This is what happen last time we have Wolves in the EPL

Arsenal visit Molineux Stadium tonight and it's a good oppourtunity to continue the good run that we are currently going through. This is no walk in the park for Arsenal as both Fulham and Aston Villa have came and gone home with only a point.

Carling Cup tomorrow, with a home matchup against Liverpool.

As I've said previously, I feel a little conflicted about the competition. Do I want to win? Yes, of course. But I have mixed feelings about how we treat the competition. Because, to be clear, Arsene Wenger does not really care about winning the Carling Cup.

Sorry faithful readers for not updating lately. As I have previously stated, I definitely struggle to muster the words when we lose. I take it very hard, and that has certainly not changed in the now 11 years of support. I have also never witnessed such a massive dip in form as the one we [...] Click to continue reading...

The third C-word to consider is choking. Can you have both 'choking' and 'complacency' in one game. I believe you can. Hello, Gooners wherever in the world you are reading this. As promised this is my second preview-ish post to the game against West Ham. Why two posts BEFORE a game? Special games need special focus.

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.

Tomorrow night the Wizards will end what's been a lackluster 2009 season when they take on DC United at Community America Ballpark. While this game means nothing for KC, it means everything for DC. DC needs a win and some help to get themselves one of the two remaining playoff spots. They're competing with 5 other teams for those 2 remaining spots. Click to continue reading...

This is it.

October 24 will be the end of an era (error?) for New York soccer. Toronto FC will be the final opponent on that cursed rubber pitch that has haunted this franchise for 14 years now. Yes fans, the day has come. It is finally over.

No more unpredictable bounces. No more turf burn.

If the Wizards want to make the playoffs this year, they're likely going to have to win out. Sure they are only 6 points out at the moment, but with so many other teams between them and the 8th playoff spot, KC is going to likely need to grab all 12 available remaining points to get into the post season.

Here it is. Like The Riddle Of The Great Pyramids, the Red Bulls have been staring at this mathematical equation for the better part of two seasons now, and that number continues to escalate. 25 game winless streak on the road. Another Osorio record. But can Richie turn it around against San Jose?

So we're back in action today with a big match against Olympiakos. At the moment, we are co-group leaders after we had that erm..."interesting" win over Standard and Olympiakos dispatched AZ. A win and 3 points today would put us well and truly in control of the group. As I've discussed before, the last match of the group stage for us is playing Olympiakos in Athens, which is always a tricky fixture, and I'd rather not have our knockout stage qualification depend on getting a result out of that match.

This weekend, the Wizards welcome FC Dallas to Kansas City in what is a must win for both teams if they want to make the playoffs this year. Both teams can only barely see the playoffs and getting 3 points tomorrow night out at CAB will be big for either team. Dallas comes into this game having put another half a dozen on the board, this time out in LA against the Galaxy. Click to continue reading...

You can see it clearly can't you? We're all expecting a comfortable win because we play Wigan. They've yet to beat us in the Premiership. Martinez is going to be 4th Wigan manager attempting to change this. And he believes attacking is the way to go. Just like Liege in the last game who bombarded our defence when they had the chance.

The Wizards finish their 3 games in 8 days East Coast road trip tomorrow in New York where they take on the Red Bulls. Over the course of this season, the Red Bulls have been the worst team in the league, for a long time flirting with being the worst ever.

I don't have anything against City fans. These guys have suffered a lot over the last two decades. Newcastle fans may lay a claim to have suffered more but atleast they didn't have a city rival winning Premier league after league besides seeing their own club struggle to compete at the highest level themselves.
