Today - Around Europe + Other News

Barcelona + Other News:

- Although the league season is ending soon, Barcelona feel very comfortable at the top of the league, but they know they need to continue to keep working hard and never giving up. They also have to be agile in their decisions of the injuries on Marquez and Edmilson.

Manchester Utd + Other News:

UEFA and Racism are not good partners

As for some racist fans, they could be helping in the process of losing their teams points for making racist comments. (Spanish side Real Zaragoza were last week fined the equivalent of £6,000 after Barcelona striker Samuel Eto'o was abused by sections of their supporters, but far more stringent penalties could be introduced.) - from soccernet.com. My opinion is that the process UEFA chiefs are taking is stupid and pointless. Why punish a team for the misdoings and leaden brains off the fans? How about they just fine the fans in particular or, ban them (for life) from going to any other soccer games in the area. The point is that UEFA chiefs are acting overbored!

2 Fabulous UEFA Games

In the past 3 days, 4 teams have played 2 amazing games. In the first game, (Arsenal vs. Real Madrid) Henry scored a goal in the second half giving Arsenal an amzing win and making Real Madrid feel like nothing. Some may say that Arsenal are terrible but, if we really think about it, they are the best. They play true soccer, pass and move. They also ever give up, always playing 110% to the end. Thus, they beat Real Madrid!


As for Barcelona vs. Chelsea, there (surprisingly) 2 own goals. The first commited by Barcelona's Motta and Chelsea's Terry. Not only did Chelsea score a own goal, they also recieved a red card on behalf of Del Horno in the first half and,Eto'o helped Barcelona win the game 2-1 withan amzing header. Chelsea's manager Mourinho also blames their lose on the fact that the ref awarded the red card to Del Horno.

Sunderland Remain In Last

Blackburn beat Sunderland 2-0. Bellamy scored both goals for Blackburn (pictured below when he played for Newcastle). For Sunderland, they have won a total of 2 games of 26, lost 20 games of 26 and, tied 4games of 26. These stats basically show you how bad an EPL team can be. For Sunderland, they most definately are heading to the next lower division.

Arsenal Lose Once Again!

Yes, no surprise. Arsenal loose to Liverpool 1-0. Henry needs to move to a different team for a better future. He has already broken a goal scoring record on Arsenal. Maybe he should have gone to Barcelona earlier in the season. As for Arsenal as a whole, they have excellent players not playing to their potential. Even though Arsenal has many good individuals, it does not seem like they are working as a team. For example, Chelsea: they have good players and work well together => they win games= 1st place. Or maybe, Arsenal players just don't work well together. Well, it looks like Arsene Wenger has a lot of work to do!

Yes, it's also true that Gerrard missed a PK! How can he miss a shot like that!? Also, Garcia scored in the 87th minute.


If Arsenal could hold up for 86 minutes, you would think they would give 110% but, they didn't. They let up and this is exactly what happens when you let up.

Chelsea Give Us a Surprise!

Chelsea lost to Middlesbrough, 3-0. It was devastating for the whole team and especially Chelsea boss, Jose Mourinho. Although Chelsea lost, it is not terrible news for them because they still are in 1st and have not done anything forcing them to win any of their remaining games in the season. For Middlesbrough, Fabio Rochemback, Stewart Downing, and Aiyegbeni Yakubu. For Chelsea, they recieved 3 yellow cards on top of a defeat. I am sure that Mourinho was very unhappy with his teams performance and will be looking for betternext time!
