THE CELTIC COACH BLAMES NEYMAR FOR THE RED CARD BROWN GOT.

 The referee first wanted to show Brown a yellow card,.but he then showed a straight  red card .
 Now the reason for the straight red card was that Brown was very stupid to kick Neymar in the back , with his boots.

 He is a far better midfielder hen John Obi Mikel .
 But the Spanish coach Vicente Del Busquets  has now recalled Juan Mata  for the remaining matches, which Spain play  for the 2014 world cup.

WHAT MADE MESUT OZIL SETTLE SO FAST AT ARSENAL?

 It is a fact it is not at all easy to settle down from one league and country to another, from the very first day  he played in the E.P.L.
As he is from Germany  and joined Arsenal from the Spanish giants Real Madrid, which is known for  having its famous GALACTICOS each year, you can say the cream of the best footballers in the world.  So naturally there is going to be frequent clashes  of their egos in their dressing room, and may be taken well into the pitch.
 But how did Mesut Ozil  adjust so soon and well, the answer is simple there were already  three German footballers in Arsenal, who convinced him that Arsenal was the team for him, and there are no famous stars in the Arsenal team, all youngsters  and so one thing is missing in their dressing room clashing of their egos..
 He was also surprised at the quality of the Arsenal team play and above all their long serving manager Arsene Wenger.

CAPE VERDE ARE DISQUALIFIED FROM THE FINAL MATCH VERSES TUNISIA.

The player  who was banned  for four matches was Fernando Varela.

SHOULD DAVID MOYES BE SACKED.?

 Fans sure have short memories , it was understood  who ever filled the boots of Alex Ferguson  when he retired  would have to fill very big shoes. He was manager at Manchester United from 1986 to 2012. In these years Real Madrid had 22  managers, Ferguson won 38  major trophies , say the same as Real Madrid won..
 Alex Ferguson  personally  chose  David Moyes , he must be seeing something in him to recommend  him.
 Jose Mourinho  has said that he cried openly when David Moyes was chosen, now the point is why the sudden  vulnerability  from the Manchester United  players.
1) Ferguson left in a hurry , it came as a big surprise to all., are these players respecting David Moyes in the room..
2) Wayne Rooney was kept on the bench to long, and danny Welbeck was a failure.
3) He tinkered with the team to much.
4) The defence is far to rusty and old Vidic, Ferdinand and Evra are well in their thirties
5) Luis Nani was kept on the bench Ashley Young was useless only dived around.
Now please give David Moyes some time , if you look into their records Alex Ferguson joined Manchester United  after the 1986 world cup in Argentina. The first choice was Arsene Wenger , but Arsene Wenger rejected the job as he was under contract then. So from 1986 to 1993 Alex Ferguson won nothing at Manchester United, so will David Moyes get a equal fair time at the club? I VERY HOPE SO.

REAL MADRID WANT TO BUY LUIS SUAREZ IN JANUARY TRANSFER WINDOW.

 THE DAILY MIRROR  has reported that the Spanish giants  Real Madrid , who are third in the spanish table  table behind Barcelona, Atletico Madrid , are desperate to get a proven striker in their team, to solve their goal drought problems, the money that they will be willing to pay here is 45 million pounds..
 Even if Liverpool were willing to sell Luis Suarez, which is a big IF  , Liverpool would demand 80  to 90  million pounds for him.
 Now that is way beyond  Real Madrids  purse.. Spanish clubs are selling their best players  abroad to generate funds.
And Real Madrid still owe  Tottenham Hotspurs  money in the Luka Modric sale, now they have spent 100 million Euros for Gareth Bale, and they will only pay by instalments of 12.50 million  pounds a year  till the year 2017.And that is not all they sold a few players to make money like Mesut Ozil, but they spent over 80 million pounds on players  like Isco and others.
Now one thing is clear Real Madrid had a debt last year of 590 million pounds.It will only increase with Ronaldo and Gareth Bale salary.
 John Henry will say one thing WHAT ARE THEY SMOKING IN REAL MADRID.

IT IS TIME FOR JOE HART TO BE REPLACED FOR ENGLAND, AS A GOALKEEPER.

 It is definitely  time for England to drop their first choice goalkeeper  that is Joe Hart , of Manchester City, he is making far to many mistakes  and gifting the opponent's goals  as well as precious points..
e made a few mistakes in the E.P.L  especially the game  verses Cardiff City.
 And in the champion League  he gifted Bayern Munich two early goals, and that match ended 3-1  in the favour of Bayern Munich.
 Roy Hodgson has chosen him as the goalkeeper for England in the world cup qualifiers , at this rate the English fans better keep their finger crossed, he will be another Robert Green or David James, nicknamed Calamity James.

WHO IS REALLY MAKING ARSENAL TICK?

