I thought Arsenal for sure was not going to make the same mistake again and come out with all guns blazing against the always confused looking Middlesbrough team. By confused I mean Middlesbrough can beat a big team one day, and get beaten by everyone else for the next ten days. Its like their goals for the season are beat one big team and avoid relegation. Anyway with Arsenal they scored but it was pretty obvious they wouldn’t be able to hold on to it. They defended valiantly throughout but it must’ve been bitter they couldn’t stop Toure’s deflected header.

Manchester United had it a little easier but if it weren’t for the misfiring United players, the score would have been another 6-0 demolition. Indeed there were a lot of missed opportunities from Ronaldo, Rooney, Giggs..it didn’t seem like it would their day..but Ronaldo YET AGAIN has won it for United and puts them back on top. (more…)

Manchester United recorded a narrow 1-0 win against Liverpool to keep them out of the top four and keep rivals Manchester City in. It wasn’t the result Rafael Benitez was hoping for after the much hyped meeting with his American bosses. Not the ‘Howdy’ he will be hoping for. There seemed to be a defender blocking every Liverpool effort. The victory was as dramatic as last season’s John O’Shea winner at the end of the match, but Carlos Tevez punished them at the end of the first half. Sir Alex Fergurson opted to protect the one goal lead in the end, bringing on Carrick and John O’Shea. He was certainly a happy man, especially this season after the whole Gabriel Heinze issue before the beginning of the season. Sven Goran Eriksson will be pleased with the result too as Manchester City remain in the top four for atleast a few more days.

Arsenal and Chelsea was a match, all about grit and determination from both teams. (more…)

Now who would have thought…a huge club like Real Madrid dont want to pay up?? Jose Antonio Reyes has been apparently paid only eight months out of ten from his loan period, and now he plans to lodge a complaint against Real Madrid. I have a feeling Real Madrid will have some “we werent supposed to pay his wages, Arsenal were” kind of excuse ready in their pockets.

Anyhow it was a good thing Arsenal got rid off Reyes, he’s form seemed to have been detoriating for them each season and from time to time (more…)
