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.

Let’s hope my guys can keep up the pressure and get the final Champions League spot.

Seventeen points separate my Gunners from the main man City.

Gunner for life.

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.

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.

They trail Bolton by two points so you know the Rovers will play balls to the wall.

The Wanderers take on Norwich City the Canaries house.

City is at home against Fulham.

The biggie takes place on Sunday when Man U Chelsea battle at Stamford Bridge.

Gunner and Flamenguista for life.

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.

Man U has won eight out of their last ten Premier matches.

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.

Liverpool is on a hot streak.

Andy Carroll and Craig Bellamy ripped the twines as well.

The big news of the day was this. Man City was whitewashed at Goodison Park. The Toffees beat the bad boys from Man City 1-0.

Landon Donovan set up the only goal of the match.

The Yank hit him with a perfect pass. Darren Gibson slammed home the winner in the 60^th minute.

The Citizens were completely outplayed on this night.

Spurs blasted Wigan 3-1.

Tottenham is now back in the title hunt.

Gareth Bale hit the daily lotto twice.

Luka Modric added a tummy tickler in the 34^th minute.

The Blues down a man came back to get the equalizer on a own goal by the Swans Neil Taylor in the 93^rd minute.

River Plate was sent packing for the first time in their illustrious futebol history. Los Millionaires is the most decorated futebol club in Argentinos history now River Plate is hanging out in the Nacional B.

River Plate is making a long climb out of outer Siberia. Los Millionaires is in second place in Primera Nacional B with 33 points. Instituto is top dog with 35 points.

The top two clubs will get a get outta jail free card. So far River Plate is in second place.

Los Millionaires next match is against Chacarita Juniors on February 4^th.

River Plate had won 33 domestic titles, five international crowns- two Copa Libertadores titles, one International Cup (FIFA World Club title), one Super Copa Sudamericana crown, and one Copa Interamercana title.

The club was founded in 1901. Now River Plate is attempting to get back to where they belong with big boys.

What killed Los Millionaires was their 75 million dollar debt. Former President Jose Maria Aguilar was fired and Daniel Pasarella replaced him. Shortly thereafter when River Plate was given the heave-hoe manager Juan Jose Lopez resigned.

Matias Almeyda is now River Plate’s manager.

So far so good for Los Millionaires.

The F A Cup is the talk of the town this weekend in England. The headline match is Liverpool-Man U battle. This puppy will be played at the Reds house Anfield.

Liverpool is coming off a huge win over Man City to advance to the finals of the Carling Cup.

This will be the first of two matches. If either one wins the loser is sent packing.

The last time these two clubs met Reds Luis Suarez was given an eight-match ban for racial comments he made to Red Devils Patrice Evra.

Both managers are trying to down play this incident.

Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish said this – We want to concentrate on going out and playing football and any other sideshow is purely that, it is just a sideshow.”

“Everyone has a responsibility to uphold the names of their respective club and anyone who reports or comments on the game also has the responsibility to make sure they are not trying to incite trouble. But it is not only the fans who have to behave themselves; we have a responsibility to behave – but that is the case every time.”

Sir Alex said this – “It is a massive game for both clubs. There is a tremendous profile on it and will be interest throughout the country. As Steven Gerrard said, there is a responsibility on the players to behave properly. That is what I expect my players to do.”

FA Cup play on Friday saw Everton defeat Fulham 2-1. The Cottagers drew first blood when the Toffees John Heitinga touched the ball in the box. Fulham’s Danny Murphy nailed the PK in the 15^th minute for a 1-0 Cottagers lead.

Everton found the answer in the 27^th minute.

Danny Stracualursi nailed the winner to level this sucker at one all.

The Toffees hit the match winner in the 73^rd minute. Marouane Fellaini noodled home the winner. A great cross into the box by Landon Donovan set up this puppy.

Everton is on to the next round.

Tottenham escaped with a tough 1-0 win over Watford.

Rafael Vander Vaart scored the match winner in the 42^nd minute.

Spurs are on to the next round.

Championship side Watford gave Spurs all they could handle. The Hornets rattled the cages twice but couldn’t push the ball across the finish line.

Here are few of the matches taking place in the FA Cup later today.

Chelsea is at Queens Park Rangers.

Brighton entertains Newcastle.

Derby County-Stoke City.

West Brom- Norwich City.

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.”

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.
