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.

Gunner for life.

There are some huge match ups this weekend. My guys from Arsenal have a hot date with Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Sunday.

We have to win this sucker.

The Gunners cannot afford to drop more points.

The Blues are almost unbeatable at home.

According to www.arsenal.com the Blues are bigger and stronger-Carlo Ancelotti’s team will have a significant height and weight advantage – a recent study showed their players are on average two stones heavier than Arsenal – but Wenger does not believe that is decisive.

Wenger also added- “It will certainly give an indication of the strengths of the two sides, that is for sure,” said the Frenchman.

“It’s not too early because it is a confrontation between two top teams. I don’t think it is a decisive game but it is a good indicator about the strengths in the Premier League.”

This is a pure big time match between two of the top clubs in the EPL.

Manchester United battles Sunderland at the Stadium of Light.

The road has been very unkind to the boys from Old Trafford.

Man U needs a big time victory in this sucker.

Tottenham has a hot fate with Aston Villa at Spurs house White Hart Lane.

City takes on Newcastle on Sunday.

This should be a good tussel but Man City should win hands down.

This is it from the EPL side.

Gunner nation rise up and kick some major butt.

What did I tell ya. Sure, it came to the final week of the season before Chelsea was crowned champ.

We all knew when the Blues beat Liverpool the title was theirs.

Chelsea killed Wigan 8-0.

Man U ended the season in second place one point shy of top dog Chelsea.

The mighty boys from Old Trafford clobbered Stoke City 4-0.

My guys from Arsenal finally did it. We won big time over Fulham 4-0 to secure third place for us.

Tottenham took the foot off the pedal and lost to Burnley 4-2. Spurs took a commanding 2-0 lead but couldn’t hold on to the lead.

The Clarets are heading down but they shocked Tottenham by scoring the final four goals of the match.

This was a huge win for the heave-hoe Clarets.

Headed outta here are Portsmouth, Hull City and Burnley.

Chelsea stopped Man U from a historic four-peat. This keeps in tack the fact that no EPL side has won four straight titles.

The Blues had 86 points.

Man U had 85.

The difference the mighty boys from Old Trafford has one more home loss than the Blues.

Chelsea had one home loss. Man U had two.

The Blues had one more road tie than Manchester United.

Chelsea had four. Man U had three.

Wayne Rooney and Didier Drogba both tied for most goals with 26.

The final curtain comes down on another EPL season.

Chelsea won the title but the Blues need to find younger players for their older stars.

The Blues window for more titles is slowly winding down.

Both Man U and my guys from Arsenal should be favorites to win next years title.

The surprise of the season was Tottenham clinching the fourth spot in the Champions League.

Most folks thought it would be either Arsenal or Liverpool.

The biggest stink job of the season Liverpool.

The wheels completely came off the wagon.

The Reds finished seventh with 63 points.

Liverpool had eleven losses on the season.

The title for the most money spent with nothing to show for it goes to Man City.

The crybaby award goes to Carlos Tevez.

Tevez left Man U to City for a fat paycheck.

Now he is crying the blues.

The Carlos man has no title to show for his fat wallet.

He wants outta here.

Sir Alex knew what he was doing when he gave Tevez the voce vai.

I can’t wait for next year.

This is a very sad weekend for all us futebol junkies. The EPL season is ending on Sunday. Chelsea should be crowned champion unless something really crazy happens.

Man U had a great run at the historic four-peat but the boys from Old Trafford came up a nickel or so short.

My guys from Arsenal gave up on the season the last two weeks. This could us cost third place if we don’t win on Sunday.

If Spurs win and we lose, there will be all kinds of hell to paid. I don’t want to be in the locker room if this happens.

I guarantee you Fabianski and company will be drawn, shot, and quartered by Arsene Wenger.

Spurs were the surprise team of the EPL.

No one expected Harry and the boys to claim the final spot in the Champions League and have a real shot at finishing third.

Man City spent millions to buy a title.

NOT!

Real Madrid também.

NADA!

Money helps but you have to have the right chemistry.

Chelsea is getting older. This will be their last hurrah.

Drogba and company is getting older.

The Blues window is rapidly closing.

Chelsea doesn’t have any younger players waiting in the wings.

Man U and Arsenal are set for a long time.

Why?

They have the younger players that are ready to step in.

Yes, my guys from Gunner land will be a team to be reckoned with next season.

What did I tell you about this year being a wild and crazy season in the EPL.

Not to gloat but I will.

I said since August 2009 that the race for title will come down to the final week.

I was right. 

This crazy and dumb Yank knows more that he lets on.

I do know futebol.

Trust me.

I am sad the EPL will be over but at the same time the Campeonato de Brasil is beginning this Sunday.

Lets see if my beloved Flamengo can pull off the daily double.

I doubt it but I am hoping.

This American is a Flamenguista through and through.

Mengao takes on the evil empire Sao Paulo on Sunday.

Lets hope the idiots can fight through the mess, pull together, and play for the new coach.

World Cup is on the way baby.

GO BRASIL.

Except for a small blip in the 16^th minute Man City was in total control. City defeated Aston Villa 3-1.

This loss kills Villa’s chances of making it to the Champions League.

Villa drew first blood on a great counter attack. John Carew ripped the twines to give Villa the early 1-nil lead.

Man City kept up the pressure. The pressure finally got to Aston Villa when City’s Adam Johnson was taken down in the right side of the box.

