Lionel persistent injury: a cause for concern?

They re-ignited the pressing game, played total football, wowed us all with brilliant attacking football. Won all there was to win under the tutelage of the Brilliant Pep Guardiola. 2 things made them amazing above all other teams that tried to copy the Barcelona philosophy. The first is their pressing philosophy, that hunger to deprive the opposition of the ball, they did so by hogging the ball for as long as possible then when they lose the ball they fought to have it back like their lives depended on it and the other was the amazing Lionel Messi. He played for four amazing years under Guardiola and got injured just once. He was awesome, winning 3 consecutive ballon d'or, scoring goals, setting records.    Now to the post Guardiola era, Guardiola was replaced by his assistant Tito Villanova. And then the injuries began. He was chasing Gerd Muller's record of most goal scored in a season and was a goal shy from equaling it prior to the Benfica game. Brought in a...

How much can u bet on a match?

By -
  When we talk about passion for football, we know that a lot of people are ardent soccer fans and we also understand that the degree of passion varies from one fan to the other. However, this passion was elevated to the height of insanity by Henry Dhabasani and Rashid Yiga of the Iganga district of Eastern Uganda recently. Dhabasani, an arsenal fan, made a ridiculous wager by putting his house on the match and Rashid, a United fan, followed suit by betting with his wife and a car! They even formalised the deal by signing a written agreement in the presence of community leaders in the build-up to the match.Of course the match has come and gone with Dhabasani rendered homeless alongside his three wives and 5 children. United Robin Van Persie 27th minute goal neatly ensured that. Dhabasani was said to have fainted after the match that ended 1 - 0. Imagine what the United fan would have lost too if the outcome of the match had been otherwise, a car and...God have mercy, h...

The weekend of the unexpected.

By -
   It started with Chelsea vs Westbrom, none of us expected Chelsea to drop points at least not after losing to Newcastle six days earlier but they did and it could have been another defeat if not for a 96th minute controversial penalty and we thought that was all. Then came the Tottenham game and just like their London neighbours they dropped points, all 3 points actually. Not surprising though, considering they have been wasteful in front of goal,9 goals from ten round of matches(prior to the Newcastle game) and it took them an average of fifteen shots on goal to get a goal. They had 31 shots on goal against Newcastle, yet no goal due to their profligacy and the keeper of the opposition. Tim Krul was awesome in goal,he made a total of fourteen saves but Tottenham were wasteful as well and that pretty sums up their season so far.    What happened to the blue side of Manchester? Considering history this result is not a surprise but on current form it i...
