Sao Paulo is top dog in the Serie A. Tricolor the evil empire is a perfect 5-0. The Paulistas have 15 points.

Second place belongs to Palmeiras with 11 points.

Alviverde has three wins and two draws.

Corinthians is in third place with ten points.

Timao has three wins, one draw and one loss.

Mengao is in 10^th place with seven points.

The boo Flamengo has one win and four draws.

Eight points separate the top ten places.

The difference between Rubro-Negro and the evil empire is ties.

Mengao has four ties while Sao Paulo has five wins.

Flamengo has lost 11 points while Tricolor has gotten the maximum number of points.

Ties and losses kill a clubs title chances.

Only Palmeiras has score more goals then Mengao.

Alviverde has scored ten goals.

Flamengo has scored nine and Sao Paulo has scored nine.

In our last four matches we have given up late leads or have not dented the scoreboard and thus results in Mengao buried in tenth place.

This is Déjà vu all over again.

Flamengo finished in 14^th place with 44 points. Five points separated the 18^th place Guarani-SP and 14^th place Mengao. 

This bull crap needs to stop now.

Mengao had a chance for the win but the million dollar man Ronaldinho Gaucho did a choke city on a PK in the 49^th minute.

Instead, Flamengo and Macae tied one all.

UOL put it this way- Uma bobeada no segundo tempo e um pênalti perdido por Ronaldinho nos acréscimos tirou do Flamengo o adversário preferencial na semifinal da Taça Rio. Neste domingo, com um gol do zagueiro Jean, o Rubro-Negro vencia o Macaé por 1 a 0, em Volta Redonda, até os 33 minutos da etapa final, quando Hyantony empatou para o Macaé. Aos 49, Ronaldinho teve a chance da vitória, mas isolou um pênalti a favor do Flamengo e o Olaria deixou de estar no caminho do clube.

UOL further wrote- O resultado manteve a invencibilidade de 21 jogos da equipe na temporada, porém, agora o Flamengo terá pela frente o clássico contra o Fluminense, no próximo domingo, às 16h, no Engenhão, pela semifinal da competição. Mesmo assim, o time está a 180 minutos de conquistar o título carioca de forma antecipada e invicta, feito que não acontece desde 1996.

Rubro-Negro’s unbeaten string in is now at 22 matches.

Jean scored the only marker for Mengao in the 57^th minute.

The tie keeps Flamengo in the second spot in Group One.

Rubro-Negro has 16 points while Vasco is top dog with 17 points.

It is now on to the semifinals for the Mengao guys.

My Flamengo guys will battle Fluminense in one of the semifinals on Sunday April 23^rd.

Let’s hope when the real season begins in May Ronaldinho Gaucho and company will be ready.

Mengao had a chance to move to the top spot in Group A of the Taca Rio. Instead, the boo-Mengao gave up an own goal by Wellington and survived against lower side Madureira to stay with in striking distance of top dog Vasco.

UOL put it this way- O futebol ainda está longe do esperado pelo torcedor, mas os resultados seguem ajudando e o Flamengo permanece invicto na temporada. Neste domingo, após um primeiro tempo sofrível, o Rubro-Negro chegou a perder por dois gols de diferença, mas conseguiu empatar em 3 a 3 com o Madureira, em Macaé. Welinton (contra), Michel e Baiano marcaram para o Tricolor Suburbano. Léo Moura, Deivid e Thiago Neves fizeram os gols do Flamengo.

UOL stated further-Com 9 pontos, o Rubro-Negro está em quatro lugar no Grupo A da Taça Rio e ainda briga pela classificação às semifinais. Na próxima rodada, o time do técnico Vanderlei Luxemburgo enfrenta o Duque de Caxias, sábado, às 18h30, no Engenhão. Já o Madureira enfrenta o América, também no sábado, às 15h30, em Conselheiro Galvão.

Ronaldinho Gaucho and Thiago Neves returned to service after serving their one match ban.

Both players were instrumental in Rubro-Negro’s return from the brink of defeat against lower side Madureira.

Trailing 3-1, Rubro-Negro staged a huge comeback in the final twenty-five minutes.

Ronaldinho Gaucho dribble drive down the left sideline set up the goal by Leo Moura in the 74^th minute.

Ronaldinho Gaucho spilt the “D “ and lay off a great pass past the outstretched fingertips of keeper Cleber to eager feet of Moura.

