The stats are in Rooney's favour in the striking position. Can he replicate the form of previous years in a striking role this term? Only time will tell...
Diary of a Gooner by Nrabalu A. E. The news that Hector Bellerin is going to miss the clash with Bayern tonight, comes a familiar sigh of resignation. I say familiar because this sort of 'news' isn't that anymore. The most promising youngster in all of English football is lost, well, we'll survive or won't we? Matthieu Debuchy will deputise superbly, we'll fight out a draw, maybe even a win and subsequently qualify in 1st place. I know, that's how it plays out in my dream. As an Arsenal fan if you're not used to the roller coaster you're just joining, at this club everything is never really perfect, not even close. Forget about injuries, our trophy drought was well documented, we have overcome it, but not with the big one. I'd say it's coming this season but remember how nothing is ever really perfect at this club? I'm sure you wanna argue, this has been a mind blowing start to a season, best in a while. Important players firing on a...
The battle for the most coveted piece of silverware in English football continues this weekend, with the promise of two fiercely contested London derbies in the offing. Arsenal, seeking to bounce back from their under par display at home to the Citizens, visit the SW6 to take on a Chelsea side that eased to a 3-0 victory over David Wagner's Huddersfield Town. Fulham travel to Wembley to take on stellar Spurs -- a side they last met in the FA Cup two seasons ago, the Lilywhites running out 3-0 winners at Craven Cottage, with the help of a Harry Kane hat trick. One can only expect another keenly contested outing, as results would prove telling, in validating the credentials of the London heavy weights this season. Arsenal take on Chelsea at Stamford Bridge this weekend. For the Manchester clubs, the buzz at both camps would be to simply do more of the same. Both kicked off the season with wins, and would be looking to go further up the table, as City host lowly Huddersfi...
Neymar showed once again why he is been tipped as the heir to Messi and Ronaldo's dominance in the Balon d'Or by putting in a fine display as Brazil all but booked a spot at next year's FIFA World Cup in Russia with a 3-0 home win against Paraguay. Neymar was the Captain for the day, his first time of wearing the armband since March last year and he didn't fail to impress as he scored his 52nd international goal. Philippe Coutinho scored the first goal of the encounter 10 minutes before the recess after combining with Paulinho, who scored a hattrick against Uruguay a few days back. Neymar then scored the second from the penalty spot after 64 minutes. Marcelo put some gloss on the scoreline with four minutes remaining to hand the CONMEBOL leaders their ninth successive victory under Coach Tite. What a way to qualify for the World Cup. Is Brazil getting their mojo back?
