To paraphrase a quote from the end of "Band of Brothers" - 'It's been a long season; it's been a
tough season'.
Maybe I'll have deeper thoughts on this as the next couple of weeks go by, but, for now, here's a
list of the best and worst moments of the last few months. Let's get the horrible stuff out of the
way first.
With some distance between Saturday's win over Everton in the FA Cup semi-final, we can turn our
attention to the weekend and Liverpool's return to Premier League action. For all their success in
domestic cup competition, league performances have been all over the map, and this weekend's
match-up promises to have a healthy dose of awkward to go with the uncertainty of which version of
Liverpool we'll be watching come Sunday.
Shambles in Shanghai: Tigana, Tantrums and Anelka as manager is a post from: Just Football
by Andrew Crawford
The Chinese Super League (CSL) is once again watching its most noisy tenant,
Shanghai Shenhua, soak up all the attention. Its big name manager, Jean
Tigana is gone, replaced, or rather deposed, in headline-grabbing style by Nicolas
Anelka, who will now try to rescue the club from its plunge into the bottom half of the
league.

WASHINGTON -- There were no goals to speak of when D.C. United and the Seattle Sounders wrapped
proceedings Saturday, but that's not to say the match was completely devoid of drama.
The teams traded opportunities throughout, even though neither side found much of a rhythm in
what often amounted to a battle of physicality in the middle of the park.
A three loss start to the 2012 Major League Soccer regular season was not lost on Philadelphia
Union fans last week and they made themselves heard through boos directed toward head coach Peter
Nowak prior to the start of last week's scoreless draw with the Vancouver Whitecaps.
The Union's front office has recognized the importance of results as well, a source with
knowledge of internal discussions told the Brotherly Game.
Reina let's the occasion get the better of him...Liverpool fell
to a 6th defeat out of 7 league games on April Fool's day as Papiss Cisse confidently put two past
the later dismissed Pepe Reina. In an embarrassing display which actually began with a lively start
from Liverpool, fans were left completely deflated as they made their way back from St James' Park.

Mario Balotelli busted into Andrea Stramaccioni's press conference unannounced last week and
against Sunderland yesterday he tried hijacking Kolarov's free kick. Lots of jostling and pushing
as Nigel de Jong tried crowding him out till finally Vincent Kompany, City's captain having had
enough told him to take a hike.
Andy Carroll's return to Newcastle went about as bad as he probably feared on Sunday. Not only
did Fernando Torres, the man Liverpool sold for a tidy £50 million before quickly spending the
majority of it on Carroll, score for Chelsea the day before, but Newcastle won 2-0, with their new
No.
A quite, considered hush fell over Upon Park about ten minutes into the second half of West Ham
Uniteds match against Reading yesterday afternoon. As the visiting team dispatched their third
goal, a penalty kick from Ian Harte after a clumsy tackle by Abdoulaye Faye in fifteen minutes
either side of half-time and extended their lead to three-one, it was as if this was the collective
moment of realisation for their supporters that, having been there or thereabouts for most of this
season, the possibility of thereabouts being the sum total of their forty-six league matches us
starting to become rather more of a likelihood.
When the final whistle blew on Saturday afternoon, we heard just a few boos from some of our fans,
and the lads didn't look happy when they left the field. Fabricio Coloccini manger thinks he's
getting back to his best They knew, as the fans knew, that home games against sides fighting
against relegation have to [.

Football is a funny old sport. The sharks were out circling Wenger and Arsenal before this match
with so many negative articles written, admittedly many here on this blog. Spurs had outwitted
Arsenal according to Amy Lawrence and there was no escaping some of the salient points she
made.

Wigan Athletic Aston Villa Premier League 25th February 2012
The hiring of Alex McLeish by Aston Villa was always something of a strange decision. Villa, a
club with a history of playing good football, put their faith in a man whose trademark footballing
style is the epitomé of dour.

More facetious remarks accompanying amusing pictures of cute players hugging, fiddling with
their bits and pointing their erogenous zones at cameras is right this way.
It was disappointing to say the least wasn't it. We were looking for a positive reaction after a
traumatic week and being honest we never got what we were looking for. It's been a long time since
I heard the amount of boos around the ground as Chelsea walked off at half time. To be fair, they
were exactly right and were well deserved.
Chelsea lost the chance to consolidate their fourth place position in the league yesterday after
they were humbled 2-0 by Everton at Goodison Park. Goals from Steven Pienaar and Denis
Stracqualursi condemned Villas-Boas to his 6 loss of the season and saw Arsenal overtake them into
4th place after a 2-1 away over Sunderland.

