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.

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.

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.

Last night was pretty depressing but loved this quote from Eusebio
Eusebio on Goodison Park: "Sorry, I don't speak good English. But today for me, for my
family, it's a good day, for Benfica to play here. This stadium for me is the best stadium in my
playing life.

Herita Ilunga, with West Ham saving the offense for late in both halves. Mark Noble put them up
from the penalty spot in first-half stoppage time, beating Brad Friedel.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The second Class 1A Girls semifinal of the day saw the Cloquet Lumberjacks (19-3-1) take on The

out of goal and Foss saw her chance.

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.
