QUOTE (Tennie @ Feb 8 2009, 03:57 PM)  Didn't watch the game but it sounds as if Modric is finally playing decently (or, well, not sucking totally). Fishdoll rather likes Modric. First half he was excellent, second half he was rubbish and missed a golden chance to win it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) |

West Ham 0-1 United
Giggs scored a superb goal, becoming the first player to score in every Premier League season. |

Wenger moaning as usual today, this week about how Eboue's goal should have stood and that referees are always against Arsenal. Quite funny that, considering all that stupid decisions they get their way.
In other somewhat Arsenal related news, Tony Adams has been sacked as manager of Portsmouth. He's not a good manager but I feel sorry or him, he was left to clear up the mess that Harry Redknapp made. Redknapp is a manager who only is interested if he has money to spend (West Ham, Southampton, Portsmouth) and then leaves them when they're struggling for money and not doing well in the league.. what a guy. |

(from BBC)
QUOTE Manager Scolari sacked by Chelsea
Luiz Felipe Scolari has been sacked as manager of Chelsea. A statement on the club's website revealed the move had been made "to maintain a challenge for the trophies we are still competing for". Scolari, who led Brazil to the 2002 World Cup, was appointed in June 2008 as the replacement for Avram Grant. Chelsea, fourth in the Premier League and seven points behind Manchester United, will be led by assistant Ray Wilkins on an interim basis. |

Chelsea made the mistake of appointing him in the first place, what on earth made them do that? Their next mistake was leaving it until now to sack him, they've been very, very poor this season.

Picking up Mancini would then only solid their way down...

As long as he keeps his filthy Russian hands away from MON!
Luke Young has been forced to pull out of the England squad due to a foot injury. That's a shame, he's one of the most in form defenders in the country. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) |

I really hope Aston Villa keeps it up so Arsenal and and Chelsea will have to fight each other for the last CL spot! it'd be nice; and even nicer if Chelsea was the team that went to the UEFA Cup (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy.gif) [personal opinion]

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I'm not sure we'll do it though. In fact, I'm not even certain we'll finish in the top, we have too many tough games coming up. Next 10 games: A Everton (FA Cup) H CSKA Moscow (UEFA Cup) H Chelsea A CSKA Moscow (UEFA Cup) H Stoke City A Man City H Spurs A Liverpool A United H Everton There's also a possibility of 3 more games in that period (FA Cup QF if we beat Everton and 2 games vs the winner of Spurs/Shakhtar if we beat Moscow). In my opinion there is no real easy game there in the league either. Everton, Liverpool, Chelsea and United are always going to be tough, regardless of form. Man City and Spurs are teams that, on their day, can beat anyone! Stoke at home I would say s easy.. but it's a local derby and that makes it more difficult as their players will really be up for it. However, if we make it out of that spell still in the top 4, I believe we will do it. If I were to pick a team to miss out on 4th, I dunno who it'd be. It would be nice to see a team with all of Chelseas money fail, but I like the club and it has plenty of players that I like. Arsenal go about their transfer in the right way (generally) and don't just throw money around.. but their lack of English players and their manager mean it would be nice to see them miss out. Either way will do I suppose! /rant. This post has been edited by kurtsimonw: Feb 9 2009, 07:51 PM |

But Chelsea and Arsenal are going to have some tough games, and they are in suckastic form, too, right?
I just hope Villa makes it, that's all (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |
