This was River’s first win in three weeks in the Clausura.

With the victory, Los Millionaires move up to tenth spot with nine points.

Boca Juniors and Velez Sarsfield had a good old-fashioned shoot out on Tuesday March 2^nd.

Both sides drew at four all.

Gary Medel scored the equalizer for Los Xeneizes in the 89^th minute.

Santiago Silva put Sarsfield up 4-3 in the 82^nd minute off a wicked strike that flat out beat the keeper.

Boca currently sits in 12^th place in Clausura with eight points

Bichi Fuertes added a cosmetic goal off a great free kick in the 86^th minute for the Sabaleros’.

Sapito-little toad-Encina hit the match winner in the 86^th minute to lift Gimnasia LP past Chacarita.

The EPL has two huge matches that will take place on Saturday.

They will go a long way in determining who will win the EPL.

We have a hot date at home with Burnley.

The Gunners will expect Arshavin, Denilson, and Abou Diaby to be ready to play for us in this all-important encounter at Emirates Stadium.

We need to kick butt and take names.

Three points are a must for Arsenal. 

Chelsea will have a game in hand. This is due to the fact that the Blues have a quarterfinal FA Cup match with Stoke City.

Manchester United takes a little road trip to Molineux Stadium to take on Wolverhampton.

The Red Devils are struggling mightily on the road. Last road outing on February 20^th the boys from Old Trafford had their butts handed to them by Everton 3-1.

Man U stinks on the road.

Man U will be without the services of Michael Owens and Wayne Rooney. Owens will be out for the season with a bad hamstring. Rooney will miss due to a bad wheel.  His knee is in bad shape.

Wolves are currently in 17^th place with 24 points. Wolverhampton is one-step away from getting the heave-hoe.

Hull City has 24 points too.

The only thing that is saving their sorry season is Wolverhampton has a better goal difference than Hull City.

Wolvers are a minus 24 while Hull City is a minus 29.

Flamengo was missing their best attacker Adriano.  The Emperor was on loan to the national team. Adriano will play in Brasil’s final World Cup tune up against Ireland on Tuesday March 2^nd.

Kleberson missed to due national team duty as well. Petkovic and Alvaro are out due to injuries.

Globo Esporte had this to say http://globoesporte.globo.com/ O técnico rubro-negro, Andrade, foi obrigado a escalar um time misto. Adriano e Kleberson tiveram de se apresentar à seleção brasileira para o amistoso contra a Irlanda, na terça-feira. Álvaro e Petkovic sentiram dores musculares e foram vetados. Bruno Mezenga, Fernando e David, respectivamente, os substituíram. Mas tudo deu certo, e o técnico ainda pôde observar os estreantes Ramon, que tabelou com Love em um dos gols, e Rodrigo Alvim.

Mengao struggled with Macae before turning on the jets to pull away for a 4-1 win.

Mengao was outplayed most of the match by Macae.

Vagner Love hit the daily double for Flamengo. He nailed a PK in the 28^th minute. Love later nailed the close range power shot in the 68^th minute.

Vinicius Pacheco hit for the daily double too. Pacheco scored off a quick free kick by mate Vagner Love in the 58^th minute. Pacheco had an easy one on one with the keeper Jeferson. This was no match.

Pacheco fired a long rang sniper shot from the top of the box in the 73^rd minute that flat out beat the keeper through the wickets.

The difference maker in the match for Mengao was Vagner Love.

For most of the match, Flamengo stunk the joint out. UOL put it this way www.uol.com.br  O Macaé jogou melhor a maior parte do confronto, mas Vagner Love fez a diferença em favor do Flamengo. O atacante marcou duas vezes e deu dois passes, um deles usando da ‘malandragem’, na goleada por 4 a 1 do time neste sábado, no Estádio Raulino de Oliveira, na estreia da equipe na Taça Rio, segundo turno do Campeonato Estadual. Enquanto Vinicius Pacheco fez os outros gols dos visitantes, Laio marcou o solitário dos mandantes.

I will take it. A win is a win but this Flamenguista is not a happy camper with the way my guys are playing against the smaller clubs. If Mengao does not improve, we will not compete for the two peat.

Liverpool scored a huge win 2-1 over Blackburn at Anfield. Fernando Torres started his first match for Reds since January 13^th.

Torres also ripped the twines in the 44^th minute. Steven Gerrard  started the Reds off right with a huge goal in the 20^th minute. This gave Liverpool an early 1-0 lead.

Tottenham picked up a huge 2-1 over Everton at White Hart Lane.

Sunderland and Fulham were deadlocked nil-nil.

The EPL race shapes up this way Chelsea is top gun with 61 points. Man U is second with 60 and Arsenal is third with 58. Spurs and Man City each have 49 points but Tottenham is fourth on a better goal difference. Spurs are a plus 23 while City is a plus 17.

Liverpool is sixth with 48.

The Miracle worker Wayne Rooney came off the bench to score the match winner in the 74^th minute. Man U just got by Aston Villa 2-1 to win the Carling Cup.

The match started off on an ominous note for the Red Devils. A dumb foul in the box by Vidac. He should have been given the heave-hoe but the ref said no way boys.

Play on.

Villa’s James Milner nailed the PK.

This made 1-0 Aston Villa.

Michael Owens hit the equalizer in the 12^th minute.

Villa defender Richard Dunne lost the ball to Berbatov. Dunn makes a brilliant recovery. He strips the ball from Berbatov. Somehow, the ball comes loose and Owens scopes up the garbage and scores.

Manchester United had their entire season riding on the line in this match against West Ham at Old Trafford on Tuesday.

This was one of those matches if the Red Devils lost you can surely stick a fork in their season and their chances of a four peat.

Man U came away with a hard fought 3-0 win over West Ham.
Wayne Rooney hit for the daily double.

Both of Rooney’s goals were a thing of beauty.  The Wayne man nailed a point blank header in the 38^th minute. A great cross into the goal area by Antonio Valencia set up this goal.

The Rooney man and Valencia teamed up again in the 55^th minute for a repeat performance.  Valencia fired another perfect ball into the goalmouth. Rooney nailed the close range header.

Michael Owens goal in the 80^th minute was the icing on the cake for Man U.

Paul Scholes set up Owen’s goal with a great through ball.

The only bad news is that Brasilian Anderson wrenched his knee. We don’t know the seriousness of the injury. After an MRI Man U will find out how bad it really is.

Man U is almost unbeatable at home yet when the Red Devils hit the road they can’t win to save their lives.

Man U jumped out to an early 1-0 against Everton. Then the unthinkable happened the Toffees put the screws to the Red Devils by scoring the next three goals to win 3-1.

This was the first time Man U lost a match after they scored first.

The Red Devils are 12-1-1 at home and 7-2-5 on the road.

Man U cut Chelsea’s lead to one point.

Chelsea has 61 points. The Red Devils have 60. My guys Arsenal have 55.

Both Chelsea and the Gunners have huge encounters coming up on Saturday and Sunday.

The Blues battle Man City at home in Stamford Bridge on Saturday.

Arsenal takes an all important road trip to Britannia Stadium to take on Stoke City on Sunday.

We have to win this sucker.

Arsenal cannot afford a slip up.

Three points are a must.

The title is in sight for Arsenal.

Six points are not that big of a difference.

All we have to do hold serve at home and win sixty percent of our matches on the road.

With ten matches left after Sunday the Blues will surely lose at two maybe three, more matches.
