Hello!

Why are soccer boots so bleerdy expensive?

I had no choice but to hunt for a new pair of soccer boots for the new season. Can't possibly play soccer barefooted or with other's boots.

This predicament came about cos some kuku idiot stole my very well liked nikes after i left it outside my home. And thats not all, in total that kuku idiot actually stole 3 pairs of shoes. There were like over 20 pairs outside and the idiot took 3 pairs.

Anyway, so the search for boots went on for about 2 months. And boy did i not discover that soccer boots are so much more expensive than my other shoes that I wear to work. Most boots start at the exorbitant price of $100+++

And i was adament that i wldn't get another pair of nikes anymore cos, well cos nikes aren't really soccer boots but merely fashion wear. I was so sure that i would get the new Adidas. They are soooo bleerdy cool! And all that technology involved in making that adidas and the awesome ads on their webbie.... anyway enuf said

My new & oversized soccer boots, i present to you...

Mental Strength

What really does go through the minds of football players???
Is it that important to a soccer player?

...Mental Strength


Emmanuel Adebayor admits it was a relief to end his mini goal-drought at Reading on Monday. The Arsenal striker had gone eight games without scoring before he calmly slotted home his side’s second at the Madejski Stadium. The 23-year-old was well aware of his shot-shy spell in recent weeks. “I had not scored for a while and, yes, that was on my mind,” he said. “ As a striker it is important to score. That is what you are judged on.

It was a close call...

Arsenal cld have won it, having 2 open goals but fluffed both... It was arsenal's game to lose as possession was with them arses, even though having gone down to a superb bullet of a free-kick, but still liverpool was somehow no match for arsenal.

A draw wld have been a great result for both teams though, having maintain their unbeaten streak.

Next comes Man U...

Intelligent football! (from a so-so player, yet)

A good reflection of how football is no longer a working class game but an intelligent and intentional sport from Arsenal's current top scorer.

Despite all the debate around Thierry Henry's departure from Arsenal, Emmanuel Adebayor has not let the added pressure of replacing the Frenchman affect his game and, so far this season, has proven that he could be the Gunners' new attacking sensation. (source soccernet.com)

Q. One of the main differences with last season is that Arsenal are competitive at home, impressive I should even say. What has changed?
A. The confidence. It is getting better and better each day, as last season we were struggling on the pitch due a lack of confidence. We started the championship with two or three draws and it affected us. We didn't know what to do, we were not playing intelligently. So far this season, the team is playing without pressure, just focusing on its football and with confidence. It is a good thing for the players and the coach. We are happy all together; we always try to go forward on the pitch with the desire to win.

Q. Does this make Arsenal a serious contender for the title this season?
A. It is too early to say that. The road is still very long. We just want to keep on improving and going one step further each game. We are playing very well currently and we learn a lot. Everybody has seen how mature we have been so far and now each player knows how to play for 90 minutes. Even when we are behind, we don't panic. We have to keep this dynamic. We control the ball, that makes everything easier and makes it more difficult for our opponents.

Q. Are you back in your best shape after the injury troubles you have been through over the summer?
A. I was feeling really well physically and mentally before my injury in Austria. That was really hard to accept and to live with at the start. It really affected me. I knew I would miss the first two or thee games of the season and there's nothing more important than the summer's preparation. But now I'm back and I'm playing. I can't play three games a week yet as I'm not at 100% - perhaps only 80% I'd say. It will take some time but I will get there.

Its been awhile, over 3 months it seems

Arsenal has been on fire actually!

Do they really play football from another planet? Some players are bound for hyperbole.

The last time?

The last time you will see him in an Arsenal shirt?

Henry to leave Arsenal!

So how now?
Where is Arsenal to go now?

Having been forced to sell their most priced asset, the acrimonious leaving of their most beloved vice-chairman, with the rumoured leaving of their most sucessful manager in the modern league, and the need to fill their new stadium. All cos the arsenal board doesn't want to sell their shares to a foreigner.

Let me just announce the demise of the arsenal position as one of the big-4 in the EPL. I will be glad if arsenal wins more matches than they lose in the coming season.

Maybe Lehmann wld retire together with lungberg next season too.

Business does play a part in soccer.
