Legendary Sir Bobby Will Die ‘Sooner Rather Than Later’
Sir Bobby Robson has revealed that he is losing his long-fought battle with cancer, but the former England manager insisted he will go down swinging…
Very sad news. Sir Bobby Robson is a rarity in English football as he has coached all over Europe not only with great success but has earned the respect of fans at just about every club that was lucky enough to have him as a coach. Newcastle still haven’t been the same since they foolishly let Robson go back in 2004.
Ronaldo: I’ll always be grateful to Man Utd
Cristiano Ronaldo says he appreciates how much Manchester United have done for him over the years.
In his interview with Publico today, Ronaldo insisted: “Manchester United – from the Glazer family, the directors, namely David Gill, to the coaches, team-mates and backroom staff – is a club that will always be dear to my heart. Whatever happens in the future, that will never change. I’m very aware of what this club has done for me and I’ll be eternally grateful, come what may. But it was because of this, because I knew this club was different and extraordinarily human, that I hoped that my wishes and my reasons would be understood.”
Enjoyed reading his quotes in this article. Say what you want about him and everyone but has the man has a good head on his shoulders to deal with all the pressure and attention he has faced since age 16. Most people would buckle under all after some point that but he has a keen self of who is he and how fits in the overall scope of the game.

Inter Milan coach Mourinho taunts Ranieri
Inter Milan coach Jose Mourinho has taken a light dig at Juventus rival Claudio Ranieri over their war-of-words through the press this week.
Sinnacle’s love fest for Mourinho contiunes.
“The story is simple. Ranieri spoke once and was happy and then spoke again and was happy and then spoke for a third time,” the ex-Chelsea man explained.
“I just spoke once and he was a bit angry. It’s fine by me if it finishes here – it will be 3-1 to him but my goal was beautiful.
“Nobody likes to lose, but I will accept the defeat. Nonetheless I will support Juventus in the Champions League preliminaries.”
