Now that Arsenal's season is all but lost without any silverware, the only thing to look forward to for the next couple of months it the transfer rumors that are linked with Arsenal.

Recently there has been some transfer rumors linking Alexander Hleb to Inter Milan. Alexander Hleb still has 2 years left in his contract and Arsene Wenger doesn't want to sell him. Wenger says, he will report Inter Milan to Fifa about how they approached Alex Hleb.

Mathieu Flamini might leave Arsenal as his contract is up this summer and he still hasn't signed a new deal with Arsenal. He is currently linked with a move to AC Milan. I think that is a very bad move on his part. He won't be as good as he is at Arsenal as it is the style of play and the players around him that makes him what he is at Arsenal. Well he has until this Monday at the most to sign a new contract with Arsenal.


The most recent rumors in the transfer market that are linked with Arsenal is Barcelona and Francesc Fabregas. It is rediculous. Arsene Wenger will never sell Fabregas, well not in the near future.

Barcelona are planning an audacious £30m bid for Arsenal's Spanish midfielder Cesc Fabregas. The Catalan club may offer Samuel Eto'o, Deco, Eidur Gudjohnsen or former Gunner Thierry Henry in a part-exchange deal. (Daily Star)

That is a bit flattering but that is not going to happen. Fabregas is an integral part of Arsenal and Wenger won't sell the teams engine.

Another player that is linked to Arsenal but this time, coming to Arsenal is David Villa. I would like nothing more than to see David Villa at Arsenal next season but Real Madrid has reportedly made an offer to Valencia worth £24m. Tottenham has also shown interest in David Villa but the player has come out and said he won't play for the spuds. The most likely team he would join in England is Arsenal if Wenger can cough up some cash for him.

Tottenham look set to miss out on Valencia striker David Villa as Real Madrid have made a £24m bid for the Spain international.

Lets see what happens. Arsenal Wenger Plz bring David Villa to Arsenal next season, we need a striker of his capacity.

Everyone in the world knows about Sports Illustrated Swim Suit issue. It is a great sports illustrated issue. The very beautiful models are the main reason why this sports illustrated issue which is releases once in a year is popular. Usually these swim suit models wear a two piece swim suit which is much better than one piece swimsuits but some one piece swimsuits are not bad at all. Well, if you don't know what Sports Illustrated Swim Suit Issue is, here is a link to Wikipedia. It is one of the most popular and most anticipates magazine issue of all times. I am one of the millions of fans of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue. :) I have written a couple of posts on Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issues and you can find it by using the search function on this blog.


If you want to purchase a two piece swim suit, there are lots of online and offline stores and you can buy is without any problems. Swimsuitsforall.com is one of the online swimsuit sites that sell all kinds of swimsuits, be it a two piece, a one piece or even tankinis.

It was a great game, a great escape by arsenal. 2 nil down and with only 10 players I thought we had lots the game. it was quite an exciting game. theo should play more often. eboue is just not good enough. maybe 2 seasons ago, he used to run to the byline the whole game from right back position, not anymore. He doesn’t pass to sagna when he makes the effort of running from arsenal half to the byline. eboue should be sold.

gallas is not a leader, toure should have gotten the captain’s armband. He is more of a leader than gallas is from what I saw in the previous games when we dropped two points cos of clichy’s mistake.

lehmann should go too, he just causes too much problems. our squad is too small to complete in all the competitions. Arsene made a huge mistake not to buy more quality players.



I think we are out of the title race. we got four very very difficult games coming up and I don’t think the squad is big enough. I like arsene’s policy of developing young players but at the same time we need some experience in the field, a true leader who leads by example.

I hope we beat liverpool in the CL. don’t think we can win the title. mancs wont drop that many points and the chavs wont too. :(

WE NEED TO BUY SOME PLAYERS in the summer. if flamini goes, and it looks like gilberto will go, we don’t have a defensive midfielder anymore. WTF!!!!!
instead of adding to the squad we look like loosing a couple of good players.

It can be and is quite difficult to find the best web hosting company around. Well there are some basic information you will have to find out before you commit to one. First of all find out the estimate of how much space and bandwidth you will be using. I suggest you get the double specs of what your estimates shows you just to be on the safe side. Well you could just get what your estimations show if the hosting company allows upgrading on a later date after you have already signed up. Well finding the best web hosting is a difficult and daunting task. Webmasters will know what I am talking about. My first hosting experience was not so good.

