Way to dodge a huge bullet guys. Mengao stunk the joint out in a 2-1 loss to Cruzeiro at Volta Redondo. It sure looked like we were in danger of getting the heave-hoe. Not this year. Flamengo is safe for now.

UOL put it this way- Na luta para manter as chances de chegar ao título do Campeonato Brasileiro, o Cruzeiro passou sufoco contra o Flamengo, mas conseguiu vencer o confronto válido pela penúltima rodada do Brasileirão. Depois de sair atrás no início do primeiro tempo, a equipe mineira conseguiu a virada e venceu por 2 a 1, em Volta Redonda. Apesar do revés, o time rubro-negro não tem mais como cair para a Série B.

Many changes are needed from top to bottom if we are to stay in the Campeonato.

A total house cleaning is a must.

I have a huge suggestion.

Fire Patricia Amorim.

Then get a real director of player operations.

This cat needs to have a keen eye for talent.

Please bring back Vagner love.

With the loss of Adriano and Vagner Love Rubro-Negro began its downhill side to almost you’re outta here.

Whew, this was close.

Too close for comfort guys.

UOL is saying that Mengao is setting up meetings to look at the total futebol operation. They will fire people left and right.

Com a permanência na elite do futebol brasileiro garantida para a próxima temporada, o departamento de futebol do Flamengo já planeja a reestruturação do clube. Com uma campanha aquém da esperada para este ano, os dirigentes estão convictos de que mudanças são necessárias e urgentes.

Para isto, a diretoria tem uma série de reuniões marcadas esta semana para discutir dispensas, contratações, e novas diretrizes para 2011. O jogo contra o Santos, domingo, às 17h, na Vila Belmiro, já pode ser considerado até em segundo plano no momento.

Sure. Mengao started out like a house on fire against Cruzeiro.

Diogo forces the TO baby. He splits the D and Diogo slices a pass to a naked Diego Mauricio. Mauricio flat out beats the keeper in the 9^th minute to give Mengao a 1-0 lead.

From there, it went down hill.

Raposa is still the hunt for the top spot.

Cruzeiro didn’t give up and scored two goals to give us another defeat.

This is sucks big time.

Raposa is in third place with 66 points.

Com o triunfo, o Cruzeiro chegou a 66 pontos e viu sua distância para a liderança permanecer em dois pontos. Líder, o Fluminense venceu o Palmeiras por 2 a 1, de virada, e agora soma 68 pontos. Já o segundo colocado Corinthians, que venceu o Vasco por 2 a 0, tem 67 pontos e larga vantagem sobre os mineiros no saldo de gols, 24 a 13.

Flu is in the pole position with 68 points.

Corinthians is in second place 67 points.

All Fluminense has to do is win their final match and the Campeonato is Po-de Arroz.

I am happy we are not getting thrown out but I am mad as hell at the idiots who took a championship club and ruined it in a matter of a year.

Thank you Patricia Amorim.

You are a total idiot genius.

I am NOT A HAPPY FLAMENGUISTA.

We have some real huge match ups this weekend in the EPL. My guys from Arsenal have a hot date with Tottenham at our house Emirates on Saturday.

This baby is a head knocker.

Spurs and the Gunners need to win.

If not then my guys from Arsenal will be looking down the long end of a rifle barrel.

Arsenal is two points behind league leaders Chelsea.

Chelsea has 28 points.

 The Gunners have 26 bad boys

Spurs are hanging around in 7^th place with 19 points.

Tottenham won for the first time in four matches last weekend.

The Gunners are coming off a huge 2-1 away win over Everton.

We always struggle on the road but this year Arsenal is making a ton of headway.

The Gunners have four wins, two draws, and one loss on the road.

This is the best road record in the EPL.

Arsenal is now road warriors.

Championships are won on the road.

Trust me on this.

IR report looks like this- taken from www.arsenal.com

Jack Wilshere has a fitness test on Friday that will determine his involvement in the North London derby at the weekend.

Medical staff at Arsenal will check Wilshere, along with Andrey Arshavin and Tomas Rosicky, in the next 24 hours. The latter pair are expected to be fit after international duty but, when Arsène Wenger spoke to TV Online on Thursday lunchtime, they had not yet returned to the Training Ground.

