The Bad Gones were also able to bend the barrel of the Gunners offense, holding the top form strikers to only 1 goal for the first time all season.

Young international superstar Benzema broke open the scoring with a strike in the 11′

Without hesitation, Arsenal were able to score from an Adebayor strike after completing over 50 consecutive passes. It was truly an art form; beautiful team play!

Jean-Alain Boumsong was red carded in just the 16′, preventing Arsenal from taking the lead on a breakaway. 10 man Lyon were doomed at the moment.

Thankfully for Lyon though, Benzema’s true talent is revealed when he plays as a lone forward. In the 45′ he buried a second goal past Almunia, putting the Gunners behind for the first time this year.

Any fan would have surely predicted Arsenal to score once more, if not twice. But this was not the case, instead the 60′ led to a Benzema hat trick, which rattled the post and fell inside the net.

10 Man Lyon spent the next half hour defending, and did it well. Although Arsenal kept a record breaking passing percentage of 88% in the clubs first loss.

After the game, the Arsenal manager commented, “it would have been better if I had started my new transfers,” and continued on, “Fuckkkk”

Karim Benzema stays on top of the Golden Boot table with 23 goals, and Arsenal are still in first place in the league.

If that wasn’t enough, Arsenal has beat the top 4 teams from last year, Milan, Lyon, Liverpool and Chelea and the top 4 teams currently: Man United, Liverpool, Lyon.

Nobody can stop the powerful attack of snipers RVP and Adebyor, and Yakubu of Everton now joins the crew of goal machines. Arsenal demolished Lyon at the Gerland 3-1, Liverpool at the Emirates, and Man United twice.

In the past four matches, Arsenal have scored 20 goals, and allowed 0 goals. Milan were the last team to play the Gunners for the first time, and went down 4-0 at the half, leaving no new hope for the league competitors.

Stat wise, the team is near perfect, and stands miles above the average competitor.

Lets get these 74 games played before March 15th

A Wayne Rooney brace and a Karim Benzema brace were the highlights of the night, as Lyon came back from a two goal deficit to salvage a point.

In the 4′, Rooney opened the scoring with a beautiful breakaway goal. It wasn’t long before Cristiano Ronaldo followed suit and scored the second. Down 2-0 at the half, Lyon had only 3 shots total.

In the 60′ minute Van Der Sar made a beautiful save to keep a Lionel Messi breakaway out of the net. But Lyon forwards Govou and Xabi Alonso kept feeding the ball to Karim Benzema, who finally netted a goal in the 72′.

The next play was a phenomenal through lob to Wayne Rooney, who immediately responded to the Lyon goal with his second of the night, putting the Red Devils up 3-1 in the 73′

Benzema hadn’t said his piece yet. He responded to the response with the third goal in 4 minutes, placing the ball into the corner at the 6′ spot.

The game at 3-2 with 15 minutes left, and the French Champions were still looking for an equaliser. Xabi Alonso answered the call with an 80′ goal that put the teams level. The transfer from Liverpool has 2 goals with Les Gones this season.

The game ended in a draw. Benzema continues to lead the scoring table with 20 goals, and Rooney now places third on that list with 8. Manchester united sit in first place now, one point above arsenal.

Some clubs have hinted that the Arsenal squad is unbeatable. Liverpool have come out with a statement, “Look, I’m sure he’s really good and all, and all the teams should pose as threats, but nobody is unbeatable.”

Liverpool have not yet played Arsenal, and are sitting one point behind the 1st place team in 4th. Although it appears as a tight league table with 4 teams divided by 1 point, Arsenal have only played 4 matches and has already defeated 2 of the 3 contenders.

Semi finals were divided up into two weeks, one for each aggregate match, and the same for quarter finals. Basically, this means playoffs would start on March 15, 2009.

Well, now it’s February 1st, and 3 teams only have 3 games played. With only 6 weeks remaining in regular season-104 more games must be played.

To break it down in a simpler form, thats 2.5 games a day. Improbable and highly unlikely.

Is the fun drained? Have we lost our motivation? Should we stop pretending and quit now? Where has the league gone?

Convicted wifebeater and douchebag David Bellamy was the first pick from West Ham, while Aston Villa Midfielder Gareth Barry was the second.

Bellamy, the underrated choice for a transfer window purchase, has already scored once in each match he has played with Liverpool.

Fernando Torres opened the scoring with a brilliant shot that rocketed past young Hugo Lloris in just the 11th minute.

Liverpool manager Dave Yeomans knew that his squad would need more goals to hold a renowned Lyon attack.

The first half ended at 1-0 to the home squad’s advantage. At the half, Sidney Govou replaced Lyon winger Ludovic Giuly in an attempt to beef up the non existent attack.

In the 60th minute Karim Benzema netted a goal after a through ball from Govou led to a breakaway.

Lyon managed to rack up another 8 shots on target over the next 20 minutes, but it was Liverpool who took the lead. The Anfield crowd roared when Bellamy struck a goal after Torres cruised in and out the weak Lyon defence and neatly placed it on Bellamy’s foot.

Just as it seemed all hope was lost, a through ball from Juan Roman Riquelme put Lionel Messi 5 yards ahead of the defenders. The 4’8″ Argentinian prodigy was only good enough to beat Reina, but not the post. Karim Benzema was there to score the equalizer wtih a swing of his right boot off the rebound.

The match would seemingly slow down and come to an end, but the last 3 minutes were the most exhilarating. Another through bal from Govou to Karim Benzema led to a break away in the 91st minute, but this time the prodigal goalscorer was slide tackled at the 19 after launching a shot that was stopped by Reina.

Phillip Lahm was shown a red card, and Juan Roman Riquelme lined up to take the free kick. The layoff man passed it over to Messi, but the Liverpool defence was to good. After two blocked attempts the ball was cleared, and the game ended in a draw.

Lyon have spent their winter allowance on Argentinian attacking midfielder Juan Roman Riquelme from the Boca Juniors.

Riquelme is known for his recent success in Europe while playing for Villareal and is commonly referred to as a free kick specialist.
