The Spanish Super Cup is over and with that it’s La Liga match time between Real Madrid and athletic Bilbao.

After their match against Barcelona ended in bad blood and with their coach Mourinho at the epicentre, Real Madrid will be keen to put the unpleasant memories of Wednesday’s game behind them, and get on with the business at hand.

But Mourinho’s men are nothing if not tough competitors and Barcelona can expect a fight on their hands as Real Madrid get set for a long La Liga season. And they will begin with a derby match against traditional rivals. In their La Liga opener on Sunday, Jose Mourinho’s wards will take on Basque side Athletic Bilbao. Athletic will want to take advantage of any disharmony in Madrid’s ranks resulting as a fall out of the Spanish super Cup fiasco. Athletic Bilbao would be fortunate to take any points from Mourinho’s wards but three points would be cause for prolonged celebration against their hated rivals.

There have been few changes at Los leones although it could be argued that coach Cparo was a major change as was the signing of Zaragoza’s promising midfielder Ander Herrera.

In contrast, critics may argue that their rivals made a lot of changes that were effectively useless by bringing many new players to the squad, such as Callejón, Varane, Coentrão, Sahin, and Altintop.

Most of these players are good in their own right but what are they doing in a team in which there are at least two players ahead of them for every position. Most of them may end up spending the bulk of the season on the bench.

These two teams have a rivalry that extends beyond football and that should make for a gripping enocounter with emotions running high among fans in the stands. Most of all, there should be no shortage of entertainment.

The teams have met each other at the Bernabéu, on 80 past occasions, all in the first division. Real Madrid has won 55 of those games, with athletic Bilbao taking 13. The remaining 15 have ended in stalemates.

The last time Bilbao won away against Real Madrid was in February 2005 on the back of goals by del Horno and Iraola. However, the last seven games between the sides have gone Real Madrid’s way with the winners scoring 25 goals and conceding just six.

In their league opener, Real Madrid will want to begin with a victory to announce their title aspiration, loud and clear, for all their rivals to hear and dread.

Roy Keane enjoyed over 12 years at Manchester United, he became the club captain and helped the team to win seven League titles, four FA Cups and the European Champions League. Keane made 458 appearances and scored 51 goals for the club.

Born in Ireland in 1971, Keane signed his first contract with Irish side Cobh Ramblers In 1989, and it was obvious from an early age that Keane was a determined and committed player. This commitment could be seen on the training ground and through to match days, his attitude that served him so well in his early days remained with him throughout his career.

Keane quickly established himself in the first team and his ability was obvious, even when he was playing against players older and more experienced than himself, it wasn’t long before his qualities attracted the attention of other clubs. Keane was invited to attend a trial at Nottingham Forest and he signed for them in the summer of 1990 for a fee of £47,000.

Roy Keane made his debut for Nottingham Forest against Liverpool at the beginning of the 1990-91 season, and gradually made more first team appearances throughout the season, a season which saw Forest also reach the FA Cup final but they lost to Tottenham Hotspur. Forest returned to Wembley the following season for the League Cup final, but this time lost to Manchester United. Nottingham Forest however were a team in decline and despite Keane’s best efforts they were relegated from the Premiership in 2003.

Much speculation surrounded Keane’s future, and he looked almost certain to sign for Blackburn Rovers, but at the last minute he changed his mind and signed for Manchester United in a £3.75 million transfer, which was a British record at that time.

Keane soon established himself in the Manchester United first team, and endeared himself to the fans as he scored two goals in his home debut against Sheffield United and a few weeks later he scored the winning goal against local rivals Manchester City. Keane helped United retain the Premier League title that season, and a few weeks later win the FA Cup against Chelsea, as United secured their first ever double.

The following season ended trophyless, as United lost out to Blackburn in the Premier League and to Everton in the FA Cup final. The 1995-96 season saw several new players and after a mediocre start to the season, but United went on run of ten consecutive victories in the new year to overhaul Newcastle and win the Premier League. The Reds then beat Liverpool in the FA Cup final, to win their second double in three years.

During the 1996-97 season, United retained the Premier League title, but Keane missed many games due to injury and suspension, but he always remained a big influence on the team when he did play.

