Man U scored one of their classic comebacks. Down three goals to nil the mighty boys from Old Trafford came back rescued a point against the Blues at Stamford Bridge.

The final score was a three all tie with Chelsea.

This tie helped my guys from Arsenal.

Man U was  attempting a sweep of the Blues for the first time since 1987.

An own goal by Jonnie Evans in the 36^th minute set the tone for the match.

Juan Mata gave the Blues a two zero lead in the 46^th minute.

A goal by David Luiz made three nil then all hell broke loose in the final thirty-two minutes.

Two PK’s by the Rooney man and well-placed header by Chicharito saved Sir Alex and the boys butts.

Sure Man U lost some ground on City but this tie may have saved the Red Devils season.

A loss would give the Citizens a three-point lead over Man U instead they trail City by two points.

City is top dog with 57 points.

Man U is second with 55 points.

Third place belongs to Spurs with 49 points.

Tottenham and Liverpool will battle it out later today.

Chelsea is fourth 43.

Newcastle is fifth with 42 and my guys from Arsenal are sixth with 40.

This delicious tie keeps my Gunners three points behind the Blues and two points behind Toons.

We are in a fight for the last spot in the Champions League.

There are fourteen match’s left in the EPL season.

Newcastle defeated Aston Villa 2-1.

Sir Alex was pissed at the linesmen for not sending off Gary Cahill. This is what Sir Alex said about Howard Webb, “It’s two points dropped because we played so well, other than the ten minutes after half-time. It’s not easy getting back from 3-0 down – that’s a massive effort from my players,” Ferguson told Sky Sports.

“It was a sending off. The linesman has given two penalty kicks against us at Old Trafford in the last two years, one against Arsenal and one against Liverpool – from 45 yards away, but he can’t see that? I don’t blame Howard Webb, I blame the assistant.

“There was a pull on Ashley Young, in front of the linesman again, and he doesn’t give it. Yet he gives them at Old Trafford. I don’t understand it, I don’t know where they get them from.

“His (Young’s) jersey is pulled. Was he diving? If it’s a pull of the shirt he’s not diving obviously. The two penalties in the second half were justified, but we could have had four.”

Sir Alex on Hernandez equalizer, “To be honest, I should have played Chicharito from the start. When he came on , he kept them on their toes. His movement, his positional play…” Ferguson commented.

Chamberlain hit the daily lotto twice.

Mikel Arteta hit for pay dirt as well.

We win in cakewalk 7-1.

Thierry Henry scored in the in the 94^th minute.

We are now in fifth place with 40 points.

Chelsea is in fourth place with 42 points.

Man U- Chelsea will battle it out at Stamford Bridge later today.

Gunner Nation will be rooting for a Red Devil win.

Wenger said this about the win -”I do not give much importance to the seven goals, it is just we won and played well,” said the Arsenal manager.

“I felt that recently we had quite good performances but did not get the results. Today we got the performance and the result, which is ideally what you want.”

We remained serious and were guided by the way we want to play football and not by any extravagant individualism. We were mature and serious, we played together until the end.”

Once again Mengao decided to play their B squad against Olaria. The chief idiots and clowns that run Flamengo are playing with fire. The boo-Mengao’s have two ties and one win against crappy competition. If we continue to play like this Flamengo will be on the outside looking in. the Carioca Title is a huge deal. This competition sets the tone for the season. At this rate we’ll be whale crap. Bye-bye to the Serie A. Hello D-2 ball.

UOL-Com um time repleto de juniores, inclusive com a estreia de Matheus, filho do tetracampeão Bebeto pelo time profissional, os reservas do Flamengo não conseguiram se impor em cima do Olaria, nesta sexta-feira, no Engenhão, pela terceira rodada da Taça Guanabara, primeiro turno do Campeonato Carioca. Apesar do resultado, a equipe da Gávea voltou a liderança do Grupo A, com cinco pontos. Pela equipe suburbana, foi o primeiro ponto do clube, que conta com o vetarano Pedrinho, na competição.

Up next for the chief idiots Flamengo is Botafogo on Sunday. We will have to play better if the guys want to stay in the hunt in Group A.

Na próxima rodada, o Flamengo terá já o primeiro clássico da temporada, contra o Botafogo, no domingo, às 19h30, no Engenhão. Desta vez, a equipe terá todos os titulares em campo e, no banco, o novo técnico Joel Santana. Já o Olaria terá pela frente o Madureira, às 17h, na Rua Bariri, com o intuito de conquistar sua primeira vitória nesta Taça Guanabara.

http://esporte.uol.com.br/futebol/campeonatos/estadual-do-rio/pos-jogo/2012/02/03/flamengo-x-olaria.htm

Rubro-Negro and Fogao are sitting a top Group A with five points.

