When Arsenal brought club legend Thierry Henry back for a short loan spell, they probably
thought he would provide a morale boost for the squad and impart a bit of wisdom to the youngster.
In addition to that, the 34-year-old striker has actually been a spark on the pitch and scored two
match-winning goals to keep Arsenal alive in the FA Cup and propel them into fourth place in the
Premier League.

Sir Alex Ferguson didn't hold back in his assessment of Luis Suarez in his post-match interview
with the BBC:
"Suarez is a disgrace to Liverpool Football Club. He should not be allowed to play for Liverpool
again. He could have caused a riot.
How are the supporters of a football club to judge a new owner? Perhaps the answer to that is
the question of how desperate for a new owner they are, but even in the most extreme of
circumstances, one common theme of recent years has been that supporters have been more prepared to
carry out their own due diligence on those that turn up, out of the blue, promising to repair their
clubs.
The transfer window came to a close yesterday with some very interesting signings across Europe.
Once again attention was centred on the EPL where a host of clubs were keen on bolstering their
squads for the remainder of the season.
However, it was to be a bitter sweet day for league leaders Manchester City who despite
capturing Roma midfielder David Pizarro on loan, suffered a 1-0 away defeat to Everton.

el mundo la violencia cada vez se acerca mas a los estadios.

Who should replace Chelsea's John Terry as England captain? Former England and Aston Villa manager
Graham Taylor believes that Liverpool talisman Steven Gerrard is the ideal candidate for the job,
but only if he can prove that he's up to it. Speaking to BBC Sport, Taylor argued:"Gerrard's been
captain before and I'd expect [Fabio] Capello to give it to him if he gets his top-class form back.
Rio Ferdinand was booed throughout United's 3-3 draw with Chelsea at Stamford Bridge yesterday.
Whilst Rio has never been a popular player with Chelsea fans, given his West Ham and Leeds history,
as well as the issues over the England captaincy, it was clear that Rio was singled out for special
abuse yesterday thanks to John Terry's charge for racially abusing Anton Ferdinand.

Arsenal legend Lee Dixon has admitted he has enjoyed watching the forces of evil ply their trade
in the Premier League this season. The team that dare not speak its name are currently ten points
ahead of the Arsenal in the table and are still in the FA Cup but, of course, that'll all change
this afternoon when minnows Stevenage beat them (you read it here first).
Though not quite shocking, Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has revealed that he will
stay on as boss of the Red Devils for two or three more years. Ferguson has been in charge of
United for 25 years an has won 12 league titles, 2 European cups and 5 FA Cups in the process.
Love him or hate him (i hate him), Ferguson will go down in history as one of the most
successful coaches in the English game and though he is 70, the Scot looks way younger than his
age.
Town's result against Cardiff City has left me wondering if I'm hallucinating.
For months I've been citing the wobbly defence as the core to all our problems, but on Saturday the
solid defence of days gone by made a welcome return to Portman Road and achieved their second clean
sheet in two games.
It now seems unlikely that Wolves will have their new manager in placed when Newcastle play
them on Saturday at St. James' Park. Terry Connor likely to be in charge of Wolves on Saturday It
seems that their approaches to Reading manager Brian McDermott and Brighton manager Gus Poyet
have come to nothing.

Ghana finished fourth in the 2012 African Cup of Nations, which was ultimately a disappointment
for the team that outlasted all other African sides in the 2010 World Cup. And now, Ghana's Serbian

From the BBC:
Ghana coach Goran Stevanovic has revealed deep divisions within the squad, saying some players
used witchcraft against their own team-mates.