In the 82^nd minute Thiago Neves dialed up a long-range bomb that exploded into the back of net.

Mengao hasn’t lost a match in the Carioca Campeonato.

Embora longe do ideal, o Rubro-Negro mantém a invencibilidade na temporada e ainda briga para chegar às semifinais da Taça Rio e evitar uma decisão de Campeonato Carioca em dois jogos.

With the tie, Flamengo drops to fourth place in Group A with nine points.

Vasco is in the pole position with 10 points. Boavista-RJ is in second place with 10 points. America-RJ is third with 10 points também.

Vasco is a plus four. Boavista-RJ is a plus three while America-RJ is a minus one.

Wins are a must for Mengao if we want to make to the semi-finals.

Ronaldinho Gaucho celebrated his 31^st birthday with friends at huge party. He partied hardy for two days and then returned to training.

Ronaldinho Gaucho was given the heave-hoe from Sunday’s match against Cabofriense. His absence couple with Thiago Neves getting the heave-hoe também cost us dearly.

It was only tie but it could have been worse.

Globo Esporte wrote it this way- Ronaldinho Gaúcho demonstrou fôlego para apagar as velas pelos seus 31 anos. Depois de dois dias de folga e uma grande festa que varou a madrugada e se estendeu durante toda segunda-feira, dia do seu aniversário, o camisa 10 se reapresentou na tarde desta terça no Ninho do Urubu, em Vargem Grande (Zona Oeste do Rio). O jogador fez musculação por aproximadamente 20 minutos e depois, sob chuva, foi para o campo correr durante 15 minutos. E pisou um pouco no freio.

UOL put it this way- Quase dois dias de festa, samba, funk e muita diversão. Foi assim que Ronaldinho comemorou o seu aniversário, de 31 anos, no domingo e segunda-feira. Mesmo com todos os efeitos da maratona, o elenco voltou aos treinos na tarde desta terça-feira, no CT Ninho do Urubu, em Vargem Grande, Zona Oeste do Rio de Janeiro. Os jogadores realizaram uma atividade física. Na manhã de quarta-feira, o treinamento será realizado na Praia da Barra da Tijuca.

Up next, for Mengao is Madureira on Sunday March 27^th.

This is a must win sucker for Rubro-Negro.

My friend Tophatal got it right once again. He wrote in his blog that Man U was in the deep shits financially.

Check this story out- written by ESPN- The parent company that owns Manchester United has announced a loss of £108.9 million for last year.

Red Football Joint Venture – owned by the Glazer family – revealed the figure for the year ending June 30, 2010 in their accounts, which also include a number of one-off payments, according to files submitted to Companies House. One of those was the cost of setting up a £526 million bond scheme to provide the American owners with cash in the short-term to service a number of outstanding debts.

While the previous year’s results revealed a profit of £21 million, payment in kind (PIK) loans that have since been paid off were also a contributing cause for the downturn in fortunes. A lack of notable player sales has also been blamed – in 2010 the club could include the £80 million departure of Cristiano Ronaldo as part of their trading.

United’s own club accounts were published in October and revealed losses of £83.6 million. At the time chief executive David Gill remained upbeat about financial matters at Old Trafford.

“We have money in the bank so there is zero pressure on that, no pressure at all to sell any star player,” Gill said at the time. “We have £165 million in the bank but in some ways we would prefer to have £80 million in the bank and Ronaldo on the pitch.”

Sir Alex Ferguson could be set to rebuild his side in the summer, with Manuel Neuer, David de Gea, Javier Pastore and Jack Rodwell all linked with the club in recent weeks. And, even in light of the financial news, Ferguson has been assured he will have money to spend.

A source told ESPNsoccernet: “There have been suggestions that the club are financially handicapped in some way with the latest accounts of the club’s parent company showing more than a £100 million loss for the year, but they are exceptional circumstances.

“There is £165 million cash in the bank, and even as we stand the club would pass UEFA’s fair financial play rules. No one is saying Sir Alex is going to spend all the cash in the bank, but he is going to replace a number of star players, and that is not going to come cheap. If he wishes to spend £100 million the funds are in place for him to do so.

“As for the club’s finances, Manchester United are on course to break the £100 million commercial profits barrier for the year. The club is best judged financially from the last quarterly accounts of the club, which showed the debt in the region of £500 million, interest repayments of £45 million but £100 million profits in a year.”

