Wolves preview + Saturday round-up

Arseblog 07 November @ 03:10 AM EST

Good Saturday to you all. Here is the news.

It looks like Manuel Almunia is back in pole position. Or, he would be if Arsenal was a Forumula 1 team and he'd just come fastest in qualifying, but you know what I mean. A mixture of a chest infection, family tragedy and just plain old poor form meant his start to the season was a bit all over the shop, but it seems as if the manager is ready to put his faith in him again.

So you like the look of Hugo, boss…

Arsenal Insider 07 November @ 03:01 AM EST

by CARL ELDRIDGE Manuel Almunia has been told by Arsene Wenger that he will remain Arsenal's No 1 goalkeeper.

But the Daily Mail reports that while the Spaniard prepares to face Wolves today he may be interested in the rave review Wenger has given fellow Frenchman Hugo Lloris, the 22-year-old Lyon keeper who starred in the Champions League midweek frustration of Liverpool.

Girls with Game 06 November @ 07:29 PM EST
So sorry everyone on the latest of the preview this week. Have just been a little busy, but here it is anyway. A shortened version this week so we can just get right to the juicy stuff. All games are today, so a very short-sharp round with (hopefully) lots of action.

AEK 2-2 BATE

AEK Archives 06 November @ 05:06 PM EST

So, one point from a game where it won't really do much to help us. In reality though, we could have come away with all three points had we managed to score one more of our chances, or had Saja not made a terrible mistake that the goalkeeper on my own amateur team would likely avoid.

Well, AEKBaltimore will watch the match on TV soon, since I believe he recorded it, and I'm not sure if AEKMAN74 watched as well.

Dude calls van der Sar a bad teammate

The Beautiful Game (2) 06 November @ 01:18 PM EST
Tomasz Kuszczak (left) is a reserve goalkeeper for Manchester United.
Recently he made all the headlines for calling the Old Trafford No. 1 'keeper Edwin van der Sar (right) selfish, damn selfish. It's creating a bit of a controversy in England, and I'm pretty sure it's because Kuszczak needed to try to find a way to become relevant. Click to continue reading...

Best Football Advert Ever… The Red Devil Honey Monster

Inthestands.co.uk - Football Banter For the Masses - Football Blog 05 November @ 10:43 PM EST

A follow up to last weeks advert from a few years later, the Honey Monster now finds himself a reserve goalkeeper for Manchester United in a European fixture...

I'm pretty sure Peter Schmeichel should have been sent off for the foul, instead good ol' Honey Monster gets subbed on and pulls off a blinder of a save Rene Higuita-esque.

The Best Goalkeepers in South Africa

World Cup Buzz 05 November @ 08:02 PM EST

With much of the qualification process almost complete and South Africa 2010 looming large, it would make sense to assess some of the world's best custodians who will be present during the World Cup. Goalkeepers such as Petr Cech will be excluded from the discussion since their nation failed to qualify for next summer's big event.

Scout Report: Igor Akinfeev, CSKA Moscow

ManUtd24 05 November @ 05:50 AM EST

No wonder Sir Alex Ferguson admires him so much. Igor Akinfeev may have conceded three goals though none of them was his fault but he had pulled off a number of world-class saves which had frustrated Manchester United.

He is only 23, but he has been first choice 'keeper at CSKA Moscow for six years now, and was just 17 when he broke into the Russian side making him the youngest ever.

Petrus 1988 – Highbury 2004: A Vintage Year for Wine And A Vintage Year for Football

Avenell Road 05 November @ 05:34 AM EST

Arsenal verses Alkmaar 2009: this was not a beery, blood and guts affair of Tottenham in the League or a high energy, alcoho pop fuelled Carling Cup encounter with Liverpool, this Champions League game was a fine red wine for the football connoisseur.

An excellent selection by Wenger: a blend of player that complemented each with the depth of Gallas and Vermaelen and the much anticipated combination of Fabregas, Arshavin and Nasri.
