In English football history two teams have in the past gone unbeaten throughout a league season.
The team in most recent memory is the Arsenal side of 2003/04.
That Arsenal side registered 26 wins and 12 draws for the campaign and played almost double the
games the previous invincible side (Preston North End 1888/89) had played.
I take you back to the 94/95 season. Arsenal finished 12th in the Premier League. 6 points
fewer, and they would have been relegated. It was a season riddled with scandal, with George Graham
being sacked for accepting bribes and Paul Merson famously breaking down and admitting his cocaine
and alcohol addiction.
The question we all have to ask our self is "is Arsenal in crisis? In my honest opinion Arsene
Wenger is delusional, he cannot see the obvious occurring at our club or can he? Does he not want
to state the obvious...?
Firstly with comments suggesting Cesc Fabregas is staying at arsenal and is happy at the club to
24 hours later being confirmed as a Barcelona player, there was no reason to state such a comment
in an interview, this lead to allot of fans loosing faith and belief in out club.
Costa Rican teenage sensation Joel Campbell who caught the eye in the Copa America campaign is
set to join Arsenal for a sum of £900,000. The Ticos exited in the group stage but Campbell made
his mark scoring in a 2-0 win against Bolivia. They were outclassed 0-4 against Argentina with
Campbell again shining with his speed and dribbling skills.
La Copa América se pone seria. Continuó la igualdad en la mayoría de los partidos y es que
los tres grandes (Argentina, Brasil y Uruguay) tuvieron que esperar al tercer partido para ganar.
Eso sí, aparecieron los goles, por esa misma urgencia de triunfo. Los de Argentina con Messi
armando el juego y una mejor coordinación, los de Colombia con el oportunismo de Falcao, los de
Venezuela con un gran corazón y sed de victoria y los de Brasil con una mejor puntería.
After a bore draw against minnows Venezuela – incidentally the only South American nation
never to have qualified for a World Cup – the wave of optimism surrounding coach Mano Menezes is
disappearing faster than a snowball in hell.
It was a different coach with some different players, but the formation and the style of play
were distinctly Dunga-esque.
05.07.2011 - Ya hablamos del
dinero que mueve este Brasileirao (más aun en tiempos
premundialistas) con aires de revaluación. Los regresos de Ronaldinho (Flamengo), Luis Fabiano
(San Pablo), Gilberto Silva (Gremio), Alex (Corinthians), Mancini (Atlético Mineiro), Elano
(Santos), Fred y Deco (Fluminense), Rafael Sobis (Inter), Juninho Pernambucano (Vasco da Gama) y
Rivaldo (San Pablo), entre otros, así lo indican.
14.06.2011 - La Copa del Mundo fue, es y será una cuestión de Estado que hoy apunta a
Brasil (2014). Los números pueden estremecer: u$s 6000 millones (de inversión) son insuficientes
para la dimensión de las necesidades mundialistas. Si bien la economía brasileña viene creciendo
al 7% anual y la pobreza (también) sigue arraigada, el gigante latinoamericano está lanzado a un
posicionamiento global y el Brasileirao sintonizó los efectos.

Another season of high hopes and eventual frustration for Arsenal has ended. Another season of,
at times enterprising football, but ultimately poor defending and poor decisions has ended with the
Gunners going six seasons without a trophy.
The chance of finishing the season without a trophy looked very unlikely as Arsenal went into
the Carling Cup Final as massive favourites against Premier League Minnows (and ultimately
relegation fodder) Birmingham City.
On the 5th of February we witnessed Cheik Tiote smash home the eighth goal in a wondrous Premier
League affair in the North East. In the same afternoon another 35 goals were registered in
record-breaking style as the most entertaining and exciting weekend in English Football dazzled the
country.
We made it much more difficult for us than we needed to but, thanks for Michel's last second
GOLARA, AEK are through to the semi-finals!
I'll admit that I did miss the second half due to this lovely snowstorm we had today in Ontario
and the shoveling which was required, but I managed to catch the first even though it wasn't all
good news.
