November 30, -0001 • 12:00 AM

As millions of visitors descend on Munich for the world's most popular beer festival, Michael Mould makes sure football lovers get the latest from arguably the world's most popular football league. Manchester United ran out 2-1 winners in an emotional game at Anfield that Liverpool dominated despite a combination of Jonjo Shelvey's dismissal and injury to Martin Kelly leaving the Merseysiders with just nine men at the final whistle.

In the first half Manchester United barely had a sight of...

The world famous Munich beer festival has begun and if that alone wasn't reason enough to get you out of your cosy armchair and into the city this weekend, there is also an attractive sporting event to whet your appetite.

Oktoberfest Premier League round-up

November 30, -0001 • 12:00 AM

As millions of visitors descend on Munich for the world's most popular beer festival, Michael Mould makes sure football lovers get the latest from arguably the world's most popular football league. German star Lukas Podolski built on an encouraging start to life in the English Premier League with an excellent goal in a thumping 6-1 victory for Arsenal over a woeful Southampton side reeling after a difficult start to life back in the top division.

Podolski's 25 yard free kick was the pick of the...

Bayern benefit from benevolent Champions League draw

November 30, -0001 • 12:00 AM

After being pitted in last year's 'Group of Death', Bayern Munich can breathe a sigh of relief: the draw for the Champions League (CL) group stage has been kind to last year's beaten finalists. They will be joined in Group F by Spain's Valencia CF, LOSC Lille of France and FC BATE Borisov of Belarus. On paper, the group should play out according to the respective rankings of the teams, which would see Bayern as group winners and Valencia accompany them through as runners up. Valencia, third last...

The World Boxing Organisation (WBO) have released their latest ranking list and sitting proudly in No.1 position at light heavyweight is Munich's very own Robin Krasniqi.

The WBO's top 2 fighters were due to meet...

''If you drive a Ferrari you can win, if you drive a Fiat Cinquecento, probably not.'' Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini gives an unusual assessment of what is needed to succeed in the Champions League. The English champions suffered a disappointing 3-2 away defeat at Real Madrid in their opening fixture of this campaign.      

Discontent summer piles pressure on Jogi's boys

November 30, -0001 • 12:00 AM

The arrival of Oktoberfest means summer can finally be kissed goodbye, but for Jogi Löw's Germany the 2012 edition was not a good one. Germany went off to Euro 2012 with a whiff of a fourth European crown in the air and dominated the so-called Group of Death with wins over Holland, Portugal and Denmark without really hitting top gear. The quarter-final trouncing of Greece suggested more was to come from Löw's youngsters, but the wheels came off the chariot in the semi-final defeat to...
