Former teammates; Alonso and Gerrard
I really can't wait to read the December installment of FourFourTwo Magazine. In this
issue Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard finally states what we all know: the departure of Xabi
Alonso to Real Madrid has undeniably damaged the Merseyside club.

You've got to give Steve McClaren some credit. The man was a pitiful England manager,
but for a brief moment in time he was able to derail one of the most powerful forces in modern
football: David Beckham.
When Becks stepped down as England's captain after the 2006 World Cup,
McClaren dropped him entirely from the team.

A young Torres in the good old days before incessant groin problems
Liverpool's
star striker Fernando Torres faces 2 months out as he could be in line for a hernia option if the
situation with his problematic groin does not improve.
While Torres will travel to France with the rest of his teammates to face off against Lyon in a
crucial Champions League clash on Wednesday, Rafa Benitez has confirmed that surgery is a very
realistic possibility.

I never thought I'd say it, but this is it the eyebrow of seduction is just too powerful. It
needs to be reigned in and controlled like a military grade weapon. The UN needs to sanction it and
ethics professors need to include discussion of its proper use in their curriculum. This simply
cannot go on.

Frank Lampard has already added fuel to the fire ahead of Manchester United's much anticipated
trip to Stamford Bridge on Sunday. Lampard is certain that his Chelsea side is ready for the
defending Premier League champions, but has warned his teammates that either team can win on the
day.
"I don't think anyone will need to work hard to get up for the United game, we all know it's
coming.

TORONTO - Age appears nothing but a number for the beloved Captain of Pistolas FC Charles Eppich,
as he continues to score goals in limited games, and remains the All-Time Goalscorer.
In fact he scored 2 goals in the finals to bring his 2009 tally to 6 and his all-time tally to
12.
But his absence from the roster during the Toronto Cup - an absence not brought on by availability
- left many teammates and fans wondering about the status of our fearless leader.

Thanks to Dirty Tackle for bringing this to our attention. Watch as Celtic
Captain Stephen McManus sets his teammates a fine example by putting in one of the worst challenges
you will ever see. It's not that the tackle is malicious or indeed particularly violent, its just
so damn matter of factly delivered as if to say "I can't be bothered to chase after you, So I am
just going to chop you down where you stand!

Arsenal 2 (Merida 19, Bendtner 50) Liverpool 1 (Insua 26)
(Carling Cup)
A mix of experience and youth was enough to see off the challenge of Liverpool in an
entertaining game, made all the more fun by the visitor's admirable attacking intent. In the end,
we sneaked home in one of the most enjoyable games I've seen all season.

Joleon Lescott has called on himself and his Manchester City teammates to improve on their
woeful defending. City have conceded eleven goals in their opening nine Premier League fixtures,
and Lescott believes that they can improve on that record. With so many new players in City's back
four, the club aims to complement its profitable attack with a solid defense.

Reports have come out that 4 players at the club have contracted the dreaded swine. However
Megson refuses to reveal who the players in question are. Now of course I'm not worried about them
dropping dead or anything, but the swine flu is still the flu, and can be quite debilitating if you
want to, say, chase up and down after a ball for 90 minutes.

While a Liverpool versus Arsenal match is always an interesting affair, the prospect of seeing
two stars make their Premier League season debuts in the match makes the game all the more

From Saturday's Ukrainian SuperLiga match between Dnipro and league leaders Dynamo Kiev, we have
Dnipro's Pavlo Pashayev sending Milos Ninkovic on a painful trip through the sky with a terrible

argue the ref's decision.

Patrice Evra has told reporters of the pain that him and his United teammates are feeling
following their 2-0 loss to rivals Liverpool. United were defeated by a Fernando Torres goal, and a
late David N'gog goal added salt to United's wounds.
"Normally when United play we create at least five or six clear chances, but we only had the one
when Valencia hit the crossbar.

Gael Clichy has publicly demanded more from his Arsenal teammates following their disappointing

the Hammers in the second half.

Was that Barca out there last night? Because all we saw was a blue and red steamroller which,
engineered by perfection in the form of Seydou Keita, charged onto the pitch full speed ahead and
flattened the quaking opposition. Zaragoza never stood a chance against a Barca side that came out
last night with more hunger than we've probably seen in them this season.

He came. He played magnificent football. He scored awesome goals. He was loved by the fans. He
became the world's best footballer. and then... He left Manchester United. This is the simple story
of Cristiano Ronaldo who moved to Real Madrid this summer and leaving his United teammates who
still miss him.

Ok, so Chelsea scored 5 goals today in a shutout of Blackburn, and Tottenham lost to Stoke
City. Plus, Aston Villa drew with Wolverhampton. I don't get it...
This is the kind of league that should be easy to peg. Honestly. How hard is it for Chelsea
to pick a direction? If they beat Blackburn 5-0 how come they can't beat Aston Villa or Liverpool
(other teams that aren't as good as them)?

In another incredible performance the team extended their unbeaten record to 7 games made up of
5 wins and 2 ties.
What a game! We were tied 0-0 until the 73 minute and were awarded a penalty to go up 1-0. The
opposition came back and tied the game up in the 83rd minute. We won the game in the 88th minute
from a header from a deep free kick into the box.

Robin van Persie has told Arsenal teammates the late equaliser conceded at AZ Alkmaar must be a
wake-up call.
Van Persie admits it is vital Arsenal beat lower-placed sides - starting with West Ham on Sunday -
if they are to stay within sight of leaders Manchester United.
Van Persie, 26, said: "We're very encouraged by some of the other league results because when you
look at last weekend, Liverpool and Chelsea lost.

Antonio Valencia's impact on the team has hardly been spectacular since his £16 million summer
move from Wigan. But what a difference a goal can make. Well, two actually, and in back to back
games to boot.
Goals breed confidence, and if Valencia is short of a little confidence, his latest performances
in a United shirt will go some way to building it up.

I was fortunate to watch Sunset vs Southridge last night and wanted to share some observations from

A) They spread the field. Very rarely do you see two players occupying the same space unless
they are involved in a double-team. When a player has the ball, her teammates create avenues for
her to pass them the ball; i.

Benjamin Franklin once said "The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over
and expecting different results."
If that's true, then the coach and attacking players for Columbus' MLS side are certifiably
insane.
Fellas: No matter how many times you take the ball down the wing to the corner and cross it in
hoping for someone to miracle it into the goal, it ain't gonna happen.

It's just like one of those cheesy sports movies. The team seems unconquerable going into a
huge tournament. They suffer a few losses and realize they are human. Then they band together
and begin to turn it around and play together as a team. But the conflict arises when the star
player goes down with a serious injury leaving him teammates devastated and feeling as if they are
against all odds.

Today you take the field against the defending State Champion, a position you held proudly for 2

emotional war. The time is now for players to put aside their illness, their injuries, their
differences and unite.

second half for a 3-0 victory at Auraria Field in downtown Denver.
