Hughes on the Burnley point

Bitter and Blue 07 November @ 05:43 PM EST
Some common themes developing in the post-match interview - concentration and the lack of ability to close games out in particular:
"First half we never really imposed ourselves as I know we can and conceded two poor goals. But then we picked ourselves up and showed some of the qualities I expected from the start.

AEK 2-2 BATE

AEK Archives 06 November @ 05:06 PM EST

So, one point from a game where it won't really do much to help us. In reality though, we could have come away with all three points had we managed to score one more of our chances, or had Saja not made a terrible mistake that the goalkeeper on my own amateur team would likely avoid.

Well, AEKBaltimore will watch the match on TV soon, since I believe he recorded it, and I'm not sure if AEKMAN74 watched as well.

Everton unable to take revenge on Benfica

EPL Talk 06 November @ 07:55 AM EST

This season has not started the best for Everton, so far they have been unable to recapture the form they showed last season in the league and sit a lowly 13th. Couple this with two heavy defeats and the hands of Benfica in the Europa league and things aren't looking so rosy for David Moyes and his men.

Good Game Bad Game [vs Lyon]

A Liverpool Thing 05 November @ 08:00 AM EST
A kick in the stomach. There's no better way to describe a game where, with a squad decimated by injuries, Liverpool went to Lyon and totally dominated. With better finishing, the contest should have been over by half time and when Ryan Babel scored, it looked as if Liverpool were going to get a much merited win. Click to continue reading...

Arsenal 4-1 AZ Alkmaar : More goals at the Grove ...

Arseblog 05 November @ 03:14 AM EST

Some nights Arsenal just click and it's beautiful to watch. After about five minutes we put together a flowing, pacey, one-touch move which ended up with a Robin van Persie shot flying just wide of the AZ goal. After that you knew Arsenal were in the mood.

We opened the scoring through Cesc Fabregas whose low shot scuttered between a defender's legs and practically trickled across the line.

Another wash-out affair as Lions easily overcome a tame Garuda...

BoLASEPaKO - a simple view on Singapore Soccer 04 November @ 10:05 AM EST
Hassan Sunny was the first player to come out for his warming up
The Lions kept their composure well in the first half (save for that slip when they allowed the Indonesians to level shortly after they took the lead in the 10th minute) to restrict their guests from prowling deep into their half to maintain their 2-1 lead. Click to continue reading...

The Wednesday Wonder: Aruna Dindane

Premiership Talk Blog 04 November @ 08:00 AM EST

Is there hope for Pompey? Maybe if you're an eternal optimist. I just like to think of it as something that Portsmouth fans can reminisce about next season when they are taking the Coca Cola Championship by storm. That is just where the state of Pompey football is at the moment. One 4-0 victory is not going to suddenly turn things around for the better, but for that to happen, Piquionne and Dindane are going to have to put in these types of performances week in and week out.

Wayzata 2-1 Woodbury

The Wayzata Trojans are now nine straight games undefeated and against some pretty good opponents. Not bad for a team with a 12-6-4 record. Meaning almost all their wins have come at the most important time, the end of the season.

The Trojans struck first 15 minutes into the second half.

Newcastle United Go Top of the Championship

A Newcastle United Blog | Howay the Toon 02 November @ 10:18 PM EST

There aren't many things worse than what's happened to our club over the past week or so, and I was hoping that it wouldn't have too much of an impact on the NUFC players. Fortunately (and rather fortuitously), they battled to a hard fought victory over Sheffield United.

The Blades made the Newcastle players work hard for this victory, which on another day, could so easily have gone against us.

The first ten games

Bitter and Blue 02 November @ 05:30 PM EST
Given the talk of how we have cooled off in recent weeks after such a torrid start to the season, I thought it worth taking a look at just how our start this season - still considered to be exceeding pre-season expectation - compared with those in previous years.

United 2 – Blackburn 0 : The Obertan Era Begins… with a scuffed shot wide…

The Offside: Manchester United 02 November @ 11:07 AM EST

So another decent performance sees United secure all three points at Old Trafford. Overall, I was pleased with the result, but still found a few things troubling. The inability of our three main strikers to score consistently when given the opportunity is slightly worrying, but Obertan's EPL debut coupled with Berba's world class finish left me as happy as could be.
