Berbatov: Of Course It Was A Penalty
2011-01-09 18:26:00 One of the biggest talking points to come out of Man United's 1-0 win over Liverpool was whether or not the penalty should have been awarded. Dimitar Berbatov was caught in the penalty area by defender Daniel Agger, after just 35 seconds. Ryan Giggs scored the penalty, which was the winning goal. The decision to award a penalty has lead to rival fans to accuse referee Howard Webb of being a Man United fan and to label Berbatov as a diver. Speaking after the game, Berbatov backed Webb and told ITV1: "Of course it was a penalty. There was enough contact for me to lose my balance and people know I do not go to ground easily." Man United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has backed the striker by saying: "It was a penalty" "Dimitar says he was definitely clipped. The replay shows he slightly touched him but the momentum is enough to bring the player down. "There is no reason for him to go down anyway. He is not that kind of player. "He is on the by-line, he is in the penalty box. I th...

Striker Would Rather Retire Than Leave United
2010-12-22 13:56:00 With the January transfer window only days away from opening, Dimitar Berbatov has been linked with a move to clubs such as Bayern Munich, Fenerbahce and Juventus but the striker has said that he would rather retire from football than leave the club. During his acceptance his acceptance speech, after being awarded Bulgaria's footballer of the year for the seventh time, Berbatov said: "I fought to have a chance to play for United and now I can only go down if I leave. Why I should do this? It would be better to retire." The Bulgarian has played 18 games this season for United, scoring 12 goals. Five of which came in United's 7-1 win over Blackburn last month and he did score three against Liverpool earlier on in the season.

Berbatov Staying But Retiring From International Football
2010-05-14 02:17:00 Man United striker Dimitar Berbatov yesterday retired from International football, he has also stated that he will be staying at Manchester United. Since joining United in September 2008, it?s fair to say that the Bulgarian hasn?t been in the best of form, he?s been frustrating and is a striker lacking confidence. Berbatov has been the captain of Bulgaria for the past three years, not only has he had criticism from United fans but he has also been widely criticised by the Bulgarian press. "I am withdrawing from the Bulgarian national team, it was a difficult decision but I made it," Berba has been quoted as saying. "Sometimes you have to make the difficult ones. I though about it enough, but everything has a beginning and an end and that is today." Not only has the 29 year-old announced that he?s retiring from International football but he has tried to put an end to rumours linking him with a move away from Old Trafford. Berbatov currently has two years left on his contra...

Does Dimitar Berbatov Have A Future At Old Trafford?
2010-04-20 00:58:00 Since joining Man United in September 2008 Bulgarian striker Dimitar Berbatov hasn?t made the impression that many were hoping. When he first joined we all knew his style of play, he won?t run around after the ball a lot, he does look like a lazy player but he has a lot of technical ability, fantastic vision and some of his first touches are stunning. The problem he has is that he just doesn?t fit into Man United?s style of play. United are at their best when they are attacking teams at pace but Berbatov slows that down. On the other hand there are times when he can be incredibly frustrating to watch but seconds later, he can change the game with one moment of brilliance. He does have some good games but for the price paid for him, he doesn?t have them often enough. United paid £30.5 million for him, which is a lot of money. Berbatov has been a disappointment for the amount paid for him, that?s what it part of it comes down to. The price tag isn?t his fault; the fee agreed fo...

Berbatov On His Way Out?
2010-04-13 16:22:00 Reports in today?s papers, stemming from the ever reliable ?The Sun? suggest that Sir Alex Ferguson is ready to sell striker Dimitar Berbatov. Ever since he made the deadline day move to Old Trafford from White Hart Lane on the 1st September 2008, Berbatov hasn?t made the impression that he would have wanted. It is thought that Sir Alex has had enough and he is set to sell the 29-year old, even though he will get the £30 million United paid for him. So Berbatov may possibly be on his way out and the press have wasted no time at all in naming some replacements. David Villa, Karim Benzema and Sergio Aguero have all been linked with a move to United, most of which are very unlikely to happen. Benzema was one of United?s main transfer targets last season. He moved to Real Madrid along with the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo and Ricardo Kaka, but after a poor season at the Bernabeu he has already been linked with a move away. Rumours a few days back suggested that Man United had been...

Spurs vs Reading - ?Dimitar Berbatov, Dimitar Berbatov!?
2007-12-31 13:19:00 It seems pointless to start this story before 3.45pm on Saturday but I suppose every tale needs a background… …Christmas is over. Sunlight pours through the fabric of the beige blind in room and bounces off the bright cream walls like I’ve woken up inside the bulb of a lighthouse. They’ll be no more sleep this morning and no more rest at all. I’ve said I’ll head back to the Bakery tomorrow back to London life; reality, work and a list of problems as long as the fixture list in August. It’d be so easy to stay; so easy, massaged as I am in the lap of luxury. Every care of mine is tended to. Here, every meal is prepared for me with the finest ingredients, the most delicious flavours, the largest quantities. I’m beginning to resent having to chew it myself. Three stacks of new and non-released films sit ignored where I’ve chosen to watch effortless transmissions, like the Premiership’s Top 50 Foreign Players, instead on flat...

Is Juande Special Too?
2007-11-09 08:03:00 Hapoel Tel-Aviv 0 - 2 Tottenham Hotspur (Keane 26, Berbatov 31)Uefa Cup Group G Two weeks is a long time in football. In their previous European outing, Tottenham capitulated to a miserable 2-1 home defeat against Getafe, their manager Martin Jol was sacked during the game, and Dimitar Berbatov appeared poised to exit White Hart Lane stage left. Chairman Daniel Levy was not, you would imagine, best pleased.Enter Juande Ramos, the suave Spaniard who arrived as predictably as a Spice Girls reunion, but presumably has far more to offer. A heartening Carling Cup win against Blackpool ensued, followed by Saturday's 1-1 draw away to Middlesbrough. Small steps perhaps, but for Tottenham fans, hope springs eternal. Yesterday's comfortable Uefa Cup victory will have done little to subdue talk of the Ramos renaissance.A sense of perspective is most definitely required, however. Hapoel Tel-Aviv are languishing at the bottom of the Israeli league, with three draws and five defeats from thei...
