Flamengo stunk the joint out in our victory over Caracas 3-2. The win was huge but Mengao needed to win by a wider margin. Flamengo has no room for error if we want to move on to the next round of the Copa Libertadores.

UOL put it this way-A vitória não bastava. Era preciso golear. Nem isso o Flamengo fez ao bater o Caracas-VEN por 3 a 2, nesta quarta-feira, no Maracanã, pelo grupo 8 da Copa Libertadores e terá de torcer por uma grande combinação de resultados para se classificar à próxima fase. Enquanto, Ronaldo Angelim, Michael e David marcaram para os rubro-negros, Castellín e Gomez anotaram para os visitantes. Com o resultado, o time da Gávea se consolidou na segunda posição de seu grupo, com 10 pontos. Já o time da Venezuela terminou esta fase na última posição, com dois

Us Flamenguistas were down right pissed with the way Mengao played. Globo Esporte had this to say-A atuação não foi boa, a ira da torcida só fez aumentar, e o que imperou na noite desta quarta-feira no Maracanã foram vaias e xingamentos vindos das arquibancadas. O Império do Amor não fez sua parte, e o placar do alívio, com pelo menos dois gols de diferença, não veio. Mas, aos trancos e barrancos, o Flamengo venceu o Caracas por 3 a 2 e complicou suas chances de classificação às oitavas de final da Taça Libertadores.

Adriano played like crap. He had one great season and now he’s reverted to his old ways. If this BS play continues the Emperor can kiss his shot at making the World Cup squad bye-bye. Pior para Adriano, que teve outra atuação abaixo da crítica e, após o apito final, ouviu algo que jamais imaginou desde sua volta ao Fla: “Ei, Adriano, vai tomar no c*”. O conjunto rubro-negro também foi muito vaiado e saiu de campo sob os gritos de “time sem vergonha”.

It comes dowm to this if Menago is to advance to the next round of the Copa. Menago has hope the other teams either lose or have a worse goal difference than us-

Agora, para conseguir a vaga, o time – que tem 10 pontos e saldo de 2 gols – precisa ficar de olho em outros resultados nos jogos desta quinta. Os alvos são os Grupos 1 e 5. No primeiro, o time tem que torcer para o Racing-URU (7 pontos, saldo -1) não vencer o Cerro Porteño-PAR por mais de três gols de diferença, em Assunção. Já na outra chave, a tarefa é secar o Cerro-URU (7 pontos, saldo zero) contra o eliminado Emelec. Os uruguaios não podem vencer por mais de dois gols. Além disso, o Fla também precisa torcer para que Inter (9 pontos, saldo + 3) e Deportivo Quito (10 pontos, saldo + 1) não empatem no Beira-Rio. Se qualquer um desses resultados for desfavorável para o Fla, o clube estará eliminado

Mengao has no one to blame but themselves for the mess they are in.

Everything worked out for Mengao. Rubro-Negro is on to the next round of the Copa Libertadores,

Up next for Mengao is Corinthians.

The headlines in Brasil go like this-It is the Battle of the fat men- Ronaldo and Adriano. It will be a heavy weight way.

Only in Brasil.

There are two huge matches on Saturday in the EPL. Tottenham takes on Manchester United at Old Trafford. Both sides have the world to play for.

The boys from Old Trafford need the big three if they want to stay in the title hunt.

Spurs in the other hand are locked in a death match with City for the final Champions League spot.

Arsenal and Man City go at it in our house. We need the W if we want to keep our dim hopes of the EPL title alive. City on the other hand needs the big W as well. If City lose they might as well kiss their dreams of a Champions League spot voce vai.

Yes indeed it is surely nut-cutting time in the EPL.

Villa took care of business. Aston Villa shut out Hull City 2-0.

This result was huge for both sides. Hull City may have sealed their heave-hoe fate while Villa remains in contention for the final Champions League spot.

The Tigers had their chances but they couldn’t pull the trigger.

Both sides have now played their game in hand.

Tottenham and Man City have yet to play their game in hand.

Tottenham right now is in fourth place with 64 points. City is in fifth pace with 62 points. Villa leapfrogs into sixth place 61 points. The Reds are now seventh place with 59 points.

Hull City is currently in 18^th place with 29 points. The Hammers are in 17^th place 31 points.

