I believe Arsene Wenger can coax this team to rise to the occasion and punch above their weight. If Arsenal pass the tests at Manchester United and Manchester City with flying colors and continue to stay cautious, focused and motivated, they could very well end their five year trophy drought.
Who would have thought Michael Owen will be training at Old Trafford? Even though it has been a week since the official transfer was announced, the debate on his suitability rages on, at times emotionally charged with disbelief, vitriol and ridicule.
There is a price for everything. Sir Alex Ferguson declared indignantly in December that he wouldn’t sell the Real Madrid mob a virus, not to mention his crowning jewel, Cristiano Ronaldo, but when an astronomical £80 million check is waved enticingly, principles can be swayed.
I believe Alex Ferguson will made the right decision for Manchester United. In any case, he has successfully reduced Carlos Tevez’s impact on Manchester United’s dominance and they will be none the worse in terms of challenging for titles even if Tevez depart.
Barcelona are on track for a Spanish treble but of late, the euphoria surrounding this scintillating team has fizzled out and they have looked less than invincible. Not to take anything away from the Blaugrana, they remain the most thrilling team in Europe on their day.
Chelsea and Arsenal, two distinguished clubs in FA Cup history, went head to head in a hugely anticipated semi-final encounter on Saturday. With both teams peaking and no clear advantage to either team, it was always going to be a battle of wits which goes right to the wire.
Alan Shearer is back with the Toon Army. To many Newcastle United fans, this fact has not yet sunk in, and coming hours before April Fool’s day, there was a sense of surrealism to it. We will know if this is a marriage made in heaven in 8 matches but the romance will be good while it lasted, regardless of whether Newcastle are relegated.
