Boot-Licking ‘N’ All

Another tempestuous week in England has seen Carlos Tevez label Gary Neville "a boot-licker," Owen Coyle accuse William Gallas of "assault" and Steve Bruce brand Liverpool "disrespectful."

Tevez's unique form of playground name calling came after Gary Neville reportedly said he was not worth the US$41 million Manchester City paid for him after he left United last summer. Tevez gestured at Neville - suggesting the latter talks too much - during the Carling Cup semi-final between the two sides, and Neville responded by raising his middle finger.

Pellegrini Forever on the Precipice

Manuel Pellegrini is a man constantly under pressure at Real Madrid. This pressure intensified after the 1-0 Champions League defeat to Lyon on Tuesday.

The trouble is that Real's squad is so expensively assembled that the convenient solution to the club's ills is to replace the coach. Get rid of Cristiano Ronaldo because the team often play better without him? Never. Sell Karim Benzema because he hasn't made the expected impact since joining from Lyon? No way. Instead of attempting to build a team with more equilibrium, it is easier just to replace the coach.
