title
This evening's Manchester derby has been billed as possibly the biggest game in the history of the Premier League. Given how close we are to the end of the season, with United and City still battling for the title, it … Continue reading →

Superior spirit has Newcastle on course for fourth
Everyone has at least half an eye on Monday's huge Manchester derby at the Etihad Stadium, but there are plenty of other big Premier League fixtures to come before that potential title-decider this weekend. Newcastle, Tottenham and Chelsea are all … Continue reading →

Ball back in City’s court
After another pivotal weekend of results at the top of the Premier League table, I think that Manchester City now have the advantage in the title race. I would peg them as slight favourites ahead of leaders Manchester United simply … Continue reading →

Chelsea must win, but can they without Drogba?
Chelsea have to beat Arsenal at the Emirates on Saturday, it's as simple as that. They have to come fourth to get back into the Champions League hunt as there's far from any guarantee they'll get past Barca, let alone … Continue reading →

Banning divers like Young is only way to stop them
When I saw Ashley Young go down theatrically in the box under Ciaran Clark's challenge against Aston Villa on Sunday, my first reaction was sheer embarrassment. I felt embarrassed for Young for his brazen attempt to win a penalty, for … Continue reading →

Complacent United got what they deserved
I was as surprised as anyone that Wigan managed to pull off a win against Manchester United during the week. But I have to say that United got what they deserved. You realised how bad United were when you saw … Continue reading →

Referees addressing media a bad idea
The Easter weekend fixtures saw some truly appalling decisions by referees in the Premier League. The penalty awarded to Manchester United for a 'foul' which saw QPR's Shaun Derry sent off and Branislav Ivanovic's goal for Chelsea against Wigan which … Continue reading →

League still the priority for Chelsea
Chelsea may have a Champions League semi-final against Barcelona to look forward to but their top priority should be the bitter battle they face to qualify for the competition again next season. The most important thing is the Premier League … Continue reading →

Carroll is not a Liverpool player
Sunday was a humiliating experience for Andy Carroll on his return to Newcastle. Not only because of his ridiculous dive in the first half, but also thanks to the way in which he was substituted by Kenny Dalglish. Carroll's decision … Continue reading →

Vieira behaviour embarrassing for City
Patrick Vieira has been vocal in the press again this week and I think his comments about referees supposedly showing favouritism to Manchester United are embarrassing for the officials and supporters of Manchester City. I think Vieira must have forgotten … Continue reading →

Questioning Dalglish’s reign is justified
On the face of it, Wigan's 2-1 win at Liverpool on Saturday was a surprise result. To be honest, considering the meagre handful of victories they have secured this season, any occasion on which the Latics pick up three points … Continue reading →

City’s integrity damaged over Tevez
It probably won't surprise you to hear that I agree with Sir Alex Ferguson's comments about Manchester City bringing Carlos Tevez back into the fold for the title run-in. Ferguson has responded to Patrick Vieira's claims earlier in the week … Continue reading →

No one would blame Bolton for withdrawing
Like everyone else in football I was shocked by the news that Fabrice Muamba suffered a cardiac arrest on the pitch at White Hart Lane on Saturday. In some respects it is incomprehensible: how can you explain a 23-year-old player … Continue reading →

United better poised to fight back from Euro heartache
For all the pre-emptive talk of an all-Manchester final in the Europa League, both United and City deserved to go out of the competition this week. Both Athletic Bilbao and Sporting Lisbon deserve the credit they have got, but you … Continue reading →

Mancini not in Mourinho’s class
The balance has tipped Manchester United's way in the Premier League title race, and City face a real test of their mettle over the final 10 games. The key to success at the business end of the season is experience. … Continue reading →

Not falling for Bale’s dive denial
Tottenham have seen their grip on third place loosened in the past fortnight by defeats in big games. They have developed a habit of underperforming when the pressure is on, and as the season comes to its conclusion that pressure … Continue reading →

Player power still rules at Chelsea
Andre Villas-Boas's sacking from Chelsea at the weekend is another victory for player power at the club. While the results were poor for the Portuguese coach — he had both the lowest win percentage and points-per-game average of any Chelsea … Continue reading →