Carlos Tevez powered the PK past Villa keeper Brad Friedel in the 41^st to tie this baby up at one all.

Fifteen seconds later Villa’s John Carew hit a perfect shot. It went clang off the cross bar.

City whamo bamo flies down the other end of the pitch. Emmanuel Adebayor hits a winner in the 43^rd minute to give City a huge 2-1 lead.

Villa tried to mount a comeback but Man City was too strong.

Craig Bellamy’s strike in the 89^th minute sealed the deal for City.

Tottenham kept pace by beating Bolton 1-0.

Tom Huddlestone hit for pay dirt in the 38^th minute for Spurs.

Tottenham hangs on the final Champions League with the win on Saturday.

Spurs have 67 points. City has 66.

With Villa losing, this drops them to sixth place with 64 points.

The final Champions League will probably come down to Spurs City’s match on Wednesday May 5^th.

Can you say for all the marbles?

The winner should nail down the final spot.

At the other end of the spectrum, Burnley was given their walking papers.

Birmingham doubled up on The Clarets 2-1.

Voce vai Burnley.

Portsmouth picked a win over Wolverhampton 3-1.

This was a nice win for the heave-hoe team Pompey.

So far, Burnley and Portsmouth are outta here.

Hull City will probably get the axe on Sunday.

West Ham is in 17^th place with 34 points.

The Tigers have 28 points.

We are in the stretch run in the EPL. Manchester United, Chelsea, Liverpool, and Arsenal have two matches left.

Chelsea and Man U are locked in a death match to see which side will win the EPL crown.

Chelsea is top dog with 80 points. Man U has 79.

Fire up the Afro burners baby the race is surely on.

The mighty Red Devils are going for the historic four-peat.

By Sunday afternoon, we will have a good idea on who will have the inside track to win the title.

Liverpool takes on the Blues at Anfield on Sunday. The Red Devils need to have the Reds beat Chelsea if not Chelsea will win the title.

The mighty boys from Old Trafford travel to the Stadium of Light to take on Sunderland. Sunday too.

Rooney will surely be out so the waste of a strike Berbatov must find the back of the bet. A blind squirrel can find an acorn every so often. The Red Devils need to him find the back of the net.

Nani and the gang need to step up as well.

The Reds need to be on the top of their game if they want to derail the Blues. Liverpool has an outside chance to secure the final Champions League spot but several things must happen.

Tottenham takes on Bolton on Saturday. Tottenham needs to run the table to hold on the final spot.

Man City has a hot date with Aston Villa. Villa has 64 points. The same as Spurs but  Tottenham has a better goal difference. A plus 24 compared to a plus 16.

City is a point back at 63.

Liverpool has 62 points.

Yikes, this tighter than a size forty-eight man trying to squeeze into a size thirty pair of pants.

My guys Arsenal still have a long shot of chance to win the title however both the Blues and Man U need to blow it big time.

We have a date with Blackburn on Monday.

Three points are a must for the Gunners.

Manchester United has done it. The Red Devils defeated Tottenham 3-1 at Old Trafford minus Wayne Rooney. The Rooney man is out at least three weeks said headman Sir Alex.

Rooney has an injured groin.

Ouch, that hurts.

This did not deter Man U. Ryan Giggs nailed two PK’s in the 58^th and 85^th minutes. Nani nailed a perfect looping shot over the keepers Gomes head in the 81^st minute to send the Red Devils to a much needed win.

This squarely puts the pressure on Chelsea to beat Stoke City on Sunday.

Spurs needed this win badly too. But Tottenham could not find the answer after Nani’s goal in the 81^st minute.

A great pass by youngster Federico Macheda set up Nani’s goal.

This loss could have cost Tottenham the final berth in the Champions League.

This will all depend on how the match turns out between my guys Arsenal and Manchester City later today.

Man U is now top dog with 79 points.

The Mighty boys from Old Trafford have two matches left.

Oh what a relief it is.

Spurs have a two-point lead over City. This could change after today.

Both City and Spurs have a game in hand. They will play their game in hand against each other on May 5^th.

You gotta love it.

It may come down to this match to decide who gets the final Champions League spot.

This was not the result we were looking for. Arsenal and City kissed their sister nil-nil. Both sides had limited chances.

For my perspective, it looked like we were playing not to lose. It was good to see Van Persie back in the lineup.

The Gunners seemed just out of synch. We had a majority of the possessions but Arsenal could not connect.

Real scoring chances were few and far between.

A tie is cool but we need the big “W”.

Van Persie played okay. He needed to get his sea legs.

He’s got em.

I am I happy with the result no but I will take it.

Tottenham can thank their lucky stars that City didn’t pull off the upset win.

Spurs can breath a little bit easier.

Tottenham has 64 points. City is a point back at 63. Villa has 61 points and the Reds have 59 points.

Villa entertains Birmingham and Liverpool battles Burnley on Sunday.

If both sides can win, the race for the final Champions League spot will be a real logjam.

West Ham scored a late goal to lift the Hammers past Wigan 3-2.

The Hammers are six points clear of the drop zone.

Portsmouth is outta here.

Burnley and Hull City looks like they might get their tickets punched as well.

We will see.

Hull City lost to Sunderland 1-0.

I don’t see Burnley pulling off upset city against the Reds.

Stranger things have happened.

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.

Saturday there are some huge matches that will decided how the race for the title and the final Champions League would shake out.

Gentlemen started your engines.

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.
