Zinedine Zidane: A Tribute To The Best.

One of my first memories of watching football is seeing Zinedine Zidane float effortlessly past Manchester United in the 2002/03 season of the Champions League. As a United fan this hurt greatly to see but I only realise now: What I was watching then was a footballing legend in the making. It was this game where it was most evident that when a Madrid player was in trouble on the ball they would search for Zinedine Zidane and he would always be there waiting to take control of the match even further.

Why Football Drives Us Crazy.

Everywhere we look now in football there are millions of pounds being thrown around as if they are 1 penny coins. With all this money being spent the gulf in class between the 'Big Teams' and 'Small Teams' is widening.
Big clubs are spending ludicrous fees on players with what I must say good qualities. £20 Million for Stewart Downing, £12.5 Million for Connor Wickham, £33 Million for Alexis Sanchez and £28 Million for Fabio Coentrao. When you see then the likes of Roger Johnson, John O'Shea and Gael Clichy all going for extremely cheap prices one must question 'Are these over the top fees really necessary?'. We all know the answer to this question deep down and it is 'No' but we all know we love our clubs paying over the odds for a player because it creates a buzz around the club and around the fans.
