Last Week in Las Ligas
CLASICO!
By Jake and Oliver
It was clasico weekend in Spain last week. Here are the highlights of this great match.
That’s nine minutes of awesome right there.
Atletico won; Sevilla was upset by Nastic (trippy video, too); Valencia drew with Osasuana; Nothing else really matters.
It was a cup weekend this past week, with Manchester United and Chelsea still planning on that dream final at the new Wembley, which by the way looks incredible (as should a stadium that has cost well over a billion dollars)
On top of that we had the Manchester United against the ‘Rest Of The World XI’ featuring C. Ronaldo and Rooney for Man U and Zlatan Imbrahimovic, Marco Materazzi, Steven Gerrard and Mancini from the rest of the world……and a couple of midweek Premiership games to boot
FA CUP
Chelsea 3-3 Tottenham

An incredible fight back from Chelsea to claim a replay at White Hart Lane thanks to a late Salomon Kalou strike
Middlesbrough 2-2 Manchester United

A harshly awarded Ronaldo penalty means a replay at Old Trafford will see who goes through to the next round
Blackburn 2-0 Man City
Plymouth Argyle 0-1 Watford
Charity Match
Manchester United 4-3 World XI http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XiowjlCx3pc&eurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Efootytube%2Ecom%2F
Almost like an NBA All Star game with some of the best players in the world playing in an exhibition match- worth watching for the awesome Ronaldo free kick
Premier League
Aston Villa 0-1 Arsenal
Lucky break for Arsenal as Diaby deflects a Baptista shot into the net and Arsenal hold on for the three points
Man City 0-1 Chelsea
The champs move within 6 points of the leaders Manchester United with a battling win over the flailing Manchester City
Goal of the Week
Cristiano Ronaldo’s stunning freekick in the charity game

Player of the Week

I thought not, O. Gotta say, though — and Ben, knowing your Giants could use a linebacker, I hope you’ll appreciate this — Lehmann made one of the best open-field tackles I’ve seen in a long time in the first half. Ya man looked like Brian Uhrlacher out there…

Congrats on the nice win, Ryan. I really wanted the 0-0 draw but you guys deserved the W. Arsenal’s offense sucked. And how bout that weather at the end?! Those hail stones looked violent.

Ryan Jones says:
The fact that we actually played 4-4-2 against you guys both shocked and pleased me. And yeah, that weather was insane.
