Last weekend Arsenal dismantled Bolton at the Reebok and Arsene Wenger left some notes in a hotel room. The notes related to the importance of the team ethic. Perhaps Wenger should have had the Hull City hotel of choice searched on Sunday. Any any wisdom from Hull manager Phil Brown on the importance of taking chances when they are presented might be worthwhile. Hull City showed incredible resilience, took their opportunities when they arose and rode some breaks to pull off a win that will long be recounted.
Columbus Crew played like a team at the top of its game in beating nearest Eastern Conference rivals New England Revolution 1-0 on Saturday evening. The Crew did not allow the Revolution to settle and develop a rhythm to their game. The winner came from a well-rehearsed corner kick and even after Frankie Hejduk was sent off for incurring a second yellow card the Crew maintained a grip on the game.
The Crew now has an eight point lead with four games left in the race for the Supporters Shield which is awarded to the team with the best regular season record. Could we not just call them the League Champions?
Best forgotten…..
Arsenal should have had the game against Hull signed, sealed and delivered in the first half. But after failing to take their chances they paid a three point price for their lack of urgency and lost for only the second time at the Emirates.
Consecutive losses for Bayern Munich will increase the pressure on Jurgen Klinsmann at Bayern Munich. This weekend’s loss at Hannover was their first loss there since the spring of 1988. Klinsmann chose to rest a number of starters and faces a big match against Lyon in Champions League on Tuesday.
All you need to know about Spurs’ abysmal defending was clearly illustrated on the opening goal of the game against Portsmouth. A Pompey free kick was lazily handled by Jermaine Jenas in the penalty area and Jermain Defoe scored from the spot kick.
However, before the free kick Jonathan Woodgate and Jamie O’Hara both had time to clear the ball (twice) and made a right dogs breakfast of it. The ball finally broke to a Portsmouth player who O’Hara needlessly fouled and that set up the free kick.
Inter Milan may have only lost 1-0 to city rivals Milan but for almost all the derby on Sunday they were second best and could have been third best if it was possible. Outplayed and outfought on the field and out-thought in the dugout.
Best goals….
Arsenal paid the price for backing off Geovanni and allowing a free shot from 25 yards out. The Brazilian hit the ball sweetly and with great power leaving Almunia absolutely helpless. He may not score at lot of goals but when he does they are generally in the memorable category.
Since signing for Fiorentina from Milan during the summer Alberto Gilardino has five goals with three coming in league play. All three goals have been clutch ones helping to deliver wins over Bologna, Genoa and a draw against Juventus. Saturday’s winner against Genoa was a classic piece of finishing with the Italian international striker creating half a yard of space so he could swivel and hook the ball into the far corner.
Luis Antonio Valencia does not get a lot of recognition playing in Wigan’s midfield. However, the Ecuador international rarely gives the ball up, he has good speed, is very comfortable on the ball and drops back when needed. And he has a terrific shot on him. The opening goal against City was a blistering drive that left City keeper Joe Hart rooted to the spot.
Best Players….
During his time in the Premiership George Boateng has had a habit of reserving his best performances for underdog and back-against-the-wall situations. He added another on Saturday for Hull against Arsenal at the Emirates. Now well into his 30s Boateng covered acres of space and was a constant barrier to Arsenal’s attacks.
A hat trick is always something to savor but when it comes when your team is in desperate need then it is even better. Colorado Rapids striker Conor Casey helped his team to only their third away win of the season and inflicted on New York Red Bulls their second home defeat. Casey scored twice in the first half – one a penalty kick – and with the score tied at 4-4 Casey notched a delightful and dramatic last minute winner.
On Sunday in the Milan derby the midfield trio of Ambrossini, Seedorf and Gattuso provided the platform for Milan’s best performance of the season to date (yes better than beating Lazio 4-1). The #### never allowed Inter to settle and Seedorf in particular was outstanding.
Goal feast……
Werder Bremen went nap for the second straight week – this time against newly promoted Hoffenheim. Last week Bremen beat Bayern Munich 5-2 but Saturday’s win was even more dramatic. Bremen led 4-1 but the visitors fought back to 4—4 and in the process Bremen’s centre back Mertesaker was sent off. Ten-man Bremen then got a late winner through Mesut Ozil.
