Arsenal traveled north to face a Sunderland club that has seen a resurgence since installing
Martin O'Neil as their manager and it took a two late goal by impact substitutes to come away with
the three points. Keep reading for all the glorious heart-stopping action.
Arsene Wenger chose to start the same squad that demolished Blackburn last week with the
exception of Francis Coquelin as Bacary Sagna was drafted in for his 2nd start since his broken
leg.

Liverpool: The rollercoaster-ness of the season to date has been unbearable if you are a Liverpool
fan, and that continued a week ago as the Reds battled to a disappointing 0-0 home draw with
Stoke.
The U.S. team has proved quite popular with the Canadian media so far (and thanks also to the
several American journalists in town!). Of course, the U.S. playes obliged with many interviews
which of course serve to promote the game, the team and the tournament. Above, Becky Sauerbrunn
gives her thoughts on various soccer topics.

The majority of D.C. United's offseason roster questions have not fully been answered, and as
the club's preseason got underway with the first day of training on Wednesday, it is clear that
there is plenty to be done before the team takes its final shape.

himself very well indeed since he's been at Newcastle. Ben Arfa tussing with Clint Hill yesterday

By Dario Camacho - MIAMI, FL (Jan 13, 2011) US Soccer Players -- Last year's Major League Soccer
season probably had two of the worst injuries I've ever seen. The first I happen to catch on
replay, was Steve Zakuani's broken leg. The physical revulsion of watching a pro athlete's leg
dangling, swinging in all improper directions, was an unnecessary reminder of the brutal side of
the sport.

Given the current penchant for the two-footed Exocet-style challenge as favoured by Glen Johnson
among others, here is Pies' pick of the XI worst, shin-splintering, sinew-shredding,
ligament-twanging, bone-flaking tackles to ever take place on a Premier League pitch (that we could
find corresponding videos for).

Barcelona kicked off 2012 the way they finished 2011: with goals.
On the back of a 4-0 FIFA Club World Cup Championship victory over Santos and a 9-0 demolition
of C.E. L'Hospitalet to wrap up a memorable 2011, Barcelona returned to action without missing a
beat, defeating Osasuna 4-0 at the Camp Nou in their first match of the new year.
Barcelona striker David Villa got a welcome boost as he was released from Hospital yesterday,
five days after undergoing an operation on his broken leg picked up last month in his clubs
successful World Club Cup competition.
Villa must be delighted with being able to spend Christmas day with his childhood sweetheart,
Wife Patricia Gonzalez and their two Daughters, Zaida (8) and Olaya (2).

David Villa is not the most controversial of footballers. If you're the type of
fan that likes his players a little rough around the edges, or the type for whom players only
register when they do something out of the ordinary the Barcelona striker may
rarely even register.
Many of you have asked about this peculiar shirt sported by Puyol after Barca's World Club Cup
win over Santos on Sunday. 'El Guaje' is David Villa's nickname, and as you may
know, the poor tipo has been ruled out with a horrendous broken leg that has ruled him out
for the rest of the season and possibly Euro 2012.
A coaching change at FC Ingolstadt led to an early winter break for Edson Buddle, who was sent
home until the new year. The U.S. national team striker isn't going to lay around doing nothing
during the German winter break though. He has headed to London, where he will spend a week training
with West Ham United.

It is a tournament that receives much criticism given its awkward timing and relative unimportance,
but I guess the World Club Championship has lost a whole heap more supporters following Barcelona's
game with Al-Sadd.
Not that is was anything to do with Barca's Qatari opponents, who worked diligently to try and
contain the European Champions.
Barcelona have set up a dream FIFA Club World Cup final against Santos by defeating Al-Sadd 4-0
today. The Barca victory though was dampered by the broken leg to striker David Villa, that will
keep the Barca striker out of action for around six months.
The Villa's injury aside, this was more like a training exercise for Barcelona as Al-Sadd is not
in the same class.

There are many over-used and misleading phrases in football and "one-man team" is surely right
up there. In 1969-70, Cagliari had a quality side. Players such as Ricky Albertosi, Pierluigi Cera,
Comunardo Niccolai and Angelo Domenghini all played for the Azzurri. And yet, the simple and
remarkable fact remains Gigi Riva won the Scudetto for Cagliari.

anyway. The player in question is the Tunisian left back Aymen Abdennour of French Club Toulouse,

All is not well in London — more specifically, at Arsenal.
The club confirmed today that long-time regular right back Bacary Sagna suffered a broken leg in
Arsenal's 1-2 defeat at the hands of Tottenham in the North London derby on Sunday.
The injury-curse blighting Arsenal's season struck again on Monday when goalkeeper Wojciech
Szczesny pulled out of the Poland squad for two upcoming friendlies against South Korea and
Belarus with a bad back.
Szczesny, 21, who has played six time for Poland, was due to meet up with his international team
mates this week but the official Polish FA website (www.
Another Monday morning and off to work for many faced with the negative banter that an Arsenal
defeat brings. But worse, not just any defeat the Spuds have turned us over, years of disingenuous
crowing at our North London neighbours is coming home to roost today. All that "I can't wait to get
to work" of previous years, doesn't work so well today does it?
American midfielder Stuart Holden will make his official return from a broken leg on Tuesday, as
he has been selected to start for Bolton in their Carling Cup clash against Aston Villa.
Holden has been sidelined for six months since suffering a broken leg on a studs-up challenge
from Manchester United defender Johnny Evans.
Today, at 5:00 PM EST each MLS team's roster will be officially locked. That means no trading
with other MLS teams, no signing free agents. Nothing. The squad club's have after this evening
will be the ones they take to the play-offs (if they make it). It's actually kind of interesting
that we haven't seen more movements.
When it comes to accolades, goal scorers are usually the player who walk away with most of the
awards and notoriety, but this week one player stood out above the rest despite not scoring a goal
himself.
D.C. United midfielder Chris Pontius has been one of the biggest bright spots for D.
Apparently Office Joe is some sort of soothsayer as he predicted D.C. United would win (although he

CARSON, Calif.--D.C. United received a very encouraging sign from striker Charlie Davies that he
was ready to take on a bigger role as the club hits the playoff stretch drive, but also faced the
devastating news that they lost one of their best performers of the 2011 season.
Arsenal has endured a rough start to the new Premier League season, but a busy transfer deadline
day helped Arsene Wenger restock his roster, with the hope being the Gunners could re-load enough
to stay a top four teams.
We will get our first chance to see whether the new Arsenal additions can help the Gunners get
over the loss of Samir Nasri and Cesc Fabregas when they take on Swansea City today (10am, Fox
Soccer Channel).
Aaron Ramsey is good enough to fill the huge midfield gap at Arsenal left by the departures of
Cesc Fabregas and Samir Nasri.
That's the caoim in this morning's Mirror from Swansea defender and Wales team-mate Neil Taylor,
22, ahead of our Premier League home game against the top flight new boys.
