Gameweek 2 – Disruption

0
Greetings faithful following, and welcome to a somewhat late review of this past Bank Holiday weekend's exciting action. Many factors (ok, one factor: beer) have delayed the writing of this wrap-up, but suffice to say that the editorial whip has been cracked and it will not be happening again.

Manchester United defender no fan of English rain and ‘is thinking about Spain’

1
Put it this way, these comments aren't going to be appearing in the latest tourist brochure for Manchester. Cristiano Ronaldo has already had plenty to say on rainy England, claiming that it's the worst thing about being a Manchester United player (surely the fat salary and amazing lifestyle go some .

Bana Müsade

1
Dobra futbolcuları severim. Duygusal olmazlar, düşüncelerini pat diye söylerler. Bazen tepki de almaları bu nedenle doğaldır, zira çoğu kez söylediklerini duyanlar 'taraf'tır. Vidic Manchester United'a geldiğinde bu kerte başarılı olacağını düşünmüyordum. Cuk oturan bir Ferguson transferi oldu. Click to continue reading...

Uzbekistan Gets Its Man

4
Credit goes where credit is due: FC Bunyodkor is not fucking around. Earlier in the summer you may remember they'd announced they had signed Samuel Eto'o on a six month contract, who went along with the ruse and even flew out to Uzbekistan for the royal treatment at the club's facilities before hunkering back to [.

Our Best Midfield Four - Who Is It?

2
There is always apprehension ahead of travelling to Fratton Park due to their recent good history against us. When looking at the players we had available to us, the worries increased. No Ryan Giggs, Nani, Cristiano Ronaldo, Park Ji-Sung, Michael Carrick and Owen Hargreaves, with Anderson supposedly exhausted after 6 games in 18 matches in China. Click to continue reading...

Ronaldo Modest As Always

2
When Kaka was named European and World Player of the Year last season, I argued that they'd got the wrong player. In 06-07, Cristiano Ronaldo had a superior number of both goals and assists to Kaka, despite playing in fewer games. Ronaldo was doing the business for United week in week out in the league, [.

Portsmouth Have The Ref In Their Pocket!

1
Following our victory over Portsmouth in the Community Shield, I asked the question, tongue in cheek, whether Portsmouth paid off the refs when playing against United. In our past few matches we have seen Carlos Tevez rugby tackled in the box, whilst Cristiano Ronaldo was shoulder charged, without any consequence, then last night, Wayne Rooney [.

Word On The Street… Ron Not Happy About Chant

5
"Viva Ronaldo, viva Ronaldo, running down the wing, hear United sing, viva Ronaldo," our fans sung every week, with the chant becoming a bit of an anthem during the second half of the season. Ronaldo was on fire, scoring pretty much every match, and every week his song got louder and heartier. We were closing [. Click to continue reading...

Pistolas FC to take on Silver in Round 1

0
MARKHAM - Well, the regular season is over and now the elimination playoffs begin. It's do or die time, and it'll take 4 wins to claim the coveted Centennial Cup Championship.

After the games were completed and the standings set, there were two ties. Pistolas FC and Limeys FC tied for 3rd overall, but in head to head action Limeys FC won both its matches against a short benched PFC squad, and therefore wins the tie breaker for third. Click to continue reading...

PFC Drops Last Regular Season Game

0
MARKHAM - After winning the last 5 straight games and 8 of their last 10, Pistolas FC dropped the last game of the regular season 2-1 to Silver.

Playing their 2nd game in 4 nights, the team looked sluggish all around showing only few signs of determination.

But with the previous game ending in a lopsided 6-1 Titans FC over Limeys FC, the boys in black weren't as pressed into a must win situation and experimented with an unusual lineup. Click to continue reading...

Huh? Manchester United manager losing hope of landing Spurs striker

There are only a handful of days before the transfer window slams shut and Manchester United don't seem particularly close to bringing in a new striker. The Red Devils managed to land the Premier League last season with the attacking talents of Ronaldo, Tevez and Rooney, although the absence of ... Click to continue reading...

Real Madrid Allow Robinho To Leave Real Madrid

1
Real Madrid have finally met the demands of Robinho and will allow the player to leave the club. It will be interesting to see who moves for the Brazilian star, with Chelsea having been strongly linked in the summer. Manchester United were apparently after him as a possible Ronaldo placement, should the Portuguese star have [. Click to continue reading...

According to reports, a Manchester United player who goes by the name Cristiano Ronaldo has just returned to light training. I was curious, so I looked up Wikipedia and did my research about this player because, you know, it's always good to get your facts right about lesser known players. I found out that [.

PICTURES: ‘Miserable’ Ronaldo Back In United Training

Sir Alex Ferguson announced that Cristiano Ronaldo's return is ahead of schedule, which is great news for us, considering the players we are currently missing (Owen Hargreaves, Michael Carrick, Nani, Anderson, Park Ji-Sung, Ryan Giggs...). "Ronaldo's maybe a little bit ahead of schedule," said Ferguson. Click to continue reading...

Burning Bridges

0
He's been unsettled all summer. Who would have guessed that Real Madrid's chasing of Cristiano Ronaldo would have the effect, not of bringing the Portuguese winger to Madrid, but of driving away one of last season's fans' (and the readers of this blog's) favourites?

It's been on the cards since Wagner Ribeiro, Robinho's agent, said last month that the player felt "undervalued" and that there was interest from Chelsea. Click to continue reading...

The Story Behind Arshavin’s “Slavery”

2
A couple weeks ago Andrei Arshavin's agent went on a bit of a tirade, joining the masses suffering from skewed perception and labeled his client a "slave". We all know Andrei, just like Cristiano Ronaldo, is not a slave - it was simply agent speak, more commonly known as "bullshit" - but we didn't know [. Click to continue reading...

Pistolas FC Enjoy Heavy Up Top

TORONTO - It has been a very different year in the world of Pistolas FC.

Last year, the team finished in 8th out of 10 teams, struggling in the league, before gelling late in the season and late into the playoffs culmintaing with winning the championship.

But this year the team has enjoyed some league success, and after a slow first four games, have rebounded strong and won their last 4 straight and 7 of their last 9 games. Click to continue reading...
