Classics from the archive: Man United vs Arsenal (Video)

As we approach another weekend of football the stand out fixture is the big one, the Ferguson/Wenger grudge match, that's right: it's Man United vs Arsenal. Some may say that in recent years this fixture has lost its edge somewhat due to Arsenal not being as competitive as they once were. To those people I say: bollocks.

The mad German (Video)

Ferguson the Silverback

In the aftermath of the hugely controversial and entertaining encounter between Chelsea and Man United this weekend there has been an onslaught of jokes/abuse/parodies of referee Mark Clattenburg's performance.

You better go now

After Tuesday night's quite remarkable Capital One Cup game between Reading and Arsenal (Marouanne Chamakh scoring twice! And one was a chip!) Sky's cameras caught a couple of Arsenal fans leaving the Madejski stadium at half time, disgusted at their team's first half display in which Arsenal conceded four goals.

The American takeover

The recent influx of Americans into the Premier League have given us an indication that our friends from across the pond are beginning to take the game they call soccer a little more seriously. Also, the United States is proving to be a popular choice with footballers who want to see out their careers and get paid lots of money (see: Beckahm and Henry).
