Liverpool 1-0 Trabzonspor Highlights

August 19, 2010

A goal by Babel set the difference between the two sides in a match that Liverpool could, and definitely should have done better. A 1-0 lead going to Turkey is a slender one, and more than finding a fit Torres, Liverpool need to gel together in the midfield. Personally I feel that a midfield with [...]

A sounding victory for Man United in a match that was actually closer than the scoreline suggests, but where the Manchester boys showed their class. The game started off very even with chances for both sides and Newcastle showing that they’ve got a lot of fight in them. But around the half hour mark United [...]

Wigan 0-4 Blackpool Highlights

August 13, 2010

An excellent season opener for Blackpool, which leaves a lot of questions about Wigan this year. Stunning performance by Blackpool as a whole squad, showing that you don’t need big signings to score in big numbers. Or maybe it was just the fairy tale effect, time will tell. But what will go down in the [...]

Blackburn 1-0 Everton Highlights

August 13, 2010

A mistake by Tim Howard which lead to a goal by Nikola Kalinic gave Blackburn the win in a match that didn’t have much history to it. Surely a lot more was expected of Everton but they never seemed to find their pace and did little to threaten the opposing goal. Blackburn held onto the [...]

Out of the crisis scenario of losing Martin O’Neill so close to the start of the season Villa pulled through and gave the Hammers a proper hammering. Downing and Petrov gave Villa the lead in the first half and Milner added to the score in the second. This could prove to be Milner’s last goal [...]

Tottenham 0-0 Man City Highlights

August 13, 2010

An excellent performance by Joe Hart, several misses by Tottenham players and an ineptitude from City to create attacking chances ended up with this goalless draw. The match started frantically, with Tottenham constantly on the offensive and bombarding Joe Hart’s goal with shot after dangerous shot, with the City keeper putting up an admirable performance. [...]

Chelsea 1-3 Man United Highlights

August 7, 2010

United beat Chelsea in an interesting match of football, although not played with the usual quality we’re used to. Antonio Valencia scored for the Red Devils right before half-time after a superb move between himself and Wayne Rooney, who got the assist. Valencia would be in the spotlight again when he made the cross that [...]
