The City boys are for real folks. City took care of business defeating Sir Alex and the Boys 1-0. The Citizens took to Man U the entire match. One mistake cost the Red Devils. This sucker happened just before half. Vincent Kompany out leaped Chris Smalling and nailed the header in the 45^th minute plus one.

Look folks Man U is having a down year. The mighty boys from Old Trafford are weak on the “D”. They make too many defensive mistakes. These mistakes cost em big time. This problem was evident from day one.

Roberto Mancini is in Sir Alex’s head. This is Jose Mourinho part two.

This is great. Yours truly wrote that Man City would run the table. The Citizens are halfway there.

I am not a huge City fan but I like the dogs. Dogs are good for the game. The Citizens haven’t won squat since 1968.

City out played Man U from the get go. Rooney was not involved in the attack. Why wasn’t Chicharito used by Sir Alex?

There are two matches left and anything can happen.

Man U needs to regroup and score a ton of goals. City has superior goal difference.

The Citizens are a plus 61. Man U is a plus 54.

What killed Sir Alex was the loss to Wigan and the tie to Everton last weekend.

Don’t give City the title yet anything can happen in the last two matches. Newcastle is up next for the Citizens. Toons are reeling from their blowout loss at the hands of Wigan. Newcastle is still in the running for a place in the Champions League.

Don’t count your chickens before they’re hatched City.

The Blues took care of business. Chelsea destroyed Queens Park Rangers 6-1. Fernando Torres finally earned his keep. Torres led the attack with a hat trick. The win give the Blues 61 points plus the all important goal difference. Chelsea has a plus 23.

This years top four spots could come down to goal difference. The race for the last two you’re outta here places could come down to goal difference também.

Chelsea has two titles they are fighting for The FA Cup and the Champions League crown.

Chelsea and Liverpool will play back-to-back games next week. They’ll battle for the FA Cup on Saturday and then hook up again on Tuesday in an EPL match.

Spurs picked a huge 2-0 win over Blackburn. This was one of those must win situations for Tottenham. This win snaps a two match-losing streak. The bleeding is stopped for now.

Rafael Van der Vaart and Kyle Walker ripped the twines for Spurs.

Tottenham is now in fourth place on goal difference. Both Spurs and Toons have 62 points but Tottenham has a plus 20 while Newcastle is a plus seven. Chelsea is in sixth place with 61 points.

Spurs, the Blues, and Toons will play on Wednesday. Tottenham- Bolton and Chelsea-Toons are the wars to be waged.

The big match will be City and Man U later today. It would be cool if the Citizens win this sucker and thus throw the title race into a wide-open affair.

Crazier things have happened.

My guys from Arsenal once again found a way to stink the joint out. Sure we tied one all with Stoke City but this getting beyond ridicules.  This is three straight matches without the “W.” Arsenal can thank their lucky stars that Newcastle ran into a buzz saw at Wigan. The Wig guys kicked Toons ass 4-0.

My Gunners now have a four-point lead over Newcastle.

Arsenal has 66 points and Toons have 62.

The Potters started off the match with a goal by Peter Crouch in the 9^th minute. Crouch noodled home the strike dead center of the box. Mathew Etherington set this puppy up with a great cross into the box.

My Gunners found the answer in the 14^th minute. Robin Van Persie booted home the close range bomb to level this sucker at one all.

This was all she wrote. Game over. A tie for Arsenal but this is not going well right now.

The guys look outta sorts. There seems to be a lack of effort and drive to get the win. Sure we are locked in third place but with two matches left after this week my Gunners could wind up on the outside looking in.

Wenger said this after the tie. All quotes taken from www.arsenal.com

“I believe that it was a game where we have shown great character, great battling qualities. It was a game of two different approaches – one very direct in the air and one who tries to play on the ground. Both teams are good at what they do and that’s why I think it was still an interesting game. We had good chances, especially in the first half. In the second half I felt our fluency dropped a bit in midfield – we still had chances though, especially a penalty that was not given. Overall we deserved at least a point and I can only give credit to my players for their battling qualities and the way they responded to what Stoke offered us – full commitment, well-organised, direct. We did not always cope with it but today I felt we did.”

