We expect James Perch to keep his position in central midfield alongside Danny Guthrie for
today's tough game at White Hart Lane. James Perch will play alongside Danny Guthrie in midfield
And that's because Yohan Cabaye serves the third game of his three match suspension for violent
conduct, and Cheick Tiote will be playing for the Ivory Coast in the final of [.
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain started his third game in a row for Arsenal and was rewarded with a 7-1 win
including his first two Premiership goals for the club, but he says that the points were much more
important than him finding the net. "It was an enjoyable day for everyone," he said. "We knew we
had [.
Dateline 22 January 2012, this date will go down in history, it is the date the fans at the
Emirates turned on Arsene Wenger.
The fans booed the team off at half-time and were rewarded when youngster Nico Yennaris replaced
the hapless and hopeless Djourou who becomes a bigger liability every time he puts on an Arsenal
shirt.

It's interesting that even this morning the focus appears to be on a controversial substitution
when the bigger issue is the fact we've just lost our third league game in a row, taking our total
of defeats in the league this season to eight.
When Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain's number went up in the 74th minute many of the 60,000 at the
stadium made it quite clear what they thought of the decision.
I said on here that I would take a win before the game no matter how well or bad we played in this
one and as I sat on the tube going home I was relieved. Chelsea at times played well but again
found ourselves exposed by in form Sunderland and if the likes of McLean and Bendtner had taken
their chances, it could have been a very different story.
Landon Donovan and Brad Friedel's highly-anticipated match-up is finally here.
The two Americans are both in their respective team's starting lineups, as is Tim Howard, for
Tottenham's home game against Everton (2:45 p.m., Fox Soccer Channel). Donovan will look to help
the Toffees upset the Spurs in his third game back while also attempting to silence one his most
recent critics in Friedel in the process.

FT. LAUDERDALE, Fla. -- Historically, players typically improve with each passing day at the MLS
Combine, and that was certainly the case for Charlotte forward Evan James this year.

So, it feels pretty good to be a Spurs fan at the moment right?! Six points off City with a game in
hand and possibly even more satisfying, six points in front of Arsenal with that same game in hand.
I'm looking forward to the FA Cup this weekend and I'm hoping we will make short work of Cheltenham
even if most of the first eleven are given what would be a well overdue rest.
I would like to start by congratulating Manchester City FC for producing a resounding victory
for football.
By losing to Chelsea last night in the match amusingly referred to by someone on Twitter as "El
Cashico," they have helped demonstrate to the world just how amazing Arsenal's achievement in going
a season unbeaten really was.

This weekend in the Serie A Milan travel to the food capital of Italy, Bologna, to take on Stefano
Pioli's struggling chargers. It has been a busy week for the champions who are playing their third
game on the road. Max Allegri was wise enough to rest a few players midweek for the rubber-tie
against [.
Good news for England fans today as UEFA has reduced Wayne Rooney's three match suspension has
been reduced to two matches after a successful appeal by the FA.
The reduction means that Rooney , 26,will now be available for England's third Group D game,
against Ukraine, but will miss the fixtures against France and Sweden.
England's chances at Euro 2012 have been given a boost after UEFA decided to suspended the third
game of the striker's three match ban following his sending off against Montenegro in October.
It now means that the England striker can play in his country's final group stage game against
Ukraine, though he will definitely miss the first two games against France and Sweden.
Following the International break, we are back in the full swing of club football with Arsenal
playing their third game in a week; what with City on Tues, Wigan on Saturday and Olympiakos the
following Tues, we are busy. Long may it remain thus because it means we are in all
competitions.
Today brings Martin Jol's Fulham to the Emirates.
It is well known history to Baggio fans that he started playing with Vicenza then moved to
Fiorentina where he was very talented. Then, he became the most expensive player in the world in
1990 when Juventus bought him. However, there is a certain week, where it might be his best week at
his young age, that week declared him as the next big thing for Italy.

Liverpool failed to win at Anfield for the third game in a row after a frustrating afternoon
against a hard-working Swansea side.
Star of the show was undoubtedly Swan's goalkeeper Michel Vorm who made a number of super saves,
including a magnificent stop from Glen Johnson late on.
Aggregate scoring are foreign words to U.S. sports fans. Generally speaking, they have no idea what
it means and its existence is one more distance marker between them and Soccer.
A win in the first game has no bearing on the outcome of which team moves forward to the next round
of the playoffs.

The playoff race
Saturday's 1–1 draw in San Jose put Kansas City in first place in the East with 45 points.
With the opportunity to overtake them and gain a one point advantage, the Philadelphia Union were
unable to prevent Juan Pablo Angel's 90th minute header and had to settle for a 1–1 draw and
second place in the standings with 44 points.
The Boston Red Sox completed their choke. In their final game of the year, the Red Sox blew a
ninth inning lead against the Baltimore Orioles. Leading 3-2 heading into the ninth, the Orioles
pulled out a 4-3 victory.
Now the Red Sox play the waiting game. If the Tampa Bay Rays beat the New York Yankees, the Rays
make the playoffs.
Kick of the water bottle show Suarez is a winner
Luis Suarez frustration after being substituted with ten minutes to go against Wolves on
Saturday is just a sign of his winning mentality. Body Language. A term often used to backup
theories of a player's discontent.

