van Persie Winner Is As Close To A Work Of Art As Football Gets
A Cultured Left Foot &bull Dec 11, 2011
Befitting the occasion, Arsenal's anniversary party ended with a single goal victory. A club synonymous with that scoreline laboured on a day of celebration, winning with a combination of style and defensive durability that rekindled memories of yesteryear. Traditions are cherished at the club; scoring once matched the tally in the 75th and Centenary matches. On reflection, it was a victory that should have been more comfortable. There was a familiar feeling at half-time, the players trudging in level despite the numerous opportunities to take a match-winning advantage. Other teams may have been despondent at that interval scoreline yet it… Full Story »

So much so that the first… Full Story »

Four Score
That's on Points &bull Dec 5, 2011
Excuses are like ... Yuuup (tm) ... Yakubu, yes, that Yakubu scored four goals Saturday for Blackburn Rovers in a 4-2 win over Swansea City. That's one of those great sports photos that tells the entire story, as the Swansea players are seemingly in as much shock as everyone else on planet Earth. Alternately, the standing still, jaw dropped, eyebrows raised defense probably (stress probably) isn't the best way to go about business.Fortunately for Swansea, allowing four goals to Yakubu -- who amazingly is only 29 years old -- isn't an instant Willy Wonka Golden Ticket back to the Championship.It… Full Story »
