It’s almost midweek and we have a big match in The EPL brewing between Liverpool and Arsenal. This should be an epic clash between two of the titans of The Premier League.

Much is at stake in this confrontation. Liverpool needs to win this match to keep the pressure on Manchester United.

Manchester United has 71 points in 31 matches. Liverpool has 70 points in 32 matches thus far.

If Liverpool doesn’t get a win, this will definitely tip the balance towards Man U’s favor in the race for The EPL crown.

The Red Devils have a big date on tomorrow Wednesday April 22^nd with Portsmouth.

The media and all the brilliant pundits are raising a stink about Sir Alex Ferguson’s choice to field the second team in The FA Cup semifinal. 

I totally get it. What’s Ferguson supposed to do- KILL HIS PLAYERS for a second tier title? Give me a break. It’s the truth so deal with it. No one really gives a hoot about The FA Cup. It’s not worth a tinkers damn anyway. There I said it. So, shoot me.

Two of the premier futebol clubs in Argentina, River Plate, and Boca Juniors played to a 1-1 tie this past weekend. 

 Boca is sitting in 11^thplace in The Clausura with 12 points in 10 matches. Boca has three wins, three draws, and four losses. This is not good. However, my guess leads me to believe that Boca is putting all their energy into winning the Copa Libertadores. The Clausura is the summer league competition in Argentina.

River Plate seems to playing better after having a horrible winter season where they finished dead last in The Apertura.

River Plate is in third place in The Clausura with 16 points in 10 matches. River has four wins, four ties, and two losses.

River Plate has just about bombed out of the Copa Libertadores competition. River Plate is in third place in Group Three.

River has a big match with Club Nacional on Thursday April 23^rd.

River needs to win. If they don’t they will bomb out of in the group stage.

Not good. 

Oh yeah before I forget a big shout out to a good friend Doctor Luis Palau who is from Buenos Aires, Argentina and a big Boca Juniors fan. He is currently living in the land of the sun Portland, Oregon.