Yogi Berra said it best, “It ain’t over till it’s over.” Better yet, it isn’t over until the fat lady sings. Yo Arsenal way to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. We were in the drivers seat. The Gunners were up 2-0. Eleven minutes from getting, the heave-hoe Wigan scored three times to beat us 3-2.

This defeat kills our chances of winning the EPL.

Arsenal was given a golden opportunity to move with in four points of Chelsea.

Spurs 2-1 soundly beat the Blues on Saturday.

All we had to do was hang on to a 2-nil lead.

Not!

Buda bing Buda boom Wigan hits the lottery with three successive scores.

Ben Watson started off the hit parade with a wing and prayer. He nailed smart deft off the side of the foot shot from twelve yards in the 80^th minute to cut the Gunners lead to 2-1.

Our keeper blew it big time in the 89^th minute. This was the Rocky Horror Picture Show for us Gunners. Fabianski tried to catch the ball but instead following the bouncing ball.  It goes off the head of Latics defender Titus Bramble and into the back of the net.

We are tied two all.

Hey baby can you say Keystone Cops.

This is not funny for us.

In the 91^st minute, Charles N’Zogbia unlashes a massive salvo that flies off the post and rips the twines to give Wigan an unthinkable 3-2 miracle win over Arsenal.

Stick a fork in our title hopes.

We are cooked big time.

Aston Villa beat Portsmouth 2-1.

Liverpool has a hot date with West Ham later today.

The Reds need this sucker badly if they want to entertain hopes of the final Champions League berth.

Chelsea is top dog with 77 points. Man U is second with 76 points. And my guys, Arsenal is in third with 71 points.

Tottenham is fourth with 64 points. Man City is fifth with 62 points. Aston Villa brings up the rear in the race for the final Champions League spot with 58 points.

The Reds are in seventh place with 56 points. If Liverpool doesn’t win, the Reds are cooked big time.

Wigan’s win lifts the Latics to 15^th place with 35 points. The Latics are seven points clear of the drop zone with three matches left.

Both West Ham and Hull City have a game in hand. The Hammers have 31 points while Hull City has 28 points.

On Wednesday, Hull City takes on Aston Villa to complete their make up game.

Man U scored in the final moments of injury time to stick a fork in City’s chances of winning a berth in the Champions League.

Scholes header off a great pass from mate Evra was squeezed between the keeper Shay Given and the right post.

Patrice Evra’s assist may have lifted the boys from Old Trafford to a historic four peat.

Man U rose from the dead to beat man City 1-0.

Paul Scholes was the hero but Patrice Evra’s dramatic run up the left side of the pitch coupled with his perfectly placed ball deep into the teeth of the City box gave Man U new life in the EPL title race.

You gotta live it baby.

Scholes is a PT player. This means he is a prime time player baby.

It sure looked like City and the mighty boys from Old Trafford would end up in a nil-nil tie.

Then midnight struck Cinderella was reduced to a fiery rubble.

Tottenham pulled off the daily double.

Spurs flat out took it to Chelsea.

Tottenham beat the Blues 2-1.

The Spurs beat my guys Arsenal last Sunday and then did an encore by possibly killing Chelsea’s title dreams on Saturday.

We will see.

Jermain Defoe and Gareth Bale hit for pay dirt to stake the Spurs to a 2-nil lead before John Terry added a cosmetic goal in the 90^th minute.

Both Spurs and Man U fans are happy as sin.

Now lets hope my guys will beat up on Wigan later today.

Oh yes baby the race is on.

Chelsea is the top dog with 77 points. Man U is second with 76. Arsenal is third with 71. We have a game in hand. Tottenham is fourth with 64 and Man City is fifth with 62.

This is for all the marbles Saturday. I call this nut-cutting Saturday. This is where we separate the boys from the girls and pretenders from the contenders.

City and Man U will go at it at the City of Manchester. City needs to win this baby if they want to hang on to the final Champions League spot.

Man U needs this puppy badly as well. For the mighty boys from Old Trafford are in a death match with Chelsea to see which side will win the EPL crown.

Man U is going for the historic four peat.

The story lines are these. Tevez and Sir Alex. Will the Rooney man step up and kick butt? Will Tevez get his revenge against Sir Alex?

Can Man U man up and win?

For if they surely lose or draw the Red Devils can kiss the title adios sucker.

Spurs take on Chelsea at White Hart Lane. Tottenham kicked our butts (Arsenal) 2-1. Will Spurs get a repeat or will the Blues kick ass?

Spurs are in do or die situation. Win and you are still in contention for the final Champions League spot. Lose and it is bye-bye.

