CaughtOffside contributor considers the ramifications of Fabio Capello considering selecting
players born outside the British Isles.
So Fabio Capello's considering selecting some bloke called Aaron Hunt for the England squad. To
me, he sounds like a Division One workhorse who's kicking lumps out of people at Colchester.

goles en diferentes frentes y resultados que favorecieron a equipos grandes.

victoria ante el Barcelona.

When Robin Van Persie scored Arsenal's third in the North London derby against Spurs, it
prompted me to draw comparisons with the Real Madrid legend Raul. He has scored seven goals in the
league and been given the role of the top of the Gunners attack. He has previously been compared to
Dennis Bergkamp who was a genius at linking up attacks with the rest of his teammates.

El Barça empata en Mestalla y el Madrid gana al Valladolid y se reduce a 1 puntito la distancia
entre ambos. El Atlético sigue cayendo en picado aunque no más que el Villarreal de Ernesto
Valverde, que aún no ha ganado ningún partido.
La liga se aprieta un poco más tras esta jornada. No pude ver el partido del Barça, pero lo
estuve siguiendo como si lo viera por tv, thanks Javi!

Si yo fuera hincha de Estudiantes me estarÃa dando la cabeza contra una pared, preguntándome
cómo es posible que mi equipo no haya ganado este partido, si dominó a un rival que parecÃa
haber salido para cumplir, que no tenÃa juego ni voluntad y estaba entregado hasta los 20 del
segundo tiempo.

Good times lay ahead, we know that anyway. But.... Good times could be 99% assured thisÂ
season should we sign two players this January. I know it is a while off January at this time
but I'm sure Wenger is already looking ahead so shy shouldn't we. I'm not gonna mention the papers
because as soon as the window shuts they are looking for the next window moves, but anyway.

Hello people, hopefully you will have a good Bank Holiday Monday and spend it wisely.
Not that much on transfer gossip this morning apart from what was said yesterday about Chamakh
and Viera. One small bit about Blaise Matuidi and how St Etienne want £8 million and how Wenger
will not pay that, but that's a very small story in the general scheme of things.

Tijuana perdió el invicto de casi veinte partidos ante los correcaminos, nadie esta exento de
perder ni una derrota es el fin del mundo, pero la forma provoca que se prendan los focos rojos
para los Xolos.
Comentaba en el post de la jornada uno que el equipo me gustaba y que solo le faltaba ese
"timing" con el que termino el torneo pasado y que esperaba que para este partido el equipo ya se
viera mucho mejor, pero llego el plazo y el equipo se llevo una dolorosa derrota.

Well the 1st weekend of the Premiership has come and gone and while many may think that you can
begin to get some insight into how things are going to turn out this season, I'm here to inform you
that you are very mistaken. Its only 1 game of 38 and there is still a very long way to go. So
Everton fans cheer up, you may be at the bottom of the table for now, but it doesn't mean that it
has to last long (especially if David Moyes is allowed to spend some money).

Various things to discuss this morning and I'm gonna start with the marmite like story of Eboue;
You either want him to go or want him to stay, theres nothing else to it. Well the latter has won
because it appears he will be staying at Arsenal.
Fiorentina announced last week that the deadline for the deal to complete was Wednesday, and
they also said Arsenal had to lower their asking price of £9 million, in my opinion understandably
so.

The Sun and a variety of other newspapers this morning are reporting a huge story for many
Arsenal fans. Arsene Wenger has apparently matches spurs offer to the 33 year old; A one year
contract with many bonuses although he shall have to take a pay cut from £80,000 a week to a much
lower salary.
Wenger needs to bring in experienced players after Toure departed and we lost so many two
seasons back but he believes Patrick Viera could do a great job for us.

First of all I would like to say why I am writing this article, I am writing this article
because of some of the appalling ones I have read with mediocre views, and I feel that there needed
to be a decent knowledgeable article, and I know the Arsene Wenger subject is hot among fans.

Tuvieron que pasar 33 años para que Brasil volviera a ganar un partido en terreno uruguayo. Lo
hizo esta tarde, en el Centenario de Montevideo, pasando por encima de un rival inocente, cuya
lÃnea defensiva concedió demasiados regalos a los atacantes de la verdeamarela. Si bien
el resultado final de 0-4 no refleja lo sucedido en el terreno de juego, la goleada brasileña nos
muestra que este equipo miedoso y conservador construÃdo por Dunga mantiene la misma pegada y
contundencia de antaño.

Juan and Kaká on target for Brazil
Brazil ended 33 years without a win against Uruguay in Montevideo with a thumping 4-0 victory on
Saturday. Daniel Alves, Juan, LuÃs Fabiano and Kaká were all on the score sheet in a result that
left Brazil temporarily top of the table. Once again, it wasn't a great performance from Brazil and
Dunga's men had to thank their brilliant keeper, Júlio César, for stopping everything Uruguay
threw at him.

(Arsenal-Villareal 1-0. Strepitoso pallonetto di Walcott che si mostra lucidissimo a pochi passi
dal portiere avversario)
(Arsenal-Villareal 2-0. Ancora in rete Adebayor, come nel match di andata. Il togolese chiude il
match con uno stop e tiro di destro di gran classe)
(Arsenal-Villareal 3-0, Van Persie su calcio di rigore decreta il trionfo dei Gunners)
ARSENAL (4-4-2): Fabianski; Eboué, Touré, Silvestre, Gibbs; Walcott (31'st Denilson), Fabregas,
Song, Nasri; Adebayor (37'st Bendtner), van Persie (31'st Diaby).

Bhoys benefit from keeper karma After Artur Boruc's nightmare against Hibs at the weekend, Celtic
proved that what goes around come around. The Glasgow club benefited from some very generous
goalkeeping by Villarreal's Viera, who kindly gave an underhit cross the near-post flick-on it
needed to reach Shaun Maloney.

Well Jose Mourinho finally got his man with the signing of Ricardo Quaresma from Porto. This is a
great move for Inter Milan as they needed some younger players to add to their aging squad, and it
also give Mourinho a chance to put his own stamp on the squad. I was beginning to wonder when Inter
were going to make a really big move.

So Lassana Diarra is the next leader of France and is a favorite of Raymond Domenech, yet he
couldn't get into a game for France during Euro 2008. I have a lot of respect for Lillian Thuram,
he was one of the best defenders that I've seen play the game. I also rate Diarra very highly, but
something doesn't quite make sense here.

After initially suggesting that Inter would not be spending much in January for transfers, Moratti
and Mancini have been forced to look at some options, possibly in midfield and definitely in
defense. Inter confirmed that Samuel has damaged the ACL in his left knee and will probably be out
for the rest of the season.

The other big match up this weekend (apart from Arsenal vs Manchester United) is the battle between
Inter and Juventus! Although Roma is sitting in second spot, one place above Juventus, they are
only one point behind. The Inter-Juve games have always been fierce and highly anticipated affairs
and this is an especially important match. [...]

Inter had to fight back from being one goal behind to seal a win in Moscow, 2-1. Inter had a
difficult first half, struggling through injuries and suspensions, not to mention Viera breaking
down again after just 17 minutes. The frailties were clearly evident and CSKA's Jo did not hesitate
to point this out be scoring [...]
