Fantasy Perez 'in' for Real Madrid

Its official now, The Godfather of the Galacticos has been officially confirmed as the new 'White House' president.

Florentino Perez is back with real Madrid and is it the start of another Glactico Era ????
Specialy since some of the big name players might be interested for a move !!!

Cristiano
Kaka
Ribery
Villa
Ibrahimovic

and maybe Messi.....remember Figo saga ?????

Video Highlights: Osasuna 2 - 1 Real Madrid

Real end the La Liga season disastrously with a 2-1 away defeat. This is their 5th back to back defeat in the Spanish League. Salgado and Huntelaar got red carded. Higuain scored the opening goal for the visitors, while Plasil and Juanfran scored for Osasuna.

BTW,Real Madrid fans had another reason to be sad today. Their favorite Rafael Nadal got kicked-out of the French Open and lost the chance of winning a record 5th title

Video Highlights: Fiorentina 0 - 2 AC Milan

AC Milan win a decisive encounter against Fiorentina and finish the Serie A on the 2nd spot. Kaka and Pato scored the winning goals in the second half

Arsene Wenger: No longer interested.

This all according to this article The Spoiler found. The odds of it all happening?

Well, its Real Madrid and Perez is president so you never know ?

Video Highlights: Caen 0 - 1 Bordeaux

Bordeaux won the Ligue 1 title a few hours ago. They defeated Caen with 1-0 and became the first club that broke Olympique Lyon’s reign in the French league. Gouffran scored the winning goal with a header.

Video Highlights: Deportivo La Coruna 1 - 1 Barcelona

Barcelona ended the La Liga season with a 1-1 draw in La Coruna against Deportivo. Samuel Eto’o equalized for the Champions in the 89th minute.

Video Highlights: Chelsea 2-1 Everton FA Cup Final

Chelsea won the FA Cup today. Everton took an early bid after Saha’s 1st minute goal but where equalized quite fast in the 21st minute. Drogba scored for the Blues. Frank Lampard managed the winning goal for Chelsea.

What went wrong for United in Rome .......???

The fact remains, though, that Alex Ferguson has never replaced Roy Keane or Ruud van Nistelrooy.

One a skipper in the true sense of the word, the other a focal-point centre-forward with an unerring propensity for putting the ball in the net.

What United missed more than anything in Rome’s Olympic Stadium on Wednesday night was a leader in the Keane mould.

Die Hard united fans must be asking some questions !!!!

• United's Central Midfield good enough to compete at highest level ?
• Are Park Ji Sung and Nani really good enough?
• And what of Anderson, who blows as cold as he does hot?
• And, surely, United cannot squander another £26million on Carlos Tevez?
• Yet the greatest conundrum of all is Dimitar Berbatov.

Most important of all, though, is the putting together of a DVD with all the composite qualities required in a new midfield powerhouse.
Perhaps they could call it “Looking for Eric, Roy and Robbo”.

Video Highlights: Arsenal 4 - 1 Stoke City

Arsenal end the 2009 Premier League season with a 4-1 win over Stoke City. The Gunners end 4th and fail to win a trophy. It was a pretty disappointing season, the only plus was achieved with the Champions League semi-final. Stoke end 12th after a constant performance. It is a good result for their first year in the EPL

Video Highlights: Aston Villa 1 - 0 Newcastle United

Aston Villa defeated Newcastle with 1-0 and sent the Magpies to The Championship. The Magpies relegated after a miserable season. Damian Duff scored an own goal to end it in “style”. Villa finish 6th after they seemed able to upset Arsenal for the 4th spot. The final part of the season was disastrous though.

Video Highlights: Hull City 0 - 1 Manchester United

Man Utd ended the season in style and won 1-0 against Hull. Gibson scored. The hosts where extremely lucky and finished just above Newcastle on the 17th spot. They will be able to play one more season in the EPL

Video Highlights: Sunderland 2 - 3 Chelsea

Chelsea where strong this season too. They finish 3rd with solid runs both in the EPL and also in the UCL considering that they changed the manager in the second part of the season. Sunderland had a poor season but the 16th spot maintains them in the Premier League

Video Highlights: Liverpool 3 - 1 Tottenham Hostpur

Liverpool ended the season in style. They won 3-1 at home against Tottenham and completed and impressive performance. They finished only 4 points behind United and where very close of winning the title. Perhaps they will do it next year

Video Highlights:Real Madrid 1 - 3 Mallorca

Real Madrid suffered their 4th defeat in a row this weekend. Mallorca demolished them with a 3-1 win. Higuain opened the score for the hosts, but the visitors managed to win all the points. Check the goals!

