All the talk was about the thrilling 3-3 draw between Chelsea and Manchester United. The Red
Devils' powers of recovery were once again apparent when they had looked down and out following a
four-minute blitz by Chelsea.
Everyone remarked that only Manchester United is capable of coming back and clinching a draw from
the jaws of defeat.
I HATE HIMLiverpool face Man Utd at Old Trafford on Saturday lunch-time in what
may look like a daunting task, to earn points away at the Manchester venue.
On paper, it seems a difficult job to get anything from the game, but I believe Liverpool are in
the right frame of mind to gain at least a point, if not all three against Ferguson's creaking
side.

David Silva is behind more goals than any other midfielder, having a total of 17 goals and
assists, followed by Gareth Bale on 16. Nani and Mata are tied on 13, Valencia and Nasri on 10,
Giggs with 9 and Young on 7. However, when you take in to consideration the games they've actually
played in, specifically focussing on starts, Giggsy comes out top with an impressive 1.
1. It's a strange one to take, I think if you had asked me before hand I would have said that it
was important Chelsea didn't lose the game. Saying that, to play well for the first ten minutes of
the second half and find ourselves 3-0 up was a bonus!. To throw it all away is tough to take.

Kuyt gets the winner...Liverpool successfully knocked Manchester
United out of the FA Cup on Saturday in a 2-1 win at Anfield. The Reds can now boast getting the
better of both teams in Manchester in less than a week. A Dirk Kuyt winner grabbed Liverpool the
glory in a game where United had most of the possession.
Manchester United were knocked out of the FA Cup at Anfield on Saturday by a less than impressive
Liverpool team. United enjoyed the lions share of possession for long periods of a game that they
by and large controlled, but the champions were once again guilty of making costly defensive errors
and at the other end they were toothless up front.

Atkinson was supposed to be in charge, but pulled out Thursday with a virus.
Sorry about the title, but I can't resist a good pun if possible. Misleading as it might be, I
must stress that I am not saying Johan Djourou deserves any credit for his performance against
Manchester United.
However, for all the criticism surrounding Arsene Wenger for his choice to remove Alex
Oxlade-Chamberlain just as he'd made our equaliser and was at the centre of everything good we were
doing, a rather more bold move by the boss has gone largely ignored: replacing the more experienced
Djourou, terrible as he was, for Premier League debutant Nico Yennaris, a move that proved more
successful than bringing on Andrey Arshavin later.
Sunday's match turned up a lot of heroes and villains for both teams. The match itself went like
most people had predicted; a close encounter that could have gone either way... that is until 75
minutes into the game, when what can only be considered a game changing event occurred. But I'll
get to that later.
szólj hozzá: Arsenal v Man United 1:2 MOTD
It was the 74th minute when Arsene Wenger went from mere arrogance to sheer incompetence.
Replacing Alex Oxlade Chamberlain with Andrey Arshavin. The Ox had been Arsenal's best player on
the pitch providing the side with desperately needed speed, ambition, and some quality skills.
Surprised? No. Disappointed? Of course.
Watching that match was painful, and I'm sure most of you caught the match. I will describe the
match in laconic detail, in order to spare us the pain:
First Half: We were dire. Really, really dire. We couldn't get out of own half
for most of the half, as United, who weren't so hot themselves, probed for an opener.
Arsenal vice-captain Thomas Vermaelen has returned to fitness in time for this evening's massive
home fixture against Manchester United while there were also another two surprises in the Gunners'
starting line-up against the reigning champions.
The 18-year old summer signing Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain makes a memorable debut while Tomas
Rosicky also starts over Andrei Arshavin and Yossi Benayoun, who have previously been preferred to
him this season.

Phwoar!
He may be well and truly into the autumnal phase of his career, however, at 36-years-old, David
Beckham still has a craving for footie with a place in Stuart Pearce's Team GB side at the Olympics
top of his to-do list.
Who was your sporting hero growing up?
My hero was Denis Law; as a player I loved Denis Law even though he is only a couple of years
older than me. He epitomised to me everything about a Scotsman. He could start a row in an empty
house, fight his own shadow, unbelievable courage, electric pace, exciting and dynamic to watch –
I always loved Denis as a player.

The returning Arsenal legend Thierry Henry is well aware that he doesn't have the same speed that
helped him become a world beater ten years ago, but he is certain he can contibute in other ways,
even if he doesn't play. He said: "Right from the start, as I said, it looks more like I [...]
Just a few observations to make.... (1) It's the passing stupid! Every time Man United lose or
play badly the passing is dreadful, and therein lays the causality. I don't think there's
anything...

This morning Sir Alex woke hoping to find that last night was simply a terrible dream, hoping
that his Manchester United team had not become the first finalists not to make it out of the group
the following season. But last night was no dream, and Thursday night appearances on channel 5 are
the embarrassing reality.

Dimitar Berbatov has been ruled out of Manchester United's massive Champions League trip to
Basle leaving Sir Alex Ferguson with limited options up front.
After Javier Hernandez suffered an ankle injury at Aston Villa on Saturday that is set to rule
him out for a month, Ferguson expressed the hope Berbatov would have recovered from his own ankle
problem to make the flight to Switzerland.
