This break will give my team Arsenal time to heal some of the walking wounded before we get back into action next week. Man U will get a chance to heal some of their hurting guys as well too. Thank God for small favors.
The Gunners have two hot dates next week. The first is on Wednesday February 17th. We have a classic encounter with FC Porto in the knockout stage of the Champions League. The first leg will take place at Porto’s house in Estadio do Dragao.
Man U battles AC Milan in one of those titanic epic battles on Tuesday February 16th at Milan’s house in Giuseppe Meazza. You can bet both sides will throw the kitchen sink at each other.
In Brasil the semi finals of Carioca Guanabara takes on Saturday and Ash Wednesday. Saturday we find Fluminense batting Vasco. On Ash Wednesday, Flamengo has a hot date with Botafogo. This should be an all out war between Rubro-Negro and Botafogo. Us Flamenguistas will be in full throat.
Adriano and the guys need to step it up a notch and kick some major butt. We need to strike early and often. The Emperor, Vagner Love, and Petkovic need to rip the twines.
Chelsea has a hot fifth round date with Cardiff on Saturday. The Blues will be missing some key players. John Terry was given time off to try and fix his marriage. Good luck bucko after being caught with your drawers down with another woman. Play nice Bobby. I know but I can’t help myself. John Terry comes from the womanizer school of Tiger Woods, Joe Namath, John Kennedy, and Wilt Chamberlain. Compared to those guys John Terry is a piker. He needs more practice.
Ashley Cole will miss the Cardiff match due to the fractured ankle he sustained in the Everton match. Keeper Petre Cech and striker Nicolas Anelka will not make the trip either.
The Blues head man Carlo Ancelotti emphatically insists he is taking FA Cup seriously.
We will see.
Man City battles Stoke City, Southampton-Portsmouth, Reading- West Brom, and Derby-Birmingham are the other FA Cup match ups on Saturday.
On Sunday Tottenham-Bolton, Crystal Palace-Aston Villa, and Fulham-Notts County will duke it out.

Hey Man, liked the new lay-out…
Btw, Flamengo’s game is on ash Wednesday, not Sunday. Sunday is Carnaval…
I forgot. My wife and I are Christians and it never crossed my mind. Being a born again Jew all I think about is God, my wife, country, and futebol. Still it will be a blood bath. Thanks for the FYI. Thanks for reading. I will correct now.
