Another Big One Defeated: Brazil 1 – 0 England

See The Cup 14 November @ 02:42 PM EST

Brazil and England was going to be a reserve festival, as injuries took away many players from the match. So if in theory this is a match with no favorites, in reality, Brazil got that title as it had less players in the ER. Brazil had the responsibility to play better and add another match to the unbeaten streak against England that is 19 years-old.

Club v Country

Bitter and Blue 13 November @ 03:40 AM EST
Hard to keep him out of the headlines at the moment:

They had hoped to dissuade Robinho from reporting for international duty but relented after agreeing to send their own doctor with him so the injury could be assessed by Brazil's medical staff.

City had hoped Robinho would then fly back with them but have had to relent further, agreeing to him staying with Brazil – although they did not expect him to fly on to Oman for next Tuesday's match.

Gunners in the driving seat

Premiership Talk Blog 12 November @ 09:00 AM EST

At the start of the season, Arsene Wenger's young Gunners were written off as title challengers by many analysts and TV pundits. Some even argued that the new Manchester City powerhouse would take over Arsenal at the top of the table.

It was an easy assumption to make as City made news every day during the transfer window.

Something about Brazilian music not being good enough for the neighbours.

Mark Hughes seems to be doing a good job of getting rid of all the Brazilians in the team. Elano, Jo, and now Robinho. We can also look forward to the African clique, Adebayor and Kolo Toure, being broken up.

'Oh yes he is', 'Oh no he isn't'

Bitter and Blue 10 November @ 03:34 PM EST
Pantomime season is almost upon us, but the contradictory stories over the future of Robinho continue apace.
There have been a series of reports in today's press with regard to his future, and with many seemingly different angles taken.
AS reported Joan Laporta as indicating the club would back the management at Barcelona should Robinho be a target for them:
"We are not going to close any door or end any plan because, although the squad is competitive, as was shown against Mallorca, if the coaches want to strengthen in the winter market and they recommend a player to us, I am sure we can make a move.

Villa Or Silva Or Both?

Blog United 29 October @ 06:54 AM EST

United have once again been linked with January moves for Valencia's star men, David Villa and David Silva. The future of both Spanish Internationals was the focus of much media attention over the summer with Barcelona, Real Madrid and Liverpool keeping tabs on the situation to name but a few.

Valencia managed to hold on to their prized assets in the summer but as their financial troubles show no sign of letting up, it looks increasingly likely they will lose one if not both in the winter.
