EPL: Arsenal 2 – 0 Bolton

As expected Arsenal played well, although I still feel we need Robin Van Persie to get well very soon, because in the next fixtures we need him badly.

Here are the 2 goals scored by Toure and Rosicky.

Spanish League: Real Madrid Vs. Espanyol (Quick Preview)

 Real Madrid are really in a bad situation, Arjen Robben and Heinze returned from their international matches with very serious injuries. Robben might be able to come back in december but Hienze is out for 3 months. Adding to that Guti might also be out for sometime after injuring his claf muscle in training.

So the match wont be easy, but metzelder is expected to make his comeback in this match but if he wasnt cleared fit, most probably sergio ramos will return to play center beside cannavaro who also was injured but he is cleared to play today.

So i am worried especially that we are playing a a capable team, espanyol now is fifth in the table and they have been winning lately.

This is the  expected  formation:

Casillas, Torres/Salgado, Sergio Ramos, Cannavaro, Marcelo – Diarra – Higuaín, Sneijder, Drenthe/Robinho – Raúl (c), van Nistelrooy.

I predict a Draw of 1-1.

Italian League: Inter Milan Vs. Reggina (Quick Preview)

 Inter Milan will be playing their 8th match this season against reggina in reggina’s stadium, although top of the table and they did show that they are worthy of being the number one but still this isnt gonna be that easy. Our last win against reggina goes back to 2005, so although i dont think we would lose today but i am still afraid from getting a tie. But the really good news is that Viera is now back to show his stuff but he isnt ready yet to play full 90 minutes.

Matterazi is still injured and Ibrahimovic most likely gonna be saved for the Champions League. I expect Adriano will do good today. Here is the expected formation:

Julio Cesar, Maicon, Cordoba, Chivu, Maxwell, Figo, Dacourt, Zanetti, Cesar, Crespo, Adriano.

Reggina is still looking for a win this season, so they are hungry, but i still expect a win from Inter Milan 2-0, if adriano played as i expect we should get a 4-0.

EPL: Arsenal Vs. Bolton (Quick Preview)

 Well the match will be after around an hour and fifteen minutes that 2:00PM GMT, Bolton will be the guests in the Emirates Stadium today, and this is the expected formation:

Almunia, Clichy, Toure, Gallas, Sagna, Eboue, Fabregas, Rosicky, Hleb, Eduardo, Adebayor, Flamini, Walcott, Bendtender, Denilson, Song, Diaby, Fabianski.

Although Van Persie is out for a month, some new news says it might be even more serious. Although people still say that Eduardo will be a good cover i still don’t think so.

I guess the only problem that Arsenal might face from Bolton is their goalkeeper Jussi Jaaskelainen, he has been a great goalkeeper especially in matches against arsenal. I believe this is one of the most important matches for arsenal this season, you might say Bolton is even manager-less and they are having problems and they havent been doing that great and anelka might not play because of a thigh injury but, lets see this, in the last few seasons bolton was always playing greatly in matches against arsenal especially while allardyce was their manager.

Anyway i still expect Arsenal to win at least 2-0 or maybe 3-1.

Good Luck to Arsenal.

“Arsene’s XI” doesnt include Cesc Fabregas!

Arsene Wenger is getting a new DVD released soon where he talks about his favourite arsenal players in his time. Well the shocker is that he didnt include Cesc Fabregas.

What amuses me isnt that, its the kind of reaction from some fans who are angry or at least not happy because Wenger left Cesc out of his favourite ten players. If these people only waited to see what names where in the DVD they might have understood Why?

Here are the names:
DAVID SEAMAN
LAUREN
ASHLEY COLE
MARTIN KEOWN
KOLO TOURE
FREDDIE LJUNGBERG
PATRICK VIEIRA
RAY PARLOUR
ROBERT PIRES
THIERRY HENRY
DENNIS BERGKAMP

Can you disagree now ?!?!