Wenger on the fans giving him a hard time and mocking him.

“I focus on what I love in my job and the way my players behave on the pitch. I am not responsible for the way people behave in the stands. If you want to stop that it is easy to stop but I cannot influence it. I have had so much [criticism] in England, I have been here for 15 years, and basically I don’t hear it because I am focused on the game.”

Spurs plays Blackburn later today. Chelsea is at home against Queens Park Rangers.

A win by Tottenham would put the Spurs at 62 points. Tottenham, Toons, and the Blues each have a game in hand. This game will be played on Wednesday.

A Blues win would give them 61 points.

Everton killed Fulham 4-0. Wolves came back from a 4-2 deficit to tie Swansea City four all. Sunderland and Bolton tied at two all. West Brom and Aston Villa battled to a nil-nil draw.

Liverpool stopped the bleeding with a 3-0 win over Norwich City. Luis Suarez hit the hit trick for the Reds.

Wolves are eighty-sixth. Blackburn sits in 19^th place with 31 points. It looks like the Rovers are whale meat. Bolton is one step to safety with 34 points.  QPR is almost in the bye-bye zone with 34 points. The Latics have 37 points and they are in 16^th place.

Villa sits in 15^th place with 37 points.

After this week there are two matches left. Wigan, Aston Villa, and The Hoops are still in danger of getting the heave-hoe.

If Bolton wins their last three matches and either one of the three the Wigs guys, Villa, and QPR stumble the Rovers can pull the great Houdini.

The biggie match of the weekend is Man U battling Man City at the Citizens house on Monday. If Sir Alex and the Boys win the title is theirs. If City wins they will have to run the table. If a tie occurs the mighty boys from Old Trafford will have the inside track with two matches left.

My guys from Arsenal have a hot date with Stoke City at the Potters house. We suck at their place. My Gunners have only won once in their last four matches. Arsenal can’t afford a loss or a tie. Newcastle is breathing down our necks. Toons have 62 points. We have 65 points. Spurs are fourth with 59. Chelsea is fifth with 58 points.

Newcastle, Tottenham and Chelsea have a game in hand and this will be played on Wednesday.

Wenger said this about the match with the Potters. The guys have to play their own game.

“We have to combat in the air because with [Peter] Crouch up front, he is technically good, he can bring other people in, but as well we cannot forget to put the ball down and play our game.

“We are ready to win. If you think are we ready to win petty, it depends what you call petty, but we will be faithful to the way we play football, that is for sure.”

Britannia has been a graveyard for Arsenal. Wenger said this. All quotes taken from www.arsenal.com

“That’s what we want to show,” he said. “I believe that Stoke is always a difficult opponent for us and everybody. Every big team who goes to Stoke knows they get a game.

“From our side we are in a position where we want to win our remaining games. That is the only chance to master our future. We have our future in our own hands but only if we win the three games.”

Newcastle is at Wigan later today.

On Sunday Chelsea is at home at Stamford Bridge against QPR. Tottenham has some home cooking against Blackburn.

The unthinkable happened. Man U jumped out to a 3-1 and 4-2 lead only to let Everton back into it. The Toffees and Sir Alex and the Boys ended in a four all tie. The door is now open for Man City to win this sucker. All the Citizens have to do is win their last four matches and the title is theirs.

Man U blew it big time. The mighty boys from Old Trafford’s back line have been their problem all season long. The Red Devils are not that good defensively. This has been their weakness all year long.

The Rooney Man hit the daily double.

For Everton Nikica Jelivic added a daily também.

This tie could have stuck a stake in Man U’s title hopes.

The Citizens last title in the First Division came in 1967-68.

City took care of their end of the bargain.  The Citizens had little trouble with Wolves winning 2-0. This win couple with Man U’s tie has thrown the title race open with three matches left.

