| How do you solve a problem like Madrid? |
|
March 18th 2010 by Charlie Coffey
The fact that Real Madrid, recognised by FIFA as the most successful football club of the last century, have not managed to reach the quarter finals of the Champions League since 2004 is almost unbelievable. The team that swept all others aside as they won the competition three times in six years at the turn of the millennium are now unable to surpass a team such as Lyon, who have been struggling in Ligue 1 by their standards this season. |
| Ruptured Achilles’ heel is the final nail in England’s WC coffin |
|
March 17th 2010 by Sam Rider
Beckham, Terry, Cole…injuries and melodramas expose England’s Achilles’ heel As the Greek myth of the Trojan War goes, it was the heel of the great Achilles – pierced by a poisoned arrow fired by Paris – that killed the apparently invulnerable warrior. Now in England’s World Cup campaign, one that seemed so promising six months ago, it is the stricken heel of David Beckham that has all but killed off the nation’s chances of success in South Africa. |

| Great week for Arsenal & Man Utd |
|
March 15th 2010 by Jack Hayes
This week we’ve seen the good the bad and the ugly sides of football. As always we start with the good, firstly Arsenal demolished Porto then United gave the OAP’s from Milan a good spanking and both followed these with victories of varying difficulty in the premiership. |
| Lucky Arsenal leave it late to grab 3 points |
|
March 13th 2010 by Mystical Mike
Arsenals title hopes were once again on a knife edge until Nicklas Bendtner grabbed a 93rd minute winner to secure a 2-1 win against a plucky Hull side, who played the whole of the 2nd half with 10 men. |
| Chester City FC R.I.P. |
|
March 13th 2010 by William Abbs
Chester City Football Club were wound up this week, with their 125-year existence ending for the sake of a tax bill. Portsmouth might have gained headlines for becoming the first Premier League club to enter administration but they somehow stagger on with debts of £60m, while the club four divisions below Pompey are now defunct – thanks in part to the Blue Square Premier outfit owing HM Revenue & Customs a, by comparison, paltry £26,125. |

|
March 10th 2010 by Gavin Caney
It’s Wayne’s World Wayne Rooney is in the form of his life, another match winning performance from the world’s best player as United eased past a sorry AC Milan side consisting of ageing stars, some of whom played their final games on the European stage. Forget David Beckham, this was the Rooney show. |
