Nantes we favorites to win the game as Guingamp were struggling in the relegation places ahead of the match and Nantes were set to regain a promotion place.

Christian Bassila gave EAG the lead in the 32nd minute, heading home an Alharbi El Jadeyaoui corner, Gilmar then sealed the victory in the 72nd minute when he headed Guingamp into a 2-0 lead.

Just before the game yesterday between Man United and Chelsea, when the team news came through and there was no Rio Ferdinand, Nemanja Vidic or Dimitar Berbatov in the starting line-up, I was worried. We were going to Stamford Bridge without three of our main players but at the end of the game, I was disappointed for a totally different reason. Click to continue reading...

Or should I saw Wolves 3-Arsenal 2? We come away with 3 points on a scoreline which flatters us a little bit, on the back of 2 early Wolves own goals which put us up 2-0, a vantage point from which we never looked back.

Wolves strategy was pretty obvious, and wasn't a bad one as far as these things go.

This season in a nutshell, except it's the first draw in 17 games. Ecstasy and optimism followed by a kick in the teeth. A brilliant Babel opener off the bench, but a sloppy Lopez equalizer in the 90th after Liverpool couldn't completely clear late pressure, ending with a Bastos flick-on to Lisandro, who out-muscled Kyrgiakos to beat Reina.

Before yesterday's game, all Man United needed to do to qualify for the next stage of the Champions League was to win or draw. Last night there was a six-goal thriller at Old Trafford where things didn't go the way they were supposed to.
CSKA had got off to the better start but United were starting to control the game, when the visitors took the lead. Click to continue reading...

Arsenal 3-0 Tottenham

For a football fan, there can be few things as satisfying as an epic goal bundle.

In order to achieve optimum conditions for bundles, several key elements need to be in place. Surprise is definitely one. Scoring against your old rivals is another.

After the 2-0 loss to Liverpool in the Premier League last weekend, Man United really needed a win against Blackburn Rovers. United were without the injured trio of Rio Ferdinand, Ryan Giggs and Nemanja Vidic.
The Man United starting XI was- Edwin Van Der Sar, John O'Shea, Wes Brown, Jonny Evans, Patrice Evra, Luis Nani, Anderson, Michael Carrick, Antonio Valencia, Wayne Rooney and Dimitar Berbatov. Click to continue reading...

Guingamp went behind in the 34th minute, Steve Haguy opening the scoring for the Tangos (1-0, 34 mins).

The game reamined 1-0 until the 81st minute when EAG cracked and conceeded 2 late goals.

Arsenal 2-1 Liverpool

Another great win in the Milk Cup for the Arsenal thanks to two crackers from Merida and Bendtner.

Though fatigue set in at the end, it was another feather in the cap for Wenger's second string. It seems to happen every year, yet every year it still surprises me how much potential there is bubbling under the surface at the club.

Any loss is disappointing, especially when the team's already lost six, but this one doesn't sting too bad. Arsenal, with Nasri, Bendtner, and Eduardo in the line-up, didn't exactly play the Super Teens, and probably deserved their victory. Click to continue reading...

Well, as the Who said, "The Kids Are Alright"

Arsenal beat Liverpool 2-1 to go through to the quarterfinals of the Carling Cup. And look: sure, it wasn't Liverpool's first team, either; we were playing at home; and it wasn't like this was a purely youth team Senderos, Silvestre, and Eduardo can all rightfully be called veterans, and Bendtner, Fabianski, and Nasri are all young but have a lot of first-team experience.

Man United are through to the final eight and one step closer retaining the Carling Cup after beating Barnsley 2-0. United were down to 10-men for half and hour after Gary Neville was sent of for a high challenge with his studs showing.

Guingamp suffered their first home defeat of the season last night at the hands of Harve AC.

Victor Zvunka opted for a 4-2-3-1 formation with Mustapha Allaoui leading the attack, Alharbi El Jadeyaoui also returned to the team in place of Richard Soumah who dropped to the bench.

Guingamp started brightly creating several opportunities but were behind after just 8 minutes, Nicolas Gillet volleying the ball past Trevisan (0-1, 8 mins).

West Ham 2-2 Arsenal

There are draws that seem like wins, and there are draws that seem like defeats. Today's was both depending which team you support.

Deeply frustrating if you're an Arsenal fan though. Coming back from two goals up might be a theme of the weekend, but it doesn't make it any less infuriating, does it?

Ok, so Liverpool have just beaten Man United 2-0 and I really am not happy. United can't just blame the referee but saying that, he definitely played his part.
Fernando Torres was named as man of the match- that probably explains everything. All he did was score a goal and fall to the floor. Click to continue reading...

Guingamp suffered their third straight away defeat at the hands of FC Metz last night.

Guingamp started the game brightly creating 3 good chances in the first half but Giresse, Soumah and Diallo were all unable to take their chances.

At half-time the game remained 0-0, Guingamp's failure to take their chances would once again come back to hurt them.

A Magnus Eikrem first half free-kick and two late second half goals from Febian Brandy and Zoran Tosic gave Man United a fairly comfortable win over Blackburn Rovers.

Arsenal 3-1 Birmingham City

I suppose football is the popular game that it is partly because, while money, good management and history will always bubble to the top over the course of a season, so much still relies on the vagaries of the human mind.

So it was yesterday.

Well, 3 more points, and we're back into the top 4, with 18 points from 8 games. And functionally, you could make the argument that we're in 2nd place, since we're only 3 points behind 2nd place Chelsea, with a home match against Bolton in hand, and a goal differential advantage over the Blues (and everyone else in the Premiership, for that matter).

Guingamp were held to a 1-1 draw at home to a well organized Dijon side at home last night.

Injuries to key players meant that Zvunka had to make some changes to the team for the game, the most notable being Gilbert Imbula Wanga who made his first professional appearance for the club.

Zvunka also decided to play two strikers, bringing Mathieu Scarpelli in to partner Mustapha Allaoui up-front.

Guingamp suffered another disappointing defeat last night at the hands of Nimes.

EAG have failed to win in the league since late August and worse still have only managed 1 goal in the 5 games previous to last nights game.

Guingamp enjoyed large spells of dominance over Nimes but the teams inability to score goals means the club travel back home empty handed.

Arsenal v Olympiakos Piraeus

Didn't get to see the game, but from the looks of things, it was one of those games that easily could have been much more lopsided than the end result I think 2-0 flattered the Greek side a bit. 12 shots on goal, many of them golden opportunities from close up, is quality, and I think we're almost always going to win if we can create chances like that.
