Defense. It’s considered by many to be the most important element of football.
You can score as many goals as you like but if you can’t keep them out of your net then you’ll be no better than the teams losing 1-0 and 2-1 every week. You’ll both end up getting relegated.

Football is riddled with so many clichés that if they were diseases the sport would probably die ten times over.
Yet this weekend what occurred in the English FA Cup showed that one such cliché is still one hundred per cent acceptable to use.
“The magic of the FA Cup.”
This weekend saw such play; such [...]

Alex Ferguson is no stranger to infusing his squad with new blood and wielding the axe on senior players. Over the years, his risk taking on team selection had resulted in handsome rewards and some spectacular failures.
While the jury is still out for his latest bet on Michael Owen, nobody will debate the [...]

What appears to be the end may really be a new beginning. In its opening game of the 2009 Premier League season, Arsenal demolished Everton 6-1 in a scintillating display of attacking football. This was supposed to be a stiff challenge, after all Everton had the discipline and consistency to finish fifth for [...]

There is a price for everything. Sir Alex Ferguson declared indignantly in December that he wouldn’t sell the Real Madrid mob a virus, not to mention his crowning jewel, Cristiano Ronaldo, but when an astronomical £80 million check is waved enticingly, principles can be swayed.
Last week, Real Madrid shocked the football community with [...]

And so another season came to a close in Serie A in what turned out to be an exciting campaign in Italy despite all the controversy in recent years. Let’s recall that the Renaissance was born into and bequeathed a brilliant cultural and historical legacy amidst much political chaos. It’s the Italian way.

So the curtain is down on another exciting Premier League season, full of thrills spills, joy and torment. A few weeks ago on this site I gave my predictions on how the season would turn out. So how did I do?
Well I don’t think I deserve a medal for correctly predicting that Manchester United would [...]

As a neutral observer of the 2nd leg match between Barcelona and Chelsea, please allow me to convey my sober but middling and borderline lexaphanic thoughts given the passionate explosiveness witnessed.
The match ended 1-1 but Barcelona marches on Rome (to the Spanish Steps I assume) thanks to an away goal at Stamford Bridge. In magnificent [...]
