Champions League playoffs tomorrow. My day is set.
Thanks for all the links. Checking all of those should keep me busy for a while. Should be good to finally get some good reads for my team because coverage here in the US is trash, especially when sites like ESPN, or Fanhouse give a half-assed job at covering any subject concerning soccer.
The worst is having a good conversation with someone about soccer when the most they might know about the sport is through the latest version of FIFA.
P.S: Which one of those sites do you prefer to read and look at daily?
Really looking forward to Celtic/Arsenal,hopefully Cesc will be fit.I can see this being a tricky game for the gooners,especially the first leg tonight but Iām confident/hopeful Arsenal will get through.
The Everton result gives me hope for the Gunners. Bendtner played his ass off! This is where Arsenal needs to step it up though. Also, wtf happened to Cesc? I saw that he was listed as doubtful. They cannot stay fit. If thereās no Cesc, I would like to see big things from Van Persie, Clichy, Denilson, and Bendtner.
lol that has to be one of the most lucky-as-fuck goals Iāve ever seen. Jesus :lol:
:o Which one? and what game? xD

that was by luck. He acted as if he really intended to do that.
Damn, Man U. Damn. :shake:
Allow a goal, missed PK, a yellow card for Rooney, and a loss on the road. Not good, guys. Not good.
ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONEY! :rock:
Wigan got fucking ambushed in a dark alley. This is great.
Ever since Newcastle got relegated, I donāt know what to do or who to root for any more. This sucks.
Well, at least you can follow you team on ESPN or a live feed via official website. I have to rely on Wiki to follow my team.
EDIT: while Iām thinking about it, I have a nubby question. Iām thinking about pre-ordering either Fifa 10 or PES 10. The thing is Iāve never owned either, so whats the differences between the two series?
Iāve only played the PC versions, and with FIFA itās nothing more than FIFA 99 gameplay with 04 graphics (I wish I was making that up). PES is a lot better but with a LOT less teams and leagues, but I donāt know about console versions.
LOL, I stepped out for 10 mins and it was 0-0. I come back and itās already 2-0. Lovely off-the-post dink from Owen. That penalty by carrick against burnly was terrible though.
Gallas is the luckiest scorer. No complaints from me though, a goal is a goal. Doesnāt matter if itās off his back or (this time) his face. Good showing by all the Gunners, Vermaelen is impressing greatly. Our defense can still use some work, but great game. Van Persie scoring against Celtic on Wednesday, Iām calling it now. He wanted one so bad today but his very good shots were blocked with very good goal keeping from David James.
As long as Fabregas is healthy the Gunners will do well, but the only snag is that Fabregas has capped enough games at his young age to rival those four or five years his senior and burnout is a real possibility for him.
P.S. Where do you guys get replays online? Iām down to just watching highlight reels and reading match reports right now.
Gallas stepped it up yesterday and scored an even luckier goal.Hiting the ball into your own face and into the goals is a sublime skill for any centre half.Good stuff yeasterday in genaral for the Arsenal (although I missed the game :sad: )
Great start to the season.Although I wouldnāt get too carried away yet,last week at Everton was great but itās fair to say Everton werenāt their usual selves and Portsmouth are in free fall.Bring on United next weekend,hope I can find somewhere to watch it in,Iāll be on holiday in Munich.

EDIT:If any Arsenal fans are interested in a great daily blog try Arseblog.Itās the best one and can be quite funny.
FIFA has been better than PES for the last two years and itās the same this year. Get FIFA 10.
they kept on copying pes till they finally got better then pes at it. yeah only for the last 2 years and i hope this the last. motherfuck EA.
