Cristiano Ronaldo 36, after the penalty miss Manchester United's  woes  was compounded on Friday when Championship side  Middlesbrough dumped them out of the FA Cup with Cristiano Ronaldo missing a penalty.  The FA Cup is famous for surprises of this nature, one reason why the competition stands out among its peers.  It was a game that could be adjudged a one sided one with the Red Devils dominating possession but this did not translate into goals as United forwards kept misfiring at every given opportunity after Jadon Sancho's opener.

Troy Deeney has insisted that footballers cannot never stop breaking the covid-19 guild lines because it's in their nature to hug each other when they score goals to celebrate it. He went further to advise Boris Johnson to shut football down. The premier league has recorded over 40 covid-19 cases, a record number since the restart of the league. The Professional football association has asked players not to hug or hold hands as a form of celebration as a means of curtailing the virus but the Watford captain believes that it's near impossible to implement that since it's been a way of life for players. He suggested that authorities ban football from January to June or July like was done previously, otherwise people will continue to forget the rules and hug and celebrate. Football is one of the elite sports that were allowed to continue during the covid-19 national lockdown in the United Kingdom.

His goal scoring prowess is second to none and he has single handly pushed and kept BVB at the ranks of the elite.

He has scored 19 goals so far and is not yet 21. 2.

As the momentum gradually grow enroute Wembley for the FA Cup finals between Arsenal and Chelsea, we take a look at one player that has found his form and on the verge of history. He is none other than Olivier Giroud.  Olivier Giroud He has lifted the trophy on four different occasions with the two clubs that will lockhorns on the first of August and have shared similar moments with the current Arsenal Manager and few current players. Giroud and Arteta will no doubt share a warm embrace on Saturday evening. The FA Cup is a competition they both have a shared history in. Arteta was Arsenal captain when they won it in 2014, with Giroud up front. The Frenchman went on to win it again in 2015 and 2017 with the Gunners.Then he won it again in 2018 with Chelsea. With four behind him, Giroud is on the verge of becoming a five-time FA Cup winner.

A competition that started with over 736 teams has finally shrinked to only two privileged teams that will now battle it out on the first of August in a winner takes it all encounter at the iconic Wembley Stadium. The FA Cup is so special because of the many surprises it has pulled over the years, popping out less fancied teams that go all the way to lift the trophy. But that is not the case this time, the big boys came prepared. Chelsea has in recent times become a force to reckon with in the competition having won it eight times. 25 years ago, They had just an FA Cup trophy to their name, in a win against Leeds United. But from 1997 to 2018, they have amassed over eight trophies, four of them coming from 2006 to 2018 A period recognized as a transition era for the Blues.  This placed them on the pedestal of the elites in a competition in which they have been so good over the years. The Stamford Bridge outfit has recently woken up from their slumber and once again since their retu...

Chl vrs Man U Over the years, Manchester United and Chelsea Football Club have given us some exciting moments in Wembley. The rivalry between the two clubs from the days of Sir Alex Ferguson and Jose Mourinho has remained one of the most interesting rivalries in club football. So, Sunday hopefully will not fall s hort of expectations. Looking at the history of the two clubs in the FA Cup against each other, it could be said that history is on the side of the London Club. Chelsea has won four of their last five FA Cup ties against Manchester United, losing the most recent encounter last season.  If we are to go with that,it can be said that history favours the Blues. But aside history,there are lots of other things that must be put into consideration in predicting which of the power houses of English football comes out tops. Manchester United has been in a resurgence this season following the arrivals of Bruno Fernandez and Odion Ighalo. The two arrivals revived the disorganized Man...