Robin van Persie’s recovery from an ankle problem was helped by 45 minutes for Holland and the manager is predicting no further bad news as the players come back from their countries

However Manuel Almunia (elbow), Thomas Vermaelen (Achilles) and Abou Diaby (ankle) are still out. The Spanish keeper is closest to a return. He is expected to be fully fit next week.

Arsene Wenger had this to say about the IR report- quotes from www.arsenal.com.   “We have players coming back from the internationals,” said Wenger. “Some played shorter and some more longer. We have to assess all that tomorrow morning.
 “Jack has a test. He has a little strain of a little muscle in the back and is not in full training at the moment. We will know more on Friday about whether he is available for Saturday.
 “We have to assess Arshavin, who has still to come back. Rosicky is coming in later too. He had a tight hamstring but should be OK.
 “Van Persie had 45 minutes, which was agreed. He needed that. We had someone at the game and he looked quite sharp.”
 Wenger was asked which of the three remaining injured players would be back first.
 “Almunia,” he answered. “He is back in full training. He needs a few more days because he has been out for a long time. But he should be available for next week.”

Lets roll the dice and get ready for some futebol.

Jeez, guys give up the early goal. Play like garbage and then score in the 80^th minute to salvage a one all tie with archrival Vasco.

Lets play to see how close we can get to getting the heave-hoe.

This insanity was at its heights for Flamengo in the 26^th minute.

Maldonado turned the ball over. Wham bam Vasco took off down the other end of the pitch. Ze-Roberto led the charge down the left flank. He fired a great centering ball into the teeth of the Rubro-Negro goalmouth. Keeper Marcelo Lomba makes a challenge on the shot. The ball is just out of the reach of Lomba. Defender Welinton kicks the ball to Cesinha deposits the gift into the back of the net for 1-0 Gigante de Colina lead.

Globo Esporte put tis way-Aos 26 minutos, Maldonado errou a saída de bola. O Vasco a roubou. Nunes, escolhido para começar no lugar de Fellipe Bastos, com virose, tocou para Zé Roberto, esse sim, recuado como meia para ajudar Felipe na armação. O camisa 10 arrancou pela direita e centrou para a área. Welinton, que vinha na corrida, chegou tentando cortar a bola e a mandou em cima de Juan. A bola foi contra o próprio gol, no travessão, e voltou na medida para Cesinha tocar para as redes: Vasco 1 a 0.

The Keystone Cops are alive and well playing for Flamengo.

To make matters worse Dede was given the heave-hoe in the second half.

Now we are deep in the hole.

Way to go garoto.

This was a brilliant display of futebol.

Don’t worry. Renato Abreu dialed up a long-range header missile in the 80^th minute to rescue the tie.

Mengao almost pulled out the win the 90^th minute. Diego Mauricio missed the back of the net by that much.

Vasco coach went bananas and was tossed out. O técnico vascaíno perdeu a cabeça e acabou expulso pela terceira vez na competição. Diego Maurício quase fez o gol da vitória no fim – Fernando Prass salvou e se contundiu, quase sendo substituído. O empate era mais merecido num clássico em que não houve superioridade gritante de nenhuma das equipes.

A tie is a tie.

Mengao is still in the danger zone.

We need wins not ties garoto.

Rubro-Negro is in 13^th place with 38 points.

Vasco is in 12^th place with 42 points.

Globo Esporte had this to say about Mengao’s stupid play.

Na primeira vez em que Vasco e Flamengo disputaram o Clássico dos Milhões no Engenhão,  neste domingo, não houve vitória. A equipe vascaína, superior no primeiro tempo, fez 1 a 0, com Cesinha, mas não soube manter a vantagem na segunda etapa, principalmente após a expulsão do zagueiro Dedé, aos 19 minutos, punido pela dura dividida com Willians. Renato empatou de cabeça para os rubro-negros, e os dois times seguem no Brasileirão sem mudar a situação atual na tabela.

Em 12º lugar, com 42 pontos, o Vasco continua longe da briga por uma vaga no G-4. O Flamengo, em 13º, com 38, não consegue se afastar com boa margem de pontos dos clubes que ainda lutam contra o rebaixamento. Agora, o jeito é investir na 32ª rodada. Mas as partidas prometem ser difíceis. O Rubro-Negro receberá o Corinthians nesta quarta-feira. A equipe cruzmaltina encara o Vitória em Salvador. no Barradão, no próximo sábado.

