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 18th 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 18th place with 11 points.
Rosario Central is in 19th with 11 points as well however; Boca is a minus six while Rosario Central is a minus seven.
River Plate is in 16th 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 2nd.
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.

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 27th 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 42nd 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 69th 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 81st 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 74th 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 28th 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 32nd minute.
Rafael created just enough space between him and the defender to find the back of the net in the 45th minute.
The Fat lady is warming up.
Then Berbatov scored. Yep, you heard me right Dimitar Berbatov found the net in the 50th minute.
Wayne Rooney’s great ball set up the golden opportunity for the Berbatov man.
Antonio Valencia finished off the hit parade in the 75th 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.
