Robin van Persie has agreed with Arsenal to keep his own counsel over his future. There has been
lots of speculation as to whether or not he will stay at the Emirates and if not, where he would be
going. Barcelona, Real Madrid, Manchester City, Manchester United and Juventus have all been
heavily linked with [.
Brendan Rodgers has admitted the chance to manage a footballing "dynasty" like Liverpool was
something that he could not turn down.
Speaking to the South Wales Evening Post ahead of his introductory press conference today
Rodgers had this to say about taking over at Liverpool:
"For me, the only way I was going to leave Swansea was for a big club, and I mean a big
club.

A second half Cristiano Ronaldo goal was the difference as Real Madrid defeated Barcelona in
another edition of the El Clasico.
The match started out with Real Madrid getting the better chances and able to take an early
lead. The goal was scored by Sami Khedira in the 17th minute as he pounced on a rebound in front of
goal before Carlos Puyol could clear it.
Barcelona. Real Madrid. Messi. Ronaldo. Guardiola. Mourinho.
The two storied rivals are set for their next historic clash Saturday, with Madrid able to
effectively slam the door on Barcelona's league title hopes with a win at Camp Nou. Barcelona,
however, can sneak within a point of the league leaders with a home victory.

Peter Vermes likened his team's high-pressure defensive strategy in the attacking third to a style
played by a certain powerhouse Spanish side.
Steve Brisendine of MLSsoccer.com wrote of how Vermes' team's ability to win second balls has aided
in their ability to defend and have success this season.
Real Madrid won their match pretty clearly in the champions league against APEOL with an aggregate
score of 8-2. Ronaldo scored two goals and one of them was an absolute screamer of a goal from a
free kick and man what a great free kick it was. Kaka also scored a stunner of a goal. He also came
close to scoring another stunning goal just minutes later but was denied by the post.
Liverpool have joined the race to sign Athletic Bilbao midfielder Javi Martinez, reports the
Metro.
Martinez has a growing list of suitors after impressing for both club and country in recent years,
and was an integral part of the Bilbao team that knocked Manchester United out of the Europa League
earlier this month.
Real Betis Balompié play their home games at the over 50,000 capacity Estadio Benito VillamarÃn.
The stadium has gradually been developed since 1929.
From 2000-2010 the stadium was called Estadio Manuel Ruiz de Lopera after the President of the
football club at the time. However, after a popular vote, the ground reverted to its previous name.
Durante los últimos dÃas se ha desatado una polémica, esperada, al rededor del clásico que
se aproxima el 7 de abril en el estadio Tecnológico de Monterrey. La cuestión es muy sencilla:
Rayados de Monterrey tenÃa la intención de reprogramar el partido para que este se llevara a cabo
el dÃa Domingo 8 de abril, esto con el propósito de descansar un dÃa más después de las dos
semanas que se llenarán de compromisos debido a su participación en dos torneos: Concachampions
y la Liga.
Real Madrid and FC Barcelona cruised to victories while Getafe beat Valencia in the Spanish
Primera Division (La Liga) on Saturday, March 24, 2012.

Mallorca 0-2 FC Barcelona

Ronaldo and Messi keep scoring
The title race is still going but the race for the league's top scorer could prove more
interesting.
Defending champion Barcelona will take on Italian power AC Milan in the UEFA Champions League
quarterfinals, the toughest match-up in the quarterfinal draw, which took place on Friday.
While Barca earned the toughest draw, Real Madrid was given the easiest quarterfinal draw,
taking on Cyprus-based APOEL Nicosia.
Sure Ronaldo didn't score anywhere near 5 goals last night, however, his double took his all
time tally for Real to 127 goals in 128 games. Very impressive if you ask me.
Los Blancos easily made it to the last eight thanks to a 4-1 win inspired by an improving Kaka.
The capital based club joins Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Benfica, Chelsea, Milan,Marseille and APOEL
in the quarters finals that are expected to pair very interesting fixtures.
I read a rumour on this the other day and saw David Luiz's comments and wasn't surprised to be
honest. The news that Pep Guardiola is eyeing up a summer move for our Brazilian is something you
could see coming really.
There is an argument that Luiz is one of our most creative players in the side.
Aside from troubles against Spanish nemesis Barcelona, Real Madrid is arguably in the greatest
form of any club around the world. Jose Mourinho's men have not dropped points against a
non-Barcelona team since Sept. 21, marking a span of 27 straight wins over non-Barcelona
opposition.
THFC1882 welcomes another guest post by Anthony Lombardi, this one may have
some foaming at the mouth:
WHY SPURS NEED ARSENAL TO BE BETTER
As Arsenal succumbed to a humiliating 4-0 Champions League thrashing by AC Milan at the San
Siro, a rather surprising thought came to me:
Should we really be celebrating the demise of Arsenal Football Club?
Having opened up a 10-point advantage over second-place Barcelona, Real Madrid manager Jose
Mourinho has begun organizing a victory parade through the Catalan capital to celebrate his club's
first La Liga title since 2008. Though the parade will not go off until the end of the season in
May, Mourinho has already started making unprecedented arrangements to hold a title celebration in
a rival city.
Some good news for Madrid fans as arch rivals Barcelona slumped to a 3-2 loss Osasuna yesterday
forcing Barca coach Pep Guardiola to admit that his side is now at the mercy of Madrid and only a
slip up from the capital club would give his team a lifeline.
Madrid could go 10 points clear at the top of the table should they win at home to Levante today
an opportunity i am sure Mourinho would not want to miss.
Sing along now: "There's only one Arsenal."
Or not.
Fans of the Gunners familiar with only the Premier League, or the top four leagues in England,
might know a few teams from other countries. Mostly, this has been due to the Champions League
being televised so widely. Crazed football fans may watch more games, including from the top
European leagues in Spain, Italy, Germany and France but, for the most part, naming three teams in
Denmark might prove to be a challenge.
What a time to be a Tottenham Hotspur fan! Sitting third in the English Premier League and very
close to being able to topple the current league leaders should they win this weekend at the Ethiad
Stadium in Manchester, the chances are that some of the more hardened and cynical Spurs fans may
well be thinking that something dodgy is going on!
Barcelona, Real Madrid, AC Milan, Internazionale Milan, Bayern Munich, Manchester United,
Manchester City, Liverpool, Arsenal. So many great clubs in the heart of Europe but not one has yet
made a major transfer purchase in this January transfer window. To some degree or another, it could
be argued, that each and every one of those aforementioned clubs need at least one single player,
if not more in a few different positions.
On this week's predictions we feature the big Milan derby between AC and Inter as well as games
involving Barcelona, Real Madrid, Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United.