Part of me roots for the dog. City hasn’t won bupkis since 1968. I love it when a team comes outta nowhere to win the whole banana. All the idiot pundits said the race is over all have egg on their faces. First the moron pundits gave it to City. Next up the Citizens fell on hard time and this allowed Man U to take the lead. Now it’s Sir Alex and the guys time to stumble. Let’s remember the famous saying “It ain’t over till the fat lady sings.”

The EPL will probably be decided when Man U and City hook up next Monday at the Citizens house. If City wins they will be level on points and must win their final two matches. If Sir Alex and the Boys win they will clinch the title.

The race is on.

Roberto Mancini said this after the big win. “”I am pleased with this form but now we have three very difficult games, it could not be more difficult. We are there – I think they have a bigger chance, more than us in this moment. But we have another chance.”

http://soccernet.espn.go.com/quotes?id=318017&cc=5901

Sir Alex said this after the guys blew a 3-1 and 4-2 leads that resulted in a four all tie with Everton. “”Yes, definitely,” said Ferguson, when asked if it was the most important derby he has known. “We’ve given them the initiative, there is no doubt about that.

“It makes the game at the Etihad a really important game. A decider really. There has been an expectancy from City that it could be their decider, but it’s our decider too.”

My guys from Arsenal and Chelsea battled to a nil-nil draw. My Gunners came out flat-footed. The guys didn’t have their usual punch in their step.  The Blues applied the pressure from the outset. Good defending by my Gunners kept us in the match.  Sure we turned up the heat from the three quarters mark of the first half on but Robin Van Persie and company couldn’t quit flip the switch.

RVP had several really good chances but he was off the mark. He looked like he was pressing instead of playing instinctual futebol. RVP would over dribble or shoot and miss the mark by that much when he had the chance to put the rock into the back of the net.

Robin Van Persie hasn’t scored in his last two matches.

Once again the old bug a boo is killing us. A great build up to the attack but the final ball to set up the goal to score is way off. This sucker has reared its ugly head again.

Could this knock us out of third place?

We will find out in our last three matches.

My Gunners are on the road two out of the last three.

Our road record sucks. My Gunners have eight wins, seven losses, and two ties.

It seems like the pressure is getting to the guys. This is the second time in two weeks Arsenal stubbed their toes. This tie could hurt us. My Gunners have dropped five points out six in their last two matches.

This is not good garoto.

The good news is this. My Gunners are still in third place with 65 points.

Arsene Wenger was asked if this was a fair result. All quotes taken from www.arsenal.com

“It was a very unfair result but it is a result. I think [we should have had a penalty], I think also we had chances. At the end of the game we had the chances and they had zero. I cannot remember them having one chance. Having said that it was a little bit of a strange game because before the game I thought it would be an open one – we had to win, they had to win. They decided to lock up the game and catch us on the break only, with two wide players who are quick, and Torres.”

About the guys performance-

“On our side I felt we had a very solid defensive performance. Going forward we didn’t find our quick passing game and the regret we have today is that we played offensively with a handbrake and not as clean technically as we can do. That is why we didn’t open them up enough. It was a bit similar to what we saw against Wigan and that’s a regret I have today. They had three defensive midfielders with Romeu, Malouda and Essien in the middle of the park so it was very difficult to play through there. It was very physical as well. They adopted a little bit the system they played against Barcelona – certainly they wanted to practice for Tuesday night.”

On the race for the Champions League-

“What it means is that we have to win the rest of our games and we have to look at the results over the weekend as well.”

http://www.arsenal.com/news/news-archive/-we-could-not-find-our-quick-passing-game-

Newcastle took it to Stoke City winning 3-0. Tottenham dropped their second straight match. This 1-0 loss to Queens Park Rangers cost em dearly.  Spurs have lost five matches out of their last nine.

The race for the last two Champions League berth looks like this.

My Gunners are third with 65 points. Toons are fourth with 62. Spurs are fifth with 59 and Chelsea is sixth with 58 points.

Places three and four head to the Champions League. Third is an automatic berth while fourth place earns you the chance to qualify for the Champions League. Finishing fifth earns you a place in the Europa League.

