Arsenal crushed at Anfield, City miss Out, as Hazard fire Blues to League summit


Arsenal crushed at Anfield, City miss Out, as Hazard fire Blues to League summit

ARSENAL met a fatal end to their reign at Anfield as a ruthless LIVERPOOL side put 5 past the title hopefuls. Martin Skrtel scored twice from Steven Gerrard's assists and Luis Suarez set up both Daniel Sturridge and brace boy Raheem Sterling,but Mikel Arteta got a consolation goal from the spot just before the round up.


MANCHESTER CITY were held to a goalless draw at Carrow road by NORWICH CITY,as the visitors goal drought continued without star striker Sergio Aguero.


Golden boy Eden Hazard bagged a hat-trick as CHELSEA moved to the top of the Premier League,following a rump of NEWCASTLE UNITED at Stamford Bridge.


Emmanuel Adebayor continued his fine goal scoring form for Tim Sherwood,as TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR beat EVERTON at White Hart Lane and pip the Toffees to fifth place in the League standings.


Darren Bent headed home a late winner inside injury time to give FULHAM a well deserved point at Old Trafford,as MANCHESTER UNITED'S woes continued. Sidwell put the visitors in front with a superb effort in the first half,but a quickfire double from Van Persie and Michael Carrick had United in control after the break,for Bent to head home after De Gea's save in injury time and steal a point for the struggling Cottagers.

Gunners Fans are GREATEST critics

Gunners fans are GREATEST critics

GOAL ZONE says fans of the North London side,are the greatest critics in the game,according to a recent pool carried out in Lagos State,Nigeria. 
In our recent questionnaire carried out in the Ikeja area of the state,96.7% of the Gunners fans who participated rated French striker Olivier Giroud below average,further stating he's the worst player in the team's starting XI.
The pool revealed our greatest shock to be 78.3% of the fans suggesting that new signing MESUT OZIL was a flop at the club,following a string of below par performances,after what they referred to as an initial "ginger" at the club.

A large population of the Gunners fans interviewed were recorded to have heavily criticised Napoli striker Gonzalo Higuain,declaring their joy at his failed move the Emirates and calling him a "big time flop",

Real Madrid Fans - The GREATEST Cristiano Ronaldo Fans

REAL MADRID CF Fans are Obviously the GREATEST Cristiano Ronaldo Fans.
The Portuguese star has the greatest population of his fans as fans of the Bernabeu based club. 

Just like Barcelona,Our stats again show that slightly more than Lionel Messi FC fans, 99.0% of the Real Madrid fans under our scope are Cristiano Ronaldo favourites.
 Our pool reveal that a typical Real Madrid fan knows more about Cristiano Ronaldo in person, than the whole Real Madrid as a club.

 Our stats also surprisingly reveal that a great majority of the Real Madrid fans interviewed are strong fans of the Portuguese National team,of which the FIFA Ballon d'Or winner is Captain.

With very little knowledge of the Club's history,40.3% of the Real Madrid fans under our scope joined the Club's family because of their undying Love for CR7,and another 22.7% are Manchester United fans,who followed the Portuguese model following his move from Old Trafford,Manchester.

Our pool further revealed that Manchester United fans have the greatest population of fans,who have Real Madrid as their 2nd Favourite team,all thanks to the electrifying attacker.

FC BARCELONA Fans - The GREATEST Lionel Messi Fans

FC BARCELONA Fans are the Greatest Lionel Messi Fans

Fans of the Catalan Giants represent the highest number of the Argentine hitman's fans. With the way Fans are going about their support for the club,One may mistake FC Barcelona for FC Lionel Messi.

 In a recent pool carried out in Abuja,the Capital City of Nigeria, 98.9% of Barcelona fans have Lionel Messi as their favourite player....now we may see why. 