Up next for us is Vitoria.

Mengao did the unthinkable.

Flamengo shut out Internacional 3-0.

This was a huge win for Rubro-Negro.

The daily double for Deivid and a goal by Renato spelled doom for Colorado.

This was our first clean in many a moon.

Juan broke into the box however Internacional defender Derley pushed him in the back. IE ergo, a PK was awarded in the 14^th minute. Deivid nailed the PK to give Mengao a 1-0 lead.

Renato was fouled. He dialed up a long-range missile in the 38^th minute. Renato’s bomb flat out beat the keeper to the right post to make 2-0 Mengao.

Deivid nailed a header off a well-placed corner kick in the 46^th minute to make 3-0 Flamengo.

Game, set, and match to us.

With the win, Mengao moves into 13^th place with 37 points.

Flamengo is now nine points clear of the drop-dead zone.

Headman Luxemburgo is working on getting Mengao in shape. First Val Baiano hit the daily double the previous week and now Deivid did it this week.

Globo Esporte- Val Baiano em uma semana, Deivid na outra. Se Vanderlei Luxemburgo pode se gabar de alguma coisa neste início de trabalho no Flamengo é a recuperação do faro de gols dos atacantes. Neste sábado, o camisa 99, que perdeu aproximadamente três quilos nas últimas semanas, matou a fome com duas bolas na rede, sendo decisivo para a vitória por 3 a 0 sobre o Inter, no Engenhão

Mengao has not won a game by three goals since April of this year.

O Flamengo não vencia uma partida por três gols de diferença desde abril, quando derrotou o Friburguense por 3 a 0, pelo Campeonato Carioca. O resultado deixa a equipe com 37 pontos, distante da zona de rebaixamento. O atual campeão dorme na 13ª posição,  e torce contra o Guarani neste domingo para terminar a 30ª rodada na área de classificação à Sul-Americana, objetivo traçado desde a apresentação de Vanderlei Luxemburgo.

Rubro-Negro started out like crap. The Flamenguistas turned against Flamengo. The PK by Deivid changed all of that and the big “MO” in the match.

O Flamengo começou o jogo muito mal. Deivid irritou a torcida com uma sequência de erros antes mesmo dos dez minutos. Ele não foi o único. Maldonado, Galhardo… o time começou nervoso, e o Inter aproveitou para dominar. Rondou a área uma, duas vezes. Nada muito perigoso.

Até que Juan cruzou alto para a área, sem perigo. A bola parou na mão de Renan, mas o árbitro Wilson Seneme viu um empurrão de Índio em Deivid dentro da área. Pênalti estranho, aos 14. Vanderlei mandou e o atacante acatou. Correu com tranquilidade, acertou o canto direito e comemorou o terceiro dele com a camisa do Flamengo.

Up next for Rubro-Negro is Vasco.

There are two make up matches being played today.

Santos takes on Internacional at Santo’s house Urbano Caldeira.

Corinthians battles Vasco at Sao Janeiro in Rio de Janeiro.

Santos currently sits in fifth place with 45 points.

This is Pele’s old club.

Peixe is nine points behind league leader Cruzeiro.

Raposa has 54 big ones.

Corinthians was hotter than a firecracker on the fourth of July but Timao has cooled off faster than global cooling. Corinthians has lost two out of their last three matches.

Timao is in third place with 49 points.

Internacional is in fourth place with 47 points.

Colorado is the current Copa Libertadores Champion.

Internacional started off the Campeonato very slowly due to Copa play but once Colorado secured the title they have been a terror ever since.

Newly promoted Vasco is hanging in there in 12^th place.

Gigante da Colina has 38 points.

Vasco was in danger of the heave-zone but Gigante de Colina has lost only three matches since September 4^th.

Gigante da Colina has whooshed past my beloved Flamengo.

Mengao is on the verge getting the axe.

Next up Rubro-Negro is Internacional.

We need wins baby.

Way to snatch a tie from the jaws of victory. Mengao was cruising to a sure fire 2-0 win over Avai.

But wait this gets really good.