Game on. My guys from Arsenal have a hot date with Chelsea at our house. This is a huge encounter for my Gunners and the Blues. Chelsea is on the outside looking in. The Blues are in sixth place. Arsenal is in 3^rd place.

We have little breathing room. Spurs hot breath is breathing down our necks. Tottenham has 59 points. My Gunners have 64. We stunk the joint out in a loss to Wigan last weekend.  

This is not good garoto.

Spurs have a game in hand. 

Arsenal needs to win this sucker. With a win my Gunners can stick a fork in Chelsea’s season. A loss by the Blues will damper their hopes of securing one of the Champions League spots.

A loss by my Gunners will surely put us in jeopardy of not getting one of the two spots in the Champions League.

A ton is at stake at Emirates for both my Gunners and Chelsea so both sides will come out swinging for the fences.

This puppy will be a war. 

After this weekend there will be three matches left for Arsenal.

Chelsea does have a game in hand. So does Newcastle who sits in fifth place with 59 points.

Toons battles Stoke City and Spurs are at QPR.

Robin Van Persie said this about the upcoming epic battle. All quotes taken from www.arsenal.com 

“Everybody is looking forward to it, and to bouncing back from the Wigan result because we need to put that right. We have everything that it takes to put in another very good performance.”

“Chelsea have picked up considerably in recent weeks and had a great result against Barcelona on Wednesday.”

“They defended unbelievably well and were very strong on the counter-attack, with Didier Drogba having a really good game. At times they defended with eight or nine men, but you can hardly blame them for doing that against Barcelona.

“If they put in a performance like that on Saturday, it will be hard for us – but it will also be interesting to see how they approach today’s game in the middle of two massive Champions League fixtures. They only played two and a half days ago, and had to work hard against a lot of Barcelona possession the other day, so we’ll see what their manager decides to do.

“Whoever starts the game for them, I expect them to provide a very big test because they have next season’s Champions League at stake too and will not want to slip up.”

http://www.arsenal.com/news/news-archive/-we-ve-proved-we-can-perform-in-big-games-

Wenger said this about the up coming match against the Blues.

“It is a massive game for us, of course, and I don’t need to look at the table to know that because the table is in my head.

“But overall we have been remarkably consistent in the last two months and I am confident we will have a very strong response on Saturday.”

http://www.arsenal.com/news/news-archive/wenger-this-is-a-massive-game-for-us

About third place Wenger said this. “We want more,” he said ahead of Saturday’s London derby with Chelsea. “But where we are at the moment we will be happy with third place because there are great teams who would be very happy if they got there.

“You always want more but you see that the competition in England is difficult. Chelsea are now in the Champions League [semi-final] against Barcelona but they are sixth at the moment. That means it is not easy.”

http://www.arsenal.com/news/news-archive/wenger-we-want-more-than-third-place

Forget this crap Wenger. Just go out and win this sucker. A win will keep us in third place. A loss may kill an otherwise good season so “ Just Win Baby” according to Al Davis former owner of the Oakland Raiders. Davis passed away last year.

Well a funny thing happened on the way to the forum. Someone should have told the Wig guys that my guys from Arsenal needed to win this sucker badly. So did the Latics. For Wigan is in a death race to get outta the drop zone.

Wigan pulled the major 2-1 upset over my Gunners at our house Emirates.

All the goals were scored in the first twenty-one minutes

The Wig guys scored the first two goals outta the box. Di Santos took the rock straight to the rack and pushed home the winner in the 7^th minute. This was Di Santos first goal in 18 matches. The Latics Jordi Gomez scored their second goal. Gomez nailed the rebound after keeper Szczesny blocked the first attempt. This puppy was set up by a great run down the pitch by Moses.

We cut the gap to 2-1 when Thomas Vermaelen showed some hops when out leaped the keeper Ali Al Habsi in the 21^st minute.

This was all she wrote as my guys crashed and burned big time.

This was Wigan’s first win against Arsenal.

