Manchester United loanee and soon-to-be-reject Nick Powell admitted that he forgot to watch his parent club's utterly pathetic 2-1 defeat to Midtjylland. According to Powell, he was too immersed in playing FIFA, and completely missed the match.
A stir was caused today by the pricing of Manchester United's away tickets for their Europa League game against Danish side FC Midtjylland, and the location of the tickets. One fan tweeted a picture of his seats. The picture seemed to show that he (and, presumably, his fellow United fans) was seated in some kind of giant cage.
The Champions League is back and produced a number of highlight quality goals. Chelsea traveled to Paris to take on Ligue 1 leading Paris St. Germain, while Benfica hosted Zenit St. Petersburg.
John Terry is a dick.
This is not a particularly controversial opinion to have, more of an accepted notion that pretty much everyone on earth who is not a Chelsea supporter believes (and even the Chelsea supporters know this, deep down in the bowels of their consciousnesses.)
Why is John Terry a dick? To borrow a line from the United States Declaration of Independence, we hold this truth to be self-evident. I mean, just look at the guy.
Kolo Toure scored the goal of the year in the Premier League. We couldn't believe it either, which is precisely why it's the goal of the year.
Now, remember that we said it's the "goal of the year" not the "best goal of the year." By "goal of the year," we mean the goal that most exemplifies the year in the Premier League. You can look at it a number of ways.
Much commotion surrounded the walking out of Liverpool fans in the 77th minute of Liverpool's home match against Sunderland. The walkout protested ticket prices, which have risen to 77 pounds in some main stand seats (hence the timing of the walkout). Borussia Dortmund fans are a lot like Liverpool fans in that they care deeply about their club and also ticket prices (they are also intimately familiar with Jurgen Klopp).
Borussia Dortmund fans planned their own protest of their club's rising ticket prices, but Dortmund's was a little more comical than Liverpool's.
It’s a fact: some people grow facial hair faster than others. At one end of the spectrum you have the guys who don’t shave for weeks at a time and still could look presentable at a business meeting. At then at the other end there’s Zach Galifianakis. (little-known fact: he shaves every single morning*) Most people find themselves hovering somewhere in between. Diego Costa, however, isn’t most people.
So, you know how everyone was saying Manchester United needed a striker, and Van Gaal responded by selling Chicharito and Robin van Persie, loaning out Adnan Januzaj and James Wilson and refusing to replace any of them? Yeah, that was stupid. Anyways, it looks as if he may have done one thing right by recalling Will Keane from loan.
It has now been over a month since Chelsea’s separation from Jose Mourinho, and things are already noticeably better for the team from West London. In fact, Chelsea are unbeaten since Mourinho’s departure and Guus Hiddink’s subsequent hiring as interim manager.
Wayne Rooney has forged many great partnerships on the field over the years: Ronaldo; Tevez; Berbatov; Van Persie; Van Nistelrooy. But those pale in comparison to his latest partnership: Wayne Rooney and Deadpool.