 Arsenal this season suddenly  have bloomed to team working like a well greased engine ..They were good in the past but something was lacking really badly here, and what was it?
 This year only Mesut Ozil joined for a club record fee of 42.5 million pounds, on the last day of the transfer window.
 Now after paying this huge price you expect something in return, and he did just that with a huge interest  as well to Arsene wenger ,, because he had great faith in Mesut Ozil, something Real Madrid  failed to show.
The arrival of Mesut Ozil gave life to the club, aaron ramsey started scoring goals frequently.
 But here we must not forget a midfielder who joined Arsenal on a free transfer from A.C.Milan.He is Mathieu  Flamini , who played fr Arsenal till 2005. He was the important man as well  as defending midfielder  and  is roughly doing the work that Patrick Vieira did, all the dirty work you could say.. Yes Mathieu Flamini does not have the build of Patrick Vieira , but has the same desire to play, it is his feeding Aaron Ramsey  for those goals.

 The Arsenal under 18  years player, the very talented player very much in the mould of Jack Wilshere, has now got into trouble by the English F.A , who have now gone and given  him a four match ban , for breaking Rule E.3.
 He was involved in racial abusing in a  match for the under 18 year.
 The  RULE E. 3 states  you can get five match ban for ethnic, colour  or any race.
 And as it happened in a match in the under 18 years in March 2013 he got only four  match ban, if it happened this year he would have got five matches.
 Arsenal and Arsene Wenger  have a zero tolerance to this racial abuse, and come very hard on players. for racial abuse.
 It is revealed by George Boateng that he left Italy and joined a German club, because he was racially abused in Italy.

 I wonder what would have happened after the result of 2-0 win for Arsenal.?

ARSENAL THRASH NAPOLI 2-0 IN THE CHAMPION LEAGUE.

 Of all the big talk by the president of Napoli ,. Who said Arsenal  were negotiating to get Gonzalo Higuain  from Real Madrid , but Napoli did the deal in just ten minutes, they paid Real Madrid  31.7 million pounds.
 But Napoli was a strong team , as they used the 55 million pounds they got for selling Edison Cavani , and they had 50 million pounds to spend as well, so new players arrives. But that was on paper only.
 In the champion League it was a different story altogether.
The gunners won the match 2-0 , and it was humiliating to the Naples club. The first goal was a beauty  it started  with a long kick by their defender Bacary Sagna  to Aaron Ramsey who kicked the ball to Mesut Ozil, who controlled  the ball in kicked it like a cannon ball passed the helpless Jose Reina,.
 The second goal was scored by Olivier Giroud , after a very neat pass from Mesut Ozil.
The first goal was scored in the eighth minute and the second goal came  in the fifteenth minute. By then this Champion League match was well and truly over.
 The Napoli player said if you let in two goals in eighteen minutes, then it is  unpardonable .

WHEN MANCHESTER UNITED PINCHES CRISTIANO RONALDO FROM ARSENAL.

 Arsene Wenger has  come and taken the football world by surprise  , when he said that the footballs greatest star Cristiano Ronaldo was pinched from under their noses by Manchester United, when he was at Sporting Lisbon , Portugal.
 In fact Cristiano Ronaldo was at Arsenal for a trial, he had a jersey number 9  with Ronaldo on the back .
 But then the Manchester United assistant manager  Carlos Queiroz , who comes from Portugal flew back to Lisbon Portugal  and sign was taken, stolen from below the noses of Arsenal.
 Like that Arsene Wenger has missed some great players whom he spotted when they were young, as he finds stars young.
1) Petr Cech  the present Chelsea goalkeeper, failed to get a work permit.
2) Yaya Toure  also failed to get a work permit , he then joined Barcelona.

THE NAPOLI PRESIDENT BOASTS THAT HE GOT HIGUAIN IN TEN MINUTES .

 The president of the Italian football club Napoli Aurelio De Laurentiis , boasts that he got the transfer of Gonzalo Higuain from Real Madrid, in just ten minutes.While Arsenal tried for weeks.
 Here we must remember that Gonzalo Higuain father Jorge , who is also his agent , had reached terms with Real Madrid  to sell Gonzalo Higuain for nineteen million pounds, but it steadily rose as Real Madrid  wanted more money, it reached 21 million pounds then 22 million pounds and finally  23 million pounds , Arsenal made it very clear to Real Madrid that  they would not pay more then 24 million pounds for Gonzalo Higuain.
 In this time Napoli sold their striker Edison Cavani to P.S.G for 55 million pounds, his buy out clause ., with this money they wanted to get a striker to replace Edison Cavani so they paid 31.7 million pounds for him to Real Madrid, plus add ons.
Now Real Madrid but Gareth Bale for a world record of 100 million Euros, silly price , they also got Isco and others for over 30 million pounds , so Mesut Ozil and Gonzalo Higuain was  sold at a very high price indeed, and in January Sami Khedira will be sold.

THE GLAZERS TO GIVE MOYES 100 MILLION POUNDS TO SPEND IN JANUARY.

 The Glazer family has promised  the Manchester United manager David Moyes that in the January transfer window a sum of hundred  million pounds would be given  to him to buy and strengthen the Manchester  United team , to reach the top four in the E.P.L this year.
 There is one thing to provide the money to buy the players , and another thing to buy the correct player for each position.
 We can clearly take the case of Arsenal , they had a total of  70 million pounds to buy any player, and in the end Arsene Wenger could get one player  free and  Mesut Ozil  for 42.5 million pounds only.
 And today Manchester United are standing twelfth  on the table with every chance of them falling down even further down the table, then will players join Manchester United in January.
But one thing is clear that the Glazers should give David Moyes more time at the club.
