Hazard is tailor-made for Manchester

 

Eden Hazard is set to be one of the hottest properties in the transfer window this summer but the Lille ace remained coy on his future when questioned on Monday evening.

Sir Alex Ferguson, Roberto Mancini and Harry Redknapp have all personally scouted the forward, while Chelsea and Arsenal also remain in the hunt for the Belgium international, who has admitted he will leave Lille for the bright lights of the Premier League at the end of the season.

But when asked whether he prefers red or blue, Hazard told Canal+: "I like both. They're both nice colors. I think they both suit me."

Where will he end up?

Suarez has Terry tied up in knots

 

Chelsea may have lifted the FA Cup on Saturday but Liverpool had the last seasonal laugh as Kenny Dalglish's men ran out 4-1 winners over Roberto Di Matteo's charges in the Premier League on Tuesday evening.
Even more concerning for the Champions League finalists however, will be the performance of their captain John Terry, who was subjected to multiple nutmegs and an overall humbling by Luis Suarez at Anfield.

Chelsea pensioners enjoy FA Cup

 

Goals from Ramires and Didier Drogba helped Chelsea to a 2-1 FA Cup final victory over Liverpool on Saturday.

The Wembley win is a concrete sign of the turnaround in fortunes at the club since Andre Villas-Boas' departure in March, with interim boss Roberto Di Matteo leading the west Londoners to silverware and a Champions League final later this month.

Now, with the Blues securing their fourth win in the competition in six years, it seems the Chelsea pensioners are enjoying the comfort of the FA Cup...

Van Persie claims two trophies but Wenger is still dusting off the cobwebs

 

Robin van Persie was the toast of English football on Thursday night as the Arsenal striker accepted his Football Writers' Association Footballer of the Year award.

It was the second accolade of the season for the Netherlands international, who was also named the Professional Footballers' Association Player of the Year just a few weeks ago.

But Arsenal and Arsene Wenger remain empty-handed for another season, leaving the Frenchman to dust the cobwebs out of the trophy cabinet for another season.

Hodgson takes England hot seat

 

 The Football Association confirmed the appointment of Roy Hodgson as the new England manager on Tuesday, giving the West Brom boss a few short weeks to assess and assemble a squad ahead of Euro 2012.

Hodgson gave the impression of a man undaunted by the task of winning over England fans and players, despite not being the favourite for the job prior to his appointment.

But plenty of coaches - popular or otherwise - have been burned by the England hot seat in the past. Will the former Fulham man still be relishing the role after a while on the throne?

Noisy neighbours

 

It had been billed as the biggest Premier League fixture of all time, and whilst there may not have been the drama and incident to match the hype, Roberto Mancini's men's 1-0 victory over Manchester United signalled another turning of the tide in the title race.

Vincent Kompany's first-half header set City on their way to a vital three points at the Etihad Stadium, and while tensions flared between Sir Alex Ferguson and his Italian counterpart, the Scotsman was unable to inspire his side.

Instead, the Red Devils were left to return to Old Trafford with their tails between their legs and their noisy neighbours are starting to become deafening.

Roy Hodgson sneaks up on Redknapp

 

The FA shocked the football world on Sunday evening when they moved to appoint West Brom boss Roy Hodgson as England manager.

The news came as a surprise, and probably none more so than to Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp, who has been touted as heavy favourite for the role since Fabio Capello's departure.

Now, with the former West Ham manager having spent the past month suggesting half the Spurs squad will leave White Hart Lane in the summer, he finds himself in a right pickle, with the 65-year-old having his dream move snatched away from him by Roy.