Chelsea needs this joker as well. Win and the title will be yours. Lose and it is Katie bar the door.

Best case for Man U beat City and see Spurs win.

For City-win and have Spurs lose.

Tottenham-win and have City lose.

Chelsea- win and Man U lose.

Take two Rolaids and call me in the morning.

We have a must win against Wigan on Sunday.

Arsenal needs both Man U and Chelsea to both lose.

Strange things have happened.

By Sunday night this mess will be sorta straighten out.

My Gunners had real opportunity to move into second place but the guys stunk the joint out big time. Arsenal blew it big time losing to Tottenham 2-1 at White Hart Lane.

Not to take to take anything away from Spurs for they had everything on the line as well. Tottenham flat out took it to Arsenal.

In boxing terms, Spurs fired their best Sunday punches while we answered with a popgun. 

Danny Rose fired a thunderbolt that left our keeper Almunia cemented to his spot.

1-0 Spurs in the 10^th minute.

Gareth Bale added the final nail in our coffin in the 47^th minute.

Nicholas Bendtner added a cosmetic goal in the 85^th minute to make the final score a respectable 2-1 outcome.

Spurs now trail Man City by one point in the chase for the final Champions League spot.

Oh Yes, what a relief it is.

Will this loss prove fatal for our chances to steal the EPL title?

We will surely find out.

Five bad boys are left.

Arsenal needs to run the table.

The Blues have some breathing room at the top of the table.

Chelsea is top dog with 77 points. Man U is second with 73. My Gunners are third with 71. City is fourth with 62. Spurs are fifth with 61.

The beat goes on.

Aston Villa and Everton tied at two all.

Wigan and Portsmouth kissed their sister nil-nil.

Please keep this in mind. The side that wins the title will have the best road record.

Chelsea has nine wins, four draws, and four losses. The Red Devils have nine wins, three draws, and four losses. My Gunners have eight wins, four draws, and five losses.

The Blues are the top dog for they have the best road record.

Trust me on this for I know what I am talking about.

The mighty boys from Old Trafford had a chance to move to the top of the table in the EPL. But no, Man U stunk the joint out on the road in a nil-nil tie with Blackburn.

The Red Devils had at least ten chances to get the full three points.

Dimitar Berbatov was the main culprit. This sorry excuse for a striker missed three point blank shots on goal. Berbatov should join the mason for he is better at making bricks than goals.

This tie may have surely cost Man U a shot at the historic four peat.

You can sum up Man U’s performance in two words- you stink.

Nil-nil ties were the order of the day.

Liverpool had a chance to stay within striking distance of Man City but no the Reds blew it big time at home in Anfield. Liverpool and Fulham tied nil-nil.

Sure big time scorer Fernando Torres was absent but jeez give me a break will someone step to the plate and find the back of net.

Not on this day.

Liverpool dominated play but what good does that do if you can’t hit pay dirt.

You can stick a fork in the Reds chances of returning to the Champions League.

Manchester City took care of business against Birmingham winning 5-1.

Emmanuel Adebayor hit the daily double-43^rd and 88^th minutes.

Carlos Tevez scored via the PK route in the 43^rd minute.

Mate Nedum Onuoha had the twin kill as well too- 40^th and 73^rd minutes.

Wolves and Stoke City kissed their sister nada-nada.

Manchester City now has a four-point lead over Tottenham in the race for fourth place in the EPL.

Man City has 62 points. Tottenham has 58 with a game in hand. Spurs take on my guys from Arsenal on Wednesday.

We need a huge “W” just like Tottenham does.

Do you believe in miracles?

You are not going to believe this. Send em packing from the EPL Pompey pulled a huge upset 2-0 win over Tottenham in the FA Cup semis.

Portsmouth needed extra time to score twice to send the Spurs packing.

Frederick Piquionne ripped the twines in the 99^th minute.
Mate Kevin –Prince Boateng added a PK in the 117^th minute to send Pompey to the finals of the FA Cup where they will face Chelsea.

The Hammers may have saved their season. Yes, sir re Bob West Ham came away with a huge 1-0 win over Sunderland.

Brasilian striker Aruajo Ilan ripped the twines in the 51^st minute for the only tally of the match.

Ilan was inserted into the lineup last week against Everton. His goal earned the Hammers a much needed one all tie with the Toffees.

That goal earned Ilan a staring role. He responded with the match winner.