Colorado Rapids and New York Red Bulls scored seven in a goal filled first half that saw the visiting Rapids holding a single goal edge after 45 minutes. The Red Bulls equalized with around fifteen minutes left only for the Rapids to score a 90th minute winner.
North Americans in Europe….
Canadian international Rhian Dodds moved from Kilmarnock to Dundee on loan late last week and made his debut in a 2-0 loss to St. Johnstone.
Celtic are ready to sign 6ft 6in American goalkeeper Dominic Cervi to a three year deal. Final paperwork is pending.
Biggest Howlers……
The award of a penalty to Manchester United by an ideally positioned Rob Styles was a real stunner. My first reaction was shock that he was going to book Ronaldo for “diving.” The penalty against Jlloyd Samuel (correction from originally named) Ricardo Gardner was an even bigger shock. It was a regular tackle with the defender playing the ball and the attacker falling over the out stretched leg of the defender.
A comment from Toronto FC GM Mo Johnston about signing a designated player ("preferably I'd like him to be Canadian") next season set off a flurry of Julian de Guzman to TFC from Deportivo La Coruna stories north of the border.
De Guzman is at the top of his game, playing regularly in midfield for Deportivo La Coruna and is surely drawing a sizeable wage packet each week. Although he has solid all round talent his strength is the defensive side of the game and goals have never come easily for him. Hardly the type of player you would sign to the designated category to start with. What’s more a move to TFC from Liga while in his prime would hardly constitute ambition.
Goodness knows who started the ludicrous rumour but it says a lot for the sorry state of the Canadian soccer media that the story grew legs rather than being dismissed with a chuckle.
Stat facts…..
Fernando Torres’ double on Saturday against Everton at Goodison was only his fifth and sixth Premiership goals scored away from Anfield out of his 27 goals in total. It also constituted his first Premiership double away from Anfield and gives him three goals in two appearances against Everton.
West Brom’s win at Boro was their first in over 56 years. During that spell Boro had recorded 14 wins and 6 draws.
Saturday’s win over Arsenal was not the first time that Hull have finished on top – but it has not happened for a while. The last time? It was April 2, 1915 in front of a crowd of 8,000 with Hull winning 1-0 in a Division 2 game. For Arsenal it was a third straight loss after losing to Grimsby Town (1-0) and Huddersfield Town (3-0). Arsenal finished in 5th spot that season. The game took place just two years after Arsenal opened Highbury and four years before the club was elected to the First Division ahead of Tottenham Hotspur. Manchester City’s poor run of form against Wigan in the Premiership continued on Sunday. In seven Premiership encounters Wigan have won five and drawn the other two.
What was said….
David Conn believes that Premiership clubs can avoid the financial ill-effects of the current crisis because of the long-term television rights deals and season ticket money. We will see.
George Caulkin looks at the appointment of Joe Kinnear as “interim” Newcastle manager.
John Giles reckons that Roy Keane should look for other other work if abuse from fans is getting to him.
Simon Kuper tells us that thirty-two years ago and within seven days of each other four outstanding players came into the world.
News here that UEFA is taking the issue of gambling and match fixing more seriously by creating a monitoring unit. Has anyone read "The Fix" by Declan Hill yet?
Ian Plenderleith believes that MLS needs a team to dominate and therefore become truly detested.
Coming up this week…..
Match day 2 for the Champions League and the second leg of the UEFA Cup first round. Now with the arrival of the Europa Cup this is the last time you will get to enjoy a UEFA Cup first round. And to think that I have just stopped referring to it as the Fairs Cup.
With Serie A and Liga finally getting underway this weekend Europe is now firing on all cylinders. Good matches in prospect in every league you might wish to turn to.
Aston Villa v Liverpool
This is the sort of game that both teams need to win. Aston Villa to regain face after last week’s loss to Stoke and to show that they can worry the big four. Liverpool to solidify their impressive start in the Premiership from the perspective of a 100% record and to flush memories of their struggle in midweek against Liege in the Champions league.
History is certainly in favour of Liverpool. After winning five of the first six home matches against Liverpool in the Premiership, Villa is winless in the last ten having lost six of them. They have also been outscored 5 – 16. Ironically the only current member of the Villa squad to score against Liverpool at Villa Park is Rafa’s favourite left footed player Gareth Barry.
