Champions League Final
May 21, 2008 | 7:22AM | BobbyMcMahon
Not surprisingly Monday’s furour about the Luzhniki Stadium pitch appears to have died away as we now hear that it is going to be just fine. From the equivalent of a neglected public park pitch to no problem in 48 hours – a miracle indeed. ... Read More

Henry14 - I wanted to ask a couple of questions because we had a heated exchange with my friends q1 Do Arsenal need a striker?My argument was that as much as l like Ade you do not get the feeling that he will do it again and l think Wenger is with me when he said he over achieved. Walcott and Bendtner are not consistent and l agree with you he is more of a winger than striker an... Read More

Fergies biggest gamble
Apr 27, 2008 | 8:06PM | Nick_Webster
In theory Manchester United and Sir Alex Ferguson should be
crowned Premier League Champions for the 10th time in two weeks but
if they somehow fail - we’ll never forget the Stamford Bridge blunder.
When you’ve had the success that SAF has had over the last
two decades it’s not easy to critici... Read More

Matt Johnston - Much has been made of the Diaby and Eduardo tackles and I have to voice my agreement that the two are indistinguishable except that Eduardo was unlucky to have had his foot planted.

ZUCO2 - Do you agree with me that the title race in the Serie A is officially open?Bobby – Serie A is like Liga this season – it seems that every time the leader has built a substantial lead they seem to find away to drop points and to cast new doubts on the eventual winner ……again. Inter will finish with way less points than last season (97 points) as they have already dropped 22... Read More
