I was just sitting here reflecting on the season as I prepare a few things for next year, when it sort of hit me that, like NCAA football, a lot of teams came out of this season with something to boast.
However, a lot of teams came out of the season with not much to brag about. So I thought a quick match game would help pass the time…
| 1. Arsenal | a) UEFA Champs |
| 2. Chelsea | b) FA Cup |
| 3.... Continue reading » Feb 29
Check out this picture:  And then the accompanying caption: Shite Karma bites Man Utd. in the arse yet again. They’ve now drawn or lost their last 4 league games. They went down in the CL after Fergie... Jan 17
What a good start to my weekend. I knew the Manu v. Wolves game was on at 7:30 am, and I was like why should I break my sleep to watch Manu hit four past them? So I woke up at 8:30 and with nothing better to do switched on the TV. Nil-Nil. Then I remembered Manu. had a hard time with the Wolves the last time. Were the planets in alignment? Needless to say the game ended with a Manu. loss. Bottom beats Top. Upsets don?t come much bigger than this!!. I was hopeful when they won that poisoned chalice - premiership team/manager/player of the month. Manure has since... Jan 12
Reported in all papers that Fergie is to be investigated about financial wrong-doings over the signing of Tim Howard. It’s not a good time for Fergie. He is taking ManUre’s largest shareholder to court over a racehorse and his son, who acts as a players agent is also to be investigated. Happy days. Also, a point of some interest, the last team to score a penalty at Old Trafford was Norwich City in 1993! Nov 11
Yeah sure, it may be a bit early, but this party’s starting right in welcoming Leeds to Division 1 football, where they frankly belonged LAST year, but were it not for a lucky win at OUR expense… Bitter? Damn right I’m still bitter about that. Nov 02
Well, well, well….For a change Alex Ferguson has opened up his mouth yet again by trying to stir things up between him and AW, by insinuating that Arsenal “did a deal” with the FA over punishing our players over “the handbags at 20 paces” incident at Old Trafford in September. Looks like this has backfired on him now as the FA wants him to explain his remarks to them. I hope that the FA throw the book at him by not only fining him heavily but also giving him a lengthy touchline ban like the one his forgetful central defender (Rio) will receive for forgetting to...

I thought that this was interesting. Pay particular attention to which club he mentions at the end of the article! Title Looks Beyond Us: Gerrard Steven Gerrard has admitted that Liverpool are unlikely to win the Premiership title. (AS IT WOULD REQUIRE ACTUALLY SCORING EVERY ONCE IN AWHILE) Mar 27
Here are some choice words from a guy who has won exactly jack-squat at club level since leaving…oh that’s right, since leaving us… Chelsea midfielder Emmanuel Petit has aimed a shot at his former club by branding Arsenal’s FA Cup replay win “lucky”. The Gunners ran out 3-1 winners from Tuesday’s quarter-final replay at Stamford Bridge after absorbing heavy Chelsea pressure and hitting their London rivals on the break. Feb 17
Apparently Sir Alex wasn’t happy with the result on Saturday: Manchester United have refused to deny reports that David Beckham was left needing stitches in a head wound after being accidentally struck by a boot kicked by an allegedly apoplectic Sir Alex Ferguson. According to today’s Sun, Beckham sustained the injury as Ferguson - famously feared for his hair-trigger temperament - blew his top following Saturday’s 2-0 FA Cup defeat by Arsenal at Old Trafford. Here’s the full story from The Sun: http://www.thesun.co.uk/article/0,,2-2003072634,00.html Jan 15
As Arsenal fans we get used to the beautiful pitch of Highbury, which, I believe, was voted top pitch in the Premiership last season. Well, they do things a bit differently over at Stamford Bridge. Chelsea beat Charlton on the weekend on what could charitably be called a less than optimal playing surface. In fact, it was a beach. Chelsea are laying down a new pitch as we speak and figured they’d get a jump on things by covering the entire field in sand last Friday. They failed to mention this little bit of information to the folks at Charlton. As one would imagine, playing on sand is... Video coming soon!