At the beginning of the 1997-98 season Roy Keane was appointed as the club captain, after the shock retirement of Eric Cantona, but a few games into the season Keane sustained a cruciate ligament injury that would see him miss the rest of the season. On the pitch, United lost out on the Premier League title to Arsenal, many fans believe had Keane been available, United would have won the title again.

1998-99 was an amazing season for Manchester United, as they went onto win the treble of the Premier league, FA Cup and European Champions League. Keane himself missed the Champions League final through suspension, which he later described as being his worst experience in football.

United won the title again the following year, their sixth in eight years, although they failed to retain the Champions League. Keane was voted as premier League Player of the Year.

Keane won another title in 2003 and remained at Manchester United until November 2005, when the surprise announcement was made that he was leaving the club by mutual consent, he joined Celtic a month later. Roy Keane was always passionate, highly competitive, sometimes outspoken and controversial, but he will always be remembered as one of United’s greatest ever players.

After being deemed surplus to requirements at Atletico Madrid, Uruguayan striker Diego Forlan is expected to try his luck in the Premier League once more after a previous unsuccessful spell with Manchester United between 2002 and 2004. It is fact that some continental players cannot cope with the physical demands of the English Premier League and also struggle to adjust to the weather, lifestyle and culture. We have listed a few «superstar» players who came to play in the Premier League and ultimately went back with tail between legs.

Diego Forlan – Joined Manchester United in 2002 from Argentinian side Independiente and only managed to score 17 goals in 95 appearances for the Premier League champions. This statistic paled in comparison to fellow striker Ruud Van Nistelrooy’s tally of 150 goals in 210 appearances and Forlan was soon offloaded to Spain when Wayne Rooney joined the club in 2004.

Winston Bogarde – Often ridiculed by fans of English football, Bogarde took full advantage of his lucrative contract at Chelsea by refusing to leave the club even though he was reduced to playing with the reserves and even the youth teams. He eventually saw out his contract and subsequently retired from playing when it expired – he was on a reported £40,000 per week!

Juan Sebastian Veron – When Manchester United shelled out a then English transfer record of £28.1 million many people thought that they were getting a genuine world class superstar. Unfortunately Veron couldn’t handle the pace of the Premiership and wasn’t allowed the time and space he was used to and he was often very ineffective in games. United were lucky to recoup £15 million for Veron from Chelsea 2 years later but he was ineffective there too and after spending 2 seasons on loan abroad he moved back permanently.

Hernan Crespo – A prolific scorer wherever he played, Crespo found himself in South London with Chelsea in 2003 after signing from Inter Milan for £16.8 million. When Jose Mourinho took over as Chelsea manager in 2004 he was loaned out to AC Milan, then returned back to Chelsea, then loaned out again to Inter Milan. Although Crespo scored 20 goals in 49 appearances he never fully adapted to the English game and is subsequently regarded as a transfer flop.

Jon Dahl Tomasson – After being selected for the award of Best Dutch Talent in 1996 whilst at Heerenveen, Tomasson was in high demand and eventually chose to join Newcastle United to form, what then manager Kenny Dalglish said would be a perfect partnership with Alan Shearer. Although the partnership started well, Shearer got injured and Tomasson was played out of position as a striker instead of attacking midfielder. He wasn’t comfortable with this new role and his performances were well below par. He ended up scoring 4 goals in 35 appearances for the Toon before returning to Holland with Feyenoord where his career was revitalised and he ended up as one of the best players in his position in Europe.

Tomas Brolin – After impressing for Sweden at Euro 92 and the World Cup in 1994, Brolin signed for Leeds United in 1995 from Italian side Parma. He was expected to make a huge impact but unfortunately this never came to fruition as a fallout with then manager Howard Wilkinson about his defensive abilities and the fact that he didn’t pull his weight meant that he spent a lot of time on the subs bench. After a farcical couple of years where he went to FC Zurich and Parma on loan and also joined Crystal Palace, Brolin retired from football at the age of 29 and has since held the accolade of the worse signing in the history of Leeds United.

