Who Could Arsenal Face in the Champions League Qualifiers? by FD
So Arsenal have once again seen off the Spuds and secured fourth place in the Premier League and confirmed our place in the Top Four for the 16th time in a row. Can you believe that the bookies are now offering the great price of 8/11 for the Gunners to do it again next season.

Following Tottenham Hotspur's victory over Arsenal yesterday, the red side of London has today been linked to PSV's Kevin Strootman. The 23 year old could Dutch international would be a welcome signing for Arsene Wenger's side, as the club failed to replace their former defensive midfielder when Alex Song signed for FC Barcelona this past summer.
With Arsenal confirming their intention to visit Jakarta in July it is worth looking at recent friendlies proposed by PSSI that never happened. This is not meant to mock anyone or organisation so please don't read anything into it and don't start looking for a pattern.
The PSSI stand on the cusp of a FIFA suspension (yeah, we heard that before) if they don't sort their stuff out by the end of March and who knows where that will leave the Arsenal tour eh?

The CSKA Moscow talent has won a major battle to get fit for inclusion in the squad. Born in
1990, he will be one of the youngest players in the tournament but Dick Advocaat knows the
importance of his linking skills behind either Pavel Pogrebnyak or Roman Pavlyuchenko.
During an illustrious career that has lasted 21 seasons, Mark van Bommel has brought his uniquely aggressive brand of football to PSV, Barcelona, Bayern Munich and Milan. Back with PSV this season, the 36-year-old midfielder played his 350th Eredivisie game on Sunday, which turned out to be a 3-1 loss at FC Twente.
Feyenoord beat PSV 2-1 at De Kuip over the weekend to whittle down Eindhoven's lead at the top of the Eredivisie to just three points, but it was the guff that followed the match which has gained the most attention.
Having already had a bit of a barney on the pitch during a tetchy match, PSV's Jeremaine Lens was caught on 'tunnel-cam' lurking at the top of the stairs for Joris Mathijsen to come in from the pitch and, after waiting for some time, Lens pounced on the Feyenoord centre-half, grabbing a handful of Mathijsen's shirt before a multi-man fracas ensued.
PSV Eindhoven lost their first game back after the Eredivisie's winter break, going down 3-1 to little ol' PEC Zwolle and it's no surprise looking at the shocking 'finishing' on show.
Already 2-1 behind, PSV conspired to spluff three one-yard sitters in the space of a single second or so, with Tim Matavz, Dries Mortens and Jeremain Lens all somehow managing not to score when it seemed much easier to just hit the back of the Zwolle net and stop faffing about.

Jozy Altidore has enjoyed a dream season with AZ Alkmaar, and he found the perfect way to cap things off by scoring yet another goal, only this time to help his team win a trophy.
Altidore's first-half strike proved to be the difference as AZ held on for a 2-1 victory over PSV Eindhoven in the Dutch Cup Final on Thursday.
The Dutch Cup Final is set to take place this evening in Rotterdam as AZ Alkmaar take on PSV Eindhoven in what should be a fantastic end to Holland's domestic cup.

EINDHOVEN MIGHT BE Holland's fifth largest city, but they still had to find the keys to unlock the airport when I arrived there with a photographer in the spring of 1998. We had flown there to meet Jaap Stam just a week after he had joined Manchester United from PSV Eindhoven for £10.75 million, then the largest transfer fee ever paid for a defender.

Manchester United has looked really good for the majority of the current campaign. However, one thing that they have not looked is great. With a history are rich in victory and silverware as that of Sir Alex Ferguson in his past 25 years at the club, it is frustrating to any United fan to be dealing with their current state of being just not quite there.

Amidst all the names being linked with a move to Spurs this morning, there are two that won't be that familiar to supporters. The alleged January war chest has brought a flood of connections this morning so in a quite international week, it might just be worth looking at the two new boys.
With the success of Belgian players in the Premier League it's easy to link more of their countrymen with a move to England.

The Belgian winger has been attracting a lot of interest around Europe and it is believed that long term admirers Liverpool will make the first move in trying to bring the PSV man to the Premier League.

Manchester United has gotten the green light to being their true pursuit of PSV Eindhoven and Netherlands international forward, Kevin Strootman. The young Dutchman is believed to be a January transfer target for the English giants and could produce an interesting transfer saga if it all comes to pass.

PSV midfielder Erik Pieters return after a nine month lay-off with a broken foot went from bad to worse as first he received a straight red card for a reckless challenge as PEC Zwolle led 3-1 and as the angry midfielder went down the tunnel he kicked and then punched a glass window cutting his arm and needed surgery, with the club not yet knowing how long he will be out for!
In his first match after nine months off with a foot injury, PSV's Erik Pieters was sent off in the 67th minute of his side's 3-1 loss to PEC Zwolle on Friday. Pieters was understandably frustrated by this, but unleashed his frustration with a kick to the side of the tunnel as he made his way to the dressing room and topped it off by stupidly punching through a window.
In which, irate having been harshly sent off for a slightly mistimed slide tackle againstPEC Zwolle last night, PSV defender Erik Pieters (who was playing his first game after nine months out injured) hulks up while storming off the pitch and duly begins to kick the living daylights out of the tunnel a tantrum that culminates in Pieters punching through a plate glass window and slicing his hand apart like rare venison.
Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers could further his youth revolution with a swoop for Dutch hotshot Jurgen Locadia, according to Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf. Locadia, 18, announced himself to the world in spectacular fashion last month after scoring an 11-minute hat-trick on his Eredivisie debut for PSV during their 6-0 defeat of VVV.

O médio nigeriano acaba de ser libertado do Celtic, onde dispôs de poucas oportunidades para mostrar o seu valor, e assinar pelos também escoceses do Kilmarnock. Deste modo, o atual sétimo classificado da Liga escocesa é o terceiro clube que o jovem de 21 anos, - que com idade de juvenil terá sido disputado por diversos grandes clubes europeus – representa, após também não ter tido sucesso no PSV.
