Arsenal started out like a house on fire. Pressure baby. It was pure pressure the Gunners have applied on FC Porto.

We have been rewarded.

Samir Nasri fired a great ball into the goalmouth. This through ball forced keeper Helton to come out and protect the goal. Helton and two other defenders collide with each other as Arshavin attempts to shoot. The ball squirms free. Nicklas Bendtner pokes home the garbage in the 10^th minute.

Arsenal is up 1-0.

This is huge.

If the scored stays this way, the Gunners are on to the next round.

Who says we are going to be hurt by the absence of Cesc Fabregas.

Nicklas Bendtner has hit for the daily double in the 25^th minute.

Yes, sir re Bob, we are off and running. This goal was set up by a TO baby. FC Porto defender Fucile fired a pass right to Arshavin. This give away gave Andre Arshavin all the room he needed to slide the ball across the goal crease to the open Bendtner.

Walla the naked net.

Score this one for Bendtner.

Arshavin made the three Porto defenders look like schoolgirls.

I love it.

The guys have sucked it up and showed what the Gunners are made of.

Vince Lombardi said, “When the going gets tough the tough get going.”

Arsenal is as tough as nails.

We had a tiny let down. The Gunners let FC Porto’s the Hulk take it to the rack but Manuel Almunia stopped em cold.

Just like that, we scored two goals in a span of three minutes to put this sucker outta reach.

Samir Nasri was one on three. He made the FC Porto defenders look silly. Nasri ripped the twines in the 63^rd minute to give the Gunners a 3-nil lead.

He shot was a tight angled shot that ripped the far post.

Arshavin steals the ball off a corner kick by FC Porto.  He dribbles drives up the pitch. Arshavin hits a streaking Eboue. Eboue flat out beats the keeper to score a gimmie goal in the 66^th minute.

Hey, mister keeper Helton here is your jock back.

It is 5-0 Arsenal.

Dandy Don Meredith is singing turn out the lights the party’s over.

Let’s hope all hell doesn’t break loose between now and the end of the match. We are in like Flynn to the quarterfinals of the Champions League.

Just a little bit of salt in the wound is added in the 90^th minute. FC Porto’s Fucile shows his frustration by tacking Eboue in the box.

Up stepped the main man Nicklas Bendtner. It is a hat trick for Bendtner. He nails the PK to put Porto out of their misery 4-0.

This was a total take me to the woodshed whopping administered by Arsenal to FC Porto.

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 2^nd.

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.

Just when it looked like Man U was dead in the water, the Red Devils raised up like the Phoenix from the ashes of their own self-destruction. Man U pulled a rabbit out of their hat and scored a huge 3-2 come from behind win over AC Milan.

This was a huge win baby. These three away goals will surely kill AC Milan’s chances of advancing in the Champions League but anything is possible. So don’t count your chickens before they are hatched.

Super Brasilian head case Ronaldinho served notice that AC Milan was not going to take any crap from the boys from Old Trafford.

Ronaldinho knocked home a brilliant free kick from mate David Beckham in the 3^rd minute.

Beckham nailed the free kick right to Ronaldinho. Ronaldinho one timed the shot. It went wham bam right off of Man U defender Michael Carrick. Red Devils keeper Edwin van der Sar never had a chance.

AC Milan kept up the pressure on the fragile Man U defense.

Man U was able to keep the mounting pressure at bay until lady luck shown on the boys from Old Trafford.

Darren Fletcher fired a wicked low cross into the AC Milan goal crease. Paul Scholes stuck his leg out. Buda Bing Buda boom, it was all knotted at one all in the 36^th minute.

Man U was thoroughly out played in the first half.

Enter the second half and oh, what a relief it is.

The Rooney man, Wayne Rooney hit for the daily double to end AC Milan’s hopes of winning in their house.

Valencia whipped a cross into the goal area. Wayne Rooney showed some serious hops, He out leaped AC Milan defender Daniele Bonera. Rooney’s header went flying past the helpless keeper Dida to give Man U a 2-1 lead in the 65^th minute.

Rooney ripped the twines in the 74^th minute to take the starch out of AC Milan.

Rooney’s goal was the result of a sublime counter attack by Man U. Zoom-zoom Darren Fletcher goes flying down the other end of the pitch. Rooney gained the needed separation from Milan defense. And just like that, it was 3-1 Man U.

AC Milan scores a cosmetic goal in the 85^thminute by Clarence Seedorf.

The final score Man U 3 and AC Milan 2.

This was the first goal Man U has scored at AC Milan in many a moon.

Now what did I say about the fake Ronaldo being a wimp when it comes to nut cutting time. He didn’t show up against the French side Lyon.

Cristiano Ronaldo miss fired all match long. 

Jeez maybe he should join the masons.

Real Madrid lost to Lyon 1-0 on French soil.
Jean Makoun fired home the only goal of the match in the 47^th minute.

Now let’s hope Arsenal scores against Porto on Wednesday.

We need the goals guys.

Go get em Gunners.
