It’s the weekend and it’s time for the EPL. The guys are back in action. I love it.

Man U has a hot date at Old Trafford with Fulham.

The Red Devils are in the catbird seat with 66 points.

My guys from Arsenal are in the second slot with 59 points.

City is third with 56.

Wayne Rooney will be MIA due to cursing out a ref in last weeks match against West Ham.

Sir Alex and the boys should not miss a beat with the leagues top scorer Dimitar Berbatov. Berbatov has found the back of the net 20 times.

Rio Ferdinand will be back anchoring the “D”.

Man U cannot afford to be lax in this puppy.

Remember my guys from Arsenal have a game in hand.

The Gunners battle Blackpool at Bloomfield Park.

The Seasiders have a habit of playing the big boys tough at home.

We have to be very careful.

The Barca hangover is still a loom of gloom over the Gunners heads.

Robin Van Persie, Samir Nasri, and the rest need to attack, attack, and stop giving up stupid goals.

Cesc Fabregas will play. Wenger said- “Cesc is fit to start,” confirmed the manager at his pre-match press conference. “We have some problems with Sagna and with Song, who will be out [with a knee injury], and Walcott as well. 

Wenger went on to say- “Song definitely won’t play but he should be available for next week. There is a big doubt about Walcott, it’s his ankle again. He will have a late fitness test.

“Sagna has a knee problem and has a scan today [Friday]. Everybody else should be available.”

City is nipping at my Gunners heels in third place only three points out.

City takes on Liverpool on Monday at Anfield.

Chelsea is at the friendly confines of Stamford Bridge to battle heave –hoe bound Wigan.

Gunner for life.

This is it from The De Futebol Zone.

We pulled another rabbit out of hat. Arsenal was just missing by that much throughout the match. Then magic presto Alex Song’s great header off a well placed dribble drive thru ball by mate Gael Clichy in the 88^th minute gave the Gunners a much needed 1-0 win over West Brom.

Song’s diving header connected with the pass.

Keeper Robert Green never had a chance.

Green all match long made death defying saves all match long.

This was very frustrating for the Gunner nation.

This was a must win for Arsenal.

Chelsea defeated Blackburn 2-1.

This was a hard fought match.

Both sides went at it tooth and nail.

This was a very chippy match.

Albion’s Scott Parker had in for several Gunners. His favorite targets were Cesc Fabregas and Marouane Chamakh.

For a moment, I thought punches might be exchanged.

Headman Arsene Wenger has this to say about the Gunners late goal that gave us the win.

“When you win with two minutes to go, it is always a relief,” Wenger said. “We needed to be patient, intelligent and not to make a mistake at the back against a team who had a strong spirit and were well organised. We did not do anything stupid, kept trying to be intelligent and that got us the goal.

“I was thinking it was one of those days when the ball went onto the post and came back into the goalkeeper’s hands, that is not a good sign. But we kept going and out of this game we have once again shown a great attitude.”

 Brasilian Denilson was inserted into the match in the 67^th minute. He had very a good match against West Brom.

Wenger said this- www.arsenal.com Denilson had three good games this week – he played the whole 90 minutes at Manchester City, the whole 90 minutes at Newcastle and he did quite well today because he defended very well at the moment everybody went forward. But Jack can play with Denilson, he can play with Song, I have good potential for rotation and don’t forget we have Diaby who can come back too.

Manchester City lost to Wolves 2-1.

This was a huge upset.

David Edward’s goal in the 57^th minute was the match winner.

City’s hopes overtaking Chelsea came crashing down to earth on the pitch at Molineux stadium, Wolverhampton’s house.

The Red Devils took it to Tottenham at Old Trafford.

Goals by Vidac (31^st) and Nani in the 84^th minute gave Man U a 2-0 win over Spurs.

This just goes to show that newcomers that are trying to crash the party will many times not make past the entrance.

This was a huge win for Sir Alex’s side.

The mighty boys from Old Trafford are reeling from money problems and Wayne Rooney problems too.

Chelsea is still top dog with 25 points.

My Gunners are in second place with 20 points.

Man U is third with 20 points too.

Arsenal has a plus 12 while Man U has a plus 10.

City is fourth with 17 points.

Spurs are fifth with 15 points.

This is as another fine mess you’re gotten me into.

Gunner nation rules.

Yes, the basket counts and a foul.

My guys from Arsenal took care of business at our house Emirates. The Gunners blasted Bolton 4-1.

The win kept us clipping on the heels of leader Chelsea who blasted West Ham 3-1.

Yes, we played well but a blunder on the defensive end led to the Wanderers only goal of the match in the 44^th minute by Johan Elmander.