Villa’s last home win came on February 28, 1998 – over a decade ago – with a double (goals that is) from Stan Collymore with a young Michael Owen getting Liverpool’s lone marker.
Chelsea v Tottenham Hotspur
This is most one sided fixture in the history of the Premiership with Chelsea owning Spurs. In thirty-two games Chelsea have won 20, drawn 11 and lost only once. Considering that Chelsea is also unbeaten in their last 23 Premiership games and unbeaten at Stamford Bridge in 83 Premiership games things do not look good for a Spurs team that has once again started the season with two losses.
Last season game number three brought Derby and the false dawn of a 4-0 win. Optimists can point to Spurs Carling Cup win over Chelsea last March but since then Tottenham has only won three league games. This is a fixture with a history of some high scoring games – a 4-4 draw at WHL was a classic and we have also seen 4-3, 6-1, 3-2, 4-0, and 4-2 over the years. Another high scoring game is in prospect although it is unlikely to be one that will bring Spurs three points.
Fiorentina vs. Juventus
The Italian season normally starts off with the bigger clubs being kept apart as much as possible over the first few weeks. That is not the case here with the two teams that finished 3rd and 4th and who have both qualified for the group stage of the Champions League.
Fiorentina has made some excellent additions to their squad with Alberto Gilardino (Milan), Juan Vargas (Catania), Zauri (Lazio) and Sergio Almiron on loan from Juventus.
Juventus has also been busy with big money spent to bring in striker Amauri from Palermo. Defender Olaf Mellberg is another arrival on a “Bosman” from Aston Villa together with midfielder Christian Poulsen (Seville). Poulsen could be as important addition as Amauri.
Deportivo La Coruna vs. Real Madrid
Real Madrid is going for a third straight title but a visit to Deportivo La Coruna is one place where the words success and Real Madrid ring very hollow. Real has not won there since 1991 and hasn’t earned a point since 2002. It will be a somewhat depleted Real Madrid squad with the Dutch trio of Wesley Sneijder (injured), Ruud van Nistelrooy and Rafael van der Vaart (both suspended) all missing.
Last season really was a story of two halves for La Coruna. Over their first nineteen games they took only 14 points; the second half of the season a very respectable 38 points and only lost once at home. The reason was simple – a defence that improved considerably going from 31 against to 16. We might find out how much of that improvement was down to Fabio Colocinni who has since moved on to Newcastle.
St Etienne vs. Lyon
A fiercely contested derby game in prospect (is there any other kind) although one that has been very one-sided for a long-time. It is fourteen years and sixteen games since St. Etienne tasted victory over rivals Lyon – a 3-0 win in April 1994.
St. Etienne came awfully close last season with Lyon needing a very late strike from Benzema to grab a share of the points. Lyon has made a good start to the season with seven points from three games and has yet to let a goal in. However, the attack has stuttered somewhat with four of their five goals coming from set-pieces.
For Saint-Etienne their start has been less than impressive. A 2-1 win over Sochaux has been bookended with 1-0 losses to Valenciennes and Le Mans, leaving them 15th in Ligue Une.
Celtic vs. Rangers
And taking of derby games we finish with one of the biggest of them all. While Celtic and their supporters can look forward to epic European nights at Parkhead against Manchester United and Villarreal, Rangers are left on the outside looking with no place at the European Inn for them.
Celtic beat Rangers twice last April as part of their SPL run-in. Ultimately Celtic overtook a rapidly tiring Rangers to make it three SPL titles in a row. The two wins brought to an end a run of four straight Rangers wins and Celtic being held scoreless.
However, Celtic has a solid record against Rangers at Parkhead with fourteen wins in their last nineteen meetings.
There will be a number of players making their Old Firm debut (possibly Maurice Edu) or first appearance at Parkhead (DaMarcus Beasley). But the most attention will be paid to the man who has not only crossed the great divide but re-crossed it as well. Kenny Miller is a man of many clubs but no other player has moved to Rangers (from Hibs) then to Celtic (via Wolves) and back to Rangers (through Derby County).
