It has now become a custom to link any star player with other sides if he has missed few of the important games and it holds specifically true with English clubs where fans want their players to play each game and deliver too. This is something that seems to be happening with Manchester United and its captain Wayne Rooney who was not seen in last two games and absence of any player of his caliber is easily taken as the result of growing dissent between player and the management hence it is assumed he would have been looking for an alternate and as far Rooney is concerned, few media houses recently hinted he could have been looking for other options if Portuguese keeps an ignorance on him. However, club top management has denied of anything like this happened to the Three Lions skipper and they explained Rooney did not play in last few games for his calf complaint. Knowingly, 31-year-old, in this season, has started in five of the seven games for club and country as a substitute … [Read more...]

If we closely look at last few premier league seasons, there is at least one thing in common, i.e., no defender could repeat its earlier form no matter how big names it carried with it and it holds true even today when Leicester City is nowhere among the top ten despite having been the rule changer last year. Anyways, if we talk about who could be the title holder this year, everyone has a different view: while some say it is the Man City who could regain its lost pride while there are many who are betting for Liverpool who started an impressive transformation in the last season itself and this year too they have started well with a comfortable position on the second position of the leaderboard. Reds yesterday win over West Brom by 2-1 at home was the one that forced Baggies boss Tony Pulis to praise the form they shown against them and why they should win the current English title.