Laurent Koscielny poor back header to the our keeper was responsible for the Elmander goal.

However, Koscielny’ s header goal in the 24^th minute made up for this mistake.

We took the lead in the 58^th minute on well-placed header by Marouane Chamakh.

The Wanderers Gary Cahill was sent off in the 64^th minute.

Ten men ain’t gonna cut it against the Gunners.

Alex Song and Carlos Vela put the final nails in the Bolton coffin.

We are now in second place with ten points.

Another road match and another blown lead thus spelled doom for Man U.

After conceding the first goal, the Red Devils scored three straight goals to take 3-1 lead. Then all hell broke loose in injury time. The Toffees scored twice to kill Man U’s hopes of staying on pace with the Blues.

This sucker ended in a three all tie.

The mighty boys from Old Trafford fell into third place with eight points.

Man U sucks on the road.

Two road matches two ties not good garoto.

Wayne Rooney stayed home to straighten out his home life.

His absence may have effected the side.

It did at the outset but the Red Devils showed their mettle by taking a 3-1 lead.

Guys, you need to work on closing the deal.

Arsenal and the Red Devils are kissing cousins.

Why?

Both have trouble closing out matches. 

Everton is a good squad but they are just missing that little extra something.

What?

I am really not sure.

The Toffees are in 17^th place with two points.

This is in the drop-dead zone.

Two steps above stink.

Chelsea is playing great but lets remember the Blues are feeding on the little sisters of the poor.

The four wins are against Wigan, West Ham, Stoke City, and West Brom.

These sides have a combined two wins, 11 loses, and two ties.

This stinks.

Wait until the Blues get into nut the cutting time of their schedule.

Tottenham tied with West Brom one all.

The Spurs are off to a horrible start.

Tottenham has one win, one loss, and two draws.

Coming up on Tuesday for Harry and the boys is a Champions League match with Werder Bremen.

The big surprise of the day was Blackpool’s 2-0 win over Newcastle.

This makes two wins for the Seasiders this season.

Who would have thunk it.

Blackpool is in fourth place with seven points.

Oh, yes it is fun in the sun.

Toons had a rough go of it Moiré.

A funny thing happened on the way to Barcelona. Our guys from Arsenal were missing their key players. It was a slaughter. Barca handed us our lunch 4-1.

What did you expect miracles.

The Gunners were without Fabregas, Alex Song, and Andrea Arshavin.

Jeez, this is like sending the lamb out to fight the wolves armed with a butter knife.

We never had a chance.

This is similar to a one legged man in an ass kicking contest.

Lionel Messi hit for the quadruple.

My grandmother could have done that against an injury depleted squad.

She’s been dead since 1976.

Messi is good but lets see how he would have done against our best.

Nicholas Bendtner scored Arsenal’s lone tally in the 18^th minute.

This was good but it went downhill from there.

Injuries are killing us.

Enough said on this subject.

In the Clausura Boca Juniors is a race to see how fast they can stink the joint out. Boca gave up a late goal to Rosario Central and wound up losing 2-1.

River Plate lost to Lanus 1-0.

Both River and Boca stink to high heaven.

Godoy Cruz shut out Velez Sarsfield 2-0.

Boca is hovering near the bottom of the table.

Boca is in 18^th place with 11 points.

Rosario Central is in 19^th with 11 points as well however; Boca is a minus six while Rosario Central is a minus seven.

River Plate is in 16^th place with 12 points.

Independiente sits atop the table with 27 points. Godoy Cruz is in second place with 24 points. Argentinos Juniors is third with 22 points.

Now the teams that have stunk the joint like Argentinos Juniors and Godoy are flying high while top clubs Boca and River are bottom feeders.

You gotta love it.

This is the hodge podge day for us. We will talk about Flamengo, Champions League, and Monday’s Liverpool-Wigan match.

Adriano has returned to Flamengo after missing eleven days. Most of this time was due to the Emperor playing in the World Cup friendly against Ireland on Tuesday March 2^nd.

Adriano will work out to test his physical condition while the rest of Mengao travels to Caracas for their match on Tuesday in the Copa Libertadores. Globo Esporte this to say-  O atacante Adriano se reapresentou ao Flamengo nesta segunda-feira, no Ninho do Urubu, em seu primeiro trabalho após a polêmica causada pela briga que ele teve com a namorada, Joana Machado, na noite de quinta para sexta-feira na entrada de um baile funk, na favela da Chatuba (Zona Norte do Rio). Como foi programado pela diretoria rubro-negra, Adriano, que chegou por volta das 15h20m ao local do treino e realizou um trabalho físico na academia, separado do grupo que viaja para Caracas na manhã desta terça-feira para enfrentar o time da capital venezuelana, quarta, às 21h50m (de Brasília), pela Libertadores.

