Liverpool's Champions League hopes got a beating when they conceded a 90th minute goal to Lyon's
Lisandro in their encounter last night. Just seven minutes back, Ryan Babel had done his bit and
put the Reds in the lead. With this 1-1 draw, Lyon enter the last 16 while Liverpool still five
points behind second [.

had a harsh time in the Primera Division, as well as in the Champions League. But two sensational
strikes from Sergio Aguero ensured that fans at the Vicente Calderon did not go home unhappy.

Fulham came from two goals down to hold Manchester City to a draw 2-2. This played a spoiler to
City's clean record at home as they have won their last seven games at Eastlands. While the match
saw some tense minutes in the first half, no team could score. Joleon Lescott broke the shackles

Sweden striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic has become the latest Barcelona star to egotistically
pronounce the treble winning club's's dominance over their global rivals. Following Sweden's bitter
loss to Denmark this weekend, where the spotlight was stolen away from him thanks to Nicklas
Bendtner's scintillating performance for the Danes, Ibrahimovic has taken his frustrations out on
former club Inter Milan.

Last season all we heard from fans and the media a like was Liverpool have drew too many games.
This season is a different story. If we end up loosing a few more games but secure less draws we
could end up better than last season. I know it sounds stupid but if we loose 1 [...]

While he was honored as Estonia's best player in the past half a century by the nation's
football association, Mart Poom could not earn even remotely the same kind of respect on club
level. Despite boasting a variety of Eastern European and English clubs on his resume during his
early days as a player, the legendary former Estonia goalkeeper is best remembered for an extremely
inactive spell as a back-up keeper at Arsenal F.

When the Carling Cup Round 3 draw was first made, it was very difficult to
imagine West Bromwich Albion providing much of a competition to
Arsenal at The Emirates. Granted, Arsene Wenger
uses the competition to provide some first-team action to his reserves, but even those teenagers
usually prove to be a handful for the opponents.

The first defeat of the season is always the most tricky one to deal with. Perhaps that explains
why some feel that the earlier it comes, the better. At the beginning of the 2007-08
season, a determined young Arsenal squad made a typically flying start to
the campaign.

With the commencement of the UEFA Champions League group stages this midweek,
an important piece of news was relegated to the back of most reporting outlets. Perhaps another
reason behind the lack of coverage for the story in question was the refusal, on part of most
football lovers, to recollect any part of the uninspiring internationals
break.

For Premier League fans around the world, the last couple of weeks have been
almost too painful to endure as something very important seems to have disappeared out of our
lives. But with yet another international period finally in the
books, we can once again look forward to the return of our most beloved brand of football this
weekend.

Some moments are never meant to be forgotten. The entire world of football witnessed one such
shocking moment a little less than two years ago in London. On a rainy evening at
Wembley, hosts England were expected to advance to the finals of
Euro 2008 with just a draw needed against visiting Croatia.

Officiating in modern day football has already received its fair share of flak. Of course,
whenever a certain team is at the receiving end of harsh refereeing decisions, its passionate fans
jump at the opportunity to hit back at the match officials with great force. In this article,
however, I will not go ahead with the oft-repeated idea of accusing the referees of lacking the
ability to call big games without the heavily proposed use of technology.

. The game began with instant drama as Giovanni gave Hull City the lead in the third minute, and
the Tigers goalkeeper Boaz Myhill was barely asked any significant question by Wolverhampton
Wanderers. But the Wolves came back strong after the break, and this paid off instantly with
youngster Richard Stearman levelling the terms within 60 seconds [.

. A dismal draw was witnessed at Ewood Park between Blackburn and West Ham United as none of the
teams scored. Blackburn substitute David Hoilett had two chances but was stopped in his tracks by
the keeper. This match was very important for the Rovers who have lost all their previous
encounters this season.

Stability. Composure. Quality. These are just a few adjectives that
England's defense certainly doesn't deserve based on the Three Lions' 2-2 draw
against Holland in their most recent international fixture. However, only the
aforementioned adjectives can do justice to one defender that England's system failed to
recognize.

This coming season promises to be the most exciting in years. Of course, every coming season
promises to be the most exciting in years. This is one of the many truisms of English Football.
Last season we gaped open mouthed as Manchester City clumsily wooed Global Franchise Entities with
the promise of dreams and Ferrero Rocher.

So the draw has just been done and Arsenal have been drawn with none other than Celtic f.c.
After much hype from Sky sports all week along with BBC sport; arsenal can be drawn with celtic,
Arsenal to be drawn with celtic, arsenal and celtic can possibly meet i find it sooo predictable
and quite annoying that we have got celtic.

Football is a funny game - this is the sport where anything, and I mean
anything, can happen completely out of the blue. For example, no one ever imagined
that Brazilian star Ronaldinho, who was literally unstoppable not too long ago, would suddenly
become as anonymous as he is nowadays.

Cinderella stories happen everyday, everywhere in this world. In particular, when it comes to
the world of football, we have seen quite a few of them. After all, who would have thought that
Senegal would knock France out of the World Cup in 2002? Or who would have picked Greece to win it
all in the European Cup of 2004?

Football FanCast columnist Mike Harvey feels that technology in
football is not the answer.
Officiating in football is headline news these days. The past few weeks left a sour taste in the
mouths of many fans. FIFA is at a crossroads and how they choose to handle this problem will affect
the game for years.

I think we can all agree that Gareth Bale is not a bad player. In fact, at 19 years of age, he
is surely one of the most promising - if not the most promising - left backs in
the Premier League and in the world. Likewise, I think we can all agree that Tottenham win their
fair share of games.

A very impressive Stoke City side continued to march up the table by handing Hull City a shock
2-1 defeat at the KC Stadium this afternoon. In all fairness, Phil Brown's Tigers were completely
outplayed and had it not been for defender Andy Dawson's last minute consolation, the final score
would have been a little too embarrassing for the hosts.

Here in America, ESPN is truly the "Worldwide Leader In Sports." Millions of people wake up with
Sportscenter in the morning, and go to bed with it on in the evening. Anyone in America that
follows sports seemingly gets their information from ESPN.
The only problem? ESPN has literally no respect for soccer.

Having been a long-time fan of the Premier League, I completely understand that top-flight
English football is synonymous with a rollercoaster ride. Not only do we see teams in and out of
the driving seat in terms of controlling the title race, but each week we have new teams competing
for European qualification, or quite simply, to avoid relegation.

After witnessing one of the most exciting Premier League games I have seen in a long time,
Andrei Arshavin has possibly arrived.
Arshavin scored four times yesterday in Arsenal's 4-4 draw with Liverpool, and easily looked
like the most dangerous player on the Arsenal side.
The Russian playmaker has looked okay thus far, scoring two goals adding three assists in seven
Premier League matches, but you had to wonder whether or not the chemistry was really there between
him and his teammates.

Apologies for these going up Monday morning, but I was gone all weekend and only just had time
to review the weekend's activities and decide, yet again, that the future looks increasingly bright
at Manchester United. With goals from Danny Welbeck (18), Nani (22), and Darron Gibson (21), United
look fully capable of remaining both a domestic and international threat for the ostensible
future.
