Tottenham lose once again! This time to Portsmouth. Defoe scored the first goal(P) against his former club after Jenas brilliantly handled the ball in the box. Crouch added the second. Spurs are without a win in their last six and apparently are strong relegation candidates. Adding to their misery, they have lesser points than even what DERBY had last season!

Tottenham now find themselves last in the table after giving their usual “finishing in the top four” threats before the season. Perhaps, we are bored of those claims now, as they are rather hilarious!

Come this way to commiserate with poor Spurs!

Today at Old Trafford Manchester United won the game 2 goals to nil against Bolton. Cristiano Ronaldo finally played to his potential and showed his class that he displayed the whole of last season by having a go at the goal many a times before finally netting the ball from the spot at the stroke of the hour after he was brought down by Samuel. Bolton were clearly miffed with the decision and TV replays did justify their unhappiness as it clearly showed that the defender played the ball when he slid into Ronaldo. Bolton did put a good show and gave a tough time to SAF’s boys with their efforts to break the dead-lock in the first half and good defending to keep the United strikers in check for a long time. Rooney’s exchange of passes with Ronaldo and his brilliant strike was an indication of his return to form. Manchester United did play brilliant football in the last 15 minutes to create enough chances for a couple of more goals but unfortunately failed to convert.

Berbatov - United’s £32m purchase this season was clearly outshone by Ronaldo and looked out of place till the Portuguese international was substituted and ONLY played well then.

Our Question: Did SAF make a mistake by buying Berbatov as he is clearly having problems adjusting him in the forward line-up with Rooney, Tevez and most importantly Crisitiano Ronaldo who is at least playing this season for the Champions?!?

So what according to you bloggers is the future of Newcastle United?

Hint: They have a temporary manager and a chairman with NO interest in the club. They lie in the relegation zone. Oh and most importantly, fans expect Silverware!

After apparently being rejected by 17 managers, Newcastle have finally appointed Joe Kinnear as their new boss but on short-term basis. Newcastle have been without a manager since the past few games.

Much to the discontent of Newcastle fans, Kevin Keegan has walked out of the club and his chances of returning are slim till the time Mike Ashley is owner.

Also, interim manager Kinnear claims that if and when Ashley gets a buyer for the club, Keegan and Alan Shearer will take over. He said, “I understand investors are about to buy the club, Mike Ashley told me openly. I will be here for 6-8 games.” Kinnear has previously managed Luton, Forest and WImbledon.

Not only are Newcastle United in their usual bottom half of the table but also are out of the Carling cup now. They are not in the Uefa cup and champions league was NEVER an option. Tottenham claimed their first domestic win of the season last night after defeating the Magpies 2-1 at their own ground. Adding to their misery, they have a manager who is NOT really very good(and he’s not even there apparently) and an owner who was never interested. Also, Newcastle currently lie in the relegation zone and are apparently one of the favourites to play in the championship next season!

Newcastle might be taken over by a Nigerian Group and there is speculation that Terry Venables might be their next manager. Waow. Terry Venables, the Englishman who has changed 11 club/country jobs in 18 years. Most importantly, EVEN he has rejected them now!

So what worse can happen for poor Newcastle?

Come this way to laugh at them!

So the UEFA president has been on English football’s case ever since his appointment in 2006 as the UEFA supremo. He has obviously made that pretty evident after his recent comments on Arsenal. Platini recently commented on Wenger’s suggestion of introducing video replays to rule on questionable refereeing decisions, calling him a businessman and not a football manager. This is not the first time Platini has commented on the happenings of English football, or on Arsene himself. In the recent past he has made comments such as Arsenal does not have English players and an English manager and may soon not even have an English president directly taking a cheap dig at Wenger. His comments on English football have also not been welcomed by English fans and clubs, comments on the fourth place spot for a UEFA Champions League berth, the money pumped into English football by foreign investors(read Americans), the huge debts that teams like Manchester United and Chelsea have run into , his heavy criticism of the proposal for a possible 39th game calling it a money making business rather than football, and also his demeaning of England’s bid to host the 2018 WC.

So the question is will Platini ever get over his Anti-Englishness ?

So who will win it?? Would it be a Chelsea side which is looking steady at the top of the premiership or would it be a struggling United side which is lagging behind with just 4 points? If Chelsea are to win this one, the gap between Chelsea-United would be increased to an interesting 9 points, with United having a game in hand.

1989-90: Liverpool’s last league title. 1992-The Premier League era starts and since then Liverpool have yet to win a title. The main reason for this would be thier lack of consistency in a single season, let aside thier performance over a decade. After defeating Man Utd at home last weekend, Liverpool should have easily beaten newly promoted Stoke City. But no, they somehow manage to draw the game. Other than Gerrard’s goal which was disallowed due to unknown reasons Liverpool didn’t really do anything to force a gaol and clinch the game. The problem, as described by most of the fans and experts lies in the attacking department. People in Merseyside want Owen back, badly. We wonder what Liverpool fans have to say about thier lacklustre performance against the newbies? Liverpool somehow manage to blow it all away every single season i.e when they have a good start in the first place. They had a very good chance of going 3 points clear off the Blues but with a dismal performance they stay back. The question really is that will Liverpool- proudly part of the Big Four, ever be able to win the title again ? We don’t really think so. Considering thier performance last season - barely managing to secure the fourth spot, Liverpool’s target this year would be to maybe secure the fourth place rather easily !?!

Chelsea manager Luiz Scolari claims that Sunday’s encounter against Manchester United would not be a revenge mission - apparently he has not even seen a video of last year’s final. United became champions of Europe last season after they defeated Chelsea in the penalty shoot-out.

Scolari also shares a working relationship with Sir Alex and it is apparently being said that the Chelsea boss would present SAF with a bottle of vine.

Scolari said, “after the game, we’ll have some vine.” He also mentioned that SAF does not like Portuguese vine since he did not have it Jose Mourinho.