To say Miller’s arrival is controversial and divisive for the Rangers faithful is an understatement but it is not stopping Bet365 offering odds of 25-1 that Miller will score and kiss the badge in celebration.
Henry14 - Q1 What do you make of Kroenke guy's increase in stake, what do think are his intentions? Q2 l saw Milan and they are really catching form at the right moment do you see them having a shout out red hot united because l feel Inzaghi and Gilardino are not good enough for Milan. Do you feel that the second leg being at Milan can be a disadvantage for United? Q3 What do you make the kissing and hugs of Roman and Jose? Q4 l do not feel the premier league is the best league because they are four teams that really and this season two that are in the title hunt were as in Germany and Spain the race is interesting which do you think is the best league and what does it take for the premiership to have a four way race?
Bobby – 1. To state the blindingly obvious Stan Kroenke's intention is to make money. The question is how will he go about it? He could be looking to take the club over himself and his present stake gives him a foothold. Second option is that he thinks someone will come along to buy the club and he will be able to turn a profit on his present stake – the JP McManus/John Magnier Manchester United strategy. The third possibility is that he foresees a battle for control coming from multiple sources and he might want to position himself as a potential “kingmaker”. Q2 – Two seasons ago I picked United to beat Milan because I didn’t think that Milan could control Giggs and Ronaldo – they did it with ease and went through to the final. Milan have got better as the competition has progressed and I thought they looked very comfortable in beating Bayern Munich in the second leg. As for Inzaghi and Gilardino not being good enough for Milan – it doesn’t really matter one way or another at the moment as these are the boys that Ancelotti will have to go with. I wouldn’t bet against either or both scoring against United. At this stage I am not sure that home or away second really makes any difference although given a preference I would take the first leg at home. Q3 – I choose not to read any of the Abramovich/Mourinho soap opera stories. Q4 – I have never understood the argument/discussion about what constitutes the “best-league” without spending an eternity over the definition of best. If the point is what league is the strongest then based on performances over the last four or five years the answer is Spain. It might marginally help the marketing guys to say that their league is the best but the bottom line is that if spectators and TV viewers don’t find the league exciting or engaging they won’t watch it. Soccer is a game that can be enjoyed at every level so I am constantly amazed at the number of so called fans that tell you that they hate such-and-such a league because it is ####. You don’t need two teams with great technical ability to provide an entertaining spectacle – that is part of the beauty of the game.
RINGO - How many non-league teams have won the FA Cup?
Bobby – As Venti_vidi_vici answered – Tottenham. It was actually part of the FA Cup preview article a few weeks back before Chelsea played Spurs in the quarter final. One piece of trivia to add to Spurs 1901 Cup win. Spurs started the tradition of hanging club colour ribbons to the trophy.
RINGO - I was just listening to the Thursday podcast of World Soccer Daily and they played another Mourinho parody, could you please post the address like last time?
Bobby – There seems to be a few of them out there. Check out the link.
Spike24 - There's a little controversy brewing among Reading supporters over whether we should be trying to secure a place in European competition this year or not. Some are disappointed that it seems we've given up on it, while others thing trying to get there would be too much too soon. Which way do you think Reading should be going? Knowing of course that Coppell is too smart to pull an Ipswich even if we were to qualify.
Bobby – I don’t any team is going to give up on a chance to play in Europe even though it might be considered “too early”. Reading have made great progress this season but the real test will be year two as so many teams have found out. It looks like Sidwell will be moving on and that will leave a big hole to fill. I sense that a couple of defenders might also be on the summer shopping list.
Gongatore - Can you chat a bit about what makes a player like Keano be able to lead a side like Sunderland to success so quickly? Does being coached by Sir Alex for all those years and his influence have much sway here? Also how much has Sheva contributed to making Drogba a better player this year?
Bobby – Given his record as a player then I can imagine (and has earned) that he has garnered instant respect from the players. After losing their first four games he also came into a situation where the players were looking for leadership and bought into his ideas. If you look at the number of times Sunderland have come back to win or turned a draw into a win this year then I think that is a strong indication of the confidence and drive that he has instilled in the players. He has also made some very good moves in the transfer market. Character players have been brought in while others have been moved on – I think something like 14 players have moved in or out since Keane arrived.
You have to remember that Keane’s first professional coach in England was Brian Clough so he has played under tow of the very best who have ever managed in England.