Nova Iguacu has five points também but Mengao is a plus four. Botafogo is a plus 2. Nova Iguacu is a plus one.

Macaé and Madureira both have four points apiece.

The race for the top spots is tighter than a doornail.

My guys from Arsenal have a huge match with Blackburn later today. This is a must win for my Gunners. We can’t afford any more brain farts or ties. Arsenal has to win “W’s”.

Robin Van Persie is the only offense we have. Without RVP my Gunners would be in the shits.

Next on the goal parade is Gervinho with four.

The Rovers beat us many moons ago. Actually it was in September. Blackburn won 4-3.

This was our third straight loss. As of right now my Gunners are 0 for 2012 in EPL play.

We are on a three match-losing streak. This sucks big time.

The Rovers are in the bye-bye zone.

Blackburn is in 17^th place with 18 points.

My guys from Arsenal had a real chance to move into fifth place but my Gunners stunk the joint out big time. Instead of a “W” we wound up with a nil-nil tie with lowly Bolton.

The point moved the Wanderers out of the drop zone into 17^th place.

Arsenal shot themselves in the head big time.

We controlled the action but couldn’t push the rock past the goal line. My Gunners have only one point in our last three away matches. Add this on top of being winless since January 1^st our season is fading fast into the sunset.

Toons beat Blackburn 2-0. Newcastle dropped us to seventh place while Toons is now in fifth with 39 points.

Arsenal is buried in seventh place with 36 points.

Our season is driving Pell Mel to hell in a hand basket.

Fulham and West Brom tied one all.

Aston Villa and Queens Park Rangers drew two all.

The race for the title and the heave-hoe zone are wide open and for real.

Don’t count out Sir Alex and the boys. The death of Man U is vastly exaggerated. This sucker was never in doubt. The Red Devils had their way with Stoke City winning 2-0.

Goals via the PK route by Chicharito and Dimitar Berbatov propelled the Red Devils to the win.

The Potters maybe had two real threats but other than that nada.

Stoke jogar não serve para nada.

The mighty boys from Old Trafford have 54 points.

Sir Alex rested the Rooney man, Nani, and most of the starters to get ready for the Chelsea tilt this Sunday.

My guys from Arsenal showed what they are made of. We fell behind 2-0 to Villa. Instead of folding up like a cheap tent my Gunners manned up and scored three-second half goals to win 3-2.

Two PK’s by Robin van Persie and a goal from Theo Walcott sent the boys into the next round of the FA Cup.

My Gunners started out fast but couldn’t convert.

Aston Villa struck first in the 33^rd minute. Richard Dunn rose above the fray and nailed a powerful header. Stiliyan Petrov set this sucker up with a well-placed corner kick.

Villa made 2-0 on a goal by Darren Bent in the 45^th minute.

The guys came roaring back.

This win showed the guys have the fortitude to come back from adversity.

The FA Cup weekend is over. Chelsea, Liverpool, Bolton, Stoke City, Norwich City, and Birmingham from the EPL advanced. Newcastle lost to Championship side Brighton 1-0.

League Two Crawley Town pulled the biggie-upset city of the day beating Hull City 1-0.

Stevenage defeated Notts County 1-0. Boro is in League Two while Notts County is League One.

So far in the FA Cup there have been a few surprises but most of the big boys have passed on through except for when EPL clubs battled each other like Liverpool-Man U, West Brom-Norwich City, Bolton- Swansea City, Chelsea- Queens Park Rangers.

Man City put up one hell of a fight against Liverpool in the Carling Cup replay but the Reds prevailed 2-2 to advance on aggregate 3-2.

This puppy was a nutcracker. The Citizens took the lead twice 1-0 and 2-1 before Craig Bellamy scored in the 73^rd minute to send Liverpool to the Carling Cup final against Cardiff.

Nigel de Jong’s goal in the in the 31^st  minute gave City the early lead.

The Reds responded in the 41^st minute on a PK by Steven Gerrard.

Edin Dzeko nailed a close range bomb in the 67^th minute. The Citizens are up 2-1.

Craig Bellamy rammed home the equalizer in the 76^th minute that sent Liverpool nation into a frenzy.

Reds captain Steven Gerrard said this about Bellamy’s goal -”It’s a great feeling, it’s been a while,” Gerrard told Sky Sports. “Since playing at Cardiff in 2006, it’s been too long for this club. I’m delighted for everyone, especially the fans.”

“Craig was the difference,” Gerrard added. “His pace was always a threat and we know that if a chance falls to him he can finish. It`s a big thanks to him. We had to be positive and brave. 

“Man City have so much quality and our decision to attack them paid off. Joe is a big character but I don’t feel sorry for him. He’s a top keeper and he will play in many finals. But it’s our turn now and we have to go and lift that trophy.”