Andrei Shevchenko – Arguably the best striker in the world at the turn of the new century, Shevchenko left AC Milan for Chelsea with a record of 173 goals in 296 games for £30.8 million. An indifferent spell in West London resulted in the player netting 9 times in 43 games over a 3 year spell. He spent a year back at AC Milan which was also unsuccessful and he ultimately ended up back at his first club Dinamo Kiev.

Sergei Rebrov – Shevchenko’s Dinamo Kiev strike partner signed for Tottenham Hotspur for £11 million in June 2000 but never realy shone and a return of 10 goals in 60 appearances for the club resulted in him getting shipped out on loan to Fenerbache. He then returned to England with West Ham and had another poor spell only scoring once in 27 games before returning back to the Ukraine with Kiev.

2005/06 Cup Progress

FA Cup Fourth Round vs West Ham United (a) – lost 4-2.

Carling Cup Semi Finals vs Manchester United – lost 3-2 on aggregate.

Top Goal Scorer 2005/06: Craig Bellamy (striker) – 17 goals.

Players In

Benni McCarthy (FC Porto – £2,500,000), Jason Roberts (Wigan Athletic – Undisclosed), Zura Khizanishvili (Rangers – Free), Francis Jeffers (Charlton Athletic – Free), Jason Brown (Gillingham – Free).

Players Out

Craig Bellamy (Liverpool – £6,000,000), Paul Dickov (Manchester City – Free), Gary Harkins (Grimsby Town – Free), Lorenzo Amoruso (Released), Vratislav Gresko (Released), Steven Drench (Released).

Blackburn Rovers were the Premier League’s surprise package last season by securing a sixth placed finish following two seasons just above the relegation zone. Mark Hughes transformed the underachieving former champions and got the best out of bad boy Craig Bellamy, who finished the season as the club’s top goal scorer.

Bellamy’s outstanding form did not go unnoticed and Liverpool snapped him up for a bargain £6 million but Hughes has been quick to sign replacement attacking options. Porto striker Benni McCarthy arrived for an undisclosed fee believed to be £2.5 million. The South Africa international was art of the Porto side that won the Champions League in 2004 and signed a four year contract at Ewood Park. McCarthy has won 60 caps for South Africa and has scored 26 goals. He retired from international football after the World Cup in 2002 but reversed his decision two years later.

Wigan Athletic striker Jason Roberts also signed a four year deal, again for an undisclosed fee. Roberts was Wigan’s top scorer last season with 14 goals and Hughes swooped after he turned down a new contract to extend his stay with the Latics.

Francis Jeffers completed a hat-trick of new strikers arriving at the club this summer, with the former Everton and Arsenal forward joining on a free transfer from Charlton Athletic. Hughes has also been linked with Nicolas Anelka, who has Premiership experience with Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester City and Mido, who spent 18 months on loan at Tottenham Hotspur from Serie A side AS Roma.

Verdict

Blackburn’s involvement in the UEFA Cup next season will add strain to Mark Hughes’ squad which still lacks some strength in depth. It is unlikely they will be able to recreate last season’s sixth placed finish and mid table is more likely should they progress to the later stages in Europe.

The FA Cup is the oldest association football competition in the world and an enormously important symbol of the History of Football in England. In 1872, Wanderers Football Club won the first title in the history of FA Cup football. The record for the most wins is held by Manchester United with 11 triumphs, followed by Arsenal with 10 and Tottenham Hotspur with 8. The trophy is held by Wigan Athletic, who defeated Manchester City 1-0 in the 2013 final.

FA Cup Football in the 1940s

1940s was a decade of war. World War II was a global war that lasted from 1939 to 1945. Two Opposing military alliances fought against each other, the Allies and the Axis. Large parts of the European continent were war zones; to play the FA Cup was not to think about. Both the Football League and the FA Cup were canceled during the war. FA reinstated the tournament as soon as the war ended. The first post-war final was played between Derby County and Charlton Athletic.

Attendance figures at the Finals increased during the postwar period. All finals in the 1940s had over 98 000 spectators (1946-98,000|1947-98,215|1948-99,842|1949-98,920). Charlton was the only club that played two FA Cup finals in the 1940s. Both finals Charlton participated in went to extra time. In 1946 they lost after conceding three goals in extra time against Derby. A year later, they won against Burnley since Duffy scored the only goal in the game in the 114th minute.

