Ireland soccer fans have vowed not to welcome this French soccer player ever to their country. Thierry Henry was quick to admit the truth during press conference and explained that it was the referees fault – the referee should have seen it.

Manchester United went down to Chelsea this weekend with a 1-0 defeat. Although, the Reds seemed to be at the top of Chelsea in the beginning of the game and throughout first half. The second half had a totally different story to tell as an uncovered John Terry sweetly headed the ball to the net.

The goal stood the test of the 90 minutes time as Manchester United lost and missed Cristiano Ronaldo once again. This EPL seems to be going to the hands of Chelsea as the most prospective winner Manchester United failed to impress. On the other hand, Real Madrid’s performance has gone notches up compared to their last season. The main reason why Manchester United is losing is due to low moral. Even the legendary Alex Ferguson may have problems figuring out an ideal replacement strategy for Cristiano Ronaldo. One thing is sure that Cristiano cannot be replaced singularly, for example, Nani is good but cannot provide the same flair to the game as Cristiano Ronaldo.

The one thing that Ferguson can do would be to get a couple of good finishers and playmakers to finally add some teeth in the United attack squad. This has been the third Premier League upset of the season for United.
