Harry Kane might not be having the same amazing season as last, but this goal is pure quality. He dribbles past almost the entire Southampton defense, before slotting the ball into the net, cool as you like.

As of today, it has been eight weeks since Liverpool hired Jurgen Klopp to manage their struggling team. While that’s not a terribly long time in reality, we should begin to see the new manager’s effect on the team at this point, and what an effect he’s had. It’s also a fair time to look […]

Michel Platini’s lawyer, Thibaut d’Ales, has stunningly claimed that the FIFA Ethics Committee is seeking to ban the UEFA President for life. There is no word on whether or not this ban would extend to FIFA President Sepp Blatter. Formal corruption proceedings have been opened against Platini and Blatter by Hans-Joachim Eckert and the FIFA […]
Pic shows: Dong Lu. A football commentator has lost his job after a hilarious incident which saw him fall asleep and snore on live television while giving his thoughts on a UEFA Champions League group stage match this week. Dong Lu, the veteran Chinese pundit, was acting as co-commentator for LeTVís coverage of the Real Madrid versus Paris Saint-Germain match early Wednesday morning Beijing time, when he accidentally dozed off. In his defence, the 46-year-old had to stay up till 3:45am to watch the kick-off – in Madridís Santiago Bernabeu Stadium – and fatigue got the better of him in the last 20 minutes. In footage of the match from LeTV, Dong can be heard snoring at around the 79-minute mark, in an incident that had football fans across China chuckling. However, his employers at LeTV did not take the incident as lightly, as the man with 20 years of experience analysing football matches was fired from his post soon after. Dong later apologised for the incident and vowed to continue his profession through his personal online blog. The match in question ended 1ñ0, with Real Madrid getting the crucial win to secure qualification to the round of 16 with two games to spare. “Los Blancos” took a first-half lead through substitute Nacho Fernandez, who had been on the pitch for a matter of minutes, having come on for the injured Marcelo. Despite twice hitting the woodwork in the match, the Parisians were unable to get themselves on the scoresheet. They will have to wait until matchday five when they visit Swedish team Malmo for a chance to book a place in the knock-out phase of the worldís most illustrious club football competition. (ends)

This phrase gets thrown around a lot, but this is well and truly the most important Merseyside Derby in years. Generally speaking, it has always been an exciting game, one where form and discipline were thrown out the door. With both teams bringing in extremely technical managers, in Brendan Rodgers and Roberto Martinez, some of […]

With another disheartening draw on his hands, Brendan Rodgers finds himself in an unenviable position. With only 8 points out of a possible 18, many fans are hopping on the #RodgersOut bandwagon. This was always going to be a case to some degree with Jurgen Klopp still very available, but the form and style of […]
