My guys from Arsenal are up to their old tricks on the road. Way to snatch a tie from the jaws of victory.
Darren Bent’s goal in the 95th minute gave Sunderland a one all tie with Arsenal.
Cesc Fabregas scored on a failed clearance attempt by Black Cats defender Anton Ferdinand. The ball went whamo bamo into the back of the net past an astonished keeper Simon Mignolet in the 13th minute.
Then the Gunners reverted to their stupid old losing ways on the road.
A dumb red card by defender Alex Song in the 55th minute and a missed PK by Tomas Rosicky in the 74th minute killed us.
These two events cost Gunner nation the much-needed three points.
Road wins are a must if we are to win the EPL.
Man U last week failed to hold a lead against Everton and now my guys this week against Sunderland did the same thing. This kind of crap may kill our chances to win the title.
A tie is okay but road wins are a must.
This type of BS happened way to much last year now we are repeating it again this year.
This sucks big time.
Spurs picked up a huge 3-1 win over Wolves.
This win will keep Tottenham in the hunt for the Champions league spot.

Three matches into the EPL season and now we have our first international break. The action resumes September 12th after a two week break.
On Sunday, Liverpool finally picked up a 1-0 win over West Brom.
Super striker for the Reds Fernando Torres scored the only match of the goal in the 65th minute.
Torres is still not a 100%. He has had two major knee operations plus a pulled hammy in Spain’s World Cup final match in July.
His score showed how great this player is. Torres shifed ball the ball and fired the volley into the back of the net.
Game, set, and match to Liverpool.
This was a huge three points for the Reds.
Aston Villa defeated Everton 1-0.
In the battle of American keepers Tim Howard and Brad Friedel, Friedel had the best of it.
Tim Howard made two lights out saves but this was not enough to over come crappy defense by the Toffees.
The score of the match came in the 9th minute.
Luke Young received a great pass from mate Ashley Young. Luke Young fired home the winner past a helpless Tim Howard.
Toffees defender Marouane Fellaini let the ball slip under his feet. Whamo, bamo turnover. Goal for Villa.
Not good Garoto.

This could spell doom for the Toffees.

Man U came out smoking in the second half but the Red Devils could not find the back of the net.

Yes Drogba was clearly off sides but the ref said no way baby.
The goal stands.
There was no quit in the Man U dog.
Federico Macheda nailed a great shot in the 81st minute to make this sucker close at 2-1.

The Wayne Man was out. Without Rooney Man U stinks.
This harsh but it is the truth.
Chelsea dominated in the first half.
The Red Devils applied the pressure in the second half but they couldn’t crack the code.
Rooney was the missing link.
Dimitar Berbatov had four great scoring chances. He blew them big time.
Man U has now seven losses on the season. The mighty men of Old Trafford have two home losses.
Is this a dagger to the heart of Man U’s dreams of a four peat?
Time will tell.
There are five matches left.
Did the Champions League mid week tussle with Bayern Munich take the wind of the Red Devils sails?
Yes. Rooney went down
Ouch, that hurts.
My Gunners escaped by the hair of their chinny chin-chin when Nicholas Bendtner knocked home the winner in the dying moments (90th minute) of the match to lift Arsenal past a very scrappy Wolverhampton 1-0 at our house Emirates.
Bendtner’s goal saved our title chances.
If this baby ended in a tie, we could have kissed our title hopes bye-bye.
The shocker of the day was Sunderland taking it to Tottenham 3-1.
This was a classic ass kicking.
Before the Spurs could catch their breath, the Black Cats were up 2-nil.
Sunderland missed two gimmie PK’s by Darren Bent in the 41st and 62nd minutes.
It should have been 5-1.
But hey, this will do in a pinch for the Black Cats are hovering right around mid table.

My main man Harry woke up. Redknapp started Jermain Defoe and this paid great dividends for Tottenham. Spurs handled West Ham. Tottenham shut em out 2-0.
Goals by Luka Modric in the 11th minute and Defoe’s powerful volley off his own miss in the 81st sealed the deal for Spurs.
I just love Defoe’s goal. This showed what kind of a player this cat is. He is the real deal.
Defoe received a great pass from teammate Aaron Lennon. Defoe dribbled through three West Ham defenders. He angles to the center of the pitch. He was just above the half circle when he stopped and popped. The keeper Robert Green blocked the shot. The rebound came straight back to Defoe. He nailed the one time volley. This was all she wrote baby.
Jermain Defoe also had a hand in the Modric’s goal too.
I don’t get this. Instead of six points, Spurs only wind up with four points.
Harry me boy this is dumb but you’re the manager not me.
This is why they pay you the big bucks.
To make dumb decisions like this I guess.
The Blues almost stubbed their toes but eked out a 2-1 win over Fulham.
Zoltan Green gave the visitors a 1-0 lead after four minutes. Green’s lethal shot flat out beat the keeper Petr Cech.
Drogba found the equalizer in the 73rd minute. Drogba’s header was deadly.
Two minutes later, the Cottagers succumbed to the pressure when Chris Smalling’s own goal in the 75th minute saved the Blues hide.
I don’t care what Ancelotti tells us the slump is not over. The Blues were as lucky as sin to win this baby. They played like crap.
It could get worse when Drogba, Kalou, and the rest leave for the Africans Cup in January.
Chelsea is a hurting puppy.
This win gives the Blues only two wins in their last six outings.
This is not good.
Birmingham got by Stoke City 1-0.
Blackburn and Sunderland tied at two all.
The first half was a dud but the second half was full of fireworks. Both the Rovers and the Black Cats put on an offensive display.
Darren Bent had the daily double for Sunderland.
Pederson and Diouf ripped the twines for Blackburn.
You gotta love it.
It looks like the guys at Manchester City will play Mancini. City destroyed Wolverhampton 3-0.
Carlos Tevez had the daily double. This cat can flat out take to the rack. Both of Tevez’s goals showed his real passion and power for the game.
Watch out for City looks like they are ready to make a run at the top four.
City is tied with Villa on points. Both sides each have 35 points But Aston Villa is ahead on goal difference. Villa has a plus 13-goal difference. City is a plus 12.
Oh baby shuffle the cards and lest see where the chips fall.
