Oh now... I m really tired of writing this about Chelsea again being cornered by another Manchester dialect... Blues thrashed again in a time of 10 days when they had just returned from San Siro crestfallen with an away goal -the only ray of hope. It seems as if the blues are losing the sublimity they preserved so well in the first half of the season... Drogba is the sole talisman but for how long?? Someone needs to step up. Or United is just a point behind now and really charged by heroics of Rooney who is in the form of his lifetime. Lets see what unfolds in Premier League.

Chelsea drubbed again...

Demolition at Motera (Figuratively ofcourse..!)

I had a strange deja vu at Motera... Blues again faltering against the Proteas. And its the same demolisher again... Abraham de Villiers did it in 2007 knocking 217* and here he is again with a century in 59 balls... he loves Motera I guess.

India look to wipe SA in the ultimate clash at Motera

Hi all,
The razzmatazz shifts to Ahmedabad as Team India look to narrow down on the Aussies for the run of Numero Uno in ODIs. Passion and patriotism will run through the veins tomorrow as the Indian team will take guard to claim the 3-match series against the Proteas. Exams are there, but who would want to miss Team India lifting the winner's trophy! I m there no matter what... I will also post every little worthwhile detail here. Absence of greats(Sachin n Viru) doesn't damp the occasion at all as Ahmedabad is always pumped and buzzing to welcome their national heroes...

Jai Hind.

Mourinho exults after win over Chelsea

"I always play to win, so we do nothing to draw and keep the record, nothing! I feel no pressure about it. I feel the record is so amazing that I must feel very relaxed. One day I will have to lose, and when this day arrives I will be very happy because I will be able to say: 'I didn't lose at home for x years, I didn't lose at home for x matches'."

Anderson and Ferdinand Ruled out for season

Manchester United FC midfielder Anderson has been ruled out for the season with a cruciate knee ligament injury and Rio Ferdinand could also miss the UEFA Champions League first knockout round second leg against AC Milan on 10 March.

Anderson was injured during Tuesday's 3-0 Premier League defeat of West Ham United FC and the 21-year-old Brazilian will undergo an operation in Portugal in early March. He is expected to be sidelined for six months. "With these injuries, it's usually something simple. He stretched to pass the ball and his knee just popped," manager Sir Alex Ferguson said. "It's a bad bit of news for him. He was just getting back into the team after being out for a few weeks. He was looking forward to it and was showing great energy in the match. So that is a blow, particularly with the Milan game coming up, because Michael Carrick is suspended for that."

Also likely to sit out Milan's visit is central defender Ferdinand, who skipped the West Ham match with a back problem which definitely keeps him out of Sunday's English League Cup final against Aston Villa FC at Wembley. "We think he'll be back in two weeks," added Sir Alex. "I don't think he'll be fit for Milan, but I don't think it'll be much longer than that." United, leading 3-2 in the tie, are hopeful that Ryan Giggs will be available against the Rossoneri as he returns to training next week following an absence with a fractured arm.

UEFA EURO 2012

The final tournament of the 14th UEFA European Football Championship will be held in Poland and Ukraine from 8 June to 1 July 2012. It will be the third time that the final tournament is jointly hosted by two countries (after Belgium/Netherlands in 2000 and Austria/Switzerland in 2008).

Sixteen national teams will compete in a total of 31 matches to be crowned European champions. The format of four groups of four teams will be used for the last time in this tournament. The competition format will change for the next edition in 2016 as the lineup of participants competing in the final tournament will be increased to 24.

The UEFA EURO 2012 matches will be played in eight stadiums, four in Poland – Gdansk, Poznan, Warsaw, Wroclaw – and four in Ukraine – Donetsk, Lviv, Kharkiv and Kyiv. The opening match will take place in Warsaw on 8 June and the final on 1 July in Kyiv. No fewer than 1.4 million fans will be expected at the stadiums and the matches will be broadcast live in more than 200 territories around the world.
