This is a site created by two diehard football fans. One supporting Chelsea (with a side of burnley) and the other Manchester United! We are here to opine on all that's going on in the world of football but don't be surprised if it's done so with a bias to the aforementioned clubs. Read on and enjoy the beautiful game!

Manchester Vs Manchester: Top of the Table Derby
Manchester City started the season amazingly and everyone even United fans were forced to admit their amazing playing style, especially when they won the Manchester derby, 6-1. But a few slip ups from City led to United coming of within only a six goal difference between the two clubs. Wednesday, January 11, 2012

Double Post: England bleeds the colors of Manchester. Red and Blue
**I didn't realize this didn't post the other day when I emailed it, so sorry for the inconvenience.
This is a double post for a few reasons, first of all because posting two separate post at once is pointless. Also because they happened on the same day and that it is a few days late. But at the same time, I'm going to actually split up this post into two, because I don't want to pass up these headline opportunities, rather than giving it one main title.
Manchester United knock Liverpool off their perch:
Manchester United took the last necessary point out of their match against Blackpool yesterday, sealing their 19th EPL title. United already had a 6 point lead on chelsea with the blues having only two games left, the total points they could get was 6. Rooney scored the EPL winning penalty after Chicharito was taken down in the box. The game ended 1-1 but it was enough to clinch the title. The Red Devils are now the most successful club in English History. Liverpool still remain the most successful English team in European history but United are slowly chipping away at that as well. They are in the Champions League final on May 28th, whereas Liverpool seem to enjoy the Europa League. United didn't lift the trophy just yet, it will most likely be after the final game this weekend.
Manchester City crack open the trophy cabinet:
That's right, after 34 years without a single piece of silverware, Man City decided to play like a team with millions of dollars behind. They beat stoke 1-0. Tevez did lift the trophy, but there is news stating he might be leaving the club this season. His claims are that it isn't about the money rather it being that the distance he is from his family isn't making England an enjoyable stay for the Argentine. Although it is uncertain where he would go. Whether Tevez does leave or not, the 2011 FA Cup is staying with Man City.

“Come back when you’ve won 18”; We’re back and about to make it 19
In 1994, Liverpool fans made the famous banner saying “come back when you’ve won 18.” Well in the 2008/2009 season, United conquered that request but came in second the season after (last season), unable to make it 19. The clash between Manchseter United and Chelsea took place today and it was at the point where this game was going to make or break one of the two teams in first and second place. Winning would bring United closer to the 19th EPL title.

FA Cup/EPL Title Race
Stoke City and Bolton met today for the second semi final of the FA Cup. Stoke scored three goals in the first 30 minutes. They were dominating the match and this only continued into the second half, where Jonathan Walters got a double. Stoke city completely shut out Bolton with the final result being 5-0. It will be interesting to see how Stoke does in the final against Manchester City. Manchester is eager to a new trophy and they are the big guns in this final, but they cannot under estimate Stoke, of it will be a replay of the Carling Cup final, Arsenal v Birmingham City. Arsenal was looking to update their trophy cabinet after six years, but fell 1-2. Manchester City and Stoke meet at Wembley on May 14th.

United-Liverpool Preview
Manchester United will play Liverpool on Sunday, who will look to slim the chances of United’s chances at the League title. After losing to Chelsea 2-1, the chance of winning the Premier League looks like it’s now open to the top four clubs, Manchester United, Arsenal, Manchester City and Chelsea. Liverpool are also looking for revenge on United after a FA Cup game earlier this season. The game ended 3-2, with only two scorers the entire game. Berbatov had a hat trick for United while Gerrard took two for Liverpool.

The debut that wasn't at Stamford bridge
On the day in which illustrious striker Fernando Torres made his debut for Chelsea, the Blues fell to Liverpool 1-0 due to a return to flat offensive play and a helping of terrible game-changing calls by referee Andre Marriner.

FA Cup: Man Utd Move On
**Video Fixed**
**Mind the bias post**
Manchester United had a dream start against Liverpool as Berbatov was fouled in the box after just 1 minute. Some say Berbatov went down rather easily, but it is safe to say that mostly any sticker would have gone down in that situation because there did seem to be some contact. Referee Howard Webb pointed to the spot and the hearts of those who never walk alone had stopped. Legendary United winger Ryan Giggs stepped to the spot. Webb blew the whistle and Giggs smashed the ball to the right. Anfield’s goalie, Pepe Reyna chose the right side, but couldn’t even get a finger on the ball, as a result from the power that was used to strike it.
Man United 1-0 Liverpool The FA Cup 3rd Round - 09/01/11
About 30 Minutes after that, Rafael passed the ball to teammate, Michael Carrick, who was then tackled by Liverpool captain, Steven Gerrard. Although, this was not an ordinary tackle. Stevie G went it with both legs, studs facing Carrick’s ankle. After, Webb pulled Gerrard to the side, to have a quick chat, while everyone anticipated the yellow card. Webb
reached into his pocket and pulled out a red. When I say Webb pull him to the side, I did contemplate the fact that the challenge was a red card, but I quickly doubted myself thinking it wasn’t that bad, but after seeing the replay, it was obvious that the refs had been right.
There was little action after that, besides every single United player dangling Liverpool. Evans had a header that he received from a corner that hit the post. Other than that, the match was pretty even, based on goal attempts, but skill wise, United were far superior, they just couldn’t shut down on their opportunities. Fernando Torres played an awful game, show very little enthusiasm during the game. And no, I am not just saying that because it’s Liverpool, as a matter of fact, I think Torres is great player, but he really didn’t have that spark against United. Reyna was actually very good in goalie, having about four consecutive saves in a few instances. Kuszczak on the other hand, was pretty lucky to have maintained the clean sheet, not because he didn’t play well, but because there were a few instances where the ball caught him off guard. There was a shot from Maxi Rodreguez, where Kuszczak kneeled down as he caught it. This is a sign of a loss of balance, so he was lucky to keep his grasp on it. Other than that, he had a couple nice saves, throughout the game, and you couldn’t have asked for a better result from him. United didn’t necessarily have a nice composure as a team, but they got the job done.

FA Cup: Manchester United vs. Liverpool
One of the ultimate rivalries will be starting in just a matter of hours, Manchester United vs. Liverpool. This will be for the FA Cup’s third round. Besides one game in the Carling Cup, United haven’t lost a game this season. Liverpool on the other hand have. Their latest loss was their last Premier League game against Blackburn, which ended 3-1. The last time Liverpool and Manchester United met, Berbatov had a stunning hat trick and Stevie G had two for Anfield. Liverpool have managed to play pretty well against the big clubs this season, but it’s the smaller clubs that are causing them trouble. They have picked up their game recently, jumping from relegation spot 19 up to 12. Earlier this season, Liverpool beat last year’s champs, Chelsea, as Fernando Torres scored two to end his goal drought. You could say that Chelsea isn’t in the best position in the table either, but at the time, they looked to be one of the top four clubs in the EPL. And tying it up against United after being behind two goal takes some skill as well, but it wasn’t enough to match Barclay’s current top goal scorer, Berbatov. I’ll be rooting for United, but I am also hoping for an exciting game, much like their last encounter.Who do you guys want to win, Liverpool or Manchester United?
