Final weekend, AIK lead IFK Göteborg atop the Allsvenskan table by a lone, solitary, unloved
point. AIK play, you guessed it, IFK Göteborg in Gothenburg; Charlie Kaufman could hardly have
scripted this better. With matters level at one late on (4.10 post-jump), Stefan Selakovic of IFK
unleashes the most audacious left footed curler from the [.

out of English League Cup with a 2-1 scoreline.

Boom! And a pun to start the week off right! Arsenal Manager Arsene Wenger is alleging that
Manchester United are guilty of playing "anti-football" and also that Sir Alex pushed him down on
the playground and called him names.
Wenger was/is/will always remain incensed after his side's 2-1 loss to United on Saturday.

Wenger kicks a water bottle in frustration and was sent off by referee Mike Dean.That incident
pretty much summed up Arsenal's game at Old Trafford. Hard luck.. Arsene Wenger ended the evening a
defeated man although they dominated much of the proceedings.Manchester United won the match 2-1.

Well what a dissapointing end to a good start! Typical Arsenal; control the game and then score
but don't take advantage, by scoring another goal when on top. Then stupidity from Almunia allows
an equaliser, then I'm not even gonna try to explain Diaby's actions. What was he thinking?
Although Almunia was to blame again, he should of collected the ball from the cross.

Not only did the Yokohama defender miss Wednesday's 2-1 loss to Australia in Melbourne with a
migraine but Nakazawa has admitted that defeat to "pizza-eating" Australia in their final World Cup

First, I would just like to thank Wayne for doing a pretty amazing job around here in the past
week or so. As I wrote before, I've been pretty out of it after having had surgery on Friday, but

can even take credit for Carlitos' resurgence.

Ron Jans is quickly becoming The Offside's favorite Eredivisie gaffer - yes, even more than Steve
McClaren and his Dutch accent. The last time his Groningen team took on Heerenveen, he showed the
ref a one finger salute. This weekend, once more against Heerenveen, Jans felt similarly regarding
the referees performance levels.

Bramble, under absolutely no pressure whatsoever, gets a pass and inexplicably chests it down to

the back of the net. Luckily Wigan were able to grab two back and thus the three points, and Titus

Roboslop in the summer. Added bonus being his not-all-that-inexpensive replacement was fresh off an

across town at the hands of your city rivals, whose heads must be spinning out of control after the
last few weeks.

unspectacular - team performance helped the Shrimpers to within five points of league leaders
Scunthorpe, who Southend face on Tuesday night.