This is it.

 Are the big boys in trouble?

Time will tell.

I am glad Arsene Wenger is not backing down from what he said about the shit head of a ref Massimo Busacca and his stupidly.

Yes, the Gunners played without passion after RVP was sent off.

Who wouldn’t!

This is like a kick in the nuts.

Look, the fix was in.

FIFA is part of the problem.

There has been an axe to grind with the EPL for the last few years because Chelsea, Liverpool, Man U, and Arsenal made it to the semi-finals or finals the last three outta four years.

Wenger had this to say about the ref – “I don’t understand where that comes from,” he said. “It is the kind of thing that is difficult to understand.
 

“It is a shame the referee took the decision to send off Robin van Persie because it was the wrong decision. The first game was a fantastic advert for football and the second game has been destroyed. The only thing that people remember is that the sending off killed the game.

 “This decision frustrated us and frustrated everybody who loves football.”

 What he said privately to the idiot Busacca was not revealed- “I will keep that for UEFA if they really want to know because I will have some interesting statements to make about some statements made by people who were not supposed to say what they said.

 “You can check any statement I made on television after the game. If I have done anything wrong I am ready to be charged.

 ”As for what is said in the tunnel, if you can get just one [time] where I have come out on what has been said against me or against the referee [in a tunnel] during my 15 years in England, I will pay for you to have a big holiday.”

The fix is in.

FIFA wants Barca to win and they will do everything in their power to make sure Camp Nou represents Europe in the FIFA World Club Title.

It is a fix baby!

Coming up for my Gunners is Man U in the quarterfinals of the FA Cup.

In plain and simple English forget-about it.

We need to win this sucker.

Both Man U and my Gunners are in the shits.

This is a huge match for both sides.

For this match will have huge implications on how the rest of the season goes.

In the second round of Carioca Campeonato Flu blasted America-RJ 3-1.

Rafael Moura hit the daily double for Fluminense.

Vasco doubled up on Duque Caxias 4-2.

Mengao defeated Olaria 3-2 on March 5^th.

Ronaldinho Gaucho hit the back of the net in the 48^th minute.

Thiago Neves hit the daily lotto twice.

Flamengo is now in second place three points.

Tonight Rubro-Negro battles Bangu.

This is it from The De Futebol Zone.

http://www.bolaradio.com.br/

Lot’s of fun stuff to talk about today.

Lets start with the Campeonato.

Fluminense is top dog with 61 points. Second place belongs to Corinthians with 60 points. Sitting in third place is Cruzeiro with 60 points também. Timao has a better goal difference. Corinthians has a plus 21 while Raposa is a plus 12.

Mengao is buried in 13^th place with 40. Flamengo is a perfect zero goal difference yet this is a deceiving number.

In our last four matches, Rubro-Negro has given up five goals while scoring only four.

This is a minus one.

Flamengo “D’ has been suspect all year. At times Mengao has looked great while times we looked like a machine gun riddled body.

Marcelo Lomba has taken over for super keeper Bruno in June of this year. Bruno is the hoosegow for murder. Lomba is good but he ain’t no Bruno.

Bruno was bad at times but he could flat out play keeper.

Flamengo sorely misses the murdering bastard.

There are four matches left in the season.

Our title hopes are dead but we need to win two out of our last four matches to avoid the drop-dead zone.

Up on Saturday is Atletico-MG at Galo’s house in Mineiro.

Galo is one-step above the voce vai zone.

Atletico-MG has 36 points.

A win would give Galo 39 points.

It’s all about the “W’s” baby.

This is the name of the game.

Luxemburgo will start Petkovic, Diego Mauricio, and Diogo.

O Flamengo está definido para a partida de sábado, contra o Atlético-MG, às 19h30 (horário de Brasília), na Arena do Jacaré, em Sete Lagoas, pela 35ª rodada do Campeonato Brasileiro. No treinamento desta quinta-feira, no CT Ninho do Urubu, em Vargem Grande, Zona Oeste da cidade,

Vanderlei Luxemburgo comandou um coletivo e confirmou as entradas de Petkovic, Diogo e Diego Maurício.

“Neste jogo vou usar a experiência do Petkovic, que é um jogador muito importante neste momento. Não terá condições de atuar os 90 minutos, vai nos ajudar enquanto estiver em campo”, disse Luxemburgo, acrescentando.

