Matches of the decade: Fenerbahçe 6 – 0 Galatasaray (2002)
Ariel Ortega's finest hour and a half, in Turkey anyway. How a war didn't start I'll never know. Fenerbahçe had won the league in 2001, denying Galatasaray a fifth consecutive title in the process. They followed up the next season with a runners-up place behind Galatasaray under coach Werner Lorant. The 2002-03 season, however, did not go so well [...]

European roundup, September 19th and 20th
Real Madrid 5 - 0 Xerez That bugger Cristiano Ronaldo opened the scoring in the first minute with a trademark run and low finish with his right foot. It took until the last 15 minutes for the Buggers in white to put real gloss on the scoreline, Ronaldo bagging his second with a powerful header, Guti continued his fine recent scoring run and in [...]

Europa League magic
Villa and Hearts manage to make their escape while Everton and Fulham potentially ruin their season by cluttering it with meaningless fixtures by suffering the indignity of having to remain in this bloody awful competition.

Jack Rodwell made it 2-0 before the break with a left-footed strike that went through a sea of bodies. Rodwell added the third after the break with [...]
