Wenger said this about the win -”I do not give much importance to the seven goals, it is just we won and played well,” said the Arsenal manager.

“I felt that recently we had quite good performances but did not get the results. Today we got the performance and the result, which is ideally what you want.”

We remained serious and were guided by the way we want to play football and not by any extravagant individualism. We were mature and serious, we played together until the end.”

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.

http://esporte.uol.com.br/futebol/campeonatos/estadual-do-rio/pos-jogo/2012/02/03/flamengo-x-olaria.htm

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.

My guys from Arsenal had a real chance to move into fifth place but my Gunners stunk the joint out big time. Instead of a “W” we wound up with a nil-nil tie with lowly Bolton.

The point moved the Wanderers out of the drop zone into 17^th place.

Arsenal shot themselves in the head big time.

We controlled the action but couldn’t push the rock past the goal line. My Gunners have only one point in our last three away matches. Add this on top of being winless since January 1^st our season is fading fast into the sunset.

Toons beat Blackburn 2-0. Newcastle dropped us to seventh place while Toons is now in fifth with 39 points.

Arsenal is buried in seventh place with 36 points.

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.

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.

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.

Man U and Liverpool were engaged in a war in their fourth round match of the FA Cup. The Reds and the mighty boys from Old Trafford are bitter enemies and that’s an understatement.

Liverpool drew first blood in the Daniel Agger nailed a header off a free kick. David de Gea blew it. He was squeezed off the line and this allowed Agger an open shot at the goal.

Park Ji Sung found the equalizer in the 39^th minute. Sung fired a rocked from just outside the box. The shot beat the keeper Rena far post left.

David de Gea gave up the match winner in the 88^th minute. Dirk Kuyt nailed a perfect shot between the wickets to beat De Gea dead to rights.

Andy Carroll set this puppy up with a pass.  

Once again Man U’s weak back line betrayed them again.

The Reds are on to the next round of the FA Cup.

Once again the flash point came late in the match between these two storied clubs.

Man U poor back line has been exposed again. This has been Sir Alex and the boys Achilles heal.

The Red Devils have been knocked out of the Champions League and the FA Cup due to bad defense and crappy goal keeping.

The Red used most of their top players while Sir Alex started the second team. Only Chicharito played. Rooney and the rest of the big boys sat out so this was a major reason Man U lost.

All and all this was a huge win for Liverpool.

The Reds are out of the title hunt and they are hoping to get a Champions League spot.

However Liverpool has a better shot at the Europa League.

Chelsea defeated Queens Park Rangers 1-0 to advance as well.

The Blues won it on a controversial PK in the 62^nd minute. Juan Mata nailed the PK to send Chelsea through to the Promised Land.

My guys from Arsenal battle Aston Villa at our house later today.

My guys from Arsenal couldn’t quite pull off the win but the guys were able to keep it close. Man U won 2-1 over Arsenal.

Antonio Valencia gave the Red Devils the lead with a strike in the 45^th minute. Valencia noodled home the winner.

Robin Van Persie scored the equalizer in the 71^st minute.

Sir Alex and the boys found the answer in the 81^st minute. Danny Welbeck nailed the match winner with a great cross over dribble in the box. His left foot laser beat the keeper Wojciech Szczesny to give the Red Devils the win.

A great cross by mate Valencia set up this puppy.

This was a must win for the mighty boys from Old Trafford.

Man City scored a dramatic 3-2 win over Tottenham.

The Citizens took a 2-0 lead early in the second half but Spurs answered with consecutive goals to level this baby up at two all. Then enter a foul in the box by Spurs defender King. Balotelli stepped up and nailed the PK in the 95^th minute to send Man City to the Promised Land.

Mario Balotelli should have been sent off when he stomped on Tottenham’s Parker in the 82^nd minute.

Jermain Defoe had a chance to salt this puppy away in the 92^nd minute but he couldn’t direct home the ball parked in front of the net.

City sits atop the EPL with 54 points.

Man U is second with 51 points.

Spurs are third with 46.

Chelsea is fourth with 41 and my guys from Arsenal are fifth 36.

My guys played very well on the defensive end. My Arsenal guys used a makeshift back four. We don’t have a true fullback and this is killing us.

Sir Alex said this about the win ”We created an amazing amount of chances and to only score two is a bit disappointing.

”We should have rammed home our advantage in the first half, and in the first 15 minutes of the second half they had three great chances and missed them all, so we rode our luck.

”When they put Mertesacker up and kept tossing the ball into the box, you never know what’s going to happen but we coped well with that, Smalling was fantastic in that period and we managed to see it out.”