Club of the decade: Charlton Athletic Football Club was founded on June 1905. Charlton have played two Finals in their history. Both times were in the 1940s. In 1947 they won the Cup thanks to a late goal from Scottish striker Chris Duffy.

Player of the decade: Charlton fullback Bert Turner was probably not the decade’s best players. Scoring for both sides in a FA Cup Final gets you in on the top of the list of the Player of the decade. It’s not just that Turner scored both Charlton and opponents Derby but it only differs one minute between the goals. The game was goalless until the 85th minute, when Turner tried to kick the ball clear, but only managed to put the ball into his own net. In the next minute Charlton fullback Bert Turner scored for his own team when he took a freekick that was deflected past Woodley in to the net. Turner played 179 games for Charlton scoring two goals.

He did not do well at school. He attended a training session at FC Barcelona as part of talent competition. The first club he played for was «Tottenham Hotspur’s» and finally in 1991 he signed a youth training scheme contract.

He started off by playing for Manchester United in the youth team. The Manager, Sir Alex Ferguson had a great faith in his youth team. Beckham did not disappoint and quickly established himself as United’s right side mid fielder. He played very consistently and regularly for Manchester United, but could not find a place in the England squad before ’96. He made some spectacular goals and thus became a house hold name very soon. His performance in 1998-99 seasons fetched him the «runner up» to Rivaldo for the 1999 European footballer of the year awards. He was the highest paid foot ball player in the world. During this time United won the Premier league; title six times, the FA cup twice and the UEFA champions’ league in 1999.

Bruce Grobbelaar spent nearly fourteen years at Liverppol, and will probably be remembered for his eccentricities on the pitch as well as his great goalkeeping skills, the fact remains that he won six League titles, three FA Cups, three League Cups and famously one European Cup in 1984.

Born in 1957 in Zimbabwe, South Africa, Grobberlaar was signed from North America side Vancouver Whitecaps for 250,000 in March 1981 by then manager Bob Paisley. Within months of signing he secured a regular first team place after Liverpool goalkeeping legend Ray Clemence signed for Tottenham Hotspur.

An amazing 310 consecutive appearances for Liverpool over five seasons then followed, although it wasn’t all plain sailing. Some erratic performances and errors, for which Grobberlaar took the blame, saw Liverpool languishing in the mid-table of the first division and seemingly out of the title race, however a dramatic resurgence at the turn of the year saw Liverpool win the league title during his first season at the club, as well as beating Tottenham in the League Cup final.

The Liverpool fans soon warmed to Grobbelaar, he showed superb reflexes as a goalkeeper and had great natural ability, always vocal, he displayed a great command of his penalty area and would often be seen berating his defenders, often described as flamboyant he was also renowned for his eccentric moments, punching the ball when it could easily have been caught, or catching the ball with just one hand rather than two. He was renowned for his long throws and dribbling the ball up the pitch or even running up the pitch to contest a header in the centre circle. Heart stopping one minute, and making breath taking saves the next, he would always keep the crowd on their toes, and even entertained the fans by doing handstands on the pitch while the ball was in play.

One of Bruce Grobbelaar’s most famous moments was during the 1984 European Cup final penalty shoot-out he wobbled his legs in ‘mock terror’ before the penalty kicks were taken, many believe this made two of the Milan players totally miss their penalty kicks, as Liverpool went on to win the trophy.

When Liverpool signed David James, there was greater competition for the goalkeepers jersey, and after two very competitive seasons, in 1994 Bruce Grobbelaar finally left Liverpool after making 628 appearances for the club, for whatever reason, he will never be forgotten.

As rivalries go, the competition between Manchester City and Manchester United (lovingly known as Man. U by its fans, and by many other less affectionate name by rivals) is a strange one. Unlike Edinburgh’s Hearts and Hibs or Liverpool’s Everton and LFC, City and United’s fans aren’t known for being from two different sections of town.

No, in Manchester the divide is much simpler — Mancunians root for City, and everybody else? Well, they go nuts for United.

