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.

The weird colours at the start go away about after 5 seconds! Goals from Arshavin in the 86th minute and 90th.

Japan captain Yuji Nakazawa is pissed-off!

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.

What a game! Stunning goals and overall two teams playing well!

Err...'The Oscar for Football' If they gave out Oscars or Nobles for football management, Mark Robins would be staring an academy award down the throat. Although Holloway's offensive 4-3-3 wiped out our standard 4-4-2 from the start, Robin's thought about it, and made a series of tactical changes to which the Blackpool manager had no answers.

First, I would just like to thank Wayne for doing a pretty amazing job around here in the past week or so.

I think you can even take credit for Carlitos' resurgence.

It's always interesting to see how we can now fare against the best teams. Borough have just come down from the Premiership, and the echoes of the top league squad are still strong. That showed for the first half, but we did just as well. Sure, we were the worst team, and struggled to attack, [...]

Before there was Pele, there was Alcides Ghiggia. Before there was Brazil, there was Uruguay. And before Brazil became champions, there was heartache.
