Moratti clears out the old Inter garbage
Inter president Massimo Moratti may have dismissed suggestions that coach Claudio Ranieri will be sacked after the club's Champions League exit at the hands of Olympique de Marseille on Tuesday night, but the oil tycoon also conceded that he is considering overhauling his ageing, declining squad in the summer transfer market.
Senior players such as Maicon, Julio Cesar, Esteban Cambiasso and Wesley Sneijder have cause for concern with the Nerazzurri also out of the Coppa Italia, and needing a miracle to qualify for next season's Champions League.

Hasta la vista, baby
Thomas Vermaelen's stoppage-time winner helped Arsenal move to within a single point of local rivals Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League.
Vermaelen, affectionately
known as 'The Verminator', displayed the recent determination that has
flourished among the Gunners and Arsene Wenger was full of praise as his side came from behind to win in their fourth consecutive Premier League game.
They now also have a gap of three points over fifth-placed Chelsea and
look likely to grab a spot in next season's Champions League, despite
last week's elimination from the competition by AC Milan.

The Premier League pendulum
After
a truly monumental Sunday for the two title-chasers, it is now clear
that the Premier League pendulum has swung Sir Alex Ferguson's way.
Whilst his Manchester United team were swatting West Brom aside 2-0, Roberto Mancini was sweating in South Wales. A late Luke Moore goal was enough to give Swansea a well-deserved victory over Manchester City, which could have a huge bearing on where the league title will be heading come May.

The Strange Case of Dr Pep and Mr Mourinho
In the build-up to this weekend's La Liga
action, Jose Mourinho voiced his opinion that he shared plenty of
similarities with his Barcelona counterpart, Pep Mourinho. However in
response, whilst admitting the pair are both hungry for victory, the Catalan trainer chose to distance himself from the Real Madrid coach's comments,
stating that he would have to "revise his behaviour" if Mourinho's
views were indeed, true. Is Pep turning into his own worst nightmare

I'm over here!
Wesley Sneijder was Manchester United's top
transfer target last summer yet unfortunately for the English champions,
no deal materialised.
The Inter playmaker now seemingly desires a move to the Premier League
but with Sir Alex Ferguson focusing on other targets, Roman Abramovich
and Roberto Mancini will surely be keeping an eye out on the latest
developments from San Siro ...

Bielsa & Guardiola grill Ferguson
Athletic Bilbao put a serious dent in Manchester United's Europa League aspirations on Thursday night, recording a 3-2 victory over Sir Alex Ferguson's men at Old Trafford. It was a familiar feeling for the English champions, who were convincingly defeated 3-1 in last season's Champions League final by Barcelona.
Perhaps Pep Guardiola and Marcelo Bielsa discussed strategies for beating United during their famous 11-hour football talk at a barbecue in Argentina before the Spaniard moved into coaching ...

Messi stamps his mark on the global game
Barcelona may have breezed through to the
quarter-finals of the Champions League thanks to a resounding 10-2
aggregate victory over Bayer Leverkusen in the round of 16 on Wednesday
night, but there can be no denying the impact of Lionel Messi, who acted
as the catalyst by putting on an inspirational display against the
Germans in Camp Nou.
The Argentine contributed to the 7-1 scoreline with five goals of his own, earning him the distinction of becoming the first player in the competition's history to reach that tally in a single game, and also a place in Goal.com folklore after being awarded a perfect 10 for his, well, perfect display.
