The Tevez-Pato "will he? won't he" questions ricocheted every which way this January as the
musical chairs transfers song played at AC Milan, but at the end everyone retook their own chairs.
Boring. Perhaps they were dating Berlusconi's daughter, or were on £200,000 a week slave wages
that no one else could match, but whatever the reason, that anti-climax will be followed up by a
busy February and early March.
With Arsenal currently sitting 7th in the Premier League Table, it's now truly inevitable that
Robin van Persie will choose a new club come summertime, barring some miracle. Because it seems so
predestined, the notion doesn't trigger anxiety levels of Fabregas proportions in summers past,
where you just really didn't know what was going to happen.
More than any other matchup, the coming together of Barcelona and Madrid forces apart the
usually shared preferences of the cultfootball brain trust. So today's match was one where both
sides could come away feeling they'd won some important battles, if not the war.
The game was not 90 minutes of pure flowing football.
Without a "Group of Death," and without 5 of the top 8 ranked African countries (Egypt, Algeria,
Nigeria, Cameroon and South Africa all failed to qualify), the opening stages of the African Cup of
Nations lacks a bit in the tasty fixtures department. For perspective, Tunisia, the participating
country with the fourth-highest FIFA ranking is still behind tiny Cape Verde Islands (who also did
not qualify).
Jurgen Klinsman, Jermaine Jones and Ricardo Clark. The first a German, and famous at that. The
second a mix of American and German, currently playing his club ball with Schalke 04 in der
fatherland. The third born in America, a defensive midfielder in the 2nd Bundesliga for Eintracht
Frankfurt. Could it be some hidden understanding from this shared German-ness that pushed Klinsman
to pick Clark off the bench, and for Jones to find the late substitute with a perfectly dipped
cross?
None of today's matches are necessarily must-see; but if you must watch some football, here's
what we recommend:

England, Norwich-Chelsea (7:30amET ESPN2, ESPN Deportes, ESPN3.com): Norwich
(and Swansea) have attracted attention as newly-promoted sides that have fought their way into the
top half the table.
Those crazy kids over at TMZ managed to get their hands on pictures of Amanda Knox wearing a
Seattle Sounders scarf, along with her Halloween outfit. Considering Knox has played the beautiful
game, not surprising that she's pulling for the home team in the MLS playoffs (though Real Salt
Lake beat them up pretty good, 3-0, this weekend).
USMNT player Carlos Bocanegra poses for Pepsi Max campaign. The Californian native posted this

Just to get you in the mood for this weekend's clash with Manchester United here are a few snaps
from past clashes.

Everyone has been talking for weeks about the new LFC kit, and plenty of fakes have been
circulated over the internet, but we have a picture of both the LFC 11/12 away kit and the new
11/12 LFC goalkeeper shirt!

I make fun of a lot of players for pretending to be models. Everyone from Beckham to Ronaldo as
tried their hands at modeling, but Canadian soccer player Adrian Cann is actually a model. Before
he played professionally, he was walking down runways in Milan. He got his big break signing to top
agencies such as Next Models in Canada and Boss Models in New York.

