Liverpool Wins At Arsenal

by David on August 20, 2011

Arsenal‘s miserable start to the season went from bad to worse as they lost 2-0 at home to Liverpool.

With one eye firmly on Wedensday’s all-important Champions League qualifier in Italy against Udinese, Arsene Wenger was forced to play wantaway midfielder Samir Nasri, as injuries and suspensions have exposed the lack of depth in the Arsenal squad.

This match seemed destined to ending up a 0-0 draw until Arsenal had Emmanuel Frimpong sent off after picking up his second yellow card with 20 minutes to go. Liverpool boss Kenny Dalglish immediately brought on Luis Suárez and Raul Meireles. The move worked as it was Suarez’s movement that cost the home team their first goal as Miquel’s nervy attempt in preventing the ball from reaching the Uruguayan somehow hit his own teammates, Ramsey, before bouncing into the Gunners’ net.

Blackpool And Birmingham City Are Relegated

by David on May 22, 2011

In a dramatic final day of the Premier League season, Blackpool and Birmingham City were relegated while Wolves stayed up despite losing 3-2 at home to Blackburn.

Of the five teams in danger of being relegated, Blackpool had the toughest fixture, as they had to travel to Old Trafford and play the champions. Despite going a goal down to a Park goal, Blackpool fought back and halfway through the second half led 2-1, a result that would have kept them in the Premier League. But Blackpool’s defence has leaked goals all season and they did so again today as three United goals send Ian Holloway’s side down. Read more...

West Ham Relegated From Premier League

by David on May 15, 2011

West Ham United have been relegated after once again throwing away a two goal lead, as they lost 3-2 to Wigan. Two first half goals from Demba Ba gave Hammers fans hop that they could still avoid the drop. But once again the Hammers defence capitulated and two Charles N’Zogbia goals (57, 90+4) either side of a Conor Sammon effort sent West ham down. Immediately after the match, West Ham announced that Avram Grant had been sacked.

Liverpool Make Dalglish Appointment Permanent

by David on May 12, 2011

Liverpool‘s U.S. owners have finally signed Kenny Dalglish to a three-year deal to manager Liverpool.

Dalglish has restored pride and optimism on Merseyside. Consider that when he took over from Roy Hodgson in January, Liverpool were 12th in the Premier League, four points above the relegation zone. Today they are fifth and in position to qualify for next season’s Europa League with two matches to play.

In a statement Dalglish said: Read more... (292 words, 1 image, estimated 1:10 mins reading time)

Liverpool Hammer Fulham

by David on May 10, 2011

Liverpool ruthlessly sweep aside Fulham at Craven Cottage and moved above Spurs into fifth place and the final Europa League spot. The style that Liverpool showed was a message to the rest of the Premier League that Liverpool will be aiming to regain their mantle as most successful English side next season.

When King Kenny took over as Liverpool manager on January 9, Liverpool were in the bottom half and were a club lacking in confidence. Since then Liverpool have taken 33 points out of a possible 48. That projects to 78 points over a whole season, title contending form. Read more... (314 words, 2 images, estimated 1:15 mins reading time)

United Take Giant Step Towards Another Title

by David on April 23, 2011

A late header from Javier Hernández broke the resistance of Everton and sent Manchester United nine points clear at the top of the Premier League, for a few hours at least.

United were frustrated for long periods by a combination of saves from Tim Howard, and a defence ably marshalled by Sylvain Distin and Phil Jagielka. However, with six minutes left, Hernández, as he has done on several occasions this season, scored the winner, heading in Antonio Valencia’s deflected cross to the far post. Read more...

Arsenal Title Hopes Take Big Hit

by David on April 17, 2011

After 92+ minutes I was resigned to another Arsenal draw. A draw that would leave Arsenal six points behind Man United with six games to go.

Then Fabregas gets tripped in the box and Robin van Persie steps up to score a huge penalty deep into stoppage time and I thought that the Gunners had escaped with all three points.

Then with the last kick of the game, Dirk Kuyt scores from the penalty spot after Eboue had pushed Lucas.

Ahh the swings in emotion of following the Gunners!! Read more... (354 words, 1 image, estimated 1:25 mins reading time)
