A little look at Super Mario

 Now Mario Balotelli has left the Premier League for AC Milan, if you
look back on his career in England it was over shadowed by his antics
off the pitch. From fireworks, to giving money to homeless people, the
college & prison visits he done a lot in a short time. He also did ok
on the pitch picking up a Premier League winners medal and FA Cup &
Community Shield medals. So when you hear Alan Shearer slag him off
about what he has done in the game, Balotelli can show him this along
with his honours in Italy during his time at Inter Milan, much more
then Shearer has even done.


 It’s a shame English football probably won’t see the best of Mario. He
was a character & I feel a pretty good player when he wanted to be. I
think City let him go 6 months too early. Aguero hasn’t been on his
firing best as he was last season. Tevez has not done much this year
and Dzeko is in fact Man City’s top goalscorer with 11 in all
competitions. However he is mainly used as a sub. Keeping Balotelli
until the end of the season would have given them another option up
front. Man United’s fire power this year has got them to the top of
the league and I think that will give them the title in May. The likes
of Rooney, Van Persie, Hernandez & Welbeck have all done well and as
long as they don’t pick up loads of injuries or go off form, they
should win the league.

Tottenham 0-2 Liverpool (2019)

On to the 2019 Champions League Final now as Liverpool returned after their heartbreak of last year and they faced Tottenham. An all English final for the first time since 2008.  Both these sides came through some unforgettable semi-finals. Liverpool turned around a 3-0 deficit against Barcelona. While Tottenham came through a hell of a tie against Ajax.  Coming into the match Spurs were left worrying about the fitness of Harry Kane. Kane came into the game struggling but declared himself fit for the match after missing the semi-final. For Liverpool, no real major injury concerns. It was the start that Liverpool fans could only dream of. After only 20 seconds Moussa Sissoko was penalised for 'handball' from a cross by Sadio Mane which seemed to hit his chest. His arm was out in an unnatural position and after a VAR check the penalty was given. It was down to Mo Salah who was so cruelly taken off injured last year to give Liverpool the lead, which the Egyptian did. ...

Is it time for women officials in top flight football?

Can they run they line? Can the referee a top flight game? Are they any better or worse than male referees? Or should they stick with the female version of the game? Richard Keys & Andy Gray have once again brought this issue in to football. Here are a few for’s and against women officials. The Pro’s Women have become part of modern day football. That is a fact. At all levels they plan the game and in some cases they run the show, for example Karen Brady. They now attend more games than they use to. You see them in the crowds, mainly in the home end sitting down not signing but they’re still there. There’s no reason to say they don’t know the rules of the game, especially the offside rule as its now become very, very vague to what it actually is! As long as their adequate and have the ability to do the job properly and fairly surely that’s all that matters. Could this be the key that brings a bit more respect in to the game of football? The Con’s Can the female officials take the a...

Real Madrid 1-1 Atletico Madrid (Real Madrid win 5-3 on penalties - 2016)

A repeat of the 2014 final now as Real Madrid faced city rivals Atletico. This time the setting was the San Siro in Milan. Zinedine Zidane was now the head coach of Real Madrid taking over the side in early January 2016, with pretty much the Champions League the only hope of success. This game was not as open as their encounter two years ago, but it still had its drama. Real took the league through fan favourite and one of my favourite players ever Sergio Ramos. The captain managed to get a touch on Gareth Bale’s flick on which saw it just go past Jan Oblak in goal.  Atletico had the perfect chance to level it up from the spot but their star Frenchman Antoine Griezmann’s penalty smashed off the bar and bounced out. Chances in this were few and far between with an excellent display in goal for Atletico by Oblak. With just over 10 minutes left on the clock Atletico finally found the net. A cross from Juanfran on the right-hand side was smashed in by the substitute Yannick Carrasc...
