Evra v. Suarez. What Really Happened.
I know I’m not alone in this simple, yet complex idea: racism, on any level, is not acceptable. Not a soul on the planet should face any discrimination, especially for things out of his/her control. The problems with issues such as this are the subjectivity and varying levels of perception. You may say something to [...]
TweetGunner’s Thierry Henry Adds To Legend, Arsenal Beats Sunderland, 2-1
SUNDERLAND, UK – If Thierry Henry’s goal in stoppage time at Sunderland was his last act as a Arsenal Gunner, then “King Henry” could not have done it in a more dramatic fashion. Henry, on loan from the MLS New York Red Bulls, would score a game-winning goal in stoppage time to lift Arsenal past [...]
TweetNorma Rae Meets Downton Abbey: the English Factory Football Clubs
Twitter is a slippery slope. In two week’s time I went from having an anxiety attack at the thought of the banal inanity that was surely to come my way to routinely and gleefully reading the tweets of a cat. C’est la vie. But, as it turns out, there have been some fortuitous moments along [...]
TweetVID: Thierry Henry’s game winner in final Premier League game
Theirry Henry’s return to Arsenal for the backside of this Premier League season has been welcomed with open arms by the team’s loyal following who have also experienced their share of frustrations in recent years.

TweetLuis Suarez Snubs Patrice Evra Handshake
Liverpool’s Luis Suarez continues to show why he is closer to child than adult with a temper like a 12 year old.

During the pre-match handshakes [...]
TweetWhy I’m Obsessed with the Anfield Cat
All week I’ve been trying to avoid it, but I just can’t help watching the video of the little grey-and-white cat, now known as the Anfield Cat (the cat’s name is actually Shankly, apparently), trotting around on the pitch during last Monday’s Liverpool-Spurs game—a game that, disappointingly, featured little else in terms of substance. I [...]
TweetHolding Their Own
Tactical trends tend to catch on pretty quickly. Look at the Brazilian fashion of having flying full-backs. The world saw Cafu and Roberto Carlos and said “we want them!” Then there was the trequartista –the driving, floating player caught between the front runner and the midfield. Del Piero was free to roam and thrust when [...]
TweetThierry Henry Heading Back to New York
Thierry Henry will not get an extension on his loan and will head back to the New York Red Bulls. Henry spent two months at the Emirates, scoring a goal on on his first game back with the club he became a star with. Arsenal manager Arsene Wegner considered asking for another two weeks of [...]
TweetPlenty on the Line As Manchester United Hosts Liverpool
There is more than revenge on the minds of Manchester United when they host Liverpool at Old Trafford on Saturday. While United will look to make up for a bitter 2-1 loss in the 4th round of the FA Cup (one that saw United clearly enjoy the better of the play) but need to win [...]
TweetRyan Giggs Signs Contract Extension
In what is becoming the usual news for the late winter months, legendary Manchester United midfielder Ryan Giggs signed a one-year contract extension, ensuring yet another year of what has been nothing short of a remarkable career. While most have retired, taken up coaching, or playing in the Sunday leagues at his age, Giggs, 38, [...]
