Like a lot of you, we've noticed that The Special One's dress sense has gone from GQMF to WTF. Case and point: to sweat out Wednesday night's El Clasico, Jose wore track pants, a hoodie, and a puffer vest.

Poland's 58,000 seat chocolate national stadium. That's right.

If you're hungry, look away. Poland's new national stadium in Warsaw will host the opening match of EURO 2012 (only 134 days away!), along with two other group stage matches, a quarterfinal, and a semifinal.

Gooners desperately hoping that Arsene Wenger will finally open his dusty old cheque book and splash out on Klaas-Jan Huntelaar or Lukas Podolski might have to hold that thought, as, according to the Guardian, the Arsenal boss is keen on signing up Robin Van Persie's five-year-old boy, Shaqueel (surely he'll be a basketball player?

That wasn't particularly good was it. The result was the least we wanted because of the results of those around us. It meant that we fall back by 1 point compared to before the start of the weekend's fixtures. But the bigger concern is with our performance or rather the lack of it.

For anyone who hasn't seen Swansea this season, their performance justified all the praise that Brendan Rogers and his team are getting.

I sighed a little reading about the dust-up stirred up among fans when Brad Friedel made some remarks to the effect that Landon Donovan took "the easy road" by staying in Major League Soccer, as compared to Clint Dempsey, who plays in England for Fulham.
Friedel backtracked a bit by going on to explain his comments were not meant to disparage Landon or any other MLS player.

Azcarrga le dijo a Bauer:
De tu palco a mi ventana
Hay una bonita escalera
Como quieres que te quiera
Si pareces calavera.

El azteca sin muchas acciones
pero con muchas declaraciones
Reyna antes anotaba goles
ahora solo come frijoles
en las mañanas bebe un latte
y Aquivaldo de chocolate

A Bauer le exploto un cohete
en la porteria con Navarrete
Las aguilas buscan a Nemo
por dejar escapar a Memo

Tienen a un capitan de plastico
y una defensa de agua
Quisieran que fuera de manantial
pero todo les hace mal

America da risa a todo el mundo
y el americanista esta furibundo

En Coapa viven la traición,
en el vestuario la cobardía,
contaminan día a día,
sin la menor aflicción
a toditita su afición.

Creating The World Record for Longest Football Fan Scarf - AFR x FIFA 12

However rational or irrational, the dream of diving into a pool filled with a substance of your liking seems to be fairly universal.

FC Basel's warm-up mats are ridiculously organized but they won't know it from down there! Anyway, before you write off the Swiss side's chances completely against powerhouses Man United later today, listen to what coach Thorsten Fink has to say. Sure, he sounds like the ice-cream man who knows he is running out of cones, but in football, there are always waffle, chocolate cones, cups, etc.

After his nine years with Robbie Jackson and subsequent five years with Sonia, Bianca, Mickey, Vinnie and Gus, I'm sure that many of you, like me, were wondering what became of Eastenders' most famous dog (other than Ethel's little Willie, obviously).
Rumours abound that Bianca killed Wellard by feeding him chocolate, before scattering his ashes on the allotment.

Now the close season is upon us with nothing to think about other than the summer holidays and the kid's birthday parties, so I decided to have a look around to see what Arsenal momentoes I could get to help reinforce my kids desire to support Arsenal. I call them birthday presents but the wife [...]

Today was Joe Amon's 17th birthday, which means ... ice cream!
The team sang Happy Birthday while Joe blew out the candle that was placed in a big bowl of ice cream. He gave a speech that cited many, many reasons why he was excited to turn 17.
Then the team enjoyed chocolate, vanilla and strawberry ice cream in celebration.

The thing about Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich is that very few people have heard him speak. Fewer still have heard him speak in a language they understand. And when Abramovich does speak, it's never in public or to the media. As for the people he employs to actually run Chelsea -- primarily club Chairman Bruce Buck and Chief Executive Ron Gourlay -- they talk very little and say even less.

Where to begin?

Yesterday started well. I heard West Ham were 2-0 up and it all looked as if it could be a fine day from an Arsenal point of view. Taking a taxi back to the hotel after the 5s and we heard United's c0meback. Then our game became even more important and even more crucial. We could keep pace with United or we could let our chance at the league title slip and I think that's what happened yesterday.

¿Qué hizo Cristiano Ronaldo para conquistar a Irina Shayk? Según ella, hacer gala de su inteligencia, elegancia y sentido del humor. Así es como la modelo rusa ha definido qué es lo que busca en un hombre.
Lo que a Irina Shayk no le hace gracia, al menos, por el momento es formar una familia.

"Etuhu hands Fulham fitness boost."

Is this what the headline means? Etuhu gave Mark Hughes a bar of chocolate? The Boost in question has Guarana in it, which gives you energy.

Why can't journalists say what they mean? "Dickson Etuhu is fit for Saturday" doesn't lose much does it?

So this will be my last bag for six weeks. Have give up beer and chocolate without a problem but crisps and tea are soooo tough.

As well as the giving up I also keep a Lentern swearbox so self improvement all round lol

Do love Lent....love hearing about what other people are doing and sharing the collective challenge.

Regardless of what you may think of Cristiano Ronaldo's hot chick
'o the day, there's no denying this is a major coup for her and a
major inspiration for those of the toned and tanned who dream of
riding on the coattails of their rich, famous and well-gelled other
halves.

Well, we certainly could have done better converting the chances we created, but all in all, we have every reason to be happy with that performance.

We were dominant throughout, and we really could have won by a lot more. van Persie opened the scoring in the 16th minute with an absolutely fantastic goal.

West Ham 0 Arsenal 3
After what was one of the worst Arsenal performances I could remember, we needed a response. Whether or not Arsene was angry after the Ipswich game is somewhat moot - on Saturday we clearly saw a response and it was arguably the most domineering we've seen Arsenal this season.

More than two thirds of the possession, 21 shots, 11 on target, 3 excellent goals, 3 well deserved points, and a clean sheet to boot.

Arsenal made a strong start and dominated the game from kick-off. The first few minutes were a repeat of the Ipswich game with the ball getting to the opposition penalty box but the final pass lacking.

Well, that was fun, wasn't it?

A 3 points richly deserved from Arsenal today. It's easy to say it's only West Ham. But West Ham have played us pretty tough the last couple of seasons. We are on a bad run of form, whereas they've been playing okay lately. And they were playing to save the job of Avram Grant, who by all accounts is a popular manager among the players.