VAN THE MAN TO GALATASARAY ?????

Galatasaray Reach A Deal To Sign Ruud Van Nistelrooy - Reports.

Galatasaray need giant signings like this in order to fill that new 5 star stadium they're building... they obviously have the money, but do they have enough in the tank to convince Ruud to join them ? specialy when they are struggling to qualify for Champions League......

I believe he wont leave Real Madrid, and even if he does I'm pretty much sure it will be for the team who have qualified for champions League.......

Toons Relegated !!!! fans reaction

Newcastle United's 16-year stay in the Premier League ended with a 1-0 defeat away to Aston Villa.

At St James' Park the fans were defiant in defeat but the chants failed to mask the bitter disappointment.

They had gathered at Newcastle's stadium to watch the away match on big screen TVs inside Shearer's - the bar named after their manager and potential hero.

Alan Shearer had joined them with only eight games left in the season.

Did they deserve to go down ? in my openion YES ! hell yes, they were poor through out the season, and even at Survival Sunday they just needed to get a draw, needed a just a goal to ensure stay in Premeir league which they could'n get in the end......

I believe they will bounce straight back to premeirship, if Shearer stays. and ofcource some of the players needs to show some loyalty.....GOOD BYE GIORDIES

Video Highlights: Nancy 1 - 2 Olympique Marseille

OM won tonight 2-1 in Nancy and need a home win against Rennes next weekend and hope for Bordeaux to lose away, against Caen. This is the scenery that could make OM Ligue 1 champions. Enjoy tonight’s goals and see you next week!

Video Highlights: Bordeaux 1 - 0 Monaco

Bordeaux have defended their lead in the Ligue 1 but are still not sure of winning the title. They now lead with 77 points followed by Marseille with 74. Chamakh scored the only goal of the night in a rather poor game for the hosts. OM keep up the pace with an away win in Nancy and everything is left to play for in the last round.

Video Highlights: Bayern Munich 2 - 1 Stuttgart

Bayern failed to defend their Bundesliga title and couldn’t match Wolfsburg today. They won 2-1 against Suttgart in Munchen but it was not enough because the leaders managed a 5-1 home win and grabbed the title. Watch the highlights now

Video Highlights: Wolfsburg 5 - 1 Werder Bremen

Wolfsburg managed to win the Bundesliga title after another impressive performance. They blasted Werder Bremen with 5-1 and defended their top spot against Bayern Munich. Wolfsburg made things clear by the 26th minute. They where already 3-0 ahead and smashed Bayern’s title hopes. Watch the extended highlights

Video Highlights: Barcelona 0 - 1 Osasuna

Barcelona lost again in the La Liga. The Catalans where defeated by Osasuna 0-1 at the Camp Nou. It’s obvious that the Catalans are with their minds in Rome already but the last 3 La Liga rounds offered them a single point and this can spoil the impression of a near perfect season. Osasuna might have rescued themselves from relegation after this result

Manchester United announce full-strength squad to take on Hull

Full-strength reserve squad, that is!

After all the posturing, legal threats, promises, denials etc., Manchester United have announced their squad to face Hull City on Sunday. And it reads like a who’s who of reserve team football!

Other than that the most notable names in the squad are young striker Federico Macheda and everybody’s favourite anti-dehydration advert Danny Drinkwater. And let us not forget Ritchie De Laet who stirred up a bit of controversy by announcing he was making his debut earlier this week! Full squad after the jump.

If you were wondering whether Usain Bolt’s visit to Manchester United’s Carrington training ground might be an unnecessary distraction a couple of weeks before a Champions League Final, it looks like you might have been right.

Shakhtar Donetsk wins Last ever Uefa Cup

Shakhtar Donetsk have become the last ever winners of the UEFA Cup, after beating German side Werder Bremen 2-1 after extra time.

SHAKHTAR Donetsk midfielder Jadson scored in extra time on Wednesday to clinch the Uefa Cup with a 2-1 win over Werder Bremen.

The teams had drawn 1-1 through regular time at Istanbul's Sukru Saracoglu Stadium before Jadson, one of five Brazilian players in Shakhtar's lineup, hit a shot from about 12 meters in the 97th minute.

Diego Milito & Thiago Motta Join Inter

Genoa president Enrico Preziosi has announced that Inter have signed star duo Diego Milito and Thiago Motta, in exchange for cash plus Robert Acquafresca.

