In good sports news today, Arsenal topped Manchester United 2-1 in a back and forth game. Arsenal was down most of the second half until Van Persie converted Rosicky's cross in the 83rd minute to tie it up. Prior to that, Rooney broke his long goalless streak (slightly shorter than Donovan's) with a can't miss diving header off of a great run from Evra. The pace of this game never slowed as stoppage time entered 4 minutes and Henry put the icing on the cake for Arsenal about 93 minutes into it. Amazing finish for Arsenal.- Can the British announcer on that FSC broadcast not pronounce Rosicky's name right? Or does this guy know something I don't?
- Lehmann had an awesome game.
- Not a fan of the blue Man U kits.
Update: Van Persie may have pulled a Grammatica if you believe what Arsène Wenger has to say: "We have a big worry with Robin van Persie on his ankle. He has an x-ray now and if we have any news I will inform you. It's not the same at all it's a completely different injury [sustained] when he celebrated the goal."

I can't believe you picked up on that too. His freakin' name is ROSICKY, not ROSINSKI. How f'ing hard is that! I cringe every time I hear it. I mean, can't the producer give the guy a little heads up in the earpiece? It really makes the guy look like a complete ass...but he is English, so he already has that working against him.
Regarding the game, Henry is invisible for 92 minutes, then scores the winning goal...true sign of a world class player...stays mentally in the game, and when he gets his chance...buries it.
Arena was doing that with Jaqua during the Denmark game. Someone must have corrected him because he shifted to the correct pronunciation early in the game.
Henry is definitely world class. Sometimes I feel that he appeals to the referee a little too early in rough spots in the game. I'm not saying he needs to toughen up...just sayin...a little less complaining.
True, but he is "old" and probably just a bit jaded by getting the crap hacked out of him in the EPL for the last decade. One of those old veterans...you know the type, right?
Easy there.
