The thought of writing this post after the opening day game against DC United never entered my
head. That was a slightly improved version of the meltdown season of 2008 defensive breakdowns, not
much stability in the middle and an attack that put two in the back of the net, but looked
frustrating doing it.

Liverpool-Manchester City
A battle of number six and seven squads in the league table in this match. Both have been kind
of disappointments despite their decent rankings and Manchester City has achieved five straight
draws and have struggled to find the back of the net as of late.

With Dutch striker Robin van Persie operating as the focal point of a deadly 4-3-3 this season,
Arsenal have been nearly unstoppable.
But now, with the Dutchman out of action for 6 weeks because of torn ankle ligaments - of which he
is treating with new-age medicine including massage with placentas in Serbia, Arsenal are looking
for an answer.

A Very happy 35th Birthday to Paul Scholes
While he looks like funnyman Simon Pegg, Scholes has been anything but a joke to United's
opponents. With ridiculous passing that tears through defenses all the while making it look simple,
a niche for shooting long range rockets into the back of the net, and a surly temper (75 bookings
in the EPL, 24 in UEFA CL play), Paul Scholes has wrecked havoc on any pitch he steps on.

It was a tough October for the stars of Manchester City. The squad that started out the year
with one of the hottest starts of any Premier League squad has slowed down their goal scoring pace
over the last four matches and achieved four straight draws. In only one of the matches did the
Blues even reach double digit goals, but at least it was against one of the tougher defenses this
season in Burnley.

It goes without saying that Saturday night's playoff elimination at the hands of Real Salt Lake
was an incredibly gut-wrenching defeat for the Fire. It's tough any time a team bows out of a
competition due to penalty kicks, but this one was especially painful for Chicago - who has now
been eliminated from the Eastern Conference Final in three consecutive seasons.

I really really feel for Robin van Persie. The geezer is in the form of his life, has been
injury-free for a long time and then BAM! This happens.
A torn fucking ankle ligament.
I'm no doctor so I have no idea how long these type of injuries last. I've googled it and there are
various time scales but I'd say it is safe to rule him out for a while.

The University of Denver women's soccer team ended its season with a 4-0 loss to No. 2 Portland

FC Boro 14 November @ 05:36 PM EST
Boro continued their fantastic unbeaten home run after a 5-3 victory over Gateshead this
afternoon. In wet and windy conditions both teams struggled to really get hold of the game and
kicking against the wind certainly seemed to affect Boro at times during the first half.
It was a rare opportunity for Graham Westley to name the same team as last Saturday after an
impressive performance against Port Vale.

Liverpool Kop 13 November @ 06:32 AM EST
Misfiring striker Andriy Voronin has told of his determination to help Liverpool get this season
back on track. Does he have anything to offer or is he a lost cause?
The Ukraine striker has yet to find the back of the net in eight games this season, and to be fair,
hasn't even looked remotely like scoring.

So very late last night Australian time, unfortunately the Aussie girls had their first loss of the
AFC under-16 tournament when DPR Korea came back to clinch a 4-3 win in the 85th minute. Australia
had scored first, in just the 8th minute through Brittany Whitfield and but then Korea equalised in
the 18th minute.

AC Milan weren't the busiest in the summer transfer window with many of their targets not
getting released from their clubs. After Kaka left the club it was expected that Milan would use
the money received to reinvest in players and strengthen the squad but the biggest name player to
sign was Klass-Jan Huntelar who has failed to score for the club and has received very little
playing time since his move from Real Madrid in the summer.

As voices of discontent gathered at the back of the Milburn stand before the game, they were
equally as vociferous in their support for their team once they got inside the ground. The second
largest attendance of the day (43,067) certainly made their feelings known.
The Newcastle fans had something to shout about other than the owner as Jonas Gutierrez ran from
the halfway, and finished with a shot that went past 'Keeper Joe Lewis.

EPL Talk 08 November @ 01:01 PM EST
This was one of those Premier League matches that had a draw written all over it that was crying
out for just one decent attempt to puncture the dull game. And it finally came three-quarters into
the match where John Terry headed the ball into the corner of the net.
Yet again, Sir Alex Ferguson put out a defensive minded team that played very cautiously with
Wayne Rooney often up front on his own.

Patrick Nyarko was elusive and hard to pin down by the Revs
How did Pat Phelan not bury that pinpoint Kenny Mansally cross into the back of the net? It was
the clearest look at the goal all night and Phelan heads the ball out. He could have been a hero
forcing extra time. As it turned out, the Fire did not have to go through that route.

RSL was down on the strength of two Schelotto goals by the 35th minute and it appeared as if
Crew would be able to get over the one goal disadvantage and advance to the quarter finals. But RSL
struck back from a Javier Morales goal two minutes later. Ten minutes later, RSL were awarded a
penalty by referee Baldemero Toledo, a dubious call on Frankie Hejduk as Espindola went down a bit
too easily.
