Where Do We Go From Here?
By: Martin | 4 Comments
Well, that wasn’t much fun to watch. I won’t bother with a recap, I assume everyone saw it. Frankly, the way we played, it could have been much, much worse, especially early, as Almunia made some key saves, especially the two point-blank saves on Tevez.
Okay, let’s get the usual caveats out of the way–Wenger [...]
Manchester United-Arsenal Game Thread

There are a number of liveblogs going on around these parts, but sadly neither Martin nor I can join them. I’ll be taking in the game from a local pub and am stoked about doing such. It’s a huge game for Arsenal today as they look to win the Champions League for the first time [...]
Manchester United First Leg Preview

Well, tomorrow’s the big one, the first leg of the Champions League semifinal at Old Trafford. Games like this are why you follow football in the first place–it’s more than 24 hours before kick-off and I’m having a tough time focusing on anything else. Does it get any better than a huge match-up against a [...]

Well, there’s not a tremendous amount to say about that game. We won fairly comfortably–2-0 is hardly the most dominant of scorelines, but you really never got the sense that we were coming away from the game with anything other than 3 points.
Fabregas scored both goals and had to have been the man of [...]

Lineups are in:
Middlesbrough:
Jones
McMahon-Wheater-Huth-Taylor
O’Neil-Bates-Tuncay-Downing
Aliadiere-King
Bench: Turnbull, Hoyte, Digard, Emnes, Alves, Johnson, Grounds
As for us, it’s close to what I predicted yesterday, with Almunia coming into the squad and Eboue spelling Sagna:
Almunia
Eboue-Toure-Silvestre-Gibbs
Walcott-Fabregas-Denilson-Nasri
Bendtner-Arshavin
Bench: Fabianski, Diaby, Sagna, Vela, Song, Djourou, Adebayor
Good news about Almunia, as this will give him a chance to get game sharp again before Wednesday’s game. Worrying [...]
Middlesbrough Preview

Middlesbrough
Current Position: 18th, 7-10-16 (31 points, -22 goal differential)
Away Form: 2-2-12
Recent Form: DLLWD
Last Meeting: Boro 1-Arsenal 1 (12/13/08)
Boro visit the Emirates tomorrow. Anything less than 3 points will be a disappointment, and there are certainly plenty of reasons to think that’s what we’ll get. Boro are serious relegation candidates, and have really struggled to score [...]
Anelka, FA Both Still Stupid
By: Martin | 2 Comments
Shocking, I know.
The FA came out and formally charged Cesc with improper conduct following Phil Brown’s made-up spitting accusations. Look, not to go all Rafa on you, here, but here goes…
FACT: In the same interview where he accused Cesc of spitting, Phil Brown said: “He [Arsene Wenger] wouldn’t shake my hand when we beat them [...]
Mixed Bag Injury Update
By: Martin | No Comments
Well, injury news today, and there’s some good and some bad.
First, the good news. No one was hurt in Tuesday’s Liverpool match, so there are no new names to add. Manuel Almunia and Johan Djourou both participated in a full training session today, and could be back as soon as Sunday. Adebayor is also close [...]
