		<description><![CDATA[Like all Chelsea managers, Rafa Benitez was a dead man walking from day one. Of the previous eight during the Abramovich era, only Guus Hiddink wasn&#8217;t fired, but the Dutchman was on loan from the Russian Football Federation for three months. Even the trigger-happy Abramovich would have struggled to fire a loanee. While the sack [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The case for the prosecution is now stronger than that put by the defense. The English media have been reluctant to criticize Arsene Wenger because no manager has been more helpful during the 16 years he has been in charge at Arsenal, yet as another season of failure continues, the press and an increasing number [...]]]></description>

The fact is, Ronaldo scores in most games, as his record of 183 goals in 180 matches proves. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Just under three years ago I received a call from a contact who knew people in a side of life that is at best described as shady. &#8220;Fancy making a few quid?&#8221; he asked, and I knew his reply was not going to be legal. I was told to bet on Forest Green Rovers vs. [...]]]></description>

It was pretty obvious that Robin van Persie would again be the dominant goal scorer. Roman Abramovich has fired a manager, Sir Alex Ferguson has given assorted referees [...]]]></description>

The Russian doesn&#8217;t lose out very often and when you have been to court to fight — and win — a £6.5 billion private case brought by your former mentor and business partner Boris Berezovsky then missing out on a manager [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When Bruce Buck came on the pitch before Wednesday&#8217;s League Cup semifinal first leg against Swansea to make a presentation to Petr Cech, the Chelsea chairman was booed. Seriously booed. There were a number of reasons for the supporters&#8217; growing frustration, the sacking of the popular Roberto Di Matteo, the appointment of the extremely unpopular [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It would have been a close call, but at the beginning of the season Luis Suarez may just have pipped John Terry as the least popular player in English football (the other contender, Joey Barton, had been loaned from Queens Park Rangers to Olympique Marseille so he was no longer eligible). The Liverpool striker and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Alex Ferguson doesn&#8217;t do embarrassment or apologies, so the Manchester United manager will not be bothered that he did himself, his club and football a public disservice with some ridiculous comments over the past week. He has an agenda and keeps to it. On Boxing Day, he gave a sadly typical display of non-respect towards [...]]]></description>
