Le Grove - Arsenal blog featuring Arsenal news

Good morning Grovers! It’s cold, it’s wet and we’re playing Stoke. In fact, looking out the window, it looks like the scummiest team in the North has brought down it’s dour miserable atmosphere along with it just to hack us all off. Still, apparently we can’t complain, we’ve made about 50 more fouls than them this year. Tonight we host them at the Emirates, it’s the game that was postponed before Christmas and it’s an absolute must win for us. I’m pretty sure we’ll have far too much in the locker for them and hopefully the boys see this one as a bit of a personal vendetta and they truly do dish out a spanking. There’s not really much to look out for with Stoke. They’ve got a few players in their side that are hugely underrated. Ricardo Fuller is certainly one of them, factor in John Carew and Robert Huth from set pieces as well. They’ve also added Jermaine Pennant to their set up. If Stoke pick up a freekick

Jets Send Pats Packing
The Sports Poet

With the Colts and the Pats, Now out of the way, To Pittsburgh the Jets go, One AFC team left to play. But lets take a minute, And take it all in, Coming into this contest, No one thought they could win. Brady is too good, “The Hoody” is way too smart, Don’t underestimate the Jets, Cuz that just won’t fly with Bart… Click here to watch video This season seems magical, Knocked off the league’s top 2 QB’s, Now on to Big Ben, Let’s bring this ex-con to his knees. But again back to the Pats, Sanchez held his own, Didn’t do anything for the Jets to lose, How quickly he’s grown. Now let’s give some credit, Where almost all credit is due, Our lock down defense, Corners, linebackers and even linemen too. All season long, Jets relied on their blitz, But today Shaun Ellis stepped up, Defensive line was chock full of big hits. Brady was sacked, Grand total of 5 times, Seemed shook after a while, Probably couldn’t walk a strai

Arsenal vs. Birmingham
Watchouttips's Blog

By Joe, www.Bettingexpert.com The Carling Cup will be the first silverware of the English season to be won and both Arsenal and Birmingham are hunting for their first after many many years without. This match will be played at the Wembley Stadium with a kickoff at 16:00 on Sunday in a most likely event of a full capacity Wembley in high voices. Arsenal have been silverwareless for the last six years and the time has come for them yet again to be close and hopefully get their hands on some this season. According to Manager Arsene Wenger this could be the gateway for further success as they are still in three other competitions. Arsenal will be without Theo Walcott, Captain Cesc Fabregas, Frimpong, Vermaelen and Walcott. Diaby, Koscielny and Van Persie are all doubtful but should find a place either on the bench or starting line up. Birmingham are a physical team that will give Arsenal a run for the money. Their key player will be Zignic with his height and physical presents. There will

Denílson
Jack's Postcard Blog

Without wanting to sound harsh, Denílson is quite possibly the most expensive flop in World football (although Fernando Torres may yet claim that honour). After becoming the most expensive footballer when Real Betis bought him in 1998 (for £21.5m) his career was a huge disappointment. An unsuccessful 7 year spell in Sevilla was followed by several different (and short lived) spells all across the world, taking him to places such as the Middle East, USA and Vietnam. Amazingly however, he played for Brazil 61 times and was even part of the 2002 World Cup winning squad.

The Rock News: A Force for South Cairns

Woree High School Sports Grounds Member for Cairns Desley Boyle announced South Cairns is set to benefit from $178,298 in Bligh Government funding as part of the Sport and Recreation Infrastructure program.