The Sheva/Drogba question has come up before and I do think that Shevchenko’s presence has helped Drogba although Drogba has been awesome this season.
henry14 - What do you think about the new Arsenal kit for 2007 which has petitions for rejection.
Bobby – I don’t think very much of it but there again kits have never been a big thing for me.
Venti_vidi_vici - I have a great deal of respect for the job Martin Jol has done at Spurs given his relative inexperience, especially the record performance last year when they pushed Arsenal all the way in the battle for fourth place. Is his job in jeopardy, especially if he misses out on Europe in a season where the goal was fourth place?
Do you think there is any possibility that the FA Cup final will be moved back a week, particularly if the same two teams are in the UCL final? Unfortunately having the FA Cup final a few days before the UCL final could force one or both of the managers to keep key players out of the Wembley showdown. Furthermore England doesn’t play a qualifier on 2-June, then visit Estonia on 6-June.
Bobby – If Tottenham had not turned their domestic season around then I think Jol would have already been gone. I would be surprised if he was fired now. Spurs have been very entertaining over the last few months and I think the fans – although disappointed with the overall results – would be disappointed if he was let go. There again the North London derby does go this Saturday.
There is no way that the FA Cup final will be moved nor do I see either manager resting players.
Verbal97 - Where do you think Michael Owen will be getting treatment next year - Newcastle or is there a chance he'll go to Old Toilet. If he goes to Man U, he might as well burn down Anfield.
Bobby – If Manchester United were going to sign Michael Owen surely they would have done that before he moved to St James’ Park rather than waiting till after he has missed almost a full year due to injury. That rumour is one of the most bizarre of the season.
Gunner44 - My question to you is do you think Giggs deserves to be nominated or should Vidic be the one nominated or even Essien?
Also who would you pick if you starting a team next season C. Ronaldo or Kaka if given the choice at the end of this season? Explain why?
Bobby – It is always more difficult for a defender to get the nod over an attacking player. Giggs – and Scholes – have both turned back the years this season so I find it difficult to say that they do not deserve the nominations. Essien has been terrific this season and I would agree that he is very unlucky not to be considered. I would say the same of Ricardo Carvalho. My choice would Cristiano Ronaldo over Kaka as I think he is a bit more versatile and a bit more willing to impose himself on a game. However, if I was a manager I would not be complaining if Kaka arrived at my door one day asking for a game.
Bobby – We talked about this on the Fox Soccer Report during the last Euro qualifying week of games. We mentioned that Scotland was in a position to become the “World Champions” if they beat Georgia but in turn Italy had the opportunity to hold both crown simultaneously if they then beat Scotland. And that is how it turned out.
djnima19 - Last week I heard Steve Cohen and Nick Geber (your fellow pundits at FSC) call for Italian clubs as well as the national team to be banned from all UEFA matches for a couple of years due to the violence from ultras, lax match fixing, and corruption. He noted that Juve are well back on their way to Serie a, and that one of the execs at Juve who resigned now sits on the Italian FA. Do you believe something that harsh is justified and if enforced, would it improve Serie A in the long run? He mentioned the England ban and how it improved the league.
Bobby – Last things first. After the Heysel disaster in 1985 the FA – under pressure from the UK government – withdrew English teams from European competition. UEFA banned English clubs – not the national team – from European competition after the FA withdrawal. Linking the ban on English clubs to how the league improved is not something that history supports. It is widely acknowledged that the turning point in the English game was the Taylor Report into the Hillsborough Disaster which had nothing to do with hooliganism. The Taylor Report recommended the upgrading of stadia including all-seater facilities for the top leagues in England and Scotland and that recommendation was pivotal in turning the game around in England. The Premier League, Sky TV etc are other critical elements but the Taylor Report was the first important step.
In fact the Taylor Report played a critical role in killing off a Thatcher government proposal that would have required all fans attending games in England to carry identity cards. This was the governments answer to combating hooliganism.
Suggesting that Italian football would be cleaned up if the national team and clubs were banned from European competition because it helped clean up the English game is faulty logic at best.
Finally if you cast your mind back to Euro 2000 which country was it that would have likely got tossed from the competition because of hooliganism but, as it was, they failed to qualify from the group stage – England was it not.
