Dominant. Impressive. Delightful to watch. I guess that was the most one sided game Arsenal have
played for a long, long time. Wigan aren't one of the league's high fliers but any team would have
struggled against Arsenal in such sublime form. But for some excellent saves by Al-Habsi and a
couple of missed sitters this could have been a cricket score.
Liverpool defender Martin Kelly has said that fellow defender Glen Johnson has helped him improve
as a player, despite both being in direct competition for the right-back role in the side.
Kelly has started in every one of Kenny Dalglish's three games in charge so far and has earned
praise for his performances.
Given the brickbats being flung his way it is easy to forget that Neil Lennon has taken his Celtic
side to the top of the table.
If the number of call offs this wintery winter have given the SPL a slightly artificial look this
New Year, Celtic can still move themselves into the driving seat with an away win today.

It doesn't get any bigger!
Arsenal's match against Manchester City is arguably their most important of the season so far,
it is a must win game and the Gunners can not afford to lose any ground on the leaders Manchester
United.
United have a game in hand over Arsenal and are already two points ahead, so a loss against City
would be disastrous for the Gunners' title hopes.
Arsenal face another stern test in their Premier League title quest as they take on fellow
title contenders Manchester City tomorrow night at Emirates Stadium.
Roberto Mancini's side, who currently sit in second place, two points ahead of the Gunners, but
a win for Arsenal tomorrow would see them go into second ahead of the Citizens with a game in
hand.
Why do Spurs have a habit of shooting themselves in the foot? I'm all for positive thinking and
the press will always ask you questions like, "do you think you can beat United on
Sunday?", but it's how we answer those questions that seem to help opposition managers with
their team talks.
Can Manchester United make it through yet another weekend unbeaten in the EPL? Alex Ferguson's
side play Tottenham this weekend in the reverse fixture of their home game in October. Spurs were
handed a 2-0 defeat that time out with goals from Vidic and Nani. But on their own turf, Tottenham
will be confident of becoming the first team to put a 1 in United's loss column.

This season has been one of workmanship, a season where Manchester United have been less
entertaining than normal and more anchored, not hitting the breathtaking heights of previous
incarnations, but getting the job done nonetheless.
Surprising it may seem that we are still unbeaten in the Premier League, and if history is
anything to go by this record will stay intact for another week at least as Tottenham Hotspur
haven't triumphed over United for just less than ten years.
Arsenal's center back, Thomas Vermaelen, has been out for quite some time and his recovery
status seems absurd at times but finally thing looked a bit cleared after Arsene Wenger unveiled
the current condition of the Belgium international.
According to Wenger, Vermaelen will be doing a small operation to remove his Achilles problem
and after it is solved the player should return on the pitch in around four-six weeks.
Kilmarnock v HeartsTwo of this season's SPL's success stories go head to head. Big game for Hearts
this as they look to pick themselves up from their Scottish Cup disappointment before a potentially
season defining double header against the Old Firm.
Jim Jefferies' anger at the defeat to St Johnstone must have been partly fuelled by his frustration
that this could be a team on the verge of achieving something special.
Ever considered who has got your back when you roll your sleeves up for that big game you have
been waiting for? Given the fast pace and high intensity of modern-day sports, injuries are always
likely to happen.
Therefore, it has become more important than ever before for every athlete to take a step back
and carefully review insurance options available.
All week Manchester United fans have been joking about the idea of playing "Fabio" at right back
this weekend following Rafael's suspension.
"I might put Rafael in there," Ferguson said. "They wouldn't know. Their DNA is
probably the same."
Rafael has been fined today and warned about his future conduct.
Today, both teams that I have supported in the Asian Cup Quarter Final lost, yet, I was very happy.
For the first time, I watch so much competitive and excellent Asian Cup. In the past, we used to
watch only few good games in the Asian Cup. Today, seems will enjoy many games.
Japan beat Qatar after a wonderful game with five beautiful goals.

tickets available for the big game. However, be warned that you will still need to shell out a
whole lot of money if you expect to attend the Super Bowl. The days of getting in for pocket change

Yesterday I almost could not believe my eyes while watching the Asian Cup final of Japan vs.
Australia. I was very happy to see the big leaps that Asian Football did in the last decade. It was
one of those games that we say "the winner deserved victory and the loser didn't serve the
defeat".
In the past, I always criticized Asian Football, and argued that 4.