As some City fans like to say, Old Trafford (United’s famous home ground) isn’t actually within Manchester’s city limits — «and neither are 98% of United fans.»

Indeed, United has official supporters clubs spread far and wide, from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, to Shanghai, China,  from Ottawa, Canada, to Sydney, Australia. Osama bin Laden was even rumoured to be a Man U  fan in his youth.

So where does the rivalry between the two originate, and what is it about the sides that makes their supporters go wild?

Part of the rivalry may stem from the different expectations that surround each of them. Founded as Newton Heath L&YR F.C. in 1878 as the works team of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway depot — two years before City — United boasts a world-wide reputation and is usually found in the top-5 teams in the English Premiership. Because of this, supporters from out-of-town (and out-of-country) fill Manchester hotels well in advance of games, chomping at the bit for the opportunity to watch excellent players who are famous the world over.

Conversely, fans of Man City — founded as St. Mark’s (West Gorton) in 1880 by Anna Connell and two churchwardens of St. Mark’s Church, in Gorton, east Manchester, and claimed to have early links to local Freemasonry — tend to be native Mancunians.

At local derby time it can turn into quite a production. For fully-booked hotels Manchester natives are not the customers to expect. Rather, they support City with enthusiasm.

What are the prospects for each team in the upcoming season? Manchester United has a strong team, but some of their players are looked at as being past their best playing days. Sir Alex Ferguson, who has managed the team since 1986, might need to push the players harder to have the same level of success Man U has enjoyed in previous years. Manchester City, with its more home-grown reputation, should perform to expectations in the upcoming season — but bear in mind that for many City fans, a season where they beat their rival neighbors and win bragging rights over out-of-town Man U fans can usually be considered a successful one.

In booking a trip to see either teams, it’s a good idea to plan ahead, especially when traveling to Manchester during a United game. This is when Manchester’s hotels fill up far in advance, especially those located around Old Trafford, and leaving your plans till the last minute can mean you (and anyone traveling with you to see the game) might be left out in the cold.

The 2009-2010 season promises to be an exciting one for both of Manchester’s Premier League teams. Who will come out next May with the better record and happier fans? Time will tell, but for many, the choice of who to support is already made.

Jo Nesbo was born in Norway 1960. He is an author and musician, but it has not always been like that. He grew up in a city named Molde, where he spent most of his time playing football. He grew up with the dream to become a professional player for Tottenham Hotspur FC in England. Unfortunately he suffered some very bad injuries in both hs knees and had to retire from football at a very young age.

Nesbo did not become a pro footballer, but he moved on with studies and graduated from Norwegian School of Economics and Business Administration with a degree in Economics. After that he started working as freelance journalist, stockbroker and musician, and later moved on to writing books.

Nesbo is a multi talented guy who had great success in everything he do. As a songwriter and musician he have done very good in his home country. He made one album where he went solo, and 5 albums with the band Di Derre. As an author his books have been translated into almost 40 different languages.

Jo Nesbo, the author

Nesbo have written 14 books since his debut in 1997. The latest book «The Leopard» sold over 160 000 in the first week in his home country (less than 5 million inhabitants) and at in 2008 it was the fastest selling Norwegian novel ever. He sold a total of about 1,5 million books in total in Norwegian (Number from 2008). He won lots of prizes for his books and was even shortlisted for Crime Writers’ Associations Duncan Lawrie International Dagger 2007.

Harry Hole series.

Nesbo started out writing about Harry Hole, a tough detective working to solve crimes on the streets of Oslo. He takes on murderers, bank robbers, gangsters and the establishment. The series about Harry Hole is the best known and most sold books from the author.

Doctor Proctor series.

Follows the story of Doctor Proctor, a crazy professor who is waiting for his big break, his next-door neighbor Lise and her peculiar friend Bulle. The ruthless twins Truls and Trym Thrane sometime lurk in the background. This series is reminiscent of Roald Dahl’s books. It deals with the «importance of being who you are and the ability of human creativity and imagination to give you the courage to do so».

Nesbo have also written two stand alone novels, a documentary and collection of short stories in one book.

I would give the advice to try out the books from this great author.