Headman Luxemburgo was asked if Mengao loses what will happen to the club in the long run. He said, It doesn’t matter for we have three matches left. This will not kill Mengao. “Nada será decidido se perdemos o jogo. Se ganharmos, é lógico que vamos ficar numa situação bacana. Precisamos analisar toda a competição e não apenas esta partida. É um jogo importante, mas não decisivo”, encerrou.

My guys from Arsenal have a hot date with Everton on Sunday.

We need to win this sucker.

The Gunners are in third place with 23 points.

Arsenal is five points behind top dog Chelsea.

The Blues have 28 points.

Wenger spoke about the huge win over Wolves- www.arsenal.com We were in the lead early on and the victory was so important for us that we focused tonight maybe more on defending and keeping the result. We couldn’t take our chances and if you look at the game we had many chances. I must say you have to give credit to Wolves because they are a good side. They are good defensively, they are good at winning the ball back and they always looked dangerous. They have a good mixture between long balls and build up play and are a side who will give problems to anyone in this league.

Wenger added about the tussel with  Wolverhampton- Overall it was a committed game and a very correct one. Wolves were physically very strong tonight and kept a high tempo for 90 minutes and I must say I was impressed by them. But I was as well impressed by our spirit, our determination and our resilience. Today we have seen a side of my team that will be very important throughout the season.

Wenger spoke about the availability of Kieran Gibbs- We should not have any bad news from last night,” said the manager. “The squad should be the same.

“We could have Gibbs available to be part of it again too. We’ll make the decision at the end of the week. He is back in normal training. It is just whether he is fit or not.”

Wenger said he would make some changes for our upcoming match against Everton. There are always one or two changes,” said the Frenchman. “Some players have played a lot and we have some fresh, quality players on the bench.

“Some are not completely match-fit like Van Persie and Bendtner but in midfield there may be one or two changes.”

The weekend is almost here. Oh, what a joy it is. It is time for some futebol.

Mengao is in a literal fight for their futebol lives.

Flamengo is hovering near the bottom of the table.

We battle Santos on Sunday at Maracanã.

Rubro-Negro has 21 points and currently sits in 15^th place.

We are two points away from the drop zone.

We have to win this sucker against Santos in our house.

Mengao cannot afford to lose this baby.

A loss might stick a fork in our season.

Yes, there is lots of futebol to be played but Flamengo’s offense is down right offensive.

It sucks big time.

Mengao has scored 14 goals in 18 matches so far.

We have given up 15.

Not too shabby on “D” but the name of the game is to put the little white ball into the back of the net.

Rubro-Negro’s top scorer is Vagner Love with four goals.

Love has been gone since mid June.

Not good garoto.

Santos sits in fourth place with 30 points.

We’ll give ya the update later.

Flamengo couldn’t hit the broadside of a barn with a machine gun or a howitzer. This was down right worse than bad.

Mengao lost to Atletico-PR 1-0.

Sure, we hung in there for most of the match,

Yes, Rubro-Negro had some great scoring opportunities but nothing resulted.

This is pure bupkis.

A late stupid defensive error allowed Atletico-PR to score in the 82^nd minute.

Paulo Baier floated a corner kick into the box.

Keeper Lomba and defender Leo Moura let Furacao attacker Manoel head home the match winner.

Flamengo keeper Marcelo Lomba looked like a windmill as he tried to stop the perfectly placed header that was squeezed between Lomba and the left post.

Mengao hasn’t won in Coritiba in 36 years.

You can stick a fork in Mengao’s chances of winning the Campeonato.

Hey Patricia baby sign a real striker.

Rubro-Negro’s offense is down right offensive.

It sucks big time baby.

UOL put it this way- Atlético-PR e Flamengo fizeram um jogo movimentado, neste domingo, na Arena da Baixada e, mais uma vez, o rubro-negro paranaense levou vantagem sobre o time carioca. Com um gol do zagueiro Manoel, no fim do segundo tempo, venceu por 1 a 0 e sustentou um tabu de 36 anos, nos quais não perde para o Fla, em Curitiba. Foi a 11ª partida entre os dois times na Arena da Baixada e nona vitória atleticana.

With the win, Atletico moved up the table and out of the danger zone. Furacao now has 17 points.

