The End of an Era
Manchester United Football today announced the news all fans of the club and general lovers of the game would thought they would never hear, the retirement of Sir Alex Ferguson.
Sir Alex Ferguson is an icon to the game worldwide, he is most succesful manager of english football in history. Fergie, has taken Manchester United Football club to the extreme power house, he is the complete back bone to their success.
Facts
893 victories,
337 draws
267 defeats
26 years of service
38 trophies
13 league titles
2 Champions league crowns
5 FA cups
4 League Cups
over million packets of chewing up
The 71 year old was respected by everyone. People say he was the only one you wanted to please and be on the good side of – was the last person you wanted to make angry. I know I wouldn’t want to be in that dressing room at halftime if you’re having a terrible game.
The front-runner to succeed Sir Alex is heavily linked to fellow Scot and friend, Everton Manager David Moyes. This move could also see Roberto Martinez heading to Goodison Park. Whoever takes this huge challenge, even if it was the special one, would have an awful lot to handle.
Thank you for the service and what you did for the game. Sir Alex I salute you

Summer Clearout at Anfield
The summer is approaching and transfers will be happening. We all know the key to a decent team is to have replacements and weapons to use. Sometimes a club must unload players to bring players in, financially or whatever the case maybe.
Prime example, our leader and captain Steven Gerrard is nearing the end of his playing career so Liverpool football club must be proactive in signing a young, up and coming talent to replace him when the time nears.
Here are a few players of the current squad I feel maybe offloaded this summer.
Brad Jones
Jones is a good keeper, represents Australian national team. I just don’t think as a number 2 keeper he is strong enough to be called on. I always think with that Pepe Reina is complacent. Jones doesn’t push him hard enough for the number 1 jersey.
Joe Allen
Brendan Rodgers brought him in from his old club Swansea. I just don’t think it’s worked out for him. Not strong enough physically for the defensive midfield spot. Competing with Leiva, Shelvey, Henderson even Sahin kept him out from playing.
Fabio Borini
Again, like Allen was brought in by Rodgers from his time at Swansea. Borini has been at several clubs in the past few seasons including Chelsea. Borini has had injuries, but when fit yet to show anything worthy. Being the number 3 striker he just isn’t good enough, especially when he is the first sub to come off the bench offensively
Oussama Assaidi
I liked this guy a lot, he is a fast winger and is technically very good on the ball. Assaidi can turn defenders inside and out. Rodgers just hasn’t given him a chance. I feel he doesn’t fit into his philosophy which is odd because he brought him in. Just hasn’t worked for him, a little bit like Joe Cole really. Perhaps he may go out on loan.
Martin Skrtel
Form has dipped in recent months. Lost his partnership with Daniel Agger especially with it being Jamie Carraghers last season. Liverpool will need to strengthen in the center off defence and could offload Martin. Not consistent enough.
Stewart Downing
Downing is on the fence. Hit or miss. Downing had a poor start to the season but really improved and favoured by Rodgers in the latter part of the season. I am not really a fan, I think a bit overrated but does the job when up for it.
I think his best days were Boro/Villa.

Superman; Man of Steel
As some of you have read previous, I am also a big movie fanatic. One movie that I am extremely excited about is coming out this summer, Superman; Man of Steel
Here is the trailer that will make the hairs on your neck stand up – Only if you are a superhero nerd like some of us out there. This is set to be Epic. Superman Returns was such a huge disappointment, especially after the Christopher Reeve legacy – can you really beat that?
The cast Includes: Henry Cavill, Russell Crowe, Amy Adams, Micheal Shannon, Diane Lane, Laurence Fishbourne and Kevin Costner.
Superman: Man of Steel is released June 14th 2o13

Blues into Europa Final..
Chelsea secured a spot in the FINAL of the Europa league with a 3-1 victory over FC Basel. Brazilian sensation David Luiz was amongst the talk at Stamford bridge with a wonderful first time strike, curling it around Sommer.
Luiz also scored the last-minute winner in the first leg with a trademark free kick.
The blues will face Benfica in Amsterdam on May 25th. Everyone in US can watch the game like on FOX
