Alex song sold to Barcelona

Arsenal struggled to a goalless draw against Sunderland in the absence of Roben van persie this afternoon; but Wenger is in the business again as Barcelona seals the signing of Alex song..
with Arsenal loosing their best and the new signings needing more games to blend, one wonders how Wenger can do his magic again this season.

Wenger - the money manager...lol

Manchester city-the champions are cashless?

It seems like the big spenders of last season has no budget this season to match their rivals; Manchester city has not been making big signings....
Jack Rodwell -arrived from Everton will he be starting?....

Manchester United-what to expect

If the champions can be declared based on major signing, Man United will be on top with the massive signing of top goal notch in the name of RVP; what else can they bring to the new season....

Robben van Persie is devilishly RED

Shinji Kagawa... Japanese flavor

Chelsea-what to expect

What can they bring to the party? the Chelsea new signings.. midfield will be attractive with the likes of

Hazard Eden

Oscar

 Marko Marin

Let's see against Wigan on Sunday!....

ARSENAL-man to watch

it's all starting today....
Arsenal without RVP.....Wenger has a way of dealing with that...
Lukas Podolski- can he replace RVP? well lets see against Sunderland today..they also have newbies like Olivier Giroud and Santi-Cazorla

 Podoski

 Olivier Giroud

cazorla

D new season is here! premiership, la liga....

Curiosity mounts as football fans, mega fans & nuts.. lol await the starting of major leagues in Europe...meanwhile it is the penultimate in Nigeria, and it is going down to the wire in Nigeria premier league as Lobi and Pillars topple Rangers after 37 matches played.....Pillars is on 64 points Lobi 62 & Rangers on 61 points with a match to go for each.

I like the timing of NPL ...

RVP is a Red Devil

One of the most commented transfers for many seasons now has finally been agreed, Arsenal's goal talisman Roben Van Persie has become a Manchester united player to form a deadly striking duo with Wyne Rooney although personal terms and medical pending... the Red devils beat their noisy neighbors on the race of acquiring the last season's highest goal scorer...and yet again Arsenal has jettisoned their captain like they use to do always Viera, Henry, Fabregas all left as captains..

who wears the armband next...is the next to leave...lol

Van Gaal vs Van Persie

The unsettled Arsenal striker who is on his way to Manchester United has been dealt a blow on his international career as the new Netherlands coach  Mr Van Gaal was quoted saying that he prefers Huntelaar as his top striker to Van Persie...he said that Huntelaar has a better fighting spirit in a match situation...mmmh! Van Gaal took over the national team after the Dutch were humiliated out of the euro 2012 loosing all their group games...

RVP was also left on the bench in today's friendly against Belgium...Huntelaar scored in the match but the Dutch lost 4-2

Muamba retires

Fabrice Muamba has announced his retirement from professional football... coming five months after he had recovered miraculously  from a cardiac arrest during a match between Bolton and Tottenham.....
we wish him well ......

best player nominees (euro) shortlisted

and the best player of the year is.......???

Super Eagles friendly

Nigeria's choice of friendly matches recently has shown that the once 'indomitable' team in African is not super anymore...

Nigeria's Super Eagles will face the Niger republic's Menas today in Niamey in a friendly, Niger is currently ranked 115 on FIFA world ranking while Nigeria is ranked 58 ...what  sort of improvement will the Eagles get from this friendly?

Keshi-Super eagles coach

Football Fashion

 Djibri Cisse of QPR loves the mix Fashion and Football...Skirt and Blouse....lol
this guy is not only footballcrazy but fashioncrazy....if you like the outfit in the first pix it's only ₦ 250,000 from Givenchy.....

 the 31 years old has  played for a number of clubs including Auxerre, Liverpool, Marselle, Panathinaikos, Lazio...

come and get me

HULK,  the FC Porto striker has indicated his interest on playing in the English premiership...what are the likes of Chelsea and Manchester city waiting for?
he was quoted saying shortly after Brazil's exit from the Olympics...  "The exit door is open for me to move to another league. My preference is to play in England or in Spain as they are the most watched over the world" 

pressure mounts

Pressure mounts yet again on another Chelsea coach Roberto Di Matteo, as they lost their fourth match; yes four friendly matches lost in a row including the community shield 2012 played today where  Manchester city took the shield by beating Chelsea 3-2. No thanks to Ivanovic who gave the referee a reason to issue the first Red card of the season...

RDM

Chelsea fans wished that they can replicate the Barcelona magic when Ivanovic saw red but that was not to be, the 10 men sloppy defending afterwards ensured that Mancity cruise to their first title of the season.. Torres is doing the Job out of Drogba's shadows now, he scored late in the first half to give Chelsea the lead but not enough to win it for them....

what do you think Boss?....

Elusive Gold medal

Alas !Brazil once again missed the Olympic Gold medal in the trade they know best, Football. Mexico beat all permutations to clinch their first Olympic gold medal in men's football tournament beating Brazil 2-1.
Brazil parading world class stars like Hulk, Neymar, Marcelo, Oscar, Pato and Rafael could not stop the Mexicans..even Pele's prediction could not spur them on...try next time Brazil...in 4 years time...

new star...Oribe Peralta scored a brace for Mexico.

star flops!...

Neymar

 Hulk-got the consolation goal

Rafael quarreled with fellow teammate Juan..lmao

pato

Naija footballers

proudly Ranti Martins Soleye born in Lagos playing his football in the Indian league 
(I-League) for Prayag United (his new club); he has been the highest goal scorer for the last two seasons....oga Keshi u no go invite am?...62 goals in the last two seasons no be joke o! 

Van Persie & Rooney

Manchester United might likely sign the unsettled Arsenal striker Van persie to form a deadly striking duo come next season...mmh! noisy neighbours beware...lol

the duo scored a total of  57 goals last season...whao!

Transfers

LUKAKU not good enough..just yet- Chelsea's Lukaku has been declared surplus by the coaching crew as he has failed to convince the new manager again, he has only earned himself a loan spell to the manager's former club West Brom-one hopes he proves himself better than Odemwingie and Long.

Lukaku who sees Chelsea's great  Drogba as his idol is still hoping to fill his position ...

lukaku

west Brom star-Odemwingie

USA Women clinched the Olympic Gold medal for the female football tournament by beating Japan 2-1 in the finals
ironically, in revenge to their defeat by japan in the world cup...
meanwhile, this is their 3rd Olympics medal..remarkable!...

CHELSEA still need another Drogba

Chelsea still need another Drogba a real or even better replacement this cannot be over emphasized..if you are a fan a true Blue the memories of how DD as Drogba is fondly called rescues the team from impending 'disgrace' from a losing position, he turns things around most of the times he plays  he scores vital unbelievable equalizers, the latest in memory is that of the last Champions League finals against the host Bayern Munich where he equalized at the death he nodded in what earned Chelsea  extra time of play -what about his final penalty kick to clinch the title the execution was not only perfect but in hindsight reminiscent of the fact that if he was not sent off in the finals against Manchester united in Moscow, he would have saved Terry from the slip and Chelsea would have smiled  to the euro bank... , even when he comes on from the bench as a result of rotation with Torres-the 50 million pounds investment; he roars like a wild lion to justify while the hype on him is not a fluke.

The fastest man in the world-Usain Bolt..'bolts' to another Olympic record used only 9.63sec for a 100m race..a cheetah really!
