Article on Fanfeud: Oscar Brings His Best In Swansea Mauling

Article on @fanfeud: Oscar Brings His Best In Swansea Mauling #CFC #Chelsea

My latest for Fanfeud takes a envying look at Chelsea’s attack and Oscar in particular. A key component at Stamford Bridge, he was rested at Anfield in the Carling Cup Semi-Final First Leg, maybe a sign of the Brazilian’s importance to Jose Mourinho.

Notes From #UFCFightNightBoston - #ConorMcGregor Destroys Siver To Earn Shot At #JoseAldo #UFCBoston

During his systematic two-round beating of Dennis Siver, Conor McGregor didn’t deliver on his promise of ending the fight within two minutes, but he still sent an emphatic message to UFC featherweight champion Jose Aldo.

Immediately following the stoppage McGregor rushed to hurdle the cage to get in Aldo’s face. He stretched his undefeated streak in the UFC to five (13 overall) and will be…

“He’s come to England and he’s more English than anyone I’ve ever seen in the way he plays and in his approach. He has the whole package.”

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain has nothing but praise for forward Alexis Sanchez. The Chilean is taking the Premier League by storm in his debut season.

"People say these things because they want to cause us harm, they throw s*** at us, and the attacks are not coming from Madrid."

Lionel Messi hits out at recent press reports he wants to leave Barcelona. The Argentine scored in their 3-1 win over Atletico Madrid at Camp Nou, a game in which his fellow strike partners Luis Suarez and Neymar also found the net.

Look at the emotion, my emotion – you rarely saw me doing that. The celebration between myself and Arsène, that was genuine.That moment sums up my relationship with Arsène, my relationship with Arsenal and my relationship with the fans.

Thierry Henry recalls the reaction to what he has personally chose as his favourite ever Arsenal goal. After announcing his retirement yesterday the French striker is returning to our screens as the newest recruit to the Sky Sports punditry team.

The Premier League legend surprisingly picked scoring on his loan return from New York Red Bulls in the FA Cup against Leeds United as the moment that really left it’s mark. A goal that got the nod ahead of 227 other occasions he found the net in a Gunners shirt.
