by David on December 3, 2011

Manchester City remain five points clear at the top of the Premier League, while the three big London clubs; Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal, all got important wins.

Sergio Agüero’s clever 32nd-minute poke complemented after the break by Samir Nasri’s free-kick and Yaya Touré’s strike. Steve Morison reduced arrears but substitutes Mario Balotelli and Adam Johnson replied. City remain five points ahead of Man United, who won 1-0 at Aston Villa thanks to a Phil Jones goal.  Read more... (222 words, 1 image, estimated 53 secs reading time)

Man United Stunned In Carling Cup By Palace

by David on November 30, 2011

Palace Ultras FlagThere will be no dream Carling Cup semi-final match-up for Manchester United fans with Man City or Liverpool as United were unceremoniously bounced from the cup tonight by Crystal Palace 2-1 at Old Trafford after extra time. This was not a case of United battering Palace for 120 minutes and them escaping. Palace played well and deserved to win!

If you have been watching United play for the last month or so, tonight’s result is not that surprising. United have been struggling to score goals and create chances, but have managed to win games 1-0 to keep in touch of league leaders City. But at some point it had to catch up with United and tonight it did.  Read more... (343 words, 2 images, estimated 1:22 mins reading time)

Real Madrid Through To Champions League Knockout Stages

by David on November 2, 2011

Real Madrid maintained their perfect record in Group D and strolled into the round of 16, while Inter Milan and Bayern Münich both took giant steps towards the knockout stages.

Two goals from Cristiano Ronaldo in each half, a trademark free-kick and a penalty, were more than enough for Real Madrid as they beat Lyon 2-0 to make it four wins out of four in the Champions League this season, and they join Barcelona and AC Milan in looking up a round of 16 place with two games to spare. Behind Madrid are Ajax, who turned on the style in a 4-0 win against bottom club Dinamo Zagreb. Later this month, Ajax will meet Lyon in France in a game that could decide who finishes second in the group.  Read more... (423 words, 1 image, estimated 1:42 mins reading time)
