HEY GUYS

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! SAY HELLO TO 2012 AND GOOD RIDDANCE TO 2011!!!

PUT ALL YOUR 2011 PROBLEMS BEHIND YOU, AND LETS START FRESH AGAIN.

THIS IS ALSO TO MAN UTD FANS (like Kieren), WHO HAD TO SUFFER A 3-2 LOSS TO BLACKBURN ROVERS AT OLD TRAFFORD. LETS START 2012 WITH A BANG.

SEE YA!

RVP Chasing Record

Today might be the day. Arsenal take on Wolves at the Emirates today, and Robin van Persie looks to beat Alan Shearer's 36 goals in a calender year. Remember in 1995, he scored 36 goals. Now Robin van Persie has 34, and he hopes he can take his opportunity with today's match and the New Year's Eve match against QPR. So good luck to him.

Anyway, here are yesterday's results:
Chelsea 1-1 Fulham
Man Utd 5-0 Wigan
West Brom 0-0 Man City
Liverpool 1-1 Blackburn
Sunderland 1-1 Everton
Stoke 0-0 Aston Villa
Bolton 0-2 Newcastle

New Signings

With the January transfer window looming, here are some of the reports of potential signings.

Arsenal are rumoured to be looking for a temporary loan deal for out of favour Manchester City full back Wayne Bridge, because of injuries to their other full backs. Arsene Wenger also said he will think about it thoroughly before he signs former Arsenal striker Thierry Henry on a 3 month loan deal from the New York Red Bulls.

Chelsea look to close in on Gary Cahill. Bolton have to sell their star defender this January, or risk losing him for at the end of the season as that is when his contract expires.

Finally, Real Madrid's Kaka may make a sensational move to London, be it Arsenal, Tottenham, Chelsea, Fulham or QPR, but Tottenham looks like his likely destination should he decide to leave.

Arsenal snatch a win

Arsenal beat Aston Villa 2-1 at Villa Park. Robin van Persie scored with a penalty, Marc Albrighton equalised with the BPL's 20,000th goal in it's history, but Yossi Benayoun scored the winner late on. I had a bad feeling when I saw the team sheet:

13 Wojciech Szczesny      Substitutions: Tomas Rosicky --->
39 Francis Coquelin                              Emmanuel Frimpong <---
4 Per Mertesacker                              
6 Laurent Koscielny                              Yossi Benayoun --->
5 Thomas Vermaelen                            Gervinho <---
8 Mikel Arteta
26 Emmanuel Frimpong                        Andrey Arshavin --->
16 Aaron Ramsey                                Aaron Ramsey <---
14 Theo Walcott
10 Robin van Persie
27 Gervinho                                                                                

But they got the win. Bye!

Smurf Village

Hey guys!

There's a really nice, FREE game on the Apple App Store called Smurf Village, and it's really fun to play. Just ask my friend Kieren, who also enjoyed it. I doubt you'll dislike it. Anyway, Arsenal travel to Aston Villa today, and the bad news for the Gunners is:
1) Johan Djourou will miss out through injury
2) Alex Song will miss out through suspension

So there are four players who MIGHT make a rare Premier League start for Arsenal and they are Francis Coquelin, Emmanuel Frimpong, Ignasi Miquel and Sebastien Squillaci.

Hopefully Arsenal get all three points. Bye!

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

So, you're probably thinking: "What's up with the title?" Well, it's because I feel really sleepy today. Why? I woke up at 4 AM in the morning to watch Chelsea vs Manchester City. The score?

Chelsea 2-1 Manchester City

     Meireles, Lampard (penalty)       Balotelli

Don't believe me? Yes, Manchester City's unbeaten status this season is finally over! Phew! This is a happy day for everyone (unless you're a Man City fan). Remember what Kolo Toure said a month ago?

"We are unbeaten in the league. We can be the new Invincibles."

So much for that. Obviously, he had hoped that Manchester City stay unbeaten for the whole Premier League season, a feat only managed by....

Yes, that's right. In the 2003/04 season, Arsenal won 26 (and the Premier League title), drew 12 and lost NONE.

Well, the past is past. See ya!

Arsenal 1-0 Everton

Arsenal beat Everton 1-0 at the Emirates Stadium last night. Truthfully, Everton probably deserved a draw as they defended very well. Arsenal had the best chances of the first half, but Theo Walcott, Gervinho and Aaron Ramsey couldn't find the net. Then the goal came with about 23 minutes left to play. Alex Song lobbed a lovely pass that sailed over Everton's defence. A great pass must be converted into a great finish, and who else could it be? Yup, you're right. Robin van Persie connected with the outside of his left foot to smash in the only goal of the game via the post. Great way to celebrate Arsenal's 125th anniversary. Other major results are:
Norwich 4-2 Newcastle
Man Utd 4-1 Wolves
Liverpool 1-0 QPR

Remeber, Tottenham travel to Stoke tonight, and the big match is on Monday night, Chelsea vs Man City.

Lord Of The Flies 1990

So I was studying the classic novel "Lord Of The Flies" by William Golding, which won a Nobel Prize for the category Literature. The story line was really nice and I really enjoyed it. Then, I found a video on YouTube. It was the entire movie of Lord Of The Flies made in 1990. So, I've put it up here. Enjoy.

Poll Results

So, the poll for the BPL Top Scorer has ended. RVP won, with 4 votes. Wayne Rooney got 2 to his name, and Lampard nicked 1 for himself. 


THAT IS ALL

Champions League

It was a big final group stage round in the Champions League. Arsenal lost 3-1 against Olympiacos. It was a meaningless match for Arsenal as it was already confirmed they would finish top of their group. Chelsea beat Valencia 3-0 and ran out group winners too. But the stand out result was:


FC Basel 2-1 Manchester United FC


This meant that the Red Devils were knocked out of the Champions League, along with Manchester City. Poor Manchester clubs.

I know Kieren must be feeling really sad now so I'll end this soon, but first, let me congratulate the following teams for reaching the Round of 16:

Bayern Munich
Napoli
Inter
CSKA Moskva
Benfica
FC Basel
Real Madrid
Lyon
Chelsea
Bayer Leverkusen
Arsenal
Marseille
APOEL FC
Zenit St. Petersburg
Barcelona
Milan

Wigan 0-4 Arsenal

Sorry it took so long to post this. Anyway, Arsenal humiliated Wigan 4-0 at the DW Stadium. Mikel Arteta and Thomas Vermaelen scored in the first half. Arteta's goal was breath taking, the Spaniard rifling in a shot 30 meters from the goal. Vermaelen headed in a corner two minutes later. The second half was the same, Gervinho scoring into an open goal and Robin van Persie completing the scoreline with his right foot. Other major results are:
Newcastle 0-3 Chelsea
Manchester City 5-1 Norwich
Aston Villa 0-1 Manchester United
Tottenham 3-0 Bolton
Fulham 1-0 Liverpool

I'm really happy with Liverpool's result. I think they only deserve to be in seventh place, not fifth.

That's all from me. See ya!

Name Change

So you might realize I changed the blog name from #1 Football Stop to De 99th Cheez-site. This is because 1) Not all the posts will be football related and 2) Cheez is awesome. Anyway, recently I had some pain on my left knee so I went to the hospital. Then I found out I had..... Osgood-Schlatter syndrome!!!! Wait, you don't know what that is? Neither did I. But the doctor said I can't do sports for six months!!! No football!!! Well, I can only do swimming. Here's a picture of my knee:

See that little hump below my knee? That's swelling. See ya. And please wish me a swift recovery!!