Vagner Love was hurt in Mengao’s match against Resende. Globo Esporte reported that Love has a thigh bruise. He will miss Monday’s workout- Vagner Love foi poupado do treino desta segunda, ainda sentindo dores por causa da pancada que recebeu na coxa durante a goleada por 4 a 0 sobre o Resende, sábado, em Volta Redonda, pela terceira rodada da Taça Rio. O artilheiro do Carioca com dez gols chegou a entrar no campo, uniformizado, mas calçando meia e chinelos. Depois de uma conversa com o gerente de futebol Isaías Tinoco e o auxiliar de preparação física Daniel Jouvin, retornou para a musculação.

The return leg in the Champions League first round knockout stage resumes on Tuesday March 8.

Arsenal has a hot date with FC Porto. The Gunners lost 2-1 on a late goal. 

We have the all important away goal.

Arsenal has to shut em out at Emirates.

We cannot afford to give up a cheap goal.

The bad news for the Gunners is this. Cesc Fabregas will be out with a pulled hammie.

An MRI was run on Fabregas on Monday. Wenger thinks he will miss a minimum amount of time.

With that said the Arshavin, Eduardo, and the rest are going to have to step up big time.

It is a must that Walcott, Arshavin, and Eduardo find the back of the net.

Samie Nasri will take Fabregas’s place.

Alex Song will need to have a great match as well.

If not we could get 86 outta the joint.

Wigan’s Hugo Rodallegas well placed volley into the back of the net sent Liverpool packing with a 1-0 defeat at DW Stadium.

This loss by the Reds will surely put a dent in their aspirations for the final Champions League berth.

This was Wigan’s first win EPL win against Liverpool.

This is the Reds nineth loss of the season.

Liverpool drops to sixth place.

Tottenham is in fourth place with 49 points.

Manchester City is in fifth place with 49 points as well but City is a plus 17 while Spurs are a plus 23.

Man City has a game in hand.

Tottenham has played 28 matches will City has played 27.

Let the games begin.

Lets talk about two classic big time rear end kicking’s that two of the top clubs in the EPL administered to Portsmouth and Wigan. The Gunners slaughtered Pompey 4-1. Man U destroyed Wigan 5-0.

All I can say is. This is about time guys.

A huge way to go garoto goes out to Arsenal and Manchester United.

You gotta love it.

Eduardo led things off for the Gunners in the 27^th minute. Eduardo’s rocket of a free kick went bing, bam, boom, off the wall and into the net. The entire Pompey team was utterly helpless.

Nasri proved he has some zing in his step. Nasri tripped the twines in the 42^nd minute.

I just loved the last two goals by the Wenger guys.

Aaron Ramsey went zip da do da through three Pompey defenders. He let fly with a wicked hot-shot that flat-out beat the keeper Samir Begovic in the 69^th minute.

Song’s goal was one of the best goals I have seen in a long time. The Gunners literally toyed with Portsmouth. Arsenal held possession of the rock for more than two minutes before Song’s header ripped the twines in the 81^st minute.

This build up made the Pompey “D” look like school children.

All in all this was a great match for the Gunners except for slight hiccup when Portsmouth scored on a wonderful goal by Nadir Belhadi in the 74^th minute.

Where has this display of offensive been Man U?

Finally, the boys from Old Trafford woke up and bombarded the nets for five of those bad boys.

Wayne Rooney took it to the rack in the 28^th minute. Wham Bam thank you my dear lady.

The floodgates soon opened and there was no stopping the Red Devils.

Get this Carrick rammed home a shot in the 32^nd minute.

Rafael created just enough space between him and the defender to find the back of the net in the 45^th minute.

The Fat lady is warming up.

Then Berbatov scored. Yep, you heard me right Dimitar Berbatov found the net in the 50^th minute.

Wayne Rooney’s great ball set up the golden opportunity for the Berbatov man.

Antonio Valencia finished off the hit parade in the 75^th minute.

This was all she wrote.

Turn out the lights the party’s over.

Now we have a race for the title. This is gonna be tighter than a par of Don Alvarzoe’s tweezers. Hint Jerry Lewis routine in the 1960’s. 

The EPL is done with until next year. Okay it’s only one day away but who’s counting. So shoot me why don’t ya.

Chelsea is top dog with 45 points. Man U is in second place with 43 points. The Gunners are third 41 points. Spurs are fourth 37 points.

There are eights points of separation between the top four clubs.