Henry 14 - What do you make of the claim that the Prem is becoming an old firm with United and Chelsea dominating an Liverpool to a certain extent, but there is a feeling that Arsenal are surely the club that could easily lose their top 4 status which to some extent l painfully agree with.
Bobby – The game has always had era’s of dominating teams and this one is no different. Check out how many league titles Liverpool won in the 70’s and 80’s.
MasMaz - Would like you to drop your objectivity, which you never do, and comment on Roy Keane. I believe you are a closet Man U supporter. What is your opinion of him? As a player and as a man. -And do you think Henry will be back next year?
Bobby – MasMaz join the line up behind the others who think I am a Liverpool, Everton, Arsenal, Spurs, and Celtic fan! Keane was a fantastic player – one of the best I have ever seen – and he looks as if he could become a fascinating manager – as someone said he seems to have reinvented himself. However, I read his book and I thought it full of self-justification. Yes – Henry will be back next season even if he has to play full back.
Verbal97 - Beasley has just scored against Arsenal, which makes it 4 goals in 18 apps, not bad for a winger on Man City. He was easily the player of the match, though it was a dire match, against Liverpool. Why wouldn't Pearce, who made some cryptic comments yesterday, not want to make his loan deal permanent? He's got more goals than in 10 starts/18 apps than Corradi (a striker) does in 23 starts/28 apps, even on goals with Vassell (another striker) who has started 27 times/31 apps, and just 2 fewer than leading striker Samaras, who's started 19 times/38 apps.
Bobby – We don’t know what sort of money PSV is looking at plus we don’t really know how Beasley has applied himself since moving to City. Beasley has the pace and ability but something went wrong after a great start in Holland. However, I would hope that he does stick around and City signs him permanently.
I will be working on the match tracker but will return with half time thoughts.
By the way Milan Baros has passed a fitness test as in the Czech line up. Italy has Luca Toni on the bench and Camoranesi is in. Looks like Totti and Gilardino up top.
The US team was more balanced than against the Czech Republic – particularly when they had 11 men on the park. Dempsey looked comfortable on the right and Donovan and Convey settled quickly.
It was a typical Italian start. Absorb pressure, bend but do not break and then take the first chance on offer. I thought the American defense was too high on the free kick and gave Gilardino far too much room to move into.
The momentum switched for a third time with the Zaccardo own goal. A poor piece of work from the Italian defender. Then seconds later De Rossi got a straight red card for something that you would be arrested for if you did it in public. Absolutely deserved.
My thoughts as we approached half time was that Mastroeni was going to be a key player in the 2nd half to make sure that the Italians didn’t catch the US on the break.
The red card he got was the worst decision of the day by far. Yellow yes – red, no way. A slide tackle no lunge, not over the ball – a very poor decision.
The third red card of the day saw Pope sent off. It should have been a yellow card, which meant he was going to go anyway. It certainly did not warrant a straight red.
Arena did a good job of shuffling his players and Conrad plugged a big hole at centre back. At the time, I thought it a bit odd going with a back four when you only had another four outfield players but it worked out.
Beasley’s disallowed goal I would have to say the referee got right. It looked from the TV angle as if McBride was blocking Buffon’s view.
The US players ran themselves into the ground and they achieved a glorious result.
Man of the Match – It could have been one on five or six players but I am going for Carlos Bocanegra. He won tackles; he got up and down the wing and had a thoroughly good game.
Added thought - I have tried to avoid mentioning the announcers but…….there was 20 minutes left with tension rising by the second and we heard about Lippi’s son and the Italian scandal. If you cannot convey something about the game at that stage in a game can you please just be quite? It was such an absolutely pointless piece of information.
A game strikingly similar to Argentina and Ivory Coast. Ghana caused the Italian defense problems when they ran at them. Essien was immense. But the Ghanaians made two mistakes and they paid heavily for them.
The defense went to sleep when the corner was played short to Pirlo and from there Gilardino deflected Pirlo's shot into the net. The second goal was a disaster for Sammy Kuffour. He made a dreadful pass back that came up short.
Ghana pushed to the end but for no reward.
Man of the match - Michael Essien. Essien showed what he can do when he is given some freedom.
