Liverpool’s Luis Suarez bites player

Luis Suarez is involved in yet another controversy after the Liverpool striker bit Chelsea defender Branislav Ivanovic. Suarez started the latest fiasco on Sunday when he bit Ivanovic during their Premier League match at Anfield. The incident happened about halfway through the second half, with Liverpool behind 2-1, when Suarez sank his teeth into Ivanovic’s upper arm after a penalty-area disagreement. Ivanovic complained to the referee Kevin Friend, but Friend took no action. Suarez made a public apology last night to Ivanovic. “I am deeply sorry for my inexcusable behaviour earlier today during our match against Chelsea,” Suarez said. The Uruguay forward’s future at Liverpool may be in doubt after this latest controversy. Liverpool striker…

Chelsea’s Eden Hazard kicks ball boy

Eden Hazard and Chelsea are once again in hot water after the Belgian star kicked ball boy Charlie Morgan during their Capital One Cup semi final against Swansea when he refused to return the ball. Hazard was red carded for his actions, but information has emerged that suggests Morgan – the 17-year old son of a millionaire Swansea shareholder – is not as innocent as it first seemed.

Balotelli in fisticuffs with Man City manager Mancini

Balotelli and Mancini’s fight yesterday has led to speculation that the talented but troubled football player may be on the outs at Manchester City. Manchester City striker Mario Balotelli got into a “bust up” with manager Roberto Mancini on the practice pitch when Balotelli refused to return to the dressing room after he lunged at teammate Scott Sinclair. Mancini grabbed Balotelli’s shirt and tried to drag him off the field, prompting Balotelli to push Mancini. Balotelli is one of football’s most controversial players. He’s notorious for his bizarre off-field shenanigans and his erratic behavior on the pitch. Teams put up with Balotelli’s antics because he has the potential to be one of the world’s best…

Lionel Messi: the goal machine breaks record

Lionel Messi of Barcelona broke the four-decade-old record of former Bayern Munich and Germany legend Gerd Muller for the most goals in a calendar year on Sunday when he netted both goals for the Catalan giants in a 2-1 win over Real Betis. This was an exciting week for Lionel Messi who broke Gerd ‘Der Bomber’ Muller’s 40-year-old record for most goals scored in a calendar year. Born in football-crazed Argentina, Messi was destined for greatness from a young age. As a child prodigy, Messi ran rings around the opposition. But at age 11, he was diagnosed with a growth hormone deficiency, putting his football career in jeopardy. His parents couldn’t afford the medicine, but…

Suarez dives for Liverpool, Stoke’s Huth sticks in Das Boot

Liverpool forward Luis Suarez has gained a reputation as one of the Premier League‘s most prolific divers. Suarez’s theatrics reached a new low over the weekend against Stoke when his triple salchow in the area prompted Stoke’s Tony Pulis to call for a three-match ban for divers. The bad thing for Suarez is that when he is actually fouled, he doesn’t get the call. Stoke’s Robert Huth stamped on Suarez earlier in the same match and it was ignored by the ref. Liverpool drew Stoke 0-0 and remains without a home victory this season. In April we animated Ashley Young after the Manchester United winger dove twice in one week for penalties against Aston Villa…

Chelsea’s John Terry suspended for racial slur

Chelsea skipper John Terry has been suspended for four games and fined £220,000 ($356,356) by the FA Regulatory Commission for uttering a racial slur at Anton Ferdinand of the Queens Park Rangers during an English Premier League match on Oct. 31, 2011. Terry, who announced his retirement from England’s international side on Sunday, can appeal the ruling. The suspension does immediately take effect, so Terry, 31, is expected to suit up for Chelsea against Arsenal in their highly anticipated match tomorrow. ENGLISH:

Man City snatch Premier League from Man Utd

Manchester City won the Premier League title in dramatic fashion on Sunday, scoring two goals in the last three minutes to pip cross-city rivals Manchester United and win their first league title in 44 years. Tied on 86 points, City needed only to match United’s result to secure the title, which had looked lost a month ago when they trailed United by eight points barely a month ago. It all looked lost, however, with 90 minutes gone, with City losing 2-1 to QPR while Wayne Rooney’s goal at Sunderland had given Utd the victory they needed to secure a 20th league title. But Sergio Aguero and Edin Dzeko popped up to score two injury-time goals…

Ashley Young of Man Utd’s diving, cheating ways

Manchester United winger Ashley Young is at the center of a cheating storm after he went all Greg Louganis twice last week, winning penalties with two more outrageous dives against Aston Villa and Queens Park Rangers. Ashley Young is so good at diving that many fans are wondering if he actually practices his diving. Even Man Utd boss Sir Alex Ferguson said he is worried Young may get a reputation as a “diver.” But Ferguson won’t worry too much as long as Ashley Young’s repeated conning of referees helps Utd retain the Premier League title in 2012. Many in England blame the diving culture on the influx of cheating continental players since the inception of…
