Inigo Lopez grabbed a late winner for Granada to give their La Liga survival hopes a big boost as they beat local rivals Malaga on Monday.

Ahead of United's game against Liverpool at the weekend, Kenny Dalglish has created even more ill-feeling by claiming that Luis Suarez, who was found guilty of racially abusing Patrice Evra, shouldn't have been banned.

"We don't think he should ever have been away but we are delighted to get him back," he said.

Not As Planned For Pelita Jaya

Pelita Jaya's biggest home crowd for many a year saw them beaten 3-1 by Persib. Ok, the game was played at Jalak Harupat which is Persib's home stadium but it used to be Pelita Jaya's though when they played there they struggled to attract fans in what is staunch Persib territory.

The game was moved from Pelita Jaya's usual home stadium of Singaperbangsa in Karawang probably because that stadium would not have been able to handle the travelling support and that makes two consecutive home games played ‘away' from home; they hosted Persija in Solo for the same reason.

Thierry Henry's short return to Arsenal apparently has been considered very useful for club's manager, Arsene Wenger, as he is currently hoping that Henry's loan could be extended for another two weeks.

Wenger revealed that the veteran striker brought plenty positive attitudes for the other players as they listen and learn lots of things from the Gunners' legend, something that obviously helped the tactician's job in improving his team's performance.

Liverpool face off against Manchester City on Wednesday evening in the second leg of the Carling Cup semi final. Liverpool lead the affair 1-0 but with at least 90 minutes still to play the tie is obviously very delicately poised. The second leg will take place at Anfield and with the home crowd roaring them on Liverpool will consider themselves favourite and the more likely of the two teams to succeed.

Liverpool boss Kenny Dalglish rued his side's lack of creativity as they dropped more points at home after being held by Stoke.
The Reds have drawn seven of their 11 games at Anfield this season to seriously damage their chances of a top-four finish.
The home side had the majority of possession but struggled to get to grips with their unfamiliar 3-4-2-1 formation and failed to create too many goalscoring opportunities against a resolute Stoke defence.

The result I wanted even less than a win, a nil-nil bore draw in the bore draw leading to a replay. Something we could do without from every position except perhaps fiscal after all, I imagine a healthy sized home crowd for the return fixture will boost our coffers considerably given the apparent popularity of the fixture down the A46.

With a ravenous home crowd egging them on, this game turned out to be a bit of an ugly affair, with studs flying at different times and resulting in some nasty tackles and unsightly scenes.

Before his club's 1-0 defeat to City in last night's Carling Cup quarterfinal, Wenger had urged the home crowd to respect Nasri's contributions to the club rather than jeering him for the infamous summer exit.

A plethora of streaks came to an end in today's Premier League action as Arsenal and reigning champions Manchester United were held to home draws while under-pressure Chelsea finally won at Stamford Bridge after back-to-back defeats in recent weeks.

In reality, though, the trend of streaks coming to an end started at Britannia, when Stoke City ended a four-match slide with a 3-1 home win over the struggling Blackburn Rovers courtesy of goals from Rory Delap, Glenn Whelan, and Peter Crouch.

With seven wins from eight games and twenty-two points from a possible twenty-four, the sun is rising over the white and navy blue corner of North London at the moment. This evening's match against Aston Villa was one at which Tottenham Hotspur might, in other years, have chosen to fluff their lines, and Spurs supporters are rather over-familiar with their club's predilection for getting to the point of achievement before contriving to find a way to allow it to slip through their hands.

Watching the last 20 minutes of the Heart v Sydney FC game last night one thing was clear, the Heart players are not enjoying their game.
They are stressed. Perhaps even broken hearted. A goal from a corner - that van't Schip rightly pointed out wasn't a corner - and its is a draw. A 1-0 win from a quality goal from their new Brazilian signing is relegated to 1-1 and a 10th match without a win.