"I met [Inter] President Massimo Moratti for breakfast, and we have reached an agreement,

" Preziosi revealed while a guest on the programme 'We are Genoa' on TeleNord."It is official. It was a painful decision, and we thank the players for everything they have given this year.


Seriously, I don't see how Inter will win the Champions League with these kinds of average signings.

Video Highlights: Shakhtar Donetsk 2 - 1 Werder Bremen (UEFA CUP FINAL)

1 - 0 Adriano 25

1 - 1 Naldo 36



2 - 1 Jadson 97



Shakhtar Donetsk are the holders of Europe's silver trophy after a 2-1 win over Werder Bremen! The last ever UEFA Cup final went to extra time in Istanbul, but there was no stopping the miners from digging deep, with a Jadson goal sealing the victory

Platini supporting barca in Rome Final !!!!

In statements unlikely to go down well with Manchester United fans, the UEFA president has lavished praise upon the Blaugrana.

"Barcelona represents my philosophy, not just in their style of play, but how they form their footballers.

"I believe players should be protected until they are 18, more for moral reasons than economic ones."

"It seduces me.

"Finally, Platini talked about some of Barca's star players: "Xavi is very good, the best player of EURO 2008, and so is Iniesta."Even players like Eto'o, Henry or Keita have all adapted brilliantly to their system."

we know platini's hate 4 english football clubs.i know platini is happy that chealsea lost 2 barca.....and he wants a Non-english Champion.

Canna back with Juve !!!

The Italian international has gone back to Juventus after his three year stint with Real Madrid. He will join them in July once his deal with the Spanish side expires



A statement on the club's official website reads:

"Fabio Cannavaro again with Juventus from July."

''Juventus football club has deposited the contract of Fabio Cannavaro which will run from July 1, 2009 until June 30, 2010. As noted, the player's contract with Real Madrid expires on June 30 2009."

Here is his explanation about leaving Madrid:

Talking to Radio Marca, Cannavaro says he will

"have Madrid in his heart" and that he has had a "spectacular experience" in the capital, but is disappointed at the lack of success this season.''

"Boluda told me that he could not do anything, that I would have to wait until after the elections...What hurts the most is the fact we have not been able to win the tenth [Champions League]," he said.

this is not the best signing that juventus could have had over the summer. even tho he is a great player i think he is too old to come into the juventus side.

They keep saying that italy is the retirement home and i dont blame them !!

Cantona eyes England or Old Trafford job

"If I am to return [to football] one day it will be as a coach and because I could bring something new," he told La Provence.

"But it will be in England, with the national team or at Manchester."

he told La Provence.

That's setting the bar awfully high. Who do you think you are?

Inter’s Tribute To Adriano

How nice of Julio César to remember his friend, Adriano, during such a glorious occasion! We almost feel bad for making fun of the Fallen Striker.

As soon as the Inter-Siena match ended yesterday (a nice 3-0 scoreline in favour of the Serie A champs) the players did a victory parade around the San Siro. Mancini and Balotelli also wore “Adriano” shirts, which they must’ve taken from the storeroom when no one was looking. And you know Uncle Fester Galliani tried to gatecrash the event but was promptly stopped at the door.

Ranieri got the boot !!!!

Juventus Sack Claudio Ranieri, Ciro Ferrara Takes Over

The club have officially confirmed that they have ousted Claudio Ranieri and replaced him with Ciro Ferarra.

A statement on their official website reads:

"Ciro Ferrara is the new Juventus coach. Juventus would like to communicate that they have sacked Claudio Ranieri."From today, the first team will be handed over, and guided by Ciro Ferrara. Juventus would like to thank Claudio Ranieri for the work he has done in these two years."We would like to wish new coach Ciro Ferrara well for immediate success."

finally, juve have a new coach to replace terrible ranieri. ranieri style of coach doesn't suit juventus squad....and judging from Juventus fans reactions, it came as no surprice.....

Valencia heading to Bernabeu !!!

Antonio Valencia could be headed for Real Madrid, unless Manchester United match their bid

According to The Daily Mail, Wigan Athletic have agreed a €24 million deal with Los Merengues, who were keen to sign Valencia in January.

The deal may well hinge on the future of Cristiano Ronaldo, who, of course, remains a key target for Real Madrid.

What makes this player so great is his speed and his work ethic, What both clubs see is potential of becoming something great when has Ferguson been wrong about a player he likes ???
and yes I have seen him play for Wigan and for his countary, and beleive me he is a real handful to any defence....

