I found this video, produced by the Qatar bid, to be a fascinatingly constructed piece of work,
transforming Zidane's biography into an endorsement of the need for a Middle Eastern World Cup. In
it, Zidane returns to his childhood home and talks about his career, and repeatedly refers to the
difficulties he faced because of "his origins" as a child of Algerian immigrants.
So Arsenal find themselves still competing on all four fronts, with the final of the Carling Cup
up first at the end of February.
Sports Betting is an ever growing market place with every major sporting event fully

I know of one chap who resides in North London (no links to the club) who made over £200,000 in
2010 from punting on Football alone.
Looking back at the Leeds game last Saturday, it was clear we had no quick passing tempo being
set by anybody deployed centrally. Denilson likes to move it quickly, but sometimes dallies a bit
on the ball, Rosicky prefers to spot a ball and play it rather than keeping the ball ticking over,
and Song is another who dallies a little on the ball before releasing.
Although Chelsea have blown a massive opportunity to be well clear at the top of the table, in a
Premier League season where everybody is dropping points – in Manchester United's case, even
without losing – they do seem to have turned their season around in time to save their boss from
the sack. Had their dismal run of form continued then it would have been almost inevitable that
Roman Abramovich would have wielded his managerial axe once more, but three wins in a row following
the 7-0 FA Cup rout of Ipswich has breathed new life into a campaign which seemed to be circling
the drain.

With four months still to go before we know who will be lifting the Premier League trophy, it seems
that few are betting against Manchester United winning the title back.
Sir Alex Ferguson's men are sitting pretty at the top of the table, level on points with neighbours
Manchester City, however, the Old Trafford club have two games in hand.
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it
was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the
season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of
despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to heaven,
we were all going direct the other way in short, the period was so far like the present period,
that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the
superlative degree of comparison only.
