As I do with most home games against any teams outside the top few teams in the Premier League, I'd expect victory for Spurs against Stoke. Tony Pulis has done wonders firstly to get his club into the league and secondly, turning them into a formidable top flight side.

While Stoke are renowned for their home form, they have also been a lot more solid on the road this season than they were last.

United got a goal from rookie Chris Pontius on an incredible 25-yard smash in the sixth minute, but Lawson Vaughn gave the home side a penalty in the 62nd minute that was put away by Lopez to draw Toluca even. The 1-1 score line stood at the final whistle.

The draw means United must wait and see what happens in the CD Marathon-Jabloteh game on Thursday evening.

Bobby Zamora was the beneficiary of a pass across the box that he tapped in for a 43rd-minute goal. Diomansy Kamara finished off the score line in the 64th. Click to continue reading...

D.C. United 1: 0 Columbus Crew
Six Word Novel Recap A decent team, with terrible supporters.
Let me just start by saying that Steve Cronin impressed the hell out of me last night. He played confidently, and he did not hesitate to come off of his line or even out of the box. At one point last night, he ran almost to the corner flag to shield a Crew player off the ball until it ran out for a goal kick. Click to continue reading...

Following a 2-2 draw last week against Sunderland and a loss for Chelsea earlier in the day, the pressure was on Manchester United to perform well.

Tomorrow Man United take on Bolton Wanderers at Old Trafford two weeks after the 2-2 draw with Sunderland.
Wayne Rooney will miss the match after suffering a calf strain against Ukraine for England. The good news is that Edwin Van Der Sar will return in goal, that will hopefully give United's defence some confidence. Click to continue reading...

.What a dramatic turnaround? Well it seems a never ending saga with Diego Armando Maradona being inside a football stadium, be it in the field or out of it. Argentina scraped 0-1 past Uruguay, who were reduced to ten men. However, it was overall a poor match in terms of football qualities. Lionel Messi again failed [. Click to continue reading...

Torres is in find form for the Reds.

This should be an interesting match. You have to think, given Liverpool's Champions League pedigree, that they should not have much of a problem with Italian side Fiorentina.

I wouldn't be so sure.

Fiorentina are an impressive fourth place in the Serie A at this point in the season and have been playing some brilliant football despite losing Melo to Juventus during the summer.

While we don't want to get carried away, Newcastle United gave a display for the ages last night, as they completely demolished Ipswich Town 4-0, and the score-line doesn't even tell the superiority of the Magpies, such was their complete domination of the game.

I know as soon as I dare to mention Sol Campbell's name, hundreds of people get straight on the comments to jump to his defence, but the bloke is seriously unbalanced. He's gone from one of the best defenders in the country to one of the biggest jokes in a relatively short space of time. I doubt he'd sign for Arsenal if he could have his time again; it all started going wrong from that point!

After four weeks of the English season gone so far, we're already seeing some trends set in with Chelsea topping the league being unbeaten this far, Manchester City setting an interesting tone in their new spending power and with the club not competing in European competition at all it should be interesting in how Mark Hughes can balance the squad and keep everyone happy with rotating.

Having taken a few weeks off to study Arsenal‘s play, I am now back to discuss the latest game and clarify the recent fear that is tingling inside you.

Following the last two trips to Manchester, I have noticed that many of you have commented on Arsenal's failure but on the contrary; both games showed that we were very unfortunate.
