I'm So Dizzy My Head is Spinning

LadyArse - Arsenal and the world of football from a woman's perspective @ OleOl 05 November @ 07:46 AM EST

Literally, Nope, not drink induced, although that's how it feels. I have an inner ear infection which basically means I can't move without falling over. Under Doctors orders I'm confined to bed to keep my head as still as possible which in itself is causing problems as my neck stiffens up and threatens to bring on a full blown migraine.

LATEST: Administration looms for Southend

Longpier 03 November @ 07:21 PM EST
Southend United will today (Wed) learn whether they will enter administration and be deducted 10-points from their League One tally.

Part-time Pundit 31 October @ 07:13 AM EST


Match of the weekend is no doubt the London derby, Arsenal v Tottenham.

Ade The Misunderstood?

WDKF | Qualified Football Arm Chair Managers Slash Pundits 30 October @ 04:31 PM EST
Adebayor has once again broken his silence about his true feelings for Arsenal, the fans and former team mates. Much has been thrown his way since interests from other clubs began surfacing after the 07/08 season when he scored a remarkable 30 goals for the Arsenal. But, does he really deserve the stick he's gotten [. Click to continue reading...

Secret meditation room helping Chelsea players put mind over matter

bridge views 28 October @ 09:52 AM EST

In July I wrote a piece about Bruno Demichelis, a sports psychologist Ancelotti brought with him from Milan. Judging from his experience in setting up the venerated MilanLab, it seemed he had moved to London to help extend the careers of Chelsea's older players. The latest from Cobham suggests that he's turning to an unlikely source – meditation – to take the science much further.

Freddie's Column: Enjoying life in Seattle

Sanford's Soccer Net 28 October @ 08:29 AM EST
It was great to see the U.S. qualify for the World Cup and I think that's great for American soccer, but as a Swede, of course I'm upset that we couldn't qualify. Our biggest rival is Denmark and we knocked them out last qualification round and unfortunately they knocked us out this time.
And they are much more relaxed here in Seattle. Click to continue reading...

League Action

The Soccer Weblog 28 October @ 07:07 AM EST
Score-lines from the weekend's football included a 2-2 draw between West Ham and Arsenal at Upton Park, ahead of Arsenal's rather more bitter London derby this weekend against Tottenham Hotspur. Chelsea trounced Blackburn Rovers 5-0 after a defeat against Aston Villa the week before which keeps them out in front, though in a rather less spectacular points lead. Click to continue reading...

Any differences between Senderos now and Upson then? West Ham game Preview I

Gunners Today 24 October @ 07:27 AM EST

London Derby number two is up next when we play West Ham and as usual the media are building it up in their own typical manner.

Couple of them focused on Wenger's thoughts on Upson. As we know, Upson never quite fulfilled his potential at Arsenal. If I'm wrong about this do correct me but his last ever game in an Arsenal shirt was against Aston Villa in 2001 where he was absolutely shocking in the first half.

Americans Abroad: Europa League Rewind

Soccer By Ives 22 October @ 04:07 PM EST

It was another brutal outing for Tim Howard and Everton this afternoon. Facing Benfica in a clash of the top two teams in Group I, it was never going to be easy. Three of the four Everton defenders were playing out of position, including Seamus Coleman, on his club debut.

The results were pretty much what you would expect.

Style Off: Yulia Voronin v Claire Merry

The black blazer w/jeans look is easy to pull off and a no-brainer when you need to head out the door in a flash. It's a frequent and favoured WAG uniform too. We give you:

Yulia Voronin (Andriy Voronin) out doing the shopping at Mothercare in Liverpool; and Claire Merry (Thierry Henry's ex-wife) in London, on her way to visit friend Matt Lucas.

1-1 Away is normally not a bad result. Why so serious?

Gunners Today 20 October @ 05:12 PM EST

 I apologize to the joker for stealing that quote but it fits in well with this mini review of the match against AZ Alkmaar.

We've now played three games and collected 7 points. Most often than not, 9 points usually does the trick with regards to qualification. We have two home games, one against Alkmaar and the other against Liege.
