Title Up For Grabs In English Premier League
Written by John Barnes on March 21, 2010 – 5:27 am -The current title race for the English Premier League is perhaps the closest ever seen for over a decade. Fans have often had to endure the usual two horse race or another season dominated by Manchester United, with Chelsea and Arsenal only the two teams consistent enough to challenge them. The three usual suspects are once again involved this season, but with few signs indicating which of them have a greater advantage compared to the other two. The battle has now stoked public imagination with no one knowing which club will become champions in May.
It hardly looked to turn out this way in the early months. Chelsea stormed out of the starting blocks and were far ahead within the first few months. Such was their dominance that many observers were already penning them into the record books for being a rare team wrapping up the title way ahead of time.
Something then went very wrong as the London team fell apart gradually. While recent revelations about John Terry might have led to more disruptions, the problems definitely began sometime before Christmas. Chelsea’s huge lead at the top of the Premier League quickly dissipated as both Manchester United and then Arsenal closed in on them.

Champions League – Barcelona Beats Chelsea and Gets to the Final against Manchester United
Written by admin on November 8, 2009 – 9:32 am -Chelsea saw their dream of being in the Champions League final gone away when the Barcelona scored for the draw in the very last moment of the match. The idea of having the same final of last year aE” Chelsea vs. Manchester United aE” was no longer available since Barcelona just needed a draw to classify to the final. For a moment, Chelsea and their fans had that revenge feeling, thinking they could overcome last year’s defeat to United, but it was blown away just at the end of the match.
Bara did a really good job despite they were not having two of their starting centre-backs, among them Thierry Henry who was injured, but everything was set up perfectly by Coach Pepe Guardiola. The Catalan team played a very good and neat game in the first 20 minutes but after that it became little bit harder for them to keep the pace since Chelsea started giving problems to them offensively.
The goal for Chelsea came at minute 9th by Michael Essien, who had been out of the season for six months due to a knee injury, and gave the fans hope to be on the final again and take revenge of what happened last year when Chelsea was defeated by Manchester United on penalty kicks at Moscow in the final for last year’s UEFA Champions League.

UEFA – Barcelona and Three English Teams into The Champions League Semis
Written by admin on November 2, 2009 – 9:31 am -After Barcelona’s 1-1 draw on Tuesday against the Bayern Munich in the quarter finals return leg, they assured themselves a spot in the Champions League semifinals that will start in May. This is the second year in a row that Barcelona gets to the semifinals along with three other English teams: Chelsea, Manchester United and the surprise of the season, Arsenal. T
he semifinals will be played between Barcelona and Chelsea and between the defending champion Manchester United and the Arsenal, assuring once again that at least one English team will play the final, which is programmed to be on May 27th in Rome, and this situation has happened for five consecutive years, showing that England has some of the most talented football teams in Europe.
“The Premier League is the best in Europe to have three teams in the last four” Said Arsenal’s manager Arsene Wagner, whose team has resurged over this season on the most important European football competition. “It shows that the Premier League does a good job and let’s continue that. I believe that it you want to go far in the Champions League you have to play an English team at some stage.” For its part, Barcelona assured their place in the semis since the first leg last week, when they won over the Bayern Munich 4-0 in a game that seemed very easy for them to win, and now with this draw, they enter the semis with an aggregate of 5-1. This also shows that Barcelona has some of the best players in Europe making a very complete team in all of the aspects.

Manchester United Tickets Availability
Written by Rob Dressden on September 16, 2009 – 8:39 am -Manchester United tickets are some of the most difficult to find football tickets for Premier League, FA Cup, and Champions League matches.
For home games, the team gives priority to members of its One United fan club, who can apply for tickets in a lottery. Entries usually must be received 4-6 weeks before game day and winners of the lottery will receive their tickets in the mail (fans in some countries might be required to pick up the tickets at the box office on game day).
For some of the games (e.g. Champions League matches), the period to apply for tickets might be much shorter. The best way to know about upcoming application deadlines is to subscribe to the newsletter for One United members. It makes sense to become a member of One United and to enter the lottery, because home games very rarely go on sale to the general public.
For away games, the team gives priority to its season ticket holders. Manchester United usually only gets an allocation of several thousand tickets from the host team and demand among season tickets holders is usually greater than the number of available tickets.
