Arsenal will face Liverpool at the Emirates with "no big" injury worries although Croatian striker Eduardo will miss his third game in a row after failing to recover in time for the game. The 26-year old ... Click to continue reading...

It's time for Spurs to prove that they have that 'bouncebackability' that Iain Dowie once went on about and get back to winning ways. That way, we might even have a chance of winning a bet on them.

The punters at Betfair have Spurs at 3/10, with the draw 9/2 and Leeds at 17/2.

The second day of the MLS Combine is complete, and as expected, there were much better performances from a team and individual standpoint.

The weather conditions improved in Ft. Lauderdale and so did the level of play, with some of Day One's top performers continuing to impress.

Yesterday's was the third game of the season where Liverpool lost 1-2 after leading 1-0.
How easily this team has gifted the opposition wins or draws after scoring first is beyond infuriating. Liverpool's lost the lead after going 1-0 up in a quarter of the games so far this season. That is not how Benitez teams play. Click to continue reading...

Despite having an (almost) fully-fit squad to choose from, Liverpool dropped yet another two points amid a further lack of creativity, and more mind-numbingly frustrating decisions from Rafa Benitez.
The GOOD
A fairly Positive line-up from Benitez
Well, aside from the excruciatingly anti-football partnership of Lucas/Masch, the line-up was pretty good. Click to continue reading...

After another thumping win, in which we scored four times and went second, it's been interesting to read some of the reaction in the press.

There's no doubt that some of the sceptics have started to take note. We're now thirteen matches unbeaten, and in those 13 games have scored 37 goals. There's even talk that we might break the 100-goal barrier, though surely that's a) absurdly premature and b) asking for a tumble.

This season was certainly a tale of two halves for FC Dallas. Things got off to the rockiest of starts that saw fans across North Texas grew more upset with the way things were being run in Frisco while the end of the year sure seemed to show things could actually be headed into the right direction for 2010.

Reports today suggest that both Nemanja Vidic and Rio Ferdinand are both doubtful for Saturday's match at home to Blackburn Rovers, presumably meaning we will have to rely on Jonny Evans and Wes Brown to play in the centre of our defence.

Both Vidic and Rio have been criticised for their recent form, particularly in light of the Liverpool game, when Rio was out-muscled and out-run by Fernando Torres, and Vidic was sent off for his third game in the row.

Bath City beat Weymouth 2-0 Tuesday night. Weymouth is the sick man of the Blue Square South this season. City fans would have been hoping for a more emphatic victory. Last Spring, however, City lost 0-1 to the last season's sick man of the Blue Square South, Fisher Athletic. This occurred at a key moment in the season and may have cost City a playoff spot.

With the biggest game probably being at the Artemio Franchi between Fiorentina and Napoli, Serie A did not present too much interest this weekend. However Sampdoria were hoping that Inter would drop points to jump above them to the top the table. Juventus needed a change in fortunes after not winning in four while AC Milan wanted to continue their two game winning streak against Chievo.

TORONTO - Pistolas FC are holding their heads high after a highly competitive tournament run in the Toronto Cup on the weekend.

Chivas USA (playing its third game in nine days) and the Houston Dynamo (eliminated from the CONCACAF Champions League Wednesday) stagger to the MLS finish line at noon at Home Depot Center with playoff seedings and pairings on the line for themselves and virtually every other club in MLS it seems.

Rafa Benitez has urged his hurting squad to show strength in adversity and turn their season around in the "perfect game".
Liverpool are currently embroiled in their worst run of form for 22 years but Benitez has remained in a bullish mood ahead of tomorrow's Anfield test against Manchester United. Click to continue reading...

For all their attacking talents, City have actually scored fewer goals (16) in their first eight games than at this stage of last season (20).

Again? They did it again? Snatching a tie from the jaws of victory seems to be the perpetual TFC result of choice. It makes me want to swear and spit. I did not sign up for this style of suffering. Give me glory or the promise of it on the horizon. This folding like a cheap suit has to go.

Manchester United defender John O'Shea has not ruled Liverpool out of the title race despite losing their third game of the season at Chelsea on Sunday.
The Reds fell to a 2-0 defeat at Stamford Bridge leaving Rafa Benitez's side collecting more reverses from their first eight Premier League games than their entire 2008/2009 campaign. Click to continue reading...

First off, the highlights:

AEKMAN74 posted a review earlier on this match which covered most of the main points so be sure to check that out as well. I'd just like to add a few things.

We lined up with Saja as keeper, Araujo, Arce, Majstorovic, and Georgeas (who played left back) playing defence, Hersi, Geurreiro, Jahic, and Manduca playing Midfield, with Scocco and Blanco playing attack.

And those words are: That's what I'm talking about!

Last week I was all about "No More Ties!", not because i have a vendetta against neckwear (and a penchant for lame puns), but because winning teams know how to scratch out wins from adverse conditions at crunch time. The frustrating game in DC was the catalyst, though it was the third game in a week played in the aftermath of a hurricane at the end of August in DC's home stadium.

. A dismal draw was witnessed at Ewood Park between Blackburn and West Ham United as none of the teams scored. Blackburn substitute David Hoilett had two chances but was stopped in his tracks by the keeper. This match was very important for the Rovers who have lost all their previous encounters this season.