Arsenal's victory over Barcelona yesterday was the stuff that dreams are made of. A bit of a
rivalry has been developing between the clubs, and Arsenal has now tipped the scales in their
favor. It was an epic performance against an equally brilliant challenger, and Arsenal deserve much
more praise than anyone outside the Arsenal blogosphere are giving them.
THE DAY IS AT HAND.
It's put up or shut up time for the old Arsenal. Today we host Barcelona in the fabled
Champion's League in a game which surely the entire world will be watching. When we have a global
audience for big games like this I get extremely excited and extremely worried.
For one, the lads have the opportunity to really strut their stuff and make what many people say
is "the best team in the world" look like a bunch of school kids.
A lot has been said about the Newcastle game, but I haven't had a chance to chime in yet. My
very quick summary is that we lost that match for three reasons, in order of importance:
- Phil Dowd and the assistant referees
- Arsenal rolled over too easily
- Diaby lost control
Dowd's decisions were atrocious.
So right now, as I write this, Fabregas and van Persie have been taking pictures of their
teammates as they sleep. I'm not sure what kind of a team bonding experience this is, but it's
clear that this is how you are supposed to treat your teammates.
Wilshere is awake and tweeted that he is never going to be able to sleep while travelling
again.
Sometimes the internet is a terrible thing. Like when it creates a storm of hate around
something from nothing.
It began with a match in which the referee made some horrendous calls. Then it boiled over when
Moyes called out Fabregas after the eventual win against Everton. Moyes claims that Fabregas said
"How much are Everton paying you?
That was a dirty, scrappy match that we won yesterday. There wasn't a stretch of the match that
wen't on for more than 5 minutes (I think) that didn't have a rough tackle, foul, or whistle.
Unfortunately, in the first half, the ref was entirely one-sided.
I am beyond angry at the announcers for that match.
What. The. Hell. Was. That.
That was probably the craziest last-day-of-the-transfer-window ever. There were some pretty high
figures being bounded about over some equally high name players. Sort of. The new Liverpool owners
are literally going for broke to try to rescue their season.
The Premiership... the final frontier. These are the voyages of the football club Huddersfield
Town. Its continuing mission: to explore strange new stadiums, to seek out new players and new
teams, to boldly go where no Terrier has gone before.
Well, it's Huddersfield in the F.A. Cup today. At the Emirates, too.
Theo Walcott has really come into his own in the 2010-11 season. Proof: He has more goals
already this season than any of his previous seasons. Supplementary proof: He already has more
assists than any of his previous seasons.
Theo's maturing nicely, and his game shows it. As we all know, a key aspect of Walcott's game is
his blinding fast speed.
Guess what? Sagna joined twitter! All you technophobes are probably rolling your eyes... well
pick them up off the floor already and listen up. Having any of our players on twitter is great
because we get to hear directly from them about their lives, their matches, and all the other
behind the scene goodies.
Yesterday we won against Ipswich at home in a 3-0 victory (a score I predicted). It was a great
game that had a fair amount of tension built up after a scoreless first half. We never really
looked in doubt though, given the amount of pressure we were putting on their goal.
I was a bit nervous after seeing the line-up.
Sunday's display of misogyny between Andy Gray and Richard Keys was something legendary indeed.
Men capable of displaying such baffling thoughts are far and few between, unless you live in the
Middle Ages (in which case, get off this future contraption and back to your manure patch). But
finding men that genuinely think women don't understand off-sides and then actually
verbalize that is like finding a needle in a haystack.
Two teams. Two coaches who count on the Coupe de France to salvage their record at the end of
the season. Granted, Nice is in a far worse position than Lyon; but when you're coaching Lyon,
you're expected to win the title, or, at the very least, to be qualified for the Champions
League.
Robin Van Persie put on a finishing clinic at the Emirates yesterday. Fortunately, Wigan
obliged. Although Wigan goalkeeper Al-Habsi was putting on a clinic of his own in reactionary
saves. Arsenal's play was just too good and one goalkeeper alone was never going to save the
day.
I can't tell you how happy I was with yesterday's match.
Recently Robin van Persie was spotted over the coastal town of Portsmouth engaging in some
leisure activity. Skydiving to be exact. In his full kit and cleats for Christ's sake.
It's all part of a new marketing effort from an American PR firm to add more excitement and
synergy to the start of the match.
I'm not sure how exactly this happened, but it looks painful. The fine ladies over at Kickette
seem to think this is Denilson giving a little somethin-somethin to the family jewels of Bradley
Johson. It certainly looks like it is Denilson.
Whatever sort of approach Johnson was taking to this incoming aerial ball was entirely
the wrong choice.
He's the friendliest ghost there is. In that he plays for Leeds, so even his amazing goalkeeping
skills can't prevent us from putting 3 past him. That save he made against Chamakh's header was
something else though.
Bacary Sagna has been on a roll this season. Save for the recent red card against Manchester
City, which in all fairness was well deserved, he's been consistently good, if not great. Like
Clichy on our left, Sagna's speed adds a great deal of opportunity on our right flank. In addition,
his crosses and offensive skill have gotten better with time but without sacrificing his defensive
capabilities.
It's a strange thing, but must admit that I had a dream about Thomas Vermaelen. No. Not one of
those dreams.
But since I haven't seen him play in so long, he showed up everywhere, like in 'Being John
Malkovich'. His face was plastered on every body as though it were some elaborate CGI joke
masterminded by James Cameron.
I added a new wallpaper called The Pitch. I started with a simple picture from the stands of a
game in progress. After removing all the players and adding some splashes of color and the Arsenal
crest, I think I ended up with a beautiful minimalist wallpaper that will satisfy the heart of any
gooner.
I don't need to tell you that Arsenal thumped West Ham in a convincing 3-0 win. I also don't
need to tell you that it was a huge return to form for most of the squad, save for Eboue. But, what
I do need to tell you is that Robin Van Persie has finally made me the fool. Several weeks ago I
wrote about how unconvinced I was of Robin van Persie's return to form, in particular that Chamakh
is capable of delivering more.
It's a sad state of affairs when the most exciting news out of the Arsenal camp is photographs
of Henry training with the squad. Yes, transfer deals and team news are interesting, but few
stories will get the blood of a gooner pumping like that of Henry in an Arsenal kit. It's a great
time to remember the peak of the Henry era given how tenuous things are at the moment.
in 2010, photos change, words not so much.
MLS Superdraft breakdown - you know you're not getting that here. But every year the draft marks
the beginning of a new soccer season. Beyond the MLS hot stove, it means the first USMNT game of
the new year is around the corner, with the Gold Cup just down the road.
The other day I made a funny image about Arshavin and his goal face. I said it made him look
like he was constipated. Loyal readers commented that generally speaking I was a terrible human
being for that. In response, over a twitter conversation with arseblogger, I ended up joking about
making Arhsavin riding a unicorn, as though that would make Arsenal supporters happy.
Apparently when I make fun of an Arsenal player by saying he has a funny celebration face, I'm a
terrible, terrible human being. I made this just to show that I'm not.
Here is Andrei Arshavin, The White Knight of Arsenal, using his patented "Two Goals At Once"
trick, riding atop his trusty Unicorn steed 'Belyh Faksov', while wielding a lightsaber.
