Berbatov Number One in Manchester United

Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson announced that he considers Dimitar Berbatov to be the most valuable player in Manchester United this season. Ferguson keeps praising Berbatov’s skills on the field.

Nevertheless Berbatov needed quite some time to win the hearts of the fans. But it seems that after Rooney’s sex scandal and the rumours around him, it is time for Berbatov to shine. Dimitar was constantly criticised for being moody, and he was even called “a lazy boy”. His recent More

Lee Westwood - The New Champion Golfer

A fresh new story that added to the British honour is Lee Westwood’s topmost rank among the golf players in the world. Years after Nick Faldo’s number one title, the British golf sensation managed to hit the number one spot by ending Tiger Wood’s reign as the topmost player of golf.

The German golfer, Martin Kaymer, who recently became the US PGA champion, lost to Westwood in European Tour’s Analucia Masters tournament and gave him a clear lead. Westwood who More

Before the Reds vs Spurs

Manchester United v Tottenham Hotspur is the game that many anticipated during the previous weeks. Both teams would have a tough opponent against and definitely the match would be some of the clashes of this half of the season.

Definitely, at this point, Tottenham are the more interesting team at the moment. The Spurs have greatly improved their game and we even saw some incredible performances by Redknap’s team - like the spectacular 3 goals against Inter Milan in the More

Premiership Parachute Payments

The Premiership is heralded by many as the best football league in the world and although most major European leagues have some ‘super clubs’, there is no doubt that the pace, aggression and competitiveness of the English game is viewed as a baptism of fire by many foreign players. The old adage that there are no easy games in the premiership is particularly relevant this season with newly promoted teams like Blackpool showing More

Kovy makes a deal with the Devils

Ilya Kovalchuk has finally, after many months of back and forth negotiations and arbitration hearings, signed for the New Jersey Devils. This, I’m sure, is a relief for not only Kovalchuk (whom, btw, I actually met once in a Hotel in Looe!), but for the Devils as well who have been desperate to get their man for a long time. The deal is reportedly worth around $100 million and will last for 15 years. Kovalchuk will make the first More

Saints’ fall from grace.

A few turbulent years have manged to cause the fall of one of English Football’s biggest clubs. Of course, Southampton are not at the levels of Newcastle or Manchester United, but they are a big club on the south coast. They were a constant presence in the top flight for 27 years. There are few clubs who can boast that statistic. However, in recent times, for one reason or another, things have gotten gradually worse for the Saints to the More

Southampton 0 – 1 Plymouth Argyle

The first game of the League 1 season kicked off today and featured two of the favourites for the League 1 title. Southampton have been undergoing a big rebuild over the last few years after enduring some pretty torrid times. Plymouth, on the other hand, are looking to bounce straight back up to the Championship after suffering relegation last season.

Both teams have tried to strengthen as much as they can during the summer transfer window and will no doubt More

Champions League Debut

Watching Spur’s debut Champions League game was a great testament to Harry Redknapp and his Managerial skills. Watching it with a beer in hand, all I can say for Redknapp’s tactical decisions is - good call. it was to be no pushover drawing SV Werder Bremen away. With Peter Crouch stepping in for an injured Jermaine Defoe, he was able to impart his experience of the glorious competition from his Liverpool days. The game opened with an own goal More

Hammers Snub Parker Bid

West Ham have recently snubbed a bid from Tottenham Hotspur for Scott Parker, their highly rated, and hard working, central midfielder. Parker has great experience in the Premier League having had spells at Newcastle United and Chelsea and always bring with him a professional and never-say-die attitude. He is a commanding central midfielder who isn’t afraid to put in the tackles and shout his orders to the rest of his team. Tottenham could do with such a player and Harry More
