Luis Suarez is going to become another in that long line of superstars who spent their formative footballing years being molded in Amsterdam.

Arsenal made the return up north to face a team that has posed so many problems in the past. But this was an Arsenal team that had an ascendant Theo Walcott brimming with confidence and newly found decision making skills. You could see it in the way he asserted himself in the match.

Blackburn was at the receiving end with Walcott laying down a crisp pass to the flying Dutchman who had the honour of notching up Arsenal's first strike.

Everyday, we are bombarded by news on the economic slowdown, housing mortgage crisis, credit squeeze and high inflation... add them up and we see a troubling picture of pay-cuts and unemployment looming ahead. However, most superstars in the Premier League have no idea what a recession means. If anything, they will be clamoring for fatter pay [. Click to continue reading...

Hello all. I'm still alive if anyone was wondering, I just haven't had a good chance to write in ages. Since I last posted we won 3-0 against Newcastle which was a great result, and the transfer window closed last night. I waited up watching the news tickers on and off all day hoping for Xabi Alonso, or anyone else for that matter, and it just never happened. Click to continue reading...

We've decided we're going to buy a football team. Maybe a random club in Turkmenistan or something. Somewhere that we can truly start from scratch, and there, we're going to assemble a team with the sole task of gifting Champions League football to superstars currently resigned to UEFA Cup action. Finally time to do some [. Click to continue reading...

The annual August friendly is not really something Azzurri fans look forward too. In Italy, people are away vacationing at the beach and therefore are not in front of the televisions watching the game. In addition to that, the August friendly every two years takes place after a major tournament, which means we usually get to see a new manager in his first game in charge, experimenting with new tactics, players, and playing style.

Morning all. Not a lot of news following the demolition of Burgenland yesterday. Cesc Fabregas came out and killed off anyone saying that he was going to Real Madrid, in fact saying that he made no statement about Madrid at all. Good work from Cesc yet again. I think he does everything well, football, handling the press, his hair, etc. Click to continue reading...

Like any sport, football has a soft romantic underbelly. One of the reasons the FA Cup is held in much higher regard than any other knockout competition in this country is the notion of a group of part-time binmen triumphing against the mega-rich Premier League superstars. Running this a close second is the rags-to-riches tale [. Click to continue reading...

Brett Emerton, 29, has signed for Blackburn for four more years. And Josip Skoko, 32, has gone back to play in Croatia for Hadjuk Split.
Fair enough. But don't come back to the A-League Emo and Josip after these contracts run out. You'll be too old, too slow.


Emo has talked about playing in Sydney while he still has something left. Click to continue reading...

This recent article by Billy Witz in the New York Times completely misses the whole point of why David Beckham is in MLS. How many fans showed up at Giants Stadium yesterday to watch the Los Angeles Galaxy play the New York Red Bulls? What is the average attendance for the New York Red Bulls' games? How many fans would have showed up if David Beckham wasn't playing for the Los Angeles Galaxy? Click to continue reading...

Ronaldinho has joined Milan for €21 million. OH MEELAHN. WHY. Haven't they learned their lesson about overweight Brazilian former superstars? I mean, if they Milan medical team can keep Paolo Maldini's geriatric knees ticking along, then theoretically they can do anything, but still. And it's not like they needed another midfielder anyway.

I know economics is supposed to be all rational and whatnot, but the just-compiled league table of top-earning footballers calls the dismal science into question. Or, at least, points to a paradox: a striking number of the top boys are totally past their prime as players. I'm not saying D. Becks or old Henry don't still offer some value on the field, because they obviously do. Click to continue reading...

Born July 4th, 1926, in Buenos Aires, Alfredo di Stefano began his football career with River Plate at the age of 17 and won 6 trophies in his first 12 years playing in Argentina and later Columbia.