The boo birds Flamengo gave up two second half goals in a span of six minutes.

Mengao fell apart and wound up with a lucky two all draw.

Leo Moura and David Braz both lost their heads and were given the heave hoe in the second half.

Leo Moura was given a second yellow card. Mate David Braz and Avai’s Rudnei got into a bitch-slapping match. Both were given the heave-hoe.

Já perto do fim do jogo, Renato Abreu se desentendeu com Rudnei. David Braz correu para tirar satisfações com o avaiano e foi atingido no rosto. O árbitro Evandro Rogério Roman resolveu por expulsar Rudnei e David. Logo depois, um torcedor do Flamengo invadiu o gramado para tentar agredir o juiz. Apartada a confusão, a bola rolou por mais dois minutos e o jogo acabou.

Futebol must learn to fight men not girls.

Way to go guys screw up a win.

Okay I know a tie is better than a loss but dudes we need wins.

Rubro-Negro is hovering just above the drop dead zone.

Mengao scored first.

In a classic tick, tack, doe passing display Flamengo ripped Leao da Ilha defense to shreds.

Val Baiano kissed the twines for an easy goal in the 14^th minute to give us 1-0 lead.

Baiano was the recipient of another great pass in the 16^th minute.

This led to an easy tap for a goal.

2-0 Mengao.

Then all hell broke loose and Mengao fell apart in the second half.

Globo Esporte had this to say about Rubro-Negro’s choker city- Dois jogos em um. No primeiro tempo o Flamengo passeou. E no segundo, só o Avaí conseguiu atacar. Em um confronto de domínio alternado, a igualdade se justifica: Avaí e Flamengo empataram em 2 a 2 no Estádio da Ressacada, em Florianópolis, na tarde deste domingo (assista ao lado aos melhores momentos).

Val Baiano abriu 2 a 0 para os visitantes na etapa inicial, mas Emerson e Roberto igualaram o placar após o intervalo.

Right now Flamengo is in 14^th place with 34 points.

We’re five points above the drop zone.

Com o empate, o Avaí se mantém fora da zona de rebaixamento, com 30 pontos – é o 16º. O Flamengo desperdiça a chance de ingressar na área de classificação à Copa Sul-Americana, somando 34 pontos, na 14ª colocação.

This sucks big time.

Flamengo has a hot date with Avai on Sunday.

Mengao needs to win.

This is the utmost of importance if Flamengo wants to stay up with the big boys.

Avai is in 16^th place with 29 points.

Mengao has 33 points and sits in 14^th place.

If we lose this match, this will cost us dearly.

We are barely hanging on.

Mengao needs a life rope.

Last weeks win over Atletico-GO was Rubro-Negro’s first win in their last five matches.

Finally Mengao is scoring goals but Flamengo is giving them up by the boatload.

Rubro-Negro has scored ten goals and has given up ten goals.

The offense is coming around but the “D’ needs to be strengthened.

On Saturday Santos defeated Atletico-Paranaense 2-0.

Vasco tied with Gremio three all.

Sao Paulo defeated Gremio- Barueri 3-2.

It is time futebol players are stopped being treated like cattle. Players are no more than meat on the hoof for club owners and international federations. These owners and managers can use players however they want to.

Sure, players are paid great wages. At least the stars and many of the good players are paid handsomely but what is the price?

The price is very high.

The average player life span in futebol is maybe five to eight years.

These men have only a few years to many lots of money before their bodies begin to break down.

Yeah, I know clubs have taken out insurance policies to protect their property.

Cool, but what about player’s rights.

These federations and clubs force players to play upwards of 90-100 matches a year.

No wonder players like Wayne Rooney, Fernando Torres, Cesc Fabregas, and Robin Van Persie are broken down by the time they are 25 years old.

It is time players form a real union and start to demand proper medical care, insurance, and a limit on how many matches they can play each year.

I know it is really important to play for your country.

I can dig it but look at this fool why have all of these stupid friendly matches right after the World Cup has just concluded.

Use your freakin head for something besides a hat rack.

This makes as much sense as a fart in church.

It is time players refuse to play in these stupid and insane matches.

Futebol players need a Curt Flood to sacrifice his career for the good of the game and the players.

Until this happens, players will continue to go down like flies.