Globo Esporte-O Furacão, que passou a noite no Z4, respira. O time chegou aos 17 pontos e fica na 13ª posição, pelo menos até o fim dos jogos das 18h30m. O destaque da partida foi o ligeiro Maikon Leite.

Flamengo has now dropped out of the top four. Rubro-Negro is now in ninth place with 20 points.

O time carioca, por sua vez, também confirmou as conclusões da sua fraqueza ofensiva e precisa mais do que nunca da estreia da dupla Deivid e Diogo para voltar a ter um ataque repeitável. Nos oito jogos pós-Copa, a equipe fez quatro gols, dois deles de pênalti. Diante de números tão ruins, a equipe manteve os 20 pontos, caiu para o nono lugar e distanciou-se do G-4.

We are now in deep do-do.

I am not a happy Flamenguista.

Mengao has a huge match with Avai Wednesday night at Maracanã. 

We have to come breathing fire. Lion Island is a very dangerous side.

Avai is in sixth place 14 points.

At this time last year, Rubro-Negro was near the bottom of the table.

Now Flamengo is fourth place.

We are playing better.

Marcelo Lomba is keeping Mengao from tasting defeat.

Lomba is playing lights out.

Lets see what happens against Lion Island.

Avai tied league leader Corinthians nil-nil on July 14^th.

Rogeiro Lourenço is cautiously optimistic about Flamengo’s chances on winning the Campeonato.

UOL-Apesar de estar em quarto lugar na tabela, com 15 pontos, Rogério Lourenço não se ilude em relação ao time. Ele prefere não fazer prognósticos de onde a equipe poderá chegar na competição. De acordo com o treinador, o Flamengo tem chance de brigar até a última rodada pelas primeiras posições da tabela. No entanto, se diz cauteloso.

É cedo para dizer onde chegaremos, se ao título brasileiro ou se nos classificaremos para a Libertadores. Mas o Flamengo sempre entra nas competições para ser campeão. Temos um grupo bom e competitivo. Vamos buscar as primeiras posições, mas sem tirar os pés do chão”, explicou Rogério Lourenço.

It is too early to talk about this.

There is a ton of futebol to be played.

Mengao has too many holes to be filled.

We have a leaky D.

We need another striker too.

Rubro-Negro will start Diego Mauricio and Vinicius Pacheco at striker.

Petkovic will, anchor the midfield.

Lomba will be the stopper on “D”.

This is not a life and death match but Mengao must play well at their house.

Flamengo has struggled at Maracanã. 

 Mengao has two wins, two draws, and one loss at home.

This is not all that hot.

It stinks.

Rubro-Negro has three wins, one lose, and one draw on the road.

We have to step up to the plate and knock it outta the park.

Corinthians is top dog.

Timao defeated Atletico-MG 1-0.

Ceara lost to Internacional 2-1.

The loss dropped Vovo to third place.

Fluminense got by Santos 1-0.

The win vaulted Flu to second place in the table.

Corinthians has 21 bad boys.

Po-de-arroz has 19 points.

Ceara has 18 points.

Flamengo moved up one spot to fourth place with 15 points.

The race is on.

Sao Paulo has almost dropped outta sight.

Tricolor is buried in 13^th place.

Vasco is still in the danger zone.

Gigante de Colina is in 17^th place with nine points.

It is still very early in the season to ring up the white flag however; nine matches into the season there are some trends.

Timao started out very strong last year but by the end of the 2009 season Corinthians wound up in tenth place.

This year will be different for Timao.

Corinthians is strong this year.

Timao has more pieces in place and this will make them very dangerous.

All one has to do is look at the results.

Six wins, three draws, and zero losses.

Flamengo seems to have found a diamond in the rough with keeper Marcelo Lomba. Lomba has been playing lights since the murder Bruno was sent to prison.

The loss of Bruno, the drug addict Adriano, and Love may have motivated Petkovic and the rest to show us how good they can be.

Mengao has controlled the two last to matches.

Flamengo is now dictating the tempo and flow of the match thus forcing opponents to play our style of play.

This is upbeat and attacking.

Rubro-Negro needs another striker.

Other than Mengao is on the right path.

On Wednesday, Flamengo battles third place Avai.

This should be a battle royal.

Flamengo is at home Maracanã.

Home cooking has been bad for us.
