EPL Talk 19 November @ 04:48 PM EST
For many, cheating is an ugly blight on the beautiful game. Players who break the rules are
regularly vilified and criticized. But cheating, when used effectively, can be a great way to help
your team out. It is so much easier to score from the penalty spot than from open play
with all those pesky defenders around.

Arsenal emphatically crushed Wolves and cruised into second place, a position I expect us to
easily maintain. I don't see the mancs as a threat, there are only small pockets of the manc loving
media who stubbornly refuse to acknowledge the fact that not only do Arsenal have a better first
team but they have a better squad.

Robin van Persie now delivering the form that we always knew that he could provide as long as he
stayed fit. With a goal in each of the last seven games he is fast becoming a major threat to
defences in the Premier league and Europe with his quick feet and eye for goal. He lacks only the
perfection of his set pieces to truly become the player who alongside Fabregas can fashion a real
charge at the premiership title.

EPL Talk 23 October @ 03:44 AM EST
Come Sunday, expect the television cameras to be zooming in on the faces of Rafa Benitez and Sir
Alex Ferguson as they try to detect whether the pressure is getting to either manager. Attention
will be paid to body language and how each manager interacts with one another, what the handshake
is like and to make sure they exchange pleasantries after the final whistle is blown.

Chivas USA 2 San Jose Earthquakes 2
Chivas USA Coach Preki's body language in the closing minutes of this game (off of bench, hands
on hips, hand smacked into palm, etc.) told you all you needed to know about the coach's
frustration and the recognition this was a perfect (lost) opportunity to put the Galaxy and Dynamo
under pressure Sunday.

Did you miss the Champions League group stage action last night? Not to worry: we've compiled a
short montage of the key moments.
And by key moments, we mean gratuitous shots of men focused on doing their jobs as professional
athletes that we have turned into cheap tawdry moments of objectification for our own
entertainment.

I hope I'm not making a mountain out of a mole hill here but I'm worried about our little darling
Cesc Fabregas.
I hate to say it but I've watched him in recent games and he doesn't seem right. His body language
and the way he is playing suggests that he either has things on his mind or he is just short of
confidence.

I'm working from my "basement office" today because our floors are being buffed and
poly-urethaned. An adventure. Ruby is with me, under house arrest, as she has already helped
herself to part of one of the guys' lunches (a feat she accomplished while Willie and I were
walking down the driveway to get the paper).

I don't know if anybody has covered this, and if they have, fair play. It needed to be mentioned
given the curious nature of our defeat against Man Utd at Old Trafford.
When the final whistle went, I was going through a range of negative emotions although I was still
proud of the performance the lads gave.
