Thursday night footy (Europa League dross): 11th March
Lille 1 - 0 Liverpool Eden Hazard's late goal won the first leg and made a bad week even worse for lowly Liverpool.

(Worst) matches of the decade: Juventus 0 – 0 A C Milan (2003)
The 2003 Champions League Final was a shocker, contested by two Italian teams in the shape of Juventus and Milan, making history as the first time that two clubs from Italy had faced each other in the final. It was also the second one-nation final, following the Real Madrid v Valencia match in 2000. Milan won the match via a penalty shootout after [...]
Champions League lowlights, December 8th and 9th
Another round of fixtures out of the way, we'll soon clear out the trash and get down to business. The image of the evening: Beşiktaş fans show what they think of Thierry Henry-loving ref Martin Hansson before their match against CSKA Moscow, which they would lose, no thanks to the ref, probably. Wolfsburg 1 - 3 Manchester United [...]
Juventus 2 – 1 Inter Milan, 5th December
That lad Claudio Marchisio has opened up the Serie A title race when his fine individual goal gave 10-man Juventus a 2-1 win over leaders Inter Milan. Even more funny was the ever lovely Jose Mourinho's sending off. Juventus 2 - Inter Milan 1- Watch more Sports Videos at Vodpod.
First Group matches in the Champions League
Liverpool 1 - 0 Debrecen Boring, predictable pointless fixture? I have to agree with you, dear reader. Dirk Kuyt's goal on the stroke of half-time proved enough for a dominant Liverpool at Anfield.

Football was better in the past: 1970-71
Leeds United were the predominant team of the era, although Everton had finished the previous season ahead of them as League champions and Chelsea had beaten them in the Cup final. England had, of course, handed over the World Cup to Brazil despite being the best team in Mexico. Man Utd were already in rapid decline, but give George Best the ball [...]
So many friendlies, so little reason to care
Enough already. Let's get on with the bloody new season. Besiktas 0 - 2 Fenerbahce Two goals from Brazilian striker Alex led Turkish Cup runners up and all-round buggers Fenerbahçe to victory over the reigning Turkish champions and people's favourites Beşiktaş in the Turkish Super Cup. SpVgg Neckarelz 1 - 3 Bayern Munich You'll [...]
Juventus 2 – 1 Real Madrid
I've always hated the buggers in white, never more so than this season. I will report in detail on every defeat, beginning now. Mighty Juventus scored first against Los scumbags after prodigal son Fabio Cannavaro turned home a Del Piero free-kick. Real levelled before the break when Cristiano Ronaldo scored his second penalty in as many games four [...]
Real Madrid 4 – 2 LDU de Quito
In the money generating corporate whoredom of the pre-season friendly wasteland, I consider the 'Peace Cup' to be a particularly grotesque abomination. I'll be avoiding it whenever possible, although I'll include this clip as Cristiano Ronaldo did score his first goal for the buggers in white two minutes into the second half of this match after he [...]
