Ariggo Sacchi


Jose Mourinho
Andrea Villas Boas

Andrea Stramaccioni

  • Obviously four of them are coaches, 
  • Coached or coaching professional footballers in Big clubs 
  • Started coaching at a younger age
  • have worked or been working closer to each other...or related in one way or the other....they all have Italy-Portugal-Porto-Chelsea-Roman Abramovich-Inter Millan --Claudio Ranieri-Real Madrid..interconnections!...simply amazing?
  •  but NEVER PLAYED FOOTBALL AS PROFESSIONALS!
  • and you will not say that they do not share SUCCESS as well!


Ronaldo's hat trick down Depo


It was an easy ride for Madrid at the end as they come from behind to down Deportivo Lacoruna with a 5-1 thumping tonight...Riki scored in the 16' to put the visitors ahead but that was like waking up the sleeping lion as C-Ronaldo scored a hat trick, his first and last goals  from the penalty spot..also on the score sheet was Di Maria and PEPE!..never seen him score?
KaKa was given a change to play but his shooting on goal shows how much he has missed; not really sharp enough... still a far cry from the 100% record their rivals Barca had and will continue to play catch up hoping for Barca's slip.....Real mardrid is now 6th on the La Liga log.

Barca wins again but.....

Saying that with the caliber (quality and skills)  of players Barca have, they do not need any favour from referees to grab a win I agree with that and nobody will say that coming from behind after trailing 0-2 for most part of the game to win 3-2 is not stunning..but the question is how?
Sevilla fans, players, and coach complained about the obviously seen

  • hand ball by a Barca player Thiago right in front of the Ref who waved play on that led to fabregas' first goal
  • a vicious stamp by Busquets on Sevilla's Cicinho punished only by a yellow
Red card given to Sevilla MEDEL invited for head-to-head confrontation by Fabregas who feigned he received a  headbutt and went crying without any meaningful contact...
did all these aid Barcelona stunning come back???

well like it or not Barca is on top 11 points ahead of Real Madrid!..

Fergie Time not respected....lol

Sir Alex ManUnited coach was furious with the referee Chris Foy after Tottenham defeated Manchester United @ Old Trafford when he gave 4 minutes extra time instead of the popular 'Fergie Time'....lol (apology to united fans but guys ..)
 Fergie time is believed to be anything above 5 minutes when ManUnited is trailing...lol he described the extra 4 minutes added as an ''insult to the game'' ...mmmh! he argued "There were six substitutions, the trainer came on, so that's four minutes right away and the goalkeeper must have wasted about two or three minutes and they took their time at every goal kick''
what do you think with this kind of excuses is it time for Fergie to get his replacement why does he blame referee any time he loses?

5 goals thriller @ Old Trafford...and 7...elsewhere

AVB


It was a historical win for Tottenham their first @ Old Trafford since 1989 and a massive boost for AVB who earlier has been a subject of sack...as Tottenham hammered 3 past the red devils Vertonghen with the first and Gareth Bale's stunner gave the visitors 2-0 lead in the first half..
the introduction of Rooney by Sir Alex seems to have lifted ManUnited who responded and there was three goals in a space of three minutes Nani 51', Dempsey 52' kagawa 53' hence Tottenham's lead was reduced to a goal lead but they defended well to grab the rare 3 points away from home...Gallas was gallant he even lost his contact lens as the defensive duty got tough..  he was seen fixing a replacement by the side..can AVB maintain the winning streak?

Mancini's ManCity wins through Dzeko's late strike.....


Manager Roberto Mancini boast that Manchester city will retain the tittle almost received a blow this afternoon.. it was Fulham that drew the first blood when former Liverpool man Riise was caught by Zabaleta, the penalty looked soft though...but Aguero rescued the defending champions 2 minutes before the break equalizing for city through Silver's rebound after a superb Schwarzer's parry, the game ended 1-2 advantage City, as substitute Dzeko left it late to put the visitors ahead  just after 60 seconds he's been on the field with 3 minutes left in regulation time...@ the end City goes ahead of Arsenal on the log with 12 points on 4th position 

London Derby

Mata when it matters...
Arsenal Vs Chelsea one of the most popular London derbies was not short of excitement today, it started with Ashley Cole and Terry receiving it from the boo boys but they went quiet when..Torres benefited from a defensive confusion in the Arsenal box to put the European champions ahead within 20 minutes of play, but the turn in the box by Gervinho was terrific as he lashed the ball inside the net and Cezh had no chance to equalize for Arsenal...it was 1-1 before the break...Although Torres had a chance to increase Chelsea's tally in the half but he wasted it..

models inspiration...


Can these undies models inspire their mates to perform in today's encounter?


Mario is back with his EX and to-be-baby-MAMA Raffaella Fico, and could be back in Manchester city's line up as they clash today with Fulham after scoring in the capital one cup defeat to Aston Villa.
he was quoted saying “I have decided to try again with Raffaella. The DNA test has not been performed and has nothing to do with my decision.

Steve Kean sacked!..finally

Steve 
''is with deep regret, given my hard work and service for the club for a number of years, that I have been forced to resign as manager of Blackburn Rovers Football Club with immediate effect, due to my position as team manager becoming untenable.''-Steve kean 

The most hated @ Blackburn who survived all the speculations  about his sack last season despite Blackburn's woes in the premier league even after the relegation has been shown the exit door @ Blackburn...but it seems to the Venky group that now is the right time to call it quits with Steve Kean... Blackburn is currently 3rd in the Championship having won 4 matches and lost 2...



Terry fit to face Arsenal

Come 12h45 tomorrow @ the Emirate Chelsea undefeated in the premier league this season will file out their exciting players against an Arsenal side that displayed great skills against Mancity, the likes of Oscar, Hazard, Marin, Moses will be unleashed to maintain Chelsea'a 100% record to remain top of the log but Arsenal has shown that the young team has grown into title contenders with the addition of Podoski, Cazola, and Giroud...it promises to be a cracker and whoever comes victorious will grind it out. Chelsea's boost will be the news that John Terry is fit and would play despite the FA ban as he plans to appeal the verdict.

Terry banned out of 4 Chelsea matches..


The FA has banned Chelsea's captain John Terry he will miss 4 matches in a row, he was found guilty of misconduct, using a racist word against Anton Ferdinand on a premier league match last year. JT was also fined £220,000..which is a little more than what he earns in a week...mmmh! chicken change?
Earlier on the same issue JT was cleared by a magistrate court just after the euro 2012, but the FA insisted on trying him further which prompted him to retire from international career few days ago...will Chelsea miss him? although he will be available for the champions league matches.

Mohican hair style rocked mainly by footballers

Falcao will be a blue come January....@£45million pounds

Chelsea billionaire owner Roman  Abramovich  has given a green light for a January bid for the Man who  destroyed Chelsea in the UEFA super cup clash with Atletico Marid, Falcao Garcia scored a super hat trick against Chelsea ...Torres might be offloaded in the process if he does not change his situation in front of goal....do you think the Colombian goal poacher can survive where Torres is struggling???

Azerbaijan ...how they stand so far


The Nigerian Flamingoes top group A and need just a draw against Colombia on Saturday to qualifier  for the next stage while their African neighbours Ghana might need to beat China the group D leaders to qualify..Japan has already booked their place in the next round sitting on top of group C with 100% record in two matches…