Arsenal Arsenal

Written by ryandanielwood It’s been almost as long as AFC have gone without a trophy since I last posted a feature on AA. I don’t know if that makes this post a case of perfect timing and fate, it probably doesn’t. I just can’t help but want to express myself whilst the Arsenal are on the brink of expressing themselves all the way to a little piece of history! Yeah…that’s definitely it! And what a chapter in our grandest of club histories it could prove to be. After peeling myself off the ceiling from ARSE-BARCE Round 1, I’ve become a little partial to dreaming of a spectacular quadruple don’t y’know?. Come on, don’t roll your eyes now, it could happen. The Red and White machine has been blowing gaskets and valves over the past five seasons, and when the going’s been good, the tank has either run out of gas or the fragile underbelly has suffered from a lack of maintenance. What about if this year “The business end

Nasri Agrees Terms, Spare A Thought For Rambo & Wembley Beckons
A Cultured Left Foot

In the midst of the bad news about Cesc and Theo missing tomorrow’s Carling Cup Final, outstanding news about Samir Nasri with his contract terms apparently agreed and ready to be signed. It is just the tonic, vindication for the club’s attitude of taking these matters out of the spotlight and dealing with them quietly as opposed to the issue continually be raked through the back pages. Frequently Arsenal’s transfer and contract policy – generally secretive – is criticised,  targets tumbling through the back pages as if Autumnal leaves fallen to the ground, swept along in the clearing breeze. The policy though pays off when senior players are able to deal with these matters away from the media gaze and concentrate on football, on the pitch where it really counts. Twelve Months On On the periphary is Aaron Ramsey, someone for whom we should spare a thought this weekend. Tomorrow is the first anniversary of the assault which set back his career. Perhaps he i

On Sweat and Balls
makesmeweakintheknees

The term “azkal”, or asong kalye, is a colonial term in the Philippines, usually referring to dogs with unknown breeds roaming around the streets. But now, these stray dogs are now called “aspins,” a shorter term for asong Pinoy. Similarly, azkal is no longer used in reference to a dog; it is, in fact, the name of the Philippine Football Team: Azkals. The latter has been in the news lately because it had managed to compete in the semi-finals of the recently-concluded Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) Football Federation Suzuki Cup – undoubtedly a feat because it is the country’s first.  The Philippines is not known to excel in the field of football, so it came as a surprise to Filipinos that the Azkals was able to make it. Somehow, the said sport became recognized by Filipinos. Meanwhile, the sport basketball in the country is of a very different story. Its popularity is definitely undeniable. Although the beginning of its fame can be traced back during the American occupa

Photographs and memories
Bold New City 5.0

This afternoon, while looking for the perfect photo to make a birthday card, I went through a number of old (read: four to eight years ago) photo files. They brought back terrific memories, especially those from 2005. So, here’s a little nostalgia. (Click the photos for more information.) What I remember vividly about Super Bowl week 2005 is the great number of people around Downtown Jacksonville. There were pedestrians everywhere: crossing the Main Street Bridge, along East Bay Street, in Friendship Park and at The Landing, on both Riverwalks. Pedicab companies were in town, and stretch limos were popular choices as well. At night, the Main Street bridge was closed to vehicles, and it was a great thrill to ride a bike across the bridge in the traffic lane. One of my most distinct memories is riding down from Springfield with a friend Friday night. We wanted to see the action and feel the energy. At Main and Bay, it was easy enough to ride our bikes. At Bay and Newnan, we had to

He is Being Traded Where?!?! – Lovely Sports Rumors
BU and Beyond: Sports Blog

By Tera Lyons The fabulous world of sports is filled with its’ share of rumors. Everyone misinterpreting signals, assuming the underlying meanings of interviews, and analyzing the plays of thousands of athletes all cause these crazy stories that lead to backlash on athletes and coaches. That is what we get for having instead access to media and instant ways to post our opinions to articles. Sometimes picking through the information can be a difficult job. It can also be frustrating for fans who just found out their favorite player may not be on the team much longer or isn’t starting. What led me to look into this was the crazy Carmelo Anthony episode. He was asked by media if his moves were in stone and if he was being traded. Unfortunately for the media, another basketball player stepped up and told Anthony not to answer the question. That leaves hundreds of media sources interpreting what that move could have meant and assuming all these crazy things. Ends up he was finishing trade d
