Posted on 3 May 2013 by Mahmoud Ghellai.
Follow @GhellaiMahmoud The UEFA Champion’s League is one of the world’s most watched and anticipated tournaments, by fans and players alike.

Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea are all strengthening, but are Liverpool the dark horses?
Posted on 20 Aug 2012 by Mahmoud Ghellai.
Not since the days of Abramovich's takeover in Chelsea back in 2003 and the takeover of Manchester City by the oil billions (or trillions?) of the Abu Dhabi Royal family has the EPL experienced such a large expenditure in the transfer market. Arsenal have bucked their recent trend of buying only youth players and saving money with the purchases of Lukas Podolski and Olivier Giroud early on in t...

Is Van Persie worth it for Manchester United?
Posted on 20 Aug 2012 by Mahmoud Ghellai.
On Thursday afternoon Robin Van Persie, captain of English powerhouse Arsenal and top scorer of the EPL last year, will move to major rivals Manchester United for a stunning 235,000 pounds-a-week deal after a 24 million pound deal was agreed between the two clubs. That means that a player that has spent a fair amount of time on the treatment table (last season was his first season playing every...

Soccer Goes Flat For Joe 6-Pack
Posted on 30 May 2011 by Steven Keys.
You’d have thought we were part of the British Commonwealth or lived on the Continent, eating paella, drinking Mahou (beer) while we watched our futbol contests. But in the States we eat burgers, fries & burritos and wash it all down with Miller High Life, while we watch weekend baseball on FOX. Not since hosting the World Cup (‘94) had the US market been so saturated with Euro soccer i...

Posted on 23 Mar 2011 by Justin Welton.
The quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League have been set, and the matchups are intriguing to say the least. Real Madrid vs. Tottenham is a game that should be exciting to watch. There are so many players who are capable of providing that “wow” moment which will draw in the average soccer fan. Tottenham took care of AC Milan 1-0 even without the “Welch Wizard” Gareth Bale in the fi...

ARSENAL CONTINUES THEIR LOSING WAYS AGAINST MANU IN THE FA CUP
Posted on 13 Mar 2011 by Timothy Ashe Jr..
Arsene Wenger featured a bizarre and uncharacteristic Arsenal lineup in Saturday’s FA Cup against the Red Devils at Old Trafford on Saturday. Even though Fabregas (who didn’t play Sat) crushed Lleyton Orient in the previous FA cup match scoring multiple goals, they looked anemic in the midweek CL match where Messi continued to look like a playstation player. The gunners came out f...

Chelsea’s 2-1 victory over Manchester United has sparked life into the English Premier League title race giving Arsenal another chance to close the gap at the top having failed to take advantage of United’s loss to Wolverhampton Wanderers.

EPL midseason review of 1-4
Posted on 5 Jan 2011 by Allan Jiang.
One word defines Manchester United’s progress at midseason point – unbeaten. The football United have played has been lacklustre however Sir Alex Ferguson has encapsulated a winning mentality, the mentality which has allowed United to rescue solitary points against Fulham and Aston Villa whilst winning ugly against Wolverhampton Wanderers and Arsenal. Wayne Rooney’s form has been well be...

End of Year 2010 European Power Rankings
Posted on 30 Dec 2010 by Robert Bode.
In the final edition of the 2010 European Soccer Power Rankings, it isn't surprising the top two teams hail from Spain, the nation who won the World Cup this past summer. After the 5-0 drubbing of Real Madrid in “El Clasico,” Barcelona proved they are right now far and away the best club in the world, and this group of Blaugrana is playing at a level the sport has rarely seen. 43 po...

Chelsea could fall 5 points behind the leaders if Manchester United win their game in hand. What can be made of Chelsea’s bad run as Chelsea fans have to be asking what’s going wrong? ...

Clear as Mud: Is the Premier League meeting parity?
Posted on 11 Nov 2010 by Mark Adamson.
Now with every team in the Premier League having played 12 games, normally we would begin to see some indication as to what to expect at the end of the season, however all we see right now is parity. Outside of the top 4, which most people would have picked, there are 13 teams separated by no more than 6 points. Newcastle, Sunderland and Bolton all hold positions in top 10 and all have had big ...

European Club Power Rankings #3
Posted on 27 Oct 2010 by Robert Bode.
1. Real Madrid – In their last four matches, Real has won 6-1, 4-1, 2-0 against AC Milan in the Champions League, and 6-1 again. Cristiano Ronaldo has been in blistering form, and the scariest thing is Los Blancos seem to be getting better each week (although their 0-0 tie against Murcia in Copa del Rey action shows their depth is a minor concern). 2. Chelsea – If not for Real Madrid, Chel...
