Mexico played way better in the knockout stage if you haven't noticed, and its not their fault that Brazil played so bad, same as GB. Give a good reason of why you think Mexico doesn't deserve it?

Because their passing was atrocious?

LOL, very funny... At least they take advantage on their opportunities to make goals, and showed good football having more possession of the ball.

Wilfried Zaha's (quickly deleted) tweet hints at the club he's moving to this month:

"Looks like i'm on my way to the top of the premier league"

Make of that what you will.

[Buuz]

Maybe he's trolling the English fans and he's actually moving to the top of the Russian Premier League, lol.

Walsall won 3-1 because they're the best damn team in the English league.

Sounds like he's confirming rumours that he'll sign for Man Utd but Ian Holloway says that whatever club he signs for HAVE to loan him back to Crystal Palace for the rest of the season.

Arsenal lost today 2-0 to Man City. We were screwed when frickin' Koscielny got sent off early and the rest was history. United vs Liverpool game was more exiting but I hate the sight when RvP scores for them

[goldensteambun]

^ I like Robin Van Persie >v>;;

But anyhow I thought that match between Liverpool and MU was quite exciting. Arsenal's lost however, was such a pity >A> I hope they will make it up against Chelsea in the match next week. It was worth it staying up tonight, in conclusion.

Arsenal were screwed the moment they decide to enter the start of the season without an adequate replacement for van Persie and were screwed even further when they decided that they'll leave it until last minute (again) to make any signings...that's if they do.

I'm against Wenger's transfer policy. He takes too damn long to do anything. We need a top class striker, centre back and a left back as cover for Gibbs. Maybe a midfielder too.

And then watch how at the end of January they'll wind up with some 15 year old Ugandan/Chilean/Macedonian who may or may not potentially be good in the future only to be sold to Barcelona when they are at their peak.

LMAO. That is the life of Arsene Wenger right there! Lord knows we don't go down that road again. At least the British core of players we have now know a thing or two about loyalty unlike snakes like Nasri.

Decided I'd keep a low profile on here after the horrendous defeat to Bradford!!! Either way, I can't believe that the linesman who told the City players to go and acknowledge the fans has been relieved of duties because of what he said. What the hell?

[Armando Payne]

^I take it you're a Villa fan? Don't worry it wasn't horrendous, horrendous is costing West Brom a chance at the big time by losing 8-0 and 4-0 to their biggest challengers and this is coming from a Saddler. Hell, least you'll be playing Birmingham next season.

That's quite a strange descision? I thought it was a friendly gesture by him and I'm an Arsenal fan.

I would be surprised if we even sign a 15 year old. Wenger has made it clear he doesn't think the squad needs any new players. Just watch When Arteta and Rosicky they will be LANS. Only way we would get new players is if Arsenal get beat by Swansea and get battered by Chelsea but by then I think it would be too late to save himself from the whole fan base turning on him

It has been confirmed that Pep Guardiola will join Bayern Munich in July.

[Armando Payne]

^Well the sabbatical didn't last long.

[Ninjames]

^Well the sabbatical didn't last long.

It lasted as long as he said it would- a year. :L

[Nightmareisalive]

^Well the sabbatical didn't last long.

He's not joining them til the summer so it will be a year when his Sabbatical ends.

Funny though the English media was hyping he would be managing in the premier league next season though shows how much they know. Probably the wisest choice since he wouldn't last 3 months at Chelsea with Romans rate of sacking managers and there is no other big club with that position available

[Lightning Raider]

I'm happy Arsenal won last night, great goal by Wilshere to seal it but most importantly, we played well especially in the second half. Bring on Chelsea!