There's something in the air at The Emirates Stadium. Arsenal Football Club has had a difficult
2012 so far, and patience for some, at least is starting to wear thin, leading to a protest that
has brought puzzled expressions from elsewhere. At this lunchtime's match against Blackburn Rovers
in the Premier League, a group of supporters plans to place black bin bags on seats at the ground
prior to the match.
Match report Video
At half-time yesterday Arsenal left the pitch to a chorus of boos. 2-0 down against Aston Villa,
it looked as if we were heading for a fourth January defeat. We hadn't played particularly badly,
to be fair, but got caught out twice in ways we really shouldn't have.
Three goals in seven second half minutes that's all it took for Arsenal to win a game in which
they were otherwise unimpressive. While the comeback was miraculous and the result crucial, many
problems still remain.
As has been the case for the last month or so, Arsenal started at a pedestrian pace.
I have spent the last season and a half bemoaning the boo boys, this week I was not alone as
Arsenal fans rallied round our beleaguered manager and club in an attempt to rid us of the
discontented.
But today as we prepare ourselves for our pilgrimage to the red half of North London it is time
to consolidate, stand side by side and live alongside each other in harmony.

Unfair on Arshavin, Unfair on Arsenal FC (By S.H) The home stadium erupted in loud BOOS in protest
over Wenger‘s decision to substitute Oxlade-Chamberlain for Andrey Arshavin. Even Robin van
Persie appeared to show his dissent over the manager's decision. The Ox had played a marvellous
game, and I too, was disappointed to see him [.
Dateline 22 January 2012, this date will go down in history, it is the date the fans at the
Emirates turned on Arsene Wenger.
The fans booed the team off at half-time and were rewarded when youngster Nico Yennaris replaced
the hapless and hopeless Djourou who becomes a bigger liability every time he puts on an Arsenal
shirt.

United made it Manchester 2-0 North London in the second of Sunday's super-duper
all-singing-all-dancing encounters, beating Arsenal 2-1 at the Emirates to whittle City's lead at
the summit of the Premier League back down from six points to three.

It's interesting that even this morning the focus appears to be on a controversial substitution
when the bigger issue is the fact we've just lost our third league game in a row, taking our total
of defeats in the league this season to eight.
When Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain's number went up in the 74th minute many of the 60,000 at the
stadium made it quite clear what they thought of the decision.
Arsenal slumped to a 2-1 defeat at home to Manchester United as boos rang out after Arsene Wenger

astute youngster was having his best game in an Arsenal shirt and after much persistence from the
hosts, set up striker Robin Van Persie [.
Injured Manchester United players Ashley Young and Darren Fletcher made it a family day out to

Ashley brought his adorable 5-year-old son Tyler to United's match against Bolton, although

Arsenal's gifted young goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny has made the latest in a long line of
footballing Twitter boo-boos. Indeed, it's not even his first offence.
On responding to a photo team-mate Aaron Ramsey has posted of himself at a golf event, the
Polish international Tweeted: "I don't wanna be rude mate but you look like a rapist on that
picture.

David Luiz was AWOL as Villa took advantage of Chelsea's non-existent central defense to first
slip in Steve Ireland, then Stilyan Petrov, and finally Darren Bent. The last two came within
minutes of each other towards the end of the match. Stamford Bridge erupted in boos.
New year celebrations for Chelsea fans were cancelled after the Blues suffered a humiliating 3-1
home loss to Aston Villa yesterday. Not only has this loss pushed Chelsea down to 5th position in
the league, but coach AVB has also conceded that his primary target now is to ensure Chelsea
challenge for a top 4 finish.
Anfield Match Zone: Kop drown out Craig Bellamy boos
Given he had a much publicised fall-out with Alan Shearer during his time at St James' Park, it
was inevitable Craig Bellamy would be booed by Newcastle fans.

During last night's 5-0 win over Fulham, Manchester United fans took the opportunity to let Luis
Suarez know what they thought of him after the FA have found him guilty of racially abusing Patrice
Evra.
Meanwhile, up in Wigan, Liverpool fans were singing the original song, which was met with boos
from the home fans.
It was billed as a match in which the losing manager would get fired, and if that is the case
then it will be a much happier Christmas in the Coyle household this season than the Kean one as
Bolton beat Blackburn Rovers 2-1 in a relegation six pointer.
The result means Blackburn replace Bolton at the foot of the Premier League, and Rovers will be
bottom at Christmas with only one team avoiding relegation from that position.