Craig Bellamy said about facing his home town side Cardiff – “The omens were looking good going into tonight after I saw Cardiff go through,” the striker said. “I was delighted for them and this couldn’t be a better final for me. Cardiff means so much to me. It’s funny how football can work out at times.”

City’s Roberto Mancini said this We did a good performance, scored two goals. I think it was not a penalty for Liverpool and was for us. This changed the game,” the Italian said. “He (Richards) touched the ball on his leg, for this reason (it was not a penalty).”

“There is a referee on the pitch. It is enough. It was a penalty, incredible, clear. We did well, scored, we did some mistakes and conceded a stupid goal. We can do nothing.”

My guys from Arsenal couldn’t quite pull off the win but the guys were able to keep it close. Man U won 2-1 over Arsenal.

Antonio Valencia gave the Red Devils the lead with a strike in the 45^th minute. Valencia noodled home the winner.

Robin Van Persie scored the equalizer in the 71^st minute.

Sir Alex and the boys found the answer in the 81^st minute. Danny Welbeck nailed the match winner with a great cross over dribble in the box. His left foot laser beat the keeper Wojciech Szczesny to give the Red Devils the win.

A great cross by mate Valencia set up this puppy.

This was a must win for the mighty boys from Old Trafford.

Man City scored a dramatic 3-2 win over Tottenham.

The Citizens took a 2-0 lead early in the second half but Spurs answered with consecutive goals to level this baby up at two all. Then enter a foul in the box by Spurs defender King. Balotelli stepped up and nailed the PK in the 95^th minute to send Man City to the Promised Land.

Mario Balotelli should have been sent off when he stomped on Tottenham’s Parker in the 82^nd minute.

Jermain Defoe had a chance to salt this puppy away in the 92^nd minute but he couldn’t direct home the ball parked in front of the net.

City sits atop the EPL with 54 points.

Man U is second with 51 points.

Spurs are third with 46.

Chelsea is fourth with 41 and my guys from Arsenal are fifth 36.

My guys played very well on the defensive end. My Arsenal guys used a makeshift back four. We don’t have a true fullback and this is killing us.

Sir Alex said this about the win ”We created an amazing amount of chances and to only score two is a bit disappointing.

”We should have rammed home our advantage in the first half, and in the first 15 minutes of the second half they had three great chances and missed them all, so we rode our luck.

”When they put Mertesacker up and kept tossing the ball into the box, you never know what’s going to happen but we coped well with that, Smalling was fantastic in that period and we managed to see it out.”

Here is the link http://soccernet.espn.go.com/report?id=318059&cc=5901

Wenger mixed up the starting lineup when he started Alex Oxlade Chamberlain along with Theo Walcott in the midfield.

Chamberlain set up RVP’s goal in the 71^st minute.

We now trail City by 15 points. The guys aren’t out of the race but the fat lady is warming up.

It’s stiff upper lip time for my Gunners for we are still in the running for a Champions League spot.

I have simple piece of advice for the guys forget about it.

There were a couple of shockers today in the EPL. Chelsea should have beaten Norwich City handily. Not on this day. The Canaries held the Blues in check. The result a nil-nil draw. This could have killed Chelsea’s chances at a shot at the title.

Time will tell.

Bolton came out of nowhere and destroyed the Reds 3-1.

Goals by Mark Davies, Nigel Reo-Cooker, and Gretar Rafn Steinsson were all the Wanderers needed to pull out the huge “W” over Liverpool.

This win may have saved Bolton’s season.

Fulham fell behind 1-0 to Toons but the Cottagers rallied with four straight goals to win going away 5-2.

Clint Dempsey nailed the hat trick for Fulham.

Everton and Blackburn tied one all.

Queens Park Rangers killed the Wig guys 3-1.

This was another one of those biggie wins for the Swans.

Sunderland beat Swansea City 2-0.

West Brom beat Stoke 2-1.

The Wig guys are whale dung with 15.

Wolvers are one step above whale dung with 18.

Bolton is just below the safety line with 18 points.

The Wanderers are a minus 12 while Wolverhampton is a minus 15.

One step from the bye-bye zone is Blackburn with 19.

Queens Park Rangers are in 19^th place with 20.

Chelsea is on the road against Norwich City. The Carnies haven’t beaten the Blues since 1994-95.

Norwich can be a tough out. The Carnies have beaten Newcastle so far this season at Carrow Road. So expect a war between Chelsea and Norwich City.

The Blues need to win this puppy to stay in touch with the leader board.

City has 51 points.

The Blues have 40.

Liverpool takes a trip to Bolton.

The Wanderers are near the butt end of the table.
