Man Utd vs Chelsea



So Man Utd destroyed Chelsea this weekend in a really open attacking game. First of all Hernandez must be living proof that dreams can come true. Brought in as a future maybe player hes knocked a 30 Million pound Berbatov to the bench and stole the show on numerous occasions and in big games. Hes score 20 goals in his debut season and at 6 Million hes probably the bargain of the century. As for Torres, again crap, makes me so happy to say that.

Now the game itself was amazing to watch, both teams attacked each other from the start but Man Utd just seemed to want it that little bit more and i think this is the reason why we won. Hernandez's goal early on killed the game for Chelsea. This Man Utd display was as clinical as Ive seen, every player had a job and they did that job amazingly well.

19 League Titles is 1 point away from us and i cant wait to be able to rub it in every Liverpool supporters face...

Bin Laden was an Arsenal Supporter



As you might just have heard, Osama Bin Laden is dead. The demise of the al-Qaeda leader ends a 10-year manhunt during which, bizarrely, he was outed as an Arsenal fan and, horrifically, as the mastermind of a plot to assassinate the England football team. Here we track Bin Laden's football connections.

1) When, shortly after the 9/11 attacks, reports emerged claiming Bin Laden had supported Arsenal during his time living in London in 1993-'94, Gunners officials responded by banning the terrorist leader from their ground. Said a spokeman in November 2001: "We've seen the reports in the papers. Clearly he wouldn't be welcome at Highbury in the future."

2) Bin Laden wasn’t really much of an Arsenal fan, though. According to biographer Adam Robinson, he only attended four matches while in England looking for funds to finance his operations. However, they happened to coincide with the Gunners’ run to the European Cup-Winners’ Cup final and included a 3-0 win against Standard Liege (but he really should have gone away, where Arsenal triumphed 7-0) and a 1-0 semi-final second leg win against Paris St Germain which set up the final against Parma. Other biographers insist he only attended the PSG game, in which Kevin Campbell scored.

3) Bin Laden left London shortly thereafter, ducking extradition to Saudi Arabia. However, he’s said to have been so impressed that he brought back an Ian Wright replica shirt for his son Abdullah. Robinson claims Bin Laden once told a friend he had never experienced such a passionate crowd as at Highbury, leading to questions about whether he actually went there in the first place.

Man Utd vs Arsenal and a Rant Against Chelsea


What a disappointment this weekend as Utd crashed to 1-0 loss against Arsenal at the Emirates. A very below par performance from Utd against a very young Arsenal team who I believe played well above their ability. Arsenal had nothing to loose and no pressure on there young shoulders, resulting in a very fluid display from them. I think Sir Alex was playing for a draw and I think this was the right approach but in the end the gamble didn't pay off. I also think it was a mistake to take Ando off and let Park operate in the middle of the pitch as it was his bad marking that allowed Ramsey to score.

As I've said before Chelsea must be the luckiest team in England as both their goals against Tottenham should have been ruled out, one for offsides (It was hard to judge but shouldn't have stood) and the other was ridiculous, first Gomez let a simple catch slip through his legs and then as he stopped it from rolling over the line the linesman gave the goal from about 15 meter up the pitch and as the law states if the linesman cannot 100% see the ball cross the line, then he cannot give the goal.


So ranting over... hopefully Utd destroy Chelsea at Old Trafford next week. As for Schalke, I think we'll win it easily.
