Match report: Portsmouth 1 - Arsenal 4

Things have been tough for Portsmouth lately:

• They lost to Arsenal 4-1 yesterday. According to the announcers on my television set, Portsmouth have not beaten Arsenal in any competition in over fifty years.

Below: Eduardo is about to score Arsenal's first goal. His free kick will ricochet off the leg off one of the Portsmouth defenders and into the net.

• The team are currently in last place in the Premier League.
• Portsmouth have gotten a new owner and manager this year. Despite these moves, there is a real possibility that the team will go bankrupt this winter. I am not sure what will happen if that takes place. At the very least, the club will have to sell off most or all of their best players during the January transfer window.

Match Report: Chelsea 3 - Liverpool 2 (Extra Time)

It appeared to be raining quite hard.

All the goals were scored at the same end of the field.

There were more goals in the 30+ minutes of extra time than during the 90+ minutes of regular time.

In the Doctor Who episode "Smith and Jones" - the one where the Doctor first meets Martha - there are creatures called the Judoon who are basically some sort of inter-galatic rhinoceros police officers. These creatures are clearly patterned on the likeness of Chelsea manager Avram Grant.

Liverpool's Mascherano still looks like my cat.

The game was actually quite exciting and would have been satisfying except for the fact that Liverpool lost.

Liverpool's fans (and normal people from Liverpool as well) are known as Scousers.

My favorite moment was when Michael Essien's goal was dis-allowed due to Drogba being offside and interfering with the keeper.

Chelsea better beat Man Utd.