Pep or Jose for England? Don’t make me laugh
I was bemused to read in some newspapers on Friday morning that the Football Association has widened its search for a new manager to include Real Madrid's Jose Mourinho and Barcelona's Pep Guardiola. There is absolutely no way either of … Continue reading →

Redknapp lacks tactical nous for England job
The FA should look closely at Harry Redknapp's tactics as they prepare to appoint the next England manager. Poor defending from both sides made for an entertaining North London derby, and Arsenal showed some good fight to come back from … Continue reading →

Cup success crucial for Dalglish to survive
Sunday's Carling Cup final against Cardiff City at Wembley is a huge game for Liverpool given they have suffered so much disappointment over the past six years, but it could also be critical in determining the future of Kenny Dalglish. … Continue reading →

Players to blame for Chelsea woes, not AVB
It is said that Andre Villas-Boas has to lead Chelsea to a victory against Napoli over two legs to save his job, but the real factor undermining the club's season is not the shortcomings of their manager, but the stubbornness … Continue reading →

FA Cup a distraction from Champions League race
I hate to say it, but none of the top teams still in the FA Cup should be treating the competition as their priority. The two Manchester clubs are out, which leaves Tottenham, Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool as the biggest … Continue reading →

English football wouldn’t miss Suarez
Given the negative publicity surrounding events at Old Trafford on Saturday, and Liverpool's current predicament in the league, I won't be surprised at all if Luis Suarez is not a Reds player at the start of next season. Reports on … Continue reading →

Stuart Pearce is not a racist
I could not help but find the front pages of some of Friday's newspapers anything other than embarrassing. Stuart Pearce has only just been named as England's caretaker manager, and already the press have dredged up some story from years … Continue reading →

Sack Capello now and bring in new blood
The FA should take another brave decision and fire Fabio Capello after he undermined their authority in the latest episode of this John Terry saga. Capello's comments to Italian TV — when he said he completely disagreed with the decision … Continue reading →

Terry should never have regained armband
Yesterday they celebrated Groundhog Day in the US, a term which has come to mean living the same day over and over again. It certainly feels as though we are going through the same motions today following the news that … Continue reading →

Take De Gea out of the limelight
The dust has finally settled on Manchester United's FA Cup defeat to Liverpool, and there can be little doubt that Sir Alex Ferguson's greatest concern will be David De Gea. It was not really the Spaniard's errors that were the … Continue reading →

Evra can cope with Anfield abuse
I think Patrice Evra has the character to deal with whatever is thrown at him when Manchester United visit Liverpool in the FA Cup on Saturday and I don't think he will let any abuse from the stands affect him. … Continue reading →

Balotelli must be punished severely
It is such a shame that Mario Balotelli's apparent stamp on Scott Parker has overshadowed what was an exciting 3-2 win for Manchester City over Tottenham on Sunday. One of the biggest matches in the Premier League this season — … Continue reading →

AVB’s B team plan is a disgrace
If Chelsea manager Andre Villas-Boas has his way and the top clubs are allowed to enter B teams into the league ladder at the expense of existing Football League sides it would be an absolute embarrassment to English football. One … Continue reading →

Arsenal beaten at their own game
After Arsenal's 3-2 defeat at Swansea on Sunday, Thierry Henry took issue with one travelling supporter's criticism of his team. I don't know what it was the fan said to Henry, but assuming it was nothing abusive or unreasonable then … Continue reading →

Moaning Mancini doing no good
Manchester City have hit a period of patchy form recently and Roberto Mancini is not helping the situation by publicly moaning all the time. He is surpassing even Arsene Wenger in the whingeing stakes at present. Firstly he was complaining … Continue reading →

Scholes legacy in jeopardy
I was as surprised as anyone else to hear the news that Paul Scholes had come out of retirement and was back in the Manchester United squad for Sunday's FA Cup clash at Manchester City. There had been reports on … Continue reading →

Time for United to man up
It's a bit much to call Manchester United a club in crisis, but such are their standards that two defeats in a row will lead to such talk. It is nearly three years since they lost three games in a … Continue reading →

AVB must have mandate for change
You don't want to believe the stories about discord at Chelsea, but there is so much negative stuff coming out of Stamford Bridge on an almost daily basis, it is hard not to conclude there is something in it. Tabloid … Continue reading →