I signed up for a free hosting when I was just a beginner to try it out. Free hosting are not good if you want reliable service. Even some paid ones are not good. Then for the second, I got a cheap hosting from forum. It was a waste of money as half the time, the server was down. Then I shifted to another hosting which had a very slow server. after a month I signed up for webhostingpad. Paid almost a $100 for a years subscription. They were giving insane space and bandwidth. They over sold like crazy. I got my account suspended by them because "I was using too much of their CPU power" . It hadn't been even a month. Then I found the best web hosting I have ever had on a forum. It was quite cheap and their servers are the best. Never had any downtime problems till now. I have been with them for about three months now and I am more than satisfied with it. Best web hosting I have had till date.

Since, I think from after the second world war, steroids was being used by sportsmen to boost their performance in the sports they participate in. Now steroid is used by lots of people besides sportsmen. Mostly it is used by body builders to build up their muscle mass in a very short period of time. They can Buy Steroids off the selves. Well there are two kinds of steroids, oral and the one you inject into your bloodstream. The first one is not as harmful as the second one. In the long run, both types of steroids can and will have a very negative side-effects.

Sports is now a lot more competitive than before and to succeed in it, some sportsmen take Steroids to gain some edge. The sport's governing bodies have some measures to stop this but not all steroids are detectable by tests. New steroids are being developed to defeat these kinds of testing and the governing body has to learn fast if they want to make the sports fair. Not all people are born with the gift and to gain a slightest advantage on their opponents and raise their performance levels for be it success or money, lots of sports professionals don't hesitate to take steroids. I am not saying all of them are like that, but some of them use steroids. It is widely spread and is increasing day by day. The most recent case was of Marion Jones who was a Olypics record holder and a gold medalist. She was found to have used steroids and because of that, she was stripped off her gold medal and the world record. Natural is always good, it will take a lot of effort and time but it is best when you thing of it on the long run.

Arsenal vs AC Milan was the game of the first knock-out round. We has to now move on to the quarter finals and the semi finals. Just today, the draws for these matches was shown live on TV. I have been waiting for this for the whole week. I was a bit disheartened as Arsenal drew Liverpool at home. The first team to be picked out of the bowl was Arsenal. Chelsea and Barcelona got the easiest ties of them all. Barcelona got Schalke 04 and Chelsea got Fenerbahce. Both these matches, on paper are a sure win but its football and anything can happen.

Do you enjoy UK sports betting? If so, why not take a look at this new online betting blog. You can find the latest Euro 2008 odds and betting tips, place your cheltenham bet or learn about the grand national.

If Arsenal can keep another clean sheet at home against Liverpool as they did against AC Milan, they have a good chance of going through to the semi-finals (I say this because of the away goals rules, if Arsenal can score at Anfield, they can just draw the game and win the tie).

Here are the draws that came out today:

Champions League quarter-final draw:
Arsenal v Liverpool (First leg 2 Apr/Second leg 8 Apr)
AS Roma v Man Utd (First leg 1 Apr/Second leg 9 Apr)
Schalke 04 v FC Barcelona (First leg 1 Apr/Second leg 9 Apr)
Fenerbahce v Chelsea (First leg 2 Apr/Second leg 8 Apr)

Champions League semi-final draw:
Arsenal/Liverpool v Fenerbahce/Chelsea
Schalke/Barcelona v AS Roma/Man Utd

Arsenal have a tough tasks if they want to reach the final. Even if Arsenal beat Liverpool, they will most probably face Chelsea in the semi-finals. Well, I just hope and pray that all the Arsenal players are fit and in great form from the quarter final stage to the final match as I want to see Arsenal win their first ever UEFA Champion's League trophy.

The name that was on the news was the hall of famer, Barry Bonds.

if you look at this picture when Barry Bonds join the baseball league and compare it to a picture taken of him recently, you will find a huge different in his appearance. Specially his head and his body, they have become really huge. This is one of the effects of steroid use. Can't definitely say he used steroids but he was on the news almost daily when he was accused of taking steroids. It is really easy to Buy Steroids
, be it for professional sportsmen or general people like us. There are some really nasty side effects for people who use steroids, usually the most apparent side effects is the increase in their aggressiveness and a build up of huge quantity of muscles in a really short period of time.
