Is This Really Rafa’s Fault?

By: Dave Martinez | Comments 21 Comments

This was the face that told the story, as Liverpool was stunned at Craven Cottage yesterday, taking a 3-1 loss with them into their Champions League clash against Lyon this Wednesday. (So much for that Manchester United revival, huh guys?)
The loss thrusts the spotlight back on Rafa Benitez. But is such scrutiny deserved? [...]

The Body Language of an Upset.

By: chris | Comments 3 Comments

There were three somewhat major cup exits yesterday. Three second division or lower sides which took their Cinderella moment and cashed it in: the much discussed Alcorcon thrashing of grand Real Madrid; Furth downing the apparently unfireable Markus Babbel and epic disappointers Stuttgart; and Borussia Dortmund gifting three goals and a win to Osnabruck, who [...]

Caption This: Michel Platini Thinks You’re Sexy.

By: chris | Comments 7 Comments

We’re going through a technical update which should hopefully result in no snags whatsoever – hope being the key word. Apologies in advance if the Earth ceases revolving around the sun.
Take a poke at Michel Platini. Because he wants to take a poke at you.

Photo: Michel Platini’s Personal Hell.

By: chris | Comments 4 Comments

Michel looks the part of a man preferring the gallows as he’s caught in the cross(hot)winds of his two favorite people, Fergie & Arsene. Do you suppose they were discussing cupcake recipes?
This occurred during the 11th Elite Coaches Conference in Nyon this afternoon; there is no possibility that anything in the previous ten topped this [...]

Oops.
It’s not bad – 3 weeks for a fractured hand which requires surgery – but who likes blowing an obscenee amount of cash (& Cameroonian) for a new car only to have to bring it to the auto repair shop the very next morning?

These must be the wedding pictures every little girl dreams of. “This is me in my white dress and this is my husband scared out of his mind.”
As a bonus, Robinho spots something slightly noteworthy somewhere over there after the jump.

Photo: This is a Joke, Right Rio? … Rio?

By: Daryl | Comments 12 Comments

Either:
a) Rio Ferdinand has decided tight denim shorts and weird crop tops look good on him. In which case he’s insane.
b) Rio Ferdinand is very much looking forward to the opening of BrĂ¼no next month.
c) Rio Ferdinand is having a sly (but presumably friendly) dig at soon to be ex-teammate Cristiano Ronaldo.

Photo: Berbatov Gets A Gift.

By: chris | Comments 1 Comment

Simba is an Italian porn star who, presumably, is a big fan of both the Lion King and Dimitar Berbatov – and you thought those two were mutually exclusive, didn’t you. She likes Berba so much that she decided to paint him as a gift, which he will soon receive, amongst other things, surely, in [...]