AC Milan defender Alessandro Nesta has no plans to retire soon.The veteran Italian defender who
is now 35 made the startling remarks during an interview with Gazzetta dello Sport on
Wednesday.
Despite his numerous injuries over the years that have seen him missing lengthy spells of
regular playing time, Nesta has no desire of quitting just yet.
When I look at the league table I get a shudder down my spine.
Of course S*urs sitting higher than us in the league table contributes to that shudder massively,
but what really causes that horrible feeling is that we sit outside the Champions League
places.
Now don't get me wrong, the thought of that lot finishing above us is indeed truly horrific.
Beckham's best option is to stay with the Los Angeles Galaxy and help establish it among the
world's elite teams.
In LA, he has the chance to go to the FIFA Club World Cup and build the Galaxy's reputation.

In the past 48 hours, we've asked you who do you think will win El Clasico. But today, on the
day of the game, we have a different but important question for you: Who do you want to win? Which
side are you on? Real Madrid or Barcelona?
Real Madrid v Barcelona is live on ESPN Deportes on Saturday, December 10 at 4PM ET.
Liverpool have jumped to the front of the queue for Bologna midfielder Gaston Ramirez.
The Reds' interest in the Uruguayan starlet has been an open secret for some time, but opposition
for Ramirez' signature has also been on the cards, with the likes of Barcelona, Real Madrid,
Manchester United, Manchester City and Sevilla linked with a bid.
It was not a good night in Europe for sides of Manchester and both City and United are in real
danger of not qualifying for the knockout stages of the Champions League.
City have the harder route to the knockout stages after they lost 2-1 in Napoli. Edinson Cavani
showed why he has drawn so much interest from all the top European clubs as he scored two goals and
was by far the best player on the pitch.
Image that makes the heart shudder in fear
As fans, we are more than easily riled aren't we. I will be the first to admit that when it
comes to Arsenal, emotions are rarely things within my control. When I saw the way Real Madrid has
acted in trying to tap up one of our players, I was incensed.
Just days after Neymar put pen to paper and signed a new improved contract that will see him
stay with Brazilian club Santos until 2014, club President Luis Alvaro Ribiero has spoken out on
Spanish club Real Madrid's aim to sign the teen sensation.
Ribiero who did not have any kind words for the European power house slammed the club's
behaviour labeling it lamentable and arrogant.
Some fascinating comments by Barcelona president Sandro Rosell today in which he wants to see
the Spanish league cut from 20 clubs to 16, limits placed on wealthy foreign owners and a more
equitable sharing of TV revenue.
Speaking at the International Football Arena conference, Rosell said:
"My opinion is that our league has too many clubs.
With almost a fourth of the La Liga season gone, Barcelona and Real Madrid are both off to solid
starts, but heading into this week's round of midweek fixtures, neither title favorite was at the
top of the table.
Of course, that likely won't be the case for long, and you'd have to expect those two to once
again occupy the top two spots come the end of the season, but to see unheralded Levante top the
table has to be the story of the first two months of the season.
This must be welcome news to all Arsenal fans. Being one of the richest clubs in the world, many
people cannot understand why they are never aggressive in the transfer market, especially when it
comes to buying high profile players.
Over the past 5 years, the club has gained a reputation for being a good breeding ground for
budding talent at the expense of creating a formidable side that can consistently challenge for
trophies.