Pele played futebol from 1956 until 1977.

He played almost all of his career in Brasil.

Pele played for Santos from 1956-1974.

He played two years with the New York Cosmos before he quit in 1977.

Now a days players play in League play, Champions League, European Championships, International friendly and preseason matches all over the world.

Players like Pele and Maradona are the exception.

It is time for futebol players grow a set of balls and take on owners and FIFA management and tell them we have had enough of this crap.

Enough said.

Gunner nation will stand forever.

Today will be a hodge podge of stuff to talk about. We’re in an international break until October 18^th.

Yet, many of the top clubs in the world will see their best players participating the European Championships.

This is nuts.

My Gunners have eleven players in the idiotic event.

Here’s a list of the Arsenal players: Bacary Sagna, Abou Diaby, Samir Nasri, Gael Clichy, Tomas Rosicky, Jack Wilshere, Andrey Arshavin, Emmanuel Eboue, Marouane Chamakh, Henri Lansbury, and Wojciech Szcesny.

I wonder how many of our guys will get hurt?

This doesn’t include Fernando Torres, Wayne Rooney, and whole slew of other top-flight stars.

This is pure stupidity.

The players need to stand up and go on strike.

Enough said on this BS.

Mengao has a hot date with Atletico-MG.

Flamengo needs to win this sucker.

We are playing in Rio de Janeiro.

Although it is not Maracanã, we are playing at home- Jornalista Mario Filho.

If Mengao doesn’t win, the Flamenguistas will be restless and mad as hell.

Goianiense trails Mengao in the table by four points.

UOL wrote this- Flamengo will try and put behind them the craziness of Zico and Silas getting the axe and the Mengao will see the return of striker Diogo.

Em fase turbulenta após a saída de Zico e Silas, o Flamengo terá a estreia do técnico Vanderlei Luxemburgo, que retornou à Gávea e barrou o atacante Diogo. O time carioca fará confronto direto para escapar da ‘degola’ contra o Atlético-GO, que tenta se recuperar do tropeço em casa ante o xará mineiro para ter a chance de deixar a zona do rebaixamento nesta rodada.

Mengao is hovering just above the you’re outta zone.

Flamengo has 30 points.

We are currently in 15^th place.

Avai is in 16^th place with 29 points.

Atletico-GO is in 17^th place with 26 points.

Mengao has a huge match on Thursday against Dragao.

This sucker is for all the marbles.

If we lose this will spell doom to our season.

We have to win this sucker.

I don’t care how many coaches or GM’s you bring in if you don’t have the players you stink.

Flamengo has lost Adriano and Vagner Love.

These are two world-class players.

Adriano was responsible for us winning the Campeonato last year.

Enter Love and we have this feeling we’re gonna get the two-peat.

But no, idiot Patricia Amorim is named the new Prez.

All breaks loose and Flamengo is stuck on stupid.

Patricia Amorim is the idiot who caused this mess.

Patricia Amorim the jackass has been single handily destroying a great club Flamengo.

There were charges of special favors given to certain people by Zico and this led to his being fired.

Globo Esporte-Quando Patrícia Amorim sentou à mesa da presidência do Flamengo para mais uma entrevista, nesta quarta à tarde, na Gávea, o quadro com a foto de Zico continuava pendurado na parede da sala, ao fundo. Mas o ídolo rubro-negro não faz mais parte da diretoria. Saiu magoado com a dirigente. Segundo ele, Patrícia pouco o defendeu das acusações – dirigidas também a seus filhos – de supostas irregularidades em contratações e no contrato de parceria com o CFZ. As denúncias foram feitas pelo presidente do Conselho Fiscal do clube, Leonardo Ribeiro, o Capitão Léo, ex-chefe de torcida organizada. Patrícia assegurou que sempre esteve ao lado de Zico. Que não há qualquer fundamento nas acusações. E ainda não entendeu a sua saída. Fez questão de evitar o confronto e reconheceu uma falha.

There are eleven matches left in the season.

We need all the points we can get.

There is no room for error for Rubro-Negro.

Mengao’s new coach Luxemburgo had a training session earlier on Wednesday.

Luxemburgo is in charge or rearranging the deck chairs on The Titanic.

I hope we don’t go down with the ship.
