Mario Balotelli scored for the first time in eight matches against Swansea in the Capital One Cup, but is that enough to get him firing again? If there is one thing, just at the moment, that Alan Pardew seems to have and Brendan Rodgers appears to lack, it is good fortune. That sounds like the faintest of praise for the Newcastle manager, but it is not meant to be. It sounds, too, like a defence of his Liverpool counterpart -- a whitewashing, an excuse -- but it is not meant to be that, either. A good manager is a lucky manager, runs the cliché. Maybe it is true, too, but it is not quite as simple as that. Football is all about... http://ift.tt/1nVeeBeManuel Pellegrini has Robin van Persie to thank for keeping title defence alive

Steven Gerrard says he won't retire, could make move in 2015
There were plenty of questions surrounding Liverpool when they signed Mario Balotelli from AC Milan in the summer transfer window. Those questions haven't stopped, the latest concern an incident involving Jonjo Shelvey. Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard has admitted that he could leave Anfield at the end of the season. The 34-year-old's contract expires next June, and he has not so far been offered another one. As things stand, he would be free to sign a pre-contract agreement with another club in January. Gerrard, who has been with Liverpool since age 9, insists he will still be playing next season -- but not necessarily for the Reds. He told the Daily Telegraph: "I won't be retiring this summer. I will play beyond... http://ift.tt/1zkGbGUMario Balotelli just needs time to prove his worth, says Steven Gerrard
There were plenty of questions surrounding Liverpool when they signed Mario Balotelli from AC Milan in the summer transfer window. Those questions haven't stopped, the latest concern an incident involving Jonjo Shelvey. Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard has urged striker Mario Balotelli to embrace the challenge of leading the forward line for the Anfield club, after promising to make modifications to his own game in a bid to ensure he is more effective for the rest of the season. Balotelli has not scored a Premier League goal for Liverpool since his 16 million pound move to Liverpool last summer, with Gerrard telling the Daily Mail that the weight of expectation on his shoulders are a burden he needs to get used... http://ift.tt/1sNvzYzReport: FA made 350,000 pounds from Twitter fines in three years

Soccer's high-profile collection of offending Twitter warriors have been fined 350,000 pounds by the Football Association over the past three years, according to a report in the Guardian. The 25,000 pound fine and three-game suspension handed to QPR defender Rio Ferdinand earlier this week for a tweet that was considered to have been "an aggravated breach of its rules as it included a reference to gender" was the latest in a long lone of high-profile stars whose tweets have got them into hot water.

Everton chairman Bill Kenwright says the club are making progress on and off the pitch after they announced a record profit of 28.2 million pounds. The club's annual accounts for the 12 months to May 31, 2014, published on Friday, showed that the Toffees' turnover -- the amount of money taken in before costs -- was also the highest in their history, totalling 120.5 million pounds.

Ozil and his Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger were stunned when it was revealed that the Germany World Cup winner suffered a "serious knee injury" in the game at Stamford Bridge, with the ligament damaged only identified by German national team medical staff several days after the injury was sustained.

Resurgent Newcastle prepare for Liverpool test
ESPN FC's Craig Burley questions Manchester City's recent form following their latest slip-up in a 2-0 loss to Newcastle United in the Capital One Cup. After three wins in 11 days, Newcastle United are resurgent and looking forward to the visit of Liverpool to St James' Park on Saturday. Newcastle looked doomed with off-field turmoil mounting and no wins in their first seven games, but the players have rallied and followed up their first win against Leicester with a 2-1 victory over Spurs at White Hart Lane last Sunday and a fantastic 2-0 League Cup win away to Manchester City on Wednesday night. The team Newcastle fielded from the off against... http://ift.tt/1rXxWc9Stevan Jovetic: The best birthday gift for me is a victory in the derby
Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini stated that his side are lacking confidence following their premature exit from the Capital One Cup. Stevan Jovetic is hoping for the ideal birthday present in the form of three points against Manchester United on Sunday. The Manchester City striker turns 25 on the day of the 168th derby and feels it is a good chance for his side to return to form after suffering back-to-back defeats. "Yes, it is my birthday. I am 25," said the Montenegro international. "The best gift for me is a victory in the derby.

Hull City head coach Steve Bruce said he was content with his side's draw at Anfield. As Hull City fought gallantly to hang on for a 0-0 draw at Liverpool last weekend, one forlorn figure in the Anfield director's box, wrapped up in a thick winter jacket, must have wondered where and how it had all gone so horribly wrong.

Romelu Lukaku is fit, Samuel Eto'o is a gift from gods, says Roberto Martinez
Roberto Martinez hails Everton's patience and composure in their 3-1 defeat of Burnley. Everton manager Robert Martinez is confident Romelu Lukaku will be able to face Swansea even though he limped off with a toe injury during last Sunday's 3-1 Premier League win at Burnley. Lukaku, who scored in the victory, has been troubled by the injury all season but has managed to play through it so far.

QPR's Charlie Austin scored a brace to lead Queens Park Rangers to a 2-0 win against Aston Villa at Loftus Road. The fear is back at Villa. You can feel it in the anxious mood of the supporters, who now know a match against the club at the bottom of the league can't be approached with confidence. And you can see it too in the decisions the manager makes. Paul Lambert got it wrong with not only his team selection at QPR on Monday night, but his tactical setup, too.

It hasn't been the week most Albion fans, nor Irvine, were hoping for.

The Argentinian centre-back was shown a straight red card by referee Keith Stroud for a tackle on Philippe Coutinho during stoppage-time in the 2-1 Capital One Cup defeat at Anfield. The tackle was deemed as serious foul play and Fernandez faced a three-match ban, starting with Saturday's Premier League trip to Everton. http://www.espnfc.us/swansea-city/story/2118392/swansea-win-appeal-over-federico-fernandezs-red-cardPositives to take from expansive Stoke's loss to Southampton