The win lifted the Hammers into 16^th place with 31 points.

Burnley ripped Hull City 4-1.

The win enabled the Clarets to pull even with the Tigers.

Both sides have 27 points apiece.

Hull City opened up the match with a nifty goal by Kevin Kilbane in the 3^rd minute.

The Clarets responded by scoring the next four goals to win going away 4-1.

Burnley’s Graham Alexander hit for the daily double via the PK route in the 65^th and 70^th minute.

Even though the Tigers lost, they have a game in hand. This game in hand will surely come into play.

So, what else is new. Chelsea ripped Aston Villa 3-0 in semifinals of the FA Cup.

Didier Drogba, Florent  Malouda, and Frank Lampard rammed the twines to lead the Blues in the massacre of Villa.

The more things change the more they stay the same.

Chelsea will have an FA Cup Finals date with either Tottenham or Portsmouth. The Spurs and Pompey will play on Sunday.

The bad news for Portsmouth is this. Pompey was given their walking papers from the EPL.

Not much is happening in The EPL on Saturday. Only two matches will take place. Hull City battles Burnley. West Ham and Sunderland will duke it out.

These two matches are of extreme importance to Hull City, West Ham, and Burnley.

The Hammers, the Tigers, and the Clarets are on the verge of extinction in The EPL.

If either the Clarets or the Tigers win this baby, the loser will have a fork stuck in their chances staying afloat in The EPL.

One of the FA Cup semifinals will be happening as well too on Saturday.

Chelsea and Aston Villa have a hot date at Wembley Stadium.

Last time out the Blues killed Villa 7-2. Will we have a repeat of the massacre?

We will find out real quick.

If I were, a betting man bet the house on Chelsea.

Chelsea will then turn around and battle Bolton on Tuesday April 13. Oh yes, for we are in nut cutting time.

When the mighty boys from Old Trafford got the heave-hoe from the Champions League, be a force to be reckoned with? 

All the Red Devils have worry about is the EPL title race.

Rooney and the guys will be well rested when they take on Blackburn on Sunday.

Will this tilt the title in the Red Devils way?

We will see.

My guys from Arsenal will be off until Wednesday. We will take on Tottenham. The Spurs have a hot FA Cup semifinal match with Portsmouth

The Reds may have stuck a fork in their dreams of making it  back to the Champions League. Liverpool and Birmingham kissed their sister one all. This is not good garoto.

Liverpool tickled the twines first.

Steven Gerrard ripped a winner just this side of the second half to put Liverpool up 1-0 after the 47^th minute.

Gerrard was in the right place at the right time.

Mate Glen Johnson ripped a salvo. The shot was miles from the goal but the ball found Gerrard who knocked home the gift.

Blues found the answer in the 52^nd minute.

Birmingham defender Liam Ridgewell leveled this sucker when he gathered in a cross from mate James McFadden. McFadden lifted the melon just over the Liverpool defenders. Ridgewell flicked home winner to send the Reds dreams of Champions League glory crashing into flames.

Five matches are left in the Reds season. Liverpool needs to run the table and hope City and Spurs both stumble big time.

Everton and West Ham tied two all.

The Hammers fell behind twice and each time West Ham found the answer.

The Hammers were able to crack the code.

Arguajo Ilan’s goal in the 87^th minute may have saved West Ham from getting the heave-hoe.

Fulham doubled up Wigan 2-1.

The Cottagers fell behind 1-0 to Wigan. Fulham scored two-second half goals to eek out the win.

Stefano Okaka hit for pay dirt in the 47^th minute.

Brede Hangeland scored the match winner in the 58^th minute.

Top Dog is Chelsea with 74 big ones. Man U is a step behind with 72 points. Arsenal is three points back at 71.

The race is one.

Five matches left.

Yes, sir re Bob, we are in for a huge dogfight.

You gotta love it.

City has a leg up in the race for the final Champions League spot. Man City is in fourth place with 59 points Spurs are in fifth place with 58 points. The Reds are in sixth place with 55.

Both City and Tottenham have a game in hand.

The Heave-hoe zone looks like this.

Pompey is dead last with 14 points. Portsmouth is outta here.

Burnley is in 19^th place with 24 points. Hull City is in 18^th place with 27 points.

West Ham is in grave danger of getting the heave-hoe. The Hammers are in 17^th place with 28 points.

Wigan is in 16^th place with 31 points.

Bolton is in 15^th place with 32 points.
