Football is often about momentum. In the wake of the Raf-Rant episode, the title race impetus seemed to be behind Man Utd. Sycophantic pundits (that Ferguson tea-bagger, ‘Mr. That night in Barcelona’ Clive Tyldesley being at the forefront) were unabashedly drooling over a sequence of Man Utd victories that saw them not concede for 13 games and attaching grating little monikers such as ‘the untouchables’ to the team.
However, it would appear that the proverbial worm has turned and Liverpool now have the momentum. After inflicting a heavy defeat upon United in their own ‘theatre of pomposity’ back yard, Benitez has signed a new contract, everyone’s talking about spending spree’s & new stadiums again, and you get the sense that there is a real ‘feel good’ atmosphere growing at Anfield.
The holding midfielder is the darling of the modern game - the thinking man’s player of choice. Those ‘in the know’ will tell you that their intelligence, work rate and ability to read the game underpin any great side. 
Football is a game rich in tradition. It began somewhere, possibly a pub car park, possibly somewhere involving grass and roots.
What’s not to like about Holland? The country has a liberal stance on everything from the sex-trade through to recreational drugs - and even defending. With teams’ ramshackle backlines and the attacking ethos, even an average striker can score a hatful of goals in the Eredivisie. 
Football; a pastime, a passion, or for many a release. It is usually argued that football is the biggest and most watched sport on Earth. Some people may stress otherwise and suggest cricket, think of the population of India alone for example and then add some. Or say a pub sport such as pool or darts, unlikely I'd say and in some eyes not 'real' sports but they do have large reservoirs of untapped amateurs.