Wenger mixed up the starting lineup when he started Alex Oxlade Chamberlain along with Theo Walcott in the midfield.

Chamberlain set up RVP’s goal in the 71^st minute.

We now trail City by 15 points. The guys aren’t out of the race but the fat lady is warming up.

It’s stiff upper lip time for my Gunners for we are still in the running for a Champions League spot.

I have simple piece of advice for the guys forget about it.

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.

This win may have saved Bolton’s season.

Fulham fell behind 1-0 to Toons but the Cottagers rallied with four straight goals to win going away 5-2.

Clint Dempsey nailed the hat trick for Fulham.

Everton and Blackburn tied one all.

Queens Park Rangers killed the Wig guys 3-1.

This was another one of those biggie wins for the Swans.

Sunderland beat Swansea City 2-0.

West Brom beat Stoke 2-1.

Aston Villa got by Wolvers 3-2.

The big boys play later today.

Tottenham- Man City and My Gunners take on Man U at our house.

The Wig guys are whale dung with 15.

Wolvers are one step above whale dung with 18.

Bolton is just below the safety line with 18 points.

The Wanderers are a minus 12 while Wolverhampton is a minus 15.

One step from the bye-bye zone is Blackburn with 19.

Queens Park Rangers are in 19^th place with 20.

Seven points separate 18^th thru 15^th place.

The race is one for the heave-hoe zone.

Chelsea is on the road against Norwich City. The Carnies haven’t beaten the Blues since 1994-95.

Norwich can be a tough out. The Carnies have beaten Newcastle so far this season at Carrow Road. So expect a war between Chelsea and Norwich City.

The Blues need to win this puppy to stay in touch with the leader board.

City has 51 points.

The Blues have 40.

Liverpool takes a trip to Bolton.

The Wanderers are near the butt end of the table.

Newcastle and Fulham will hook up.

Queens Park Rangers have a chance to move out of the bye-bye zone when they take on Wigan.

This is the one Gunner nation has been waiting for all season the return date with the hated Man U. The Red Devils blew the doors off of our guys 8-2 August 28^th 2011. However the return match at our house my Gunners have a habit of winning in a close one.

Will this trend continue? 

We will find out on this Sunday.

This sucker will have a small part in deciding if Man U will win the title. This will help us inch closer to the top of the table when we win.

The Red Devils have 48 points. Our guys have 36. We are level on points with Toons however my Gunners have a plus seven compared with Newcastle’s plus five.

This is a must win for both sides.

Sir Alex and the boys have eleven clean sheets this season.

Robin Van Persie has scored 17 goals and Wayne Rooney has 13 goals in the EPL.

Aaron Ramsey has made the most starts 19 of any outfield player for my Gunners.

The defeat at the hands of Swansea City was Arsene Wenger’s 100^th career loss with Arsenal.

This defeat also marked my Gunners 150 loss in the EPL era.

This match will be the 47^th time Sir Alex and Arsene Wenger have squared off in all competitions. Wenger has won 16. Sir Alex won 21 and there have been nine draws.

The Red Devils have a League best away record. Sir Alex and the boys have won seven of their ten fixtures away from Old Trafford.

Man U is truly a road warrior.

Man City handed lowly Wigan a 1-0 loss. This was a forgone conclusion. The Wig guys never had a chance. City got what it needed even though the Latics did put up one heck of a fight.

The difference in the match was the goal by Edin Dzeko in the 22^nd minute.

City once again is top dog with 51 points.

Man U is second with 48.

Spurs are third with 48 também.

The Red Devils are a plus 33.

Tottenham is a plus 18.

City has a plus 42.

The race for the title is far from over.

My guys from Arsenal had a chance to get closer to the leader board but we shot ourselves in the head with the 3-2 to loss to the Swans.

Now we have a hot date with Man U. This is one of those must win matches. We can’t afford another 7-1-blowout city. The guys have to forget about it and march on to the win.

Both my Gunners and the mighty boys from Old Trafford have a ton to play for.

Man U is in the race for the title so this means they will throw everything including the kitchen sink at us. Make no mistake about this will be a war.

Wigan is whale dung with 15 points. It sure looks like the wig guys are going the bye-bye rout. Bolton is making plans as well to join the Latics in the race for the heave-hoe to The Championship League.

Queens Park Rangers has 17 points. So does Blackburn however the Rovers beat Fulham 3-1 and they maybe on the verge of turning things around. But let’s remember five points separate 17^th place through 15^th place. 

Let the races begin for the title and the get outta Dodge zone.
