Soccer Limey in America

It has been a season David Moyes’ side has lived up to the expectation to produce some spectacular football and also sweet results. Having been in the race for the Top 4 for most of the season, recent injury crisis and Liverpool’s revival saw them momentarily in a season-low 7th position in the Barclay’s Premier [...]

I penned an article last week for Football.com where I suggested that Brendan Rodgers was at a crucial point in his season with three games against Top 8 opposition within a 15 day period. Following Liverpool’s 2-2 draw today with Manchester City at The Etihad Stadium, it appears that maybe Roberto Mancini has a tougher [...]

Mario Balotelli has been told he has one month to save his spot at Manchester City.  It is no surprise that Mario Balotelli is the most controversial player for Manchester City, but how could a player who has scored 27 goals for City in his first two seasons with the club be demonized and shunned [...]

Over the last several seasons, Spanish teams have usually been the providers of the slick passing type football that the world drools over but tonight in Amsterdam, traditional Dutch masters Ajax served up a clinic to defeat Man City 3-1 and push the English Premier League club to the edge of yet another premature Champions [...]

It’s hard to fathom when looking back to December of last year, as Man City were sitting pretty at the top of the English Premier League, a full 8 points ahead of derby rivals Man Utd, that we would witness such a drastic change of fortune in such a short period of time. Many of [...]

Earlier this morning US Central Time, I made a comment on Twitter whilst watching the Man Utd vs West Brom game from Old Trafford that sometimes proves to be prophetic or makes you look like a complete ass. United were precariously poised at a 1-0 lead whilst Man City were still at a 0-0 deadlock in [...]

In a pulsating affair at The Etihad Stadium today, Man City overpowered Arsenal and registered a 1-0 win to go back to the top of the English Premier League. A resurgent Arsenal side that had forced their way back to the top 10 of the division following a horrific start to the season, were simply [...]

Most likely, fans around the world who don’t have any connection with Manchester either football wise or any other wise, are sick and tired of all the talk and banter surrounding the surprising exits of both Man Utd and Man City from the knockout stages of this year’s UEFA Champions League tournament. Both clubs currently sit on top of [...]
