Looks like it kinda work

Well, it looks like there is still some sort of fairy dust left in this world. After completing his treatment in Serbia using the latest craze, placenta treatment, Robin was all smiles after exiting the clinic. Dr. Kovacevic will have her hands full now that there is a whole host of other players who would have made her clinic a very pack one.

Why does everyone in Utah have a big smile this morning? I will tell you why, because (imagine the Urkel happy dance) Real Salt Lake put the hurtin' on the Colorado Rapids with a 3-0 win and the stars aligned when the Red Bulls decided to see just how slackidaisical they could make Toronto FC look.

It's quiet here in hotel Sheraton, too quiet even. Players lurking around greeting each other with almost sentimental smiles, casually mingling on about their October highlights, when a familiar voice steals their wavering attention. Bilic, revealed now as the face behind the voice, glances across the room before ushering the inviting words : "It's time".

It's funny how the Arsenal online community seems sort of divided after yesterday's game. Granted, a 4-0 win is always a comfortable win, but many, including myself are not entirely satisfied. And it makes sense. I mean, when you have Van Persie missing so many chances, Fabregas not really delivering the way he should and Diaby yet again showing how poor he can be, you can't be all smiles.

In a week where you've become the most vilified person in football and on a day where you've been handed two FA charges likely to result in a three match ban, you'd probably feel like moping around training with a glum look on your face and The Smiths on your iPod, but not Emmanuel Adebayor he was all sunshine and smiles during training today.

Greenwood Blue Jays 5
New Covenant Warriors 1
Tuesday's opening game between these familiar foes once again left both coaches counseling patience.

The smiles returned to the faces of the Manchester United players yesterday as the champions ran out five-nil winners over Wigan, it was a victory that was much needed following the midweek embarrassment at Turf Moor.After failing to capitalise on several good goal-scoring opportunities in the previous two games and then squandering three excellent chances in the first-half yesterday the visting Click to continue reading...

As I write I am listening to Jon Stewart's interview with Betsy McCaughey the promulgator of the death panel drivel (although I believe Sarah Palin may actually deserve credit for the term). A dangerous combination there. But watch the interview ... watch the caginess, the pandering to the audience, the lack of substance.

As I was following this afternoon's game, over and over again I kept thinking to myself that there was something missing at the back and in midfield and that we can't always expect Arshavin to bail us out.

Thomas Vermaelen was missing at the back of course but after the departure of Kolo Toure, we simply cannot afford to face a long season with the players we have there.

Well, if there's anything to be said about our transfer business this summer it's been efficient. Certainly when it comes to selling a player to Man City.

No sooner has their been confirmation of interest from the nouveau riche Mancarabs then the deal is practically done. So it was yesterday when Kolo Toure flew back from the Arsenal training camp, underwent a medical, signed a four year deal worth £100,000+ a week and the next moment it's all official - on both clubs websites (City this time actually waited for the deal to be done between the clubs before announcing it).

Kasey Keller was all smiles Saturday night at Qwest Field. The former U.S. international goalkeeper had a relatively easy night at the office in his first game back after returning from a red card suspension dating to the Seattle Sounders' first loss of the season on April 11.

Finally got round to watching the Man Utd v Everton semi final again last night, was nervous watching even knowing the result. Interesting how your impressions are different after the fact.
