I am indeed very disappointed in Arsenal's last match..we held possession for about 70% of the match but had nothing to show for it. And I don't know when Gael Clichy underwent the transformation into a bird, but he laid another egg in the box. And Drogba, of course Drogba, blasted it past a slow reacting Almunia for his second. In around the 30th minute, Fabregas' long cross found Arshavin's danger run into the box, only to have his finish blocked by a desperate Petr Cech's leg. We looked better when Bendtner came on, but rushed things as thats what inexperience does. Arsene Wenger stated, “they're 29, we're 23.” His doing on letting go of his 'experienced' players(Henry, Hleb, Silva, Flamini, Adebayor, Toure) he can't rely on that excuse forever. A simple “We just weren't good enough today.” or “They were just better than us today.” would be a fair explanation. After just obtaining 1 point from a possible 9, it's obvious to see I'm deeply worried for our next fixture with resurgent Liverpool. We have them at the Emirates, but our home record against “big 4” clubs has been nothing more than disappointing. 2 losses in 2 matches, 1 goal scored, and 5 conceded. In other words, it's going to be tough. Prayers to the squad to be confident and more hungry for 3 points than Liverpool. When two strong clubs meet, it's not about skill. It's about which puts in the effort to want it more. Arsenal needs to want it more in order to win. The last 3 matches didn't show that as we were oversized up front and overwhelmed on the break. LOL If we walk alone, we will be beaten!!

Well Arsenal got another challenger this time , now Liverpool. In last six match Liverpool never lost on any match. So this is a tough job for Wenger, to raised young gunner moral and confident. They must not lost to Liverpool this time or else .

In the same time MU had a chance to take the top spot again, in mid week match. Well of course if Chelsea lost a match or draw , kinda doubt that will happen based on their performance.

What did we do wrong?

Everton made Chelsea look flat en route to a surprising 2-1 win thus leaving the blues winless against the toffees. 2 matches, scored 5!! Arsenal. 2 matches, scored none!! Maybe it's because we never took advantage of air balls.

Nonetheless the league is wide open for 3 clubs after Arsenal's 1-0 win over Liverpool. Both clubs came out with guns blazing. Fantastic end-to-end play. Fantastic build up only to have subpar finshing. Too many put over the top or bar grazing lasers. I was disappointed to see Samir Nasri subbed out so early I thought he played well, but Wenger thought otherwise. The game seemed to die down a little in the second half as both clubs were hesitant into fully commiting on the attack. Arsenal has been caught on the break against United and Chelsea so they were not taking any chances, especially when a man like Gerrard can thread long passes better than anyone since Kaka's splitter against Liverpool in the CL final way back when. Liverpool, on the other hand were just too cautious about losing seeing they were unbeaten in 7 matches. Build up just wasnt there, but the shots over the top and bar grazers were constant. We had a break through when substitute Tomas Rosicky's cross found Abou Diaby's head into the far post. 1-0 but still we didnt feel safe. Sure it felt good to have the lead for once Liverpools leash was let go..coming at full force. Dangerous opportunities against the gunners not taken advantage of. Gerrard had a prime chance to score on a free kick just outside the area, Almunia finally looked like a first team 'keeper for once. And that was that. What was then a 9 point gap turns to 6. And seeing gunners have an unusually easy looking finish, Val. Pips. You better hope Chelsea and United don't drop vital points from here on out. We're going to close that gap very soon if this happens. So the date to circle now is 31 April. Manchester United v. Chelsea.

GLORY GLORY MAN UNITED.....GLORY GLORY MAN UNITED. They past the first wave test , and they break their bad record cannot win when against AC Milan on AC Milan Home .

Real Madrid lost to Lyon, with a lot of big star they cannot scored any goal on Lyon home. Bad news for then on next match.

Oh My.... Val about to pitch a trouser tent ...try to control yourself ... Champion league first and AC Milan 2 Man Utd 3, out with the old and in with the new, the contrast could not have been more stark between Wayne Rooney clinically taking apart a Milan that clearly had no answers for his devastating style of finishing, and David Beckham whose most memorable contribution to this champions league encounter was his ?face furniture? with a heavy emphasis on the ?fur?, there were times I?d wish that posh had just run one of her bic?s across the footballer's latest style statement while asleep, nothing wrong with a beard in the right hands but the Beckham pelt looks like one of the sleeve?s of grandfathers moth eaten camel hair coat that had broken out of the loft and has taken residence on Beckham ?mooey?, I swear I had caught sight of similar emerging from some hut in Tibet, my Dad tried a beard on once, and it had all the esthetical appeal of carrying out a conversation with king kongs arm pit.

Oh well I have a feeling Beckham is hankering for a contract with a popular shaving cream company....But this was not the only illusion that seemed to irritate, Beckhams creaking legs had him rooted to the spot in dead ball situations like some waxwork dummy, surely Fabio Capello will take heed. On the other hand Rooney heading for a season best taking his Goal tally to 25 has brought United the advantage on the second leg ..

Premier League and Saturdays fixtures, Arsenal v Sunderland, 15:00....easy one for Kayoko ...Everton v Man Utd, 12:45, Portsmouth v Stoke, 17:30, West Ham v Hull, 15:00, Wolverhampton v Chelsea, 15:00 ....And Val I would never be seen dead in Uggs

Oh? But Pips, Arsenal's match against Sunderland is everything but easy. Last time we played, the black cats pulled the improbable, beating us while in fantastic form. Now, a little more cautious. More focused, more concentration putting every match from here on out as a 'must win' if we want any chance in raising the crown this term.

Wolves have pulled massive results over top clubs. Notables are the draw with Liverpool, and the 1-0 win over Tottenham. Knocking off big clubs are more common this around, but Chelsea has turned down every opportunity for an upset after losing to Wigan and Aston Villa within 3 weeks earlier in the year. Burnley put up a challenge so Wolves should do better. And for United, trouser tent no more Val. Everton CAN beat United. Will they? Not sure.

Arsenal drawn Porto. We've a high chance to beat Porto if we do damage in Portugal. Get one goal and we'll be in good hands to get past them. Afterwards I seriously hope we draw United. I want United out of the competition. If Milan can't fall the great red devils, then hopefully us gunners can have the pleasure of knocking them out ourselves.

And curling abunai is.. basically of it as the winterised version of the game cornhole. A more sophisticated version of cornhole. A person slides the “stone” across the ice, then the two sweepers use the “broom” to sweep the ice in front so the stone doesn't lose friction. Point is to put the stone into the bullseye.

Arsenal 1 Porto 2 ...Lukasz Fabianski....?Lucky? he isn?t after a Varela cross, fumbling Fabianski almost carried the ball into his own net ...best advice for Fabianski is try facing in the right direction...Poor Kayako I can hear the groaning here in my padded cell ... I think Kayako needs to remind Fabianski that the green expanse with bodies running back and forth is the field of play ..l...worst was yet to come as calamity Campbell... no to be fair the visible shock on Campbell?s face on passing the ball back to his keeper was painfully obvious as Fabianski just scooped it up, then you had to wince at what followed, in all honesty the ruthless way Micael quickly took the free kick and passed to Falcao, who calmly placed the ball into the net, I can totally understand how Kayako must feel as ?fair play? heads straight out the window...Wenger was incensed..Ironically Martin Hansson was the Ref who missed Henry's handball ....Let?s hope justice is served in the second leg...

Kayako order a Hot Voodoo Love... It's horseradish-infused vodka, a touch of sweet vermouth, fresh tangerine juice, and fresh lemon juice, a dash of orange bitters, shaken and served in a cocktail glass with a flaming orange zest.... ...
