Chelsea vs Napoli: Champions League Preview (Lovely Left Foot)

Posted on Mar 14, 2012 by NFB

Chelsea have changed a lot since they were beaten 3-1 in the Stadio San Paulo. The departure of Andre Villas Boas underlines what has been a mediocre season, marked by a succession of poor performances and terrible player/manager relations. To … Continue reading →

Football 10/11: vs Bursaspor (away)

Posted on Nov 3, 2010 by NFB

Now that was a good professional performance. It helps that Bursaspor might be the worst team remaining in the tournament. Not much of threat in this game or in the last. For United, it was a case of patiently waiting for their opportunity … Continue reading →

Football 10/11: vs Rangers

Posted on Sep 15, 2010 by NFB

I actually missed it. Don’t worry, I had a very good reason. That I won’t get into. But the result is a big disappointment though not as much as the loss of Valencia. He had so many assists last season and … Continue reading →

Football 10/11: Champions League Draw

Posted on Aug 26, 2010 by NFB

I foresee no major problems for the EPL sides, save Spurs. United can get four points off Valencia and six off the other two. Rangers, inevitably, can’t compete at the top European level. They can’t help it, it’s what happens when your league … Continue reading →