Arsenal tried to mount an attack but we couldn’t get anything going against a very aggressive Latics side. This match was similar to the one the Wigs guys played against Man U.  Wigan stuffed the middle, disrupted the offense and took it to the rack. This tactic took my Gunners out of their game.

Wigan has beaten the first and third place sides in the EPL in a period of one week.

Man U is top dog with 82 points. Man City is second with 77. Arsenal is third with 64. Tottenham is fourth with 59. Newcastle is fifth with 59 and Chelsea is sixth with 57. The Spurs, Toons, and the Blues all have a game in hand. So the race for last two Champions League spots is on. Gentlemen start your engines.

Wolves are whale dung with 23 and Wolverhampton is headed south.

Blackburn is in 19^th place with 28.

Bolton is one step from safety with 29 points.

QPR is one step above the bye-bye zone with 31.

The Wanderers have a game in hand.

Wigan is in 16^th place with 34 points.

Aston Villa is in 15^th place with 35 points.

Both the Latics and Villa are not outta danger yet.

We are heading down the home stretch.

Sir Alex and the Boys served notice that they will not to give up their title without a fight. Man U flat out beat Aston Villa 4-0. The Rooney man started off the match when he nailed the PK in the 7^th minute.

Danny Welbeck stretched the Red Devils lead to 2-0. Welbeck poked home the winner in the 43^rd minute.  Rooney completed his daily double in the 73^rd minute. The Rooney man rammed home the shot through the keeper’s wickets to make it 3-0.  This sucker was set up by Valencia’s great pass that found Rooney parked in front of the net.

Nani added the final goal in the 90^th minute.

The mighty boys from Old Trafford lead is now back to five points with four matches left. City leads on goal difference. The Citizens are a plus 58 while Man U is a plus 54.

Man U has 82 points. Man City has 77 points.

My guys from Arsenal are sitting in third place with 64 points. My Gunners and Wigan will battle it out later today.

A win by Arsenal will stretch our lead to nine points over Tottenham. Spurs have a game in hand.

The Wig guys will be fighting for their very lives. Wigan is two points clear of the final bye-bye zone spot. Bolton has 29 points however the Wanderers have two matches in hand.

Chelsea tore apart Tottenham in a 5-1 rout to advance to the FA Cup finals where they’ll take on the Liverpool. This should be a war.

Man City did what they needed to do on this fine Saturday. The Citizens took Norwich City to the woodshed 6-1. It was close 2-1 at the sixty-minute mark however City scored the next four goals to put this sucker outta reach.

Carlos Tevez hit the hat trick. Mate Sergio Aguero had the daily double and Adam Johnson’s goal late in the match rubbed The Carnies face in the dirt. If I were Norwich City manager I would have had a few choice words for Roberto Mancini and then kicked his ass.

This was uncalled for. It was already 5-1. Call the fucking dogs off. Hey Mancini you will get yours. I hope to hell a side does the same thing to your ass.

In hockey terms the opposing team would send a goon out and kick one of your players asses to send a message to you and your bullshit.

One day you’ll get your face rubbed in it.

Man U leads Man City by two points. When Sir Alex and the Boys take to the pitch later today they will have to beat a reeling Aston Villa squad.

Swansea City took apart Blackburn 3-0.

Wolves and Sunderland tied nil and West Brom beat QPR 1-0.

The Swans win over the Rovers may have sent Blackburn packing.

Wolves are still whale dung with 23 points. Wolverhampton can kiss their butt bye-bye. Blackburn is one step above whale crap with 28 points. Bolton has 28 points but the Wanderers have two matches in had.

Bolton is one step from the get outta jail free card.

Wigan is one clear of the bye-bye zone with 31 points. My guys from Arsenal will take em on Monday.

The Hoops are 16^th place with 31 points Queens Park Rangers are a minus 19. The Wigan guys are a minus –26.

Wolves are toast so the race for the final two you’re outta here zone is down to five clubs. Bolton, Blackburn, Wigan, QPR, and Aston Villa.

Liverpool defeated Everton 2-1 to advance to the finals of the FA cup.
