For the last two years, Major League Soccer hasn’t had an eastern conference team win the Eastern Conference Finals. Yes, last year it was the Colorado Rapids versus the San Jose Earthquakes in the eastern finals! What? C’mon! Aren’t those teams from the western conference?
Wow. What a week it’s been for Arsenal. I think it’s fair to say that business is starting to pick up at the Emirates.
Liverpool maintained their unbeaten start to the season by earning a deserved victory over Bolton, 3-1 at Anfield which sent them to the top of the Premier League for the first time in two years.
I think it’s fair to say that being an Arsenal fan over the past week alone has seen every single emotion pour out of the Emirates Stadium; Anger at the poor start to the Premier League campaign, relief after making it into the group stages of the Champions League and the familiar feeling of pure frustration with Wenger not getting his wallet out once more.
So after a slow start to the campaign, things look like they might be starting to work out for Queens Park Rangers.
The 20-year-old had a successful season for his hometown side Atletico Madrid but had only just cemented his place in their side. That is why it came as a surprise that Sir Alex Ferguson and his goalkeeping coach – Eric Steele – chose De Gea to replace the retired Edwin Van der Sar.
Former Arsenal maestro Samir Nasri has passed on his congratulations to his former team-mates after they secure their spot in the Champions League group stages.
Not surprised by the result, I thought we would loose 3-0, yet total disappointment…….
