It's this easy....Soccer is a game of undeniable beauty, but there are times of tragic ugliness.
That ugliness is no more apparent than when a player crosses the TV screen or right in front of
your face at the stadium that just gets your blood boiling. So mad that you just want to punch that
mother f*cker right in the face!

ZURICH, Switzerland The full results of the voting rounds for the World Cup 2018 and 2022 show the
US was very close to winning the 2022 bid. The US was only eliminated in the fourth and final round
of voting which turned out in favor of Qatar. England only received two votes in the [...]
Arsenal sits top of the English table and the fleet-footed Frenchman Nasri dances to the praise
of pundits the world over. Including me. However, a stocky and quick-thinking Russian also deserves
some love. Other blogs would debate about Andrei's recent withdrawn, central role by talking about
"false nines" or "attacking tens" or "9.
Think of the players of the season so far: Gareth Bale, Nani, Leighton
Baines, Chris Brunt, Andrei Arshavin. Is it any coincidence that none of
them featured in the World Cup.
And then there's Samir Nasri...
The former Marseille man had a tough inaugural season in the Premiership last
year and was cruelly axed from France's World Cup squad.

Samir Nasri: A 'special' player
Just a quickie to let y'all know that, according to the Guardian, Arsenal are preparing
to move their l'il midfield lesbian Samir Nasri into the same pay-bracket as
Robin Van Persie, Andrei Arshavin and captain Cesc
Fabregas by offering the in-form Frenchman a new £80,000-a-week contract.
How quickly things change in the world of Arsenal injuries these days. Yesterday we expected to
lose Laurent Koscielny for a few games, which would allow Djourou his chance alongside Squillaci,
this morning the news is that Koscielny is fine and will play tonight while Djourou has a small
thigh problem which means he won't be involved at all.
Former Arsenal midfielder Ray Parlour has said that current Gunner Andrei Arshavin was
"disappointing" for Arsene Wenger's side in their last Champions League fixture. The North London
outfit needed a win against Partizan Belgrade earlier this week, and while they were delighted to
get the win, their Russian star left more to be desired.

Morning all,
the weekend's over and now it's football time. It's an odd one, having a game of such importance
on a Monday night but there you go. The only bit of team news this morning is a report in The Sun
saying Wojscez©® could play because Lukasz Fabianski is struggling with some kind of unspecified
leg injury.
The penalty given against Arsenal last night was debatable to say the least. Gael Clichy could
not have gotten his arm out the way, meaning ball to hand surly, and thus no penalty. On the other
side of the coin, his arm has impeded Nani's run on goal and therefore gained an illegal, if not
inadvertent illegal advantage, meaning penalty United.
Arsenal may have lost their place at the top of the Premiership table to Man Utd on Monday, but
both Andrei Arshavin and Wojciech Szczesny believe that it should have ended as a stalemate draw.
They both think that the winning goal by Ji-Sung Park was nothing but a lucky bounce off his head
that spun [.

Wigan 2-2 Arsenal ( Ben Watson penalty, Sebastien Squillaci own goal/ Andrei Arshavin, Nicklas
Bendtner) December 29, 2010- Wednesday. A late own goal from Sebastien Squillaci earns 10 man Wigan
Athletic a point against Arsenal at the DW Stadium. Charles N'Zogbia was sent off for a foul on
Jack Wilshere.
Arsenal wasted a chance to join Manchester United and Manchester City atop the Premier League
standings by drawing Wigan Athletic on Wednesday, but Andrei Arshavin most definitely did not waste
this chance in pulling the Gunners level in the first half:
