English media is possibly the only media which do all the hard of managing players, officials of different sides every season. If you still don’t understand here is why we have to say this for them: recently few media houses reported that Manchester City could fire its non performing manager Manuel Pellegrini if he fails to defend his title while on the other day another media house suggested the name of Brendan Rodgers to take on the City job. It took them few hours to conclude the decision about who is going where even before City bosses could decide anything over Pellegrini. Nonetheless, Manchester giant is still at number two in the leaderboard and there is high probability that they will offer Chelsea a tough resistance even if they can’t stop Blues winning the 2014-15 league season. While on the other hand as far Rodgers’ future is concerned, he has already said over many occasions that he wants to serve Anfield side for long then don’t know how anyone can even try to convince … [Read more...]
Rooney aspires for career’s first FA Cup
Manchester United could have had a shoddy English premier league this season but they are as good in FA Cup as they have ever been hence it is obvious captain Wayne Rooney would target at least this title into their hall of fame. The 29-year-old skipper expresses his belief they can win FA title convincingly. He said this after having spent some eleven seasons playing for the Red Devils and in these years, he tasted the wins across all major events that include five League titles, two League cups, and one European trophy but he still has to taste FA Cup and this season looks closer to bring the most awaiting title for the English captain. United is up against Arsenal for a place among the last four and Rooney believes they can easily not only enter into the last four but can as well surprise everyone by holding his first career FA Cup.

Russia tightens its belt to tackle racism ahead of 2018 World Cup
While racism has ever been a biggest problem no one could ever manage to control, this menace has crossed European border off late with continuous reports of incidents in Russia as well. Like Asia or South America, there used to be far less number of cases in this part of the world as far skin color discrimination is concerned but last few months carry a defining change in this assumption. Since next FIFA world cup is going to be hosted by Russia, it is evident they would try their best to control this peril as soon as possible. One of leading official in Russian football association has recently called racism as the deadliest virus that they need to eliminate before FIFA event could start else they can never stop themselves to be in line with other soccer regions where taunting others over their color, cast, and breed is a day to day affair. Anatoly Vorobyov, general secretary at Russian Football Union, said recently they are far away of doing anything concrete in this direction. If … [Read more...]
Chelsea wins The Capital One Cup
Chelsea has proved why they should remain on the top of league leaderboard this season with their brilliant Capital One Cup win against struggling Tottenham.

Rooney backs Maria’s form
It is not uncommon to see a player, who has until been an eye candy for his aspirant sides, fails to impress once he signs a luring contract for a big side and 27-year-old Argentinean midfielder Ángel Di María is one such player who used to be on the radar of some of the biggies last season including few high net worth European sides, but somehow, Manchester United could manage to sign or rather snatch him from Real Madrid at 59.7 million pounds. But all the calculations about him went wrong when he could not match up his class on English soil. It is common for any player who makes such a big switch hence it is the captain who should stand behind him in this phase of career. Manchester United’s captain Wayne Rooney seems to be doing just that when he said “form is temporary, class is permanent,” about the former Real player. Actually, the lowest point of his career came when United had to replace him in the half time during 2-0 win over Sunderland and then many criticized Gaal for … [Read more...]
