By Dario Camacho - MIAMI, FL (Dec 9, 2011) US Soccer Players -- An atmosphere counts. If you've ever seen, let alone been at a soccer match at Old Trafford or San Siro, you would understand the effect on atmosphere that such venues create. Fans chanting, arms outstretched in unison, the bickering and bantering of fans at opposing players, the clapping of appreciation of a well placed tackle.

Lille striker Moussa Sow dreams of playing in England and would like to do so for Arsenal if he does.

The 25-year-old Senegalese still has 18 months on his contract with the Ligue 1 champions, but that doesn't mean he's not looking ahead.

"I'm only thinking about football and it's not possible to leave in January.

I wrote a piece about people leaving our home games early earlier this week, and it looks like I'm not the only one to notice the lack of support shown in the stadium. This week REDaction held a meeting with AFC representatives before the Carling Cup tie versus Manchester City at Emirates.

Can Arsenal return to winning ways on the road? We have won away at last and once again should be playing in the red and white, so the portents are good.

Here's the game as we saw it -- as it happened. There was a rousing tribute to Gary Speed before kick off with John Carver in tears on the sideline and the Newcastle crowd were roaring out "There's Only One Gary Speed" The Newcastle crowd were in good form as the game kicked off and the atmosphere at the ground seemed to be electric.

The worst thing about yesterday's 3-0 defeat by Chelsea wasn't the defeat itself, but that we had both our top center-backs injured and leave the game. James Perch -- replacing the injured Colo yesterday Coloccini had to leave after about 28 minutes with a thigh strain, and James Perch was introduced to the white hot atmosphere of [.

We need a big night tonight from the players on that pitch and from YOU the supporters in the stands. That's the message from AVB and is he exactly right!
He said:

The fans can have a massive impact against Valencia. They have to unite themselves.
I have good memories of top European nights at this club and I know the atmosphere that can be raised here.

I don't know what the tiredness equivalent of what *boilk* is but I've got that this morning.

Plus a touch of actual *boilk* too but not enough to actually make me *boilk*. Last night at The Tollington we launched the book So Paddy got up an Arsenal anthology, and first and foremost I want to thank all the people who came along, bought a book and had a beer or two.

Liverpool defender Martin Skrtel has hailed his partnership with Daniel Agger, stating the Dane is easy to play alongside.
The Reds have conceded three goals in six games since the Slovakian stopper was paired with Agger during Jamie Carragher's absence.
Uruguayan Sebastian Coates is also vying to start for Liverpool and Skrtel believes competition for places is healthy.

Since in many ways this was my first regionals all over again (new sport), I went back and compared the notes I wrote (literally, on an old Apple Newton) and compared them with my experience this last weekend. And there are several similarities and differences:
Similarities:
* Chance to get better games if you perform well
* High pressure, high stakes games
* Some nice comrade with the other officials
But there were some big differences, too.