Video Highlights: Malorca 2-1 Barcelona

Video: C.Ron's New carear

Cristiano shows an impressive level of professionalism (aside from the eating and lounging next to his interviewee) behind the mic, demanding — and unrelenting in that demand — that Anderson speak English in their bilingual interview.

Forget this football business, I think he’s found his true calling as a hard-hitting, tough-questioning journalist. Now maybe he’ retire and someone other than Manchester United will win the league next year.

Damn, it makes him look less hateful. How can be posible?

Man Utd Champions of England AGAIN !!!

Manchester United FC have equalled Liverpool FC's record of 18 English titles, a 0-0 home draw with Arsenal FC enough for the Red Devils to claim the Premier League crown for the third year in succession.

I was excited to watch the game but as it turned out, IMO was worst game ever.. nobody looked like going for it.. with all the possesion arsenal had.. they didnt know what to do with it.. man u where shocking.. couldnt keep the ball for more than 3 passes.. while arsenal wasnt making any effort into getting into a thretening possition.. poor match by both sides

Usain Bolt visits Manchester United

Fastest man on the planet gives Cristiano Ronaldo sprint tips

Most Premier League defenders would probably argue he doesn’t really need them, but Cristiano Ronaldo has received some speed advice from triple Olympic goal medalist Usain Bolt. The Jamaican sprinter had promised to meet up with his Manchester United heroes for sprint lessons and kept his word while in Manchester to race this weekend.

Weekly Rumour Mill

• In his neverending quest to change the official language of Liverpool to Spanish, Rafa is lusting over David Silva (possible) and Diego Forlan (less possible).

• According to Zlatan’s agent, Chelsea, Manchester United, Barcelona and Real Madrid are in constant contact because “They are the only teams capable of taking someone like Zlatan“. Well then, that settles that. Stop holding your breath Numancia fans.

• And to replace Zlatan, the Inter suits would like to sign Diego Milito because he has an Argentine passport. (That’s all really.)

• Blackburn want Bojan on loan next season. You know…even a season-long loan is a bit much for that talent gap between player and team.

• Ricardo Quaresma has been such a spectacular flop at both Inter and Chelsea this year that he may stepover all the way back to Portugal where he will complete the Portuguese Big Three trifecta by playing for Benfica after his stints with Sporting and Porto. In the process adding to the most impressively inexplicable CV for a player still 25: Sporting, Barcelona, Porto, Inter, Chelsea.

• Kevin Kuranyi, he of the most confusing passport in European football, is being eyed girlishly by Martin Jol over at Hamburg, a move which would make HSV fans happy and Schalke fans happier.

Well thats all for today, Im bit tired and need some sleep before i head to the football pitch, hopefully

This is obviously good news for anyone who was planning to sell their soul to pay for their season ticket. The Red Rebels have taken the idea from rock band Radiohead, who recently asked fans to pay what they felt was right to download their latest album.

C.Ronaldo's moment of inferiority complex

I think this speaks for itself. It’s not a tackle, but who knows what happened immediately after this clip ends.

Man Utd stars who fell out with Fergie, Who's next Ronaldo ?

After C-Ron’s strop, we look at five Man Yoo stars who have already walked the tight-rope of dissing SAF

1. David Beckham
There once close relationship began to unravel as Becks immersed himself increasingly in a celebrity lifestyle. He was on the receiving end of the infamous flying boot incident after united lost a FA cup game against Arsenal.

2. Ruud Van Nistelrooy
Again a once strong relationship, forged as Ferguson patiently waited for Van Nistelrooy to recover from the knee injury which delayed his transfer to Old Trafford, which went sour. Rumours of a rift started when the Dutchman was benched for six consecutive league games in 2006.

He returned to the starting line-up but when he was dropped again before United’s final game of the season against Charlton, he left the stadium before kick-off. Rumours suggested this was due to a fall-out with Fergie’s new hot young thing, Cristiano Ronaldo.

3. Jaap Stam
Once the defensive rock upon which the United team was built, after some rather unflattering comments about Ferguson and United in his autobiography the Dutchman soon found out his relationship with the boss was not so rock-steady.

4. Paul Ince
The Ince-Ferguson relationship when it worked was built on mutual respect rather than any affection, and when the respect ebbed away it got really nasty. Fergie called his former star midfielder a “bottler” and a “big time Charlie”, and flogged him to Inter Milan.

5. Roy Keane
Given Ferguson’s hairdryer and Keane’s short fuse, it is perhaps surprising that this pair remained so close for as long as they did. It all blew up at the end of 2005. Keane decided to turn grumpy elder statesman of the United team and criticised the club’s pre-season training camp, the application of his team-mates and Fergie’s management methods. His contract was soon cancelled by mutual consent and he headed to Celtic.

Impossible is Nothing - Incredible goal

Pedrao’s goal really confirms a famous advertising slogan “Impossible is nothing”. The Brazilian striker scored an impossible goal. His narrow angle shot hit the crossbar and the curl made it land in the back of the net after the rebound with the pitch. Pedrao couldn’t believe it and neither can we! Do you believe it?

United and Madrid 'put pen to paper' on £70m Ronaldo transfer

The Portuguese ace could be heading to the Bernabeu this summer if the Spanish club invoke a clause in their deal with Manchester United

It is claimed that the clubs have agreed a £71.5million fee for the 24-year-old, which is subject to secrecy clauses and Madrid's new president taking up the option.

The total value of the deal would be in excess of 100m euros (£89m) when taking into account a big cut for Ronaldo's agent Jorge Mendes. The former Sporting Lisbon player could expect to pick up £12.5m a year - a whopping £240,000 a week.

More on that here


After his Derby day antiques I was sure these reports will become alive again and guess what its happening.......
I would say, better sell him coz the player thinks he is bigger than Man Utd,and he is too big headed and a bad exemplary to the upcoming stars.

And what is more ridicilous, with that price madrid could buy ribery, maicon, chiellini and benzema. so why Madrid wanna buy him.....we'll never know ????

Diego Has Signed For Juventus, Agent claims

Juventus have reportedly completed the signing of Werder Bremen's star player Diego, according to Giacomo Petralito, who is a representative of the Brazilian.

"The three parties involved have already put signatures on the contracts," he revealed to the German magazine Kicker.

"Juventus is a company that is quoted on the stock exchange and until May 31 they cannot announce any transfer," he continued.

He's a good player, i repeat a good player not a top top player and he will never be as good as Nedved who is supposed to be replacing....but still a good signing for Juventus if news is true, coz these agents go crazy sometimes just to get some attention.

No Becks for La Galaxy !

The player's legal team are trying to rescind his Los Angeles Galaxy deal, according to reports.

So what's the next step? Avoid coming back to America entirely, specifically after the Serie A season ends.

La Gazzetta Dello Sport claims the English international is so in love with Calcio that he would like to take part in the Rossoneri's pre-season and start the next campaign in a Milan jersey. The report suggests the player's legal team are in Los Angeles trying to find a way of rescinding his Galaxy deal earlier than expected.

Adriano was officially unveiled by Flamengo yesterday and a party - likened to a 4-year-old’s birthday bash - was thrown to welcome him back. He also joins the likes of Fred and Ronaldo in returning to the Brazilian league.

“I always liked to laugh, to play, for fun. That was not happening in Italy. And as soon as I returned to Brazil, it did not take long for me to go back to being happy,” he said at the press conference.

damn dude, so all those stories of depression and retirement were fake or what.....we'll never understand !!!!!

A Catch up in the Change Rooms

when the shots of David arriving in the stands flashed up, all United fans were more than happy to see him, he’s a legend and he still loves Man Utd that is for sure......and still have good relations in United team......

It was great to see Becks rubbing his hands together & smiling with glee at United's result. Once a red devil, always a red devil!

was thrilled to see Becks obviously loving the match. Looks like his heart is still very much in Manchester.

and remember that era of '' GOLDEN GENERATION'' ????

and now death threats !!!

Norwegian official Tom Henning Ovrebo has been smuggled out of England after fears for his safety

According to various reports in the British press, the referee from the Champions League semi-final second leg between Chelsea and Barcelona at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday has been smuggled out of England after receiving death threats.

Thats just crazy, yeah he had a bad game some poor decisions but thats all part of the game, but chelsea fans ....!!!

I actually didn't think he was that bad. Drogba always dives when he loses the ball and the hand balls were difficult to call whether they were intentional, and if Chelsea really wanted to win, why not next time score some goals?

Drogba apologizes !!!!

The Ivorian has spoken out in remorse after berating the referee and swearing live on television at Stamford Bridge last night

His statement reads:

"I was very upset at what happened during the game, but having seen the pictures on TV I accept that I overreacted.

"I also fully accept that the language I used did not set a good example for those watching at home, especially children. I regret that in the heat of the moment I let out my incredible frustration and disappointment in this way, and for that I apologise."


but you know he doesn't mean it, he´s just been told by Chelsea Officials to fix this NOW. this guy thinks he´s way better than he is.... His behavior was disgrace to the spirit of the game, he should get a 5-6 game ban at least...