Laurie Hughes obituary
England centre-half at the 1950 World Cup The tale of the Liverpool footballer Laurie Hughes,
who has died aged 87, is one of the game's saddest stories. He was plunged into World Cup football
in Brazil in 1950, his debut for England. But during a Charity Shield game a few months later, he
was badly injured, ending his international career.
Resilient is the perfect word to describe the Newcastle side so far this season. Alan Pardew -
pleased with point The Newcastle side was under all kinds of pressure last night, against a good
looking QPR side. But with a little bit of luck, the defense didn't concede a goal for the third
game in four league [.
I was recently looking through the club's results during Kenny Dalglish's first year as Manager of
Liverpool (1985/86), when I noticed a pattern appearing: Many of the results the club has achieved
in Dalglish's second spell at Anfield are identical to those achieved during 1985-86 season.
Jessica Hellweg tallied her fourth and fifth goals of the young season on Sunday as she lead the
Grizzlies to their third victory of the 2011 season as they defeated the Angelo State University
Rambelles 2-1 in double overtime at the Rawlings Soccer Complex on the campus of CSU-Pueblo.
The Grizzlies, who won their second neutral-site game of the season in overtime, were led by
Hellweg who took five shots of the Grizzlies 15 shots.
Klinsmann will spend time in Europe
U.S. head coach Jurgen Klinsmann is taking full advantage of his time in Europe following the match
against Belgium, traveling across the continent to visit current and future U.S. prospects. Here's
the breakdown:
Sept. 7 - Jurgen watched Stuart Holden play 65 minutes for Bolton's reserves against Rochdale in
the Manchester Senior Cup.
On Friday, the US national team will play its first match in Southern California under Jurgen
Klinsmann. It wasn't Klinsmann's idea to play this match here of course but it is a great chance
for the locals to get familiar with their locally-based national team manager.
Klinsmann, who has long resided in nearby Orange County, will trot out a host of new players as the
U.

(Bleacher Report)As the Reds are preparing to face off in their third game of this new EPL season
we are going to run down the most recent news from Anfield up to kickoff and in the evening after
it is all settled.
The Reds face off against a tough Bolton Wanderers squad that is truly a more threatening side than
many give them credit for.
The Colorado College women's soccer team got the better of the statistics line on Friday
afternoon against Utah State, but not in the one count that mattered the most.
The Aggies scored on their only two shots of the game and escaped Stewart Field with a 2-1
victory in a game that started 30 minutes late because of lightning.

DaMarcus Beasley's renaissance continued on Sunday, as he did something for Puebla that he has
not done in an official game in nearly two years: he scored a goal.
Earning his sixth start for the club in as many games, Beasley netted the game-winner in
Puebla's 2-1 triumph versus Pumas UNAM.
Sit back and watch the start of Tottenham's 2011/12 Premier League season on Sky Sports HD.
It all seemed so easy to rectify over the summer. Buy at least one striker, who didn't need
someone alongside him to keep him company and we would instantly be transformed into a
top-four-bound, title-chasing, goal machine.

Vero Boquete scored the only goal in the Philadelphia Independence 1–0 win over Atlanta on
Sunday night. It was her third game winning goal in the last four games, and with it the
Independence secured at least a second place finish in WPS. A season high, 4,000 people were on
hand as Philadelphia welcomed the bottom team in WPS to Widener University
The match was the first at home for the Independence's USWNT players Lori Lindsey, Amy Rodriguez
and Nicole Barnhart since the end of the Women's World Cup.

WASHINGTON - Saturday's friendly between D.C. United and Everton at RFK Stadium wasn't exactly
the match organizers may have envisioned when scheduling it several months ago.
Whether MLS coaches like it or not, another full wave of friendlies packs the weekend schedule,
with games involving European teams taking place in five North American cities.
Four of the games are part of the World Football Challenge, as high-profile teams Manchester
United, Real Madrid and Manchester City continue their tours of America.
Chelsea made a winning start yesterday in Malaysia and looking at Twitter I cannot understand for
the life of me the mentality of some Chelsea fans at the moment. People moaning and complaining
about the performance, about the way we are playing, what we are lacking and all I can say is just
listen to yourselves at the moment.
DC United at FC Dallas: Dallas Heat Shows No Home Field AdvantageThe extreme heat and humidity in Saturday night's contest was extremely evident on the faces of the
players of both teams. FC Dallas was coming off a disappointing effort on the road at Real Salt
Lake that we profiled earlier this week.
U.S. referee Kari Seitz will officiate the Third Place match at the 2011 FIFA Women's World Cup on
Saturday between Sweden and France in Sinsheim, Germany. Assistant Referees Marlene Duffy and
Veronica Perez comprise the other parts of the referee crew, and Seitz will be refereeing her third
game of the 2011 FIFA Women's World Cup.
Alex Morgan tries to keep the ball from Becky Sauerbrunn and Heather MittsNow is the time in the tournament when a fitness and depth really start to impact the Women's World
Cup teams as everyone will be playing their third game in about nine days. The U.S. team did train
in the afternoon on July 3 after arriving in Wolfsburg, with the players who played the most
against Colombia taking a light jog and stretch while the reserves went a bit harder in misty rain.
