Xoph, here's what you do. During fullmoon, go to their stadium and see if they're doing any weird rituals.

Good luck to Saint-Etienne for next week's fixture.

Carling Cup Final! Arsenal VS Chelsea!
ARGHHHHH!!
Arsenal LOST!!! 2-1!! Damn!!

Did you see the end when both teams were fighting XDD Haha it went up to 100 mins.. Damn Chelsea won... Did you see the happy look on Ashley Cole's face?? That b.e.t.r.a.y.e.r! LOL

Ah... thought Arsenal might win... They tried so hard... And it's not likely they'll win the other cups.
I mean, it is Theo Walcott's first goal... *sigh* But I guess the 'little boys' has put up quite a fight against those 'big boys' XP

Oh yeah... Best wishes to John Terry as well =S That must've been painful... Ack.

Sooo. That's Arsenal losing twice in a row. >=C They best win on Wednesday! After a record of being unbeaten for 1/2 year. And they could've set another record if they won this match as well =( 'The youngest team to win the cup in English history' or something like that (21.6 years old).

Emm.. yeah.. the result is 1-1 at half time. I dunno why, but this match feels like less appealing to me. In fact, I just tune the TV just a couple of minutes before Chelsea leveled with Arsenal.

Although I'm an Arsenal supporter too, but somehow, I don't actually feels like watching it. It's not about the level of the competition, but just don't feel like it :/

 

[venicia777]

well, the arsenal young ones played well above themselves. Although what struck me most was i really felf sorry for John Terry.

You know-- i know he is back up. But if this continues his tenure with the English National team will be a short one.

I was really impressed with allt the arsenal youngsters. They difinitely hold their own in the game against chlesea. On another day, arsenal youngsters might have won. They definitely had chances to win the game.

Did anyone watch the game where Barcelona pounced Bilbao 3-0? I just love seeing the chemistry between Ronaldinho and Eto'o, he even set up the goal for Eto'o. And did anyone see Ronaldinho fooling the Bilbao's defense line. That man is worthy of being the world's greatest player, the dribble and fakes he did is awesome!

 

[Epul]

It's good to hear barcelona playing well after their crappy performance against liverpoot in th Champion's League.

 

[bax]

Heh.. Actually Chelsea won the Carling Cup After coming on from behind. Both by Drogba. I gotta admit, he is impressive this season.

But, what a shame. A really exciting match turned out to be sad at the end. Wih 3 red cards and 2 yellow cards just from that incident

This one is just too beautiful I need to share it

Second goal of Saint-Etienne against Paris yesterday (we won 2-0, w00t ) One of the prettiest goals of the year for sure

A good sign for our match against Lyon saturday, I hope

 

[bax]

That is indded a great goal Xophy..

But, no offense, I'm a Lyon supporter in the French League

 

[Epul]

Yep I agree great goal. Reminds me of a Rivaldo goal way back when he was playing for barcelona.
Good luck Saint-Etienne, beating Lyon wont't be easy.

 

[bax]

Yeah true.. Lyon is a strong team.

Anyway, for the Carling Cup final between Arsenal and Chelsea :

Theo Walcott's goal Arsenal 1 - Chelsea 0
Didier Drogba 1st goal Arsenal 1 - Chelsea 1
Didier Drogba 2nd goal Arsenal 1 - Chelsea 2

The Brawl Part One
The Brawl Part Two

Chelsea won the Carling Cup The End

 

[thegreatest08]

that was one awesome match, especially the brawl.

FA cup replay results:
Reading 2-3 Manchester United
Blackburn Rovers 1-0 Arsenal

Man united and Blackburn go through to the quarter finals.
Reading gave man utd a good fight and another disappointing day for arsenal.

 

[ibra87]

Meh. When I heard Arsenal were going to play without Henry I expected a loss. What a shame.

 

[Babii-Boo]

Arsenal lost last night against Blackburn 0-1. That's Arsenal out of the FA cup. Losing 3 times in a row... and out of 2 tournaments in 4 days. It's unlikely that they'll win the premier league and champions league... guess this year is just not Arsenal's year again.

But Arsenal could've won yesterday's match. There were at least 2 penalties to Arsenal and yet the ref didn't do anything. It was harsh, a goal to Blackburn with only 4 mins remaining.

that was a superb goal. And it is true-- it is similar to a Rivaldo goal (i think in one of the world cup games he played in).

I saw about 3 much more spetacular goals in the ConCaCAF league last week during a 10-best goals TV-release.


Good Luck to st Etienne.

 

[Xophien]

Good Luck to st Etienne.

Still two days before the match and I can't handle the stress already. I'm gonna die before the match at this rate...

 

[venicia777]

add that to the stress of waiting for Naruto and One Piece.

Anyways-- anybody heard of who won the African Best Player award. i heard there is a ceremony in Ghana this week. Etoo and Essien are in contention. As well as Drogba.

 

[Xophien]

Drogba won with 79 votes, Eto'o is second with 74 votes and Essien only has 39.
