EPL: Arsenal 2 – 2 Manchester United (Full Time)

Well, first of all a nice goal from Fabregas with the help of Eboue, Adebayor and Sagna. Arsenal returned to the fired up mode in the start of the second half, they played well, but to be honest Almunia was not so confident but he did save us from some nice shots but still shakey performance.

The  second  Manchester United  goal scored by Ronaldo was a result of a really nice Saha pass to Evra and a really bad defending job by Arsenal’s defence line. In the end gallas saved us in an amazing crazy goal.

I expected a 2-1 victory for Arsenal and they could’ve got that result, am not happy withh all arsene wenger’s substitutes I mean if they work with other teams that doesn’t mean it should always work.

Here are the goals:
Rooney Goal
Fabregas Goal
Ronaldo Goal
Gallas Goal

Do you believe that if Robin van Persie was playing that the result could’ve been better?

EPL: Arsenal 0 – 1 Manchester United (Half Time)

Ok, so we all saw that Arsenal was denied a penalty, thats not my problem my problem is that we started all fired up but eventually we just couldn’t keep the ball with us, and couldn’t handle is well enough to keep building up attacks and scoring a goal. Although we saw Gallas had a nice try and some shot here and there. Ofcourse Manchester played well but the goal is clearly a lucky goal its not because Rooney was clever or in control.

Nobody wants to see the goal again ofcourse but, here is the goal anyway, CLICK HERE.

EURO 2008 Exclusively on Aljazeera Sport Channels

 I moved to www.ibrahimo.com, to read this post in the new blog please CLICK HERE.

Aljazeera Sport channels announced today that they have won the exclusive coverage of EURO 2008 on their channels in the middle east. And that there is no way they will be selling those rights to any other networks in the region, and they promised their subscribers a very high quality coverage.

Euro 2008 will take place in Austria and Switzerland from the 7th to the 29th June 2008.

The Channel also announced that “Aljazeera Sport +3″ will start on January 2008 which will be mostly used for Clubs Channels such as Chelsea TV and Manchester City TV and so on. The channels will also increase their transmission hours from 50 to 75 hours daily, so “JSC1″ will be 24 hours and “JSC2″ 12 hours, and “JSC+1″ 24 hours and “JSC+2″ 12 hours.

So all good news…. maybe now we will forgive them the headaches they gave us in the Spanish league and losing a part of the Italian league to ART.

EPL: Liverpool 1-1 Arsenal

This wasn’t an easy match, not only for the players but for the fans too, i think i was on the verge of having a mixture of heart attacks and strokes all at the same time. I was on edge and just waiting for a freakin goal, we lost  lots of shots bouncing back off the sticks. Arsene Wenger seemed nervous from the start, after watching Arsenal matches for years now i have this sixth sense when i just look to his face i know if he is worried or really worried or he is realllllllllly worried. Oh he is never at ease he is always worried but there are stages. Anyway after thrashing Prague the other day 7-0 everybody was waiting for the massacre that was going to happen today, everybody wondering will it be 2-0 or 4-0 for Arsenal. Ofcourse some of the fans knew this wasn’t gonna be easy specially after Liverpool ended being the bottom of their group in the champions league. They wanted a win to regain confidence, but really Arsene Wenger’s substitutes where weird and amazing.

More to come later…

Robin van Persie said it best. “You cannot link footballing quality with age”

 I moved to www.ibrahimo.com, to read this post in the new blog please CLICK HERE.

I am happy with what he said and he is 100% right, no doubt, but I wish we show it on the pitch in the next 2 matches, liverpool is bleeding and they are looking for a win, especially after their last performance in the champions league, they are in the bottom of the table there, so they will do anything to WIN.

Anyway here is what Robin van Persie said yesterday to the Daily Mail Sports section: “You cannot link footballing quality with age. A lot of teams were afraid of the big signings that Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester United made but that doesn’t interest me one bit – how much these guys earn in a week is totally uninteresting.”

“Our players don’t drive in the most luxurious cars but, when it comes to our football, we’re technically tremendously good.”

“Most analysis bases quality on status but we have a good young team without status or years of experience.”

CL: Arsenal 7 – 0 Slavia Prague (Hell Ya…)

A lesson to be taught to each player in every football academy in the world, this is as fine as it gets, amazing, TRUE team power. I was so afraid yesterday and expected a 1-0 scoreline, but oh Arsenal proved me and everybody wrong. Unbelievable beautiful fantastic game.

Fabregas, Hleb, Theo Walcott, Bendtner….. Great Goals…..

What we should think about now is the next 2 big games, Liverpool and Manchester Unite, although after todays game we should be less worried but still a huge difference between those teams…

Anyway here are the goals ….

CL: Arsenal Vs. Slavia Prague (Quick Preview)

 Arsenal will be playing tonight their 3rd match in Champions League Group H, they have already won their first 2 matches so they have a solid 6 points, they will be facing SK Slavia Prague who are in 3rd place with 3 points.

I don’t believe that this game will be as easy as we expect, especially after seeing how Arsenal played against Bolton this week, yes we won but after we struggled though-out most of the match. Anyway I guess Slavia Prague will be so happy if they escaped with a 0-0 scoreline.

The Player i will be watching is Eduardo, let him show us he is worth playing for arsenal, in my book he still didn’t do it, I guess any Arsenal fan is not really that much happy with his game. But here is a chance to show his ability.

I expect a scoreline of 1-0, yes I don’t expect that we will thrash Slavia Prague they are not really that easy team, they are the top in their league table.

EPL: Arsenal 2 – 0 Bolton

As expected Arsenal played well, although I still feel we need Robin Van Persie to get well very soon, because in the next fixtures we need him badly.

Here are the 2 goals scored by Toure and Rosicky.

EPL: Arsenal Vs. Bolton (Quick Preview)

 Well the match will be after around an hour and fifteen minutes that 2:00PM GMT, Bolton will be the guests in the Emirates Stadium today, and this is the expected formation:

Almunia, Clichy, Toure, Gallas, Sagna, Eboue, Fabregas, Rosicky, Hleb, Eduardo, Adebayor, Flamini, Walcott, Bendtender, Denilson, Song, Diaby, Fabianski.

Although Van Persie is out for a month, some new news says it might be even more serious. Although people still say that Eduardo will be a good cover i still don’t think so.

I guess the only problem that Arsenal might face from Bolton is their goalkeeper Jussi Jaaskelainen, he has been a great goalkeeper especially in matches against arsenal. I believe this is one of the most important matches for arsenal this season, you might say Bolton is even manager-less and they are having problems and they havent been doing that great and anelka might not play because of a thigh injury but, lets see this, in the last few seasons bolton was always playing greatly in matches against arsenal especially while allardyce was their manager.

Anyway i still expect Arsenal to win at least 2-0 or maybe 3-1.

Good Luck to Arsenal.
