edit:

JUST IN!!!...chiellini did damage...dutch fa reports say that van persie has torn ankle ligaments...i think 12 weeks was what they said was the duration of his injury...*scratches head

eh wasnt impressed much with the friendly..ben foster was solid but honestly he shouldve been sent off when he got nilmar...fortunate for england that luis fabiano missed the penalty, but england just didnt have the firepower to equalise...rooney played the best for england...and he captained the side..he looked good with the band..and he said that he'd love to captain again. sure, well as long as rio, john terry, and gerrard arent playing, there you go...

i think capello was wrong not to play ashley young, the guy brings tons of speed and 100% effort..not a bulldog like milner, but has a more better skill set than him..shouldve really opted to played with 5 midfielders and play joe cole...and im sure capello couldve found a better pick to play with wes brown in center than matthew upson..lack of youth players becoming a serious problem for england..all of the few prodigies play winger/striker..kieran gibbs and michael mancienne look to be potentially good players on defence but spend all their time in the U-games

also read up that real madrid legend ra?l considering retiring next summer...quite interesting...not very old being 33 but really, he did all a player could do...and did it in spectacular fashion with arguably the most successful club since the sport's establishment...he scored 226 goals during his 530 match tenure he played at the santiago bernabeu...

Manny Pacquiao defeated Miguel Cotto with a TKO in the 12th round.... go pacman!!!now the way is cleared for a Pacquiao/Mayweather extravaganza...

PACMAN T.K.O MAYWEATHER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh i watch that fight Manny VS Cotto , man i thought its gonna be slug fest. But Manny dictated Cotto the whole 12 rounds. Cotto got down 2 times with Manny right hand, after round 5 ah..... its over Cotto mentally already down even though he can dodge Manny punch, but cannot do a thing to fight back.

There is problem , when i watch the fighter profile before the fight. Why Manny height taller than Cotto, 174 cm while Cotto only 170 cm

also read about barcelona being linked with javier mascherano/robinho...
mascherano was looking to leave english football last season but liverpool held their tongue as they let xabi alonso go and not him...but he looks keen to join the catalan side now as reports say that he has agreed to barca's personal terms and expects to make 120,000 euros weekly...but rafa benitez said that he does not intend to lose both alonso and mascherano so its going to be a bidding war...maybe they can do a swap deal to lure iniesta to anfield...or maybe not..expect mascherano to be in stripes in january

robinho was said that he was looking to join barcelona after a 2 year hiatus from la liga...rumors said that he was interested but manchester city insisted that he was happy in england...we'll see which club has more money..he should stay in blue i think..i see no reason for him to leave

just a few things caught my eye this week. france-ireland match was very debatable..couldve/shouldve been a victory for ireland if they after thierry henry's handball in the box wasnt called..kevin kilbane asked henry if he thought it was a handball and he said yes...classy from henry to say that...and thats the only thing henry can do...'was it a handball, yes but im not the ref.' heard that ireland issued a rematch to FIFA to replay france...one bad call made this mess...ugh

another is that i noticed how strong african nations are getting in football...
recent results that got my attention:

germany 2:2 ivory coast
south africa 0:0 japan

african nations cup expected to start soon...bad news philipa..looks like kalou, drogba, essien, and mikel are going to be missing some time...imagine a essien/drogba final

upcoming notable fixtures:
arsenal : sunderland
manchester city : liverpool
blackburn : manchester united

chelsea's fixture?? eh..lol..if they cant beat wolves...you better hide philipa...

I think terry henry really frustrated that time, so he willing to do anything just to won the game. Even though that was not fair. Sad to see such a talented player do something like that

Pray?. 2 minutes silence for kayoko.... gone but not forgotten, Arsenal 0 ? 1 Sunderland, *sign*, Wenger downbeat after 'massive setback', I am not going to rub it in??

I wonder what happened at Chelsea?..Now lets have a look......kayoko can you help me out here, was it 4 something ? ?..Oh look Chelsea decapitate strugglers Wolves and retain a five-point lead at the top of the Premier League....

It was a classic Blues display,lead by Florent Malouda's 22-yard strike. Michael Essien added two more in the space of 10 minutes, heading home and shaving it in from the edge of the area, before Joe Cole lobbed it in on the hour. At one point Chelsea's lead at the top of the table to reached eight points with Arsenal's team going ?shopping? at Sunderland only for Man U to hammer Everton 3-0 in the late match closing the gap to five,Kayako Chelsea are looking good for next weekend?..

quick question are you acquainted with the Fusion Tools Wide Crimping Iron and Hair Dryer Combo?.best check it out ?


On a serious note Henry moment of madness has probably brought ?video playback? a step closer, ??..?Henry did everything except clean the ball with a towel before throwing it at Gallas??.

Henry is a legend and deserves his rank in the top 10 strikers of all time?but what a crying shame because human nature dictates he will never be allowed to forget this, ?Henry Handball? will be sung every time he graces the park..a player of his skill, stature, and natural talent does not deserve that....

well cant complain about that..it is what it is...we lost unfortunately to a mediocre team..an injury plagued mediocre team to make it better for you philipa...always happens to arsenal...so the stage is set...next weekend...chelsea ahead in top spot by 5...and arsenal behind in 3rd by 5...no game in hand now so its time to be serious on things...seriously..heading into the weekend...ive strong hopes for us but its quite a mountain of a challenge...chelsea is only missing lampard, but has tons of depth at midfield, while we're stuck confused on what to do...the whole team played bad against sunderland and the scoreline wasnt convincing enough for them as they easily won i thought despite having only 1 goal to show for it...35% possession for the game'll do that...

...wouldnt be so bad without van persie...wenger even said he was the team very much missed rvp's scoring prowess...so scoring might become a problem for us for a while...theyre going to have to get a transfer...no depth there when rvp is gone...all the other strikers are mediocre, not 'great' like van persie..arshavin is more of a wing player anyways so...idea sounds good but the thing hate about wenger is that he doesnt transfer enough...he always wants to replace star talent with youth...

about that hair dryer combo thing..never heard of that..link please...lets see

EPL/CL news

tottenham scored 9 goals against wigan...they looked godly as jermaine defoe scored 5...ties united as only teams to score 9 league goals in a single game..

inter looked sluggish not chasing balls around the pitch as barcelona passed all over them en route to a 2:0 victory with goals from pique and pedro

liverpool eliminated from champions league at the group stages...a very rare sight to see indeed seeing their european reputation..2 CL finals apps in the last 5 years...

arsenal secures spot out of group stages after a 2:0 win over standard de liege...

THIS WEEKEND!!!

arsenal vs. chelsea

arsenal struggling after international break left them without their best striker..and earlier this week, loses kieran gibbs to injury, thinning out arsene wenger's back line options...and chelsea, without frank lampard, will look to stretch their lead on the table win a win at emirates stadium...chelsea struggled at away games early in the year with losses to aston villa and wigan, so how shall they fare in 'hostile' territory when they visit north london? will didier drogba pull down william gallas and allow john terry to score? lol...sorry...we'll see come sunday.

No offend to Liverpool fans but this club need a rehab maybe change the manager .

About Arsenal against Chelsea , it will hard for arsenal with many striker got injured. While Chelsea still at the top of performance. Even last match Arsenal won but Chelsea were on fire.