Our pool results revealed that over 90% of the  Barcelona fans interviewed could not make 10 accurate statements "under pressure" concerning their club squad without mentioning the name "Lionel Messi".  
According to our General pool results in other areas of the country though,ONLY Barcelona and fellow Spanish giants Real Madrid have over 90% of their fans favouriting a single player in the squad. And that is the ONLY aspect of the Barcelona's club affairs where such a high percentage of fans are in agreement.

 Our greatest shock was then revealed when our pool rounded up by telling us that about 33.8% of the  Barcelona fans within our scope joined the Club's train due to their Love for the diminutive Argentine.

 If actually FCB is FCLM, the question remains "how many fans will remain IF the Four-time Ballon d'Or winner opts out of the Camp Nou"?

The 2013/2014 English Premier League campaign "a 3-horse race"

The 2013/2014 English Premier League campaign "a 3-horse race" 
The 2013/2014 English Premier League has taken a lot of twists and turns,but Arsenal have so far survived the vicious effects of the current campaign and sit 2points clear at the League summit. We take a look at the entire 2013/14 EPL campaign,with the view "a 3-horse race".

THE 3-HORSES!!!

ARSENAL
The Gunners have enjoyed a fantastic start to the current campaign that has seen them attain 55 points from 24 games. Gunners have a fabulous midfield combination of On-form Aaron Ramsey,Jack Wilshere,new signing Mesut Ozil and Mathieu Flamini and Olivier Giroud's consistent showing in front,merged with a solid Per Mertesacker,Wojciech Szczesny at the back to thank for a very fine showing so far this season. Gunners fans will feel this is their time at last to lift the prestigious Premier League title,and GOAL ZONE feels they could be right,ONLY ON ONE CONDITION.
GOAL ZONE analysts have figured out that compared to Arsenal's showing in the first half of the season,the Gunners will be crowned Premier League Champions come May this Year,if they repeat their feat of accumulating at least maximum points against the Premier League minors,even if they loose to fellow top four rivals (Manchester brothers,Chelsea,and Liverpool). Despite the competitive and unpredictable nature of the League this season,Arsene Wenger and his boys have shown they have what it takes to lift the 2013/2014 Premier League crown #CONSISTENCY#


MANCHESTER CITY
The Citizens are on a whooping Goal scoring streak,that has seen them score over 100 goals in all competitions already. Manuel Pellegrini's men have scored 68 goals so far this season,10 goals more than second highest scoring team Chelsea. The blue side of Manchester have their prowess in attack,with a stable midfield and shaky defence,the have shown in recent games that all that matters is just to put the ball in the back of the net. The citizens fans will hail the impacts of Goal scoring Lords,Sergio Aguero,Alvaro Negredo (the beast),Edin Dzeko,Yaya Toure,the creative spark of Samir Nasri,David Silva and Jesus Navas and the solid midfield displays of Brazilian Fernandinho for their current form this season. City just like Arsenal could be crowned Champions come May next Year,and GOAL ZONE believes this can be ONLY ON ONE CONDITION. 
The Citizens only recently played the first game in over 2 years at the Etihad,where they have failed to score (0-1 defeat to CHELSEA).  If the Etihad boys can keep their high scoring record against all teams (minors and title contenders) in the competition,despite their defensive lapses and their goalkeeper inconsistency,they will be the ones celebrating as Champions on the Premier League final matchday.The sky blues will not be troubled by their record breaking run ending against Chelsea as they look set to continue from where they stooped in the next run in of games and they know that with their free flowing attack football and fitness of big names,they can scoop maximum points through the EPL minors #ATTACK#


CHELSEA
Arguably the EPL team with the most balanced squad this campaign. The Blues have re-blended under Mourinho so much this season,accumulating 53 points from 24 games, conceding just 20 goals,the least conceded by any EPL side so far this term. The Blues have found stability in the combination of a free flowing roaming midfield combination and Eden Hazard,Oscar, Ramires,new signing Nemanja Matic and power house Frank Lampard, with defence performances from Tim Cahill and Branislav Ivanovic. The Blues have enjoyed a long balance in both attack and defence this season,despite the inability of their strikers to fire on all cylinders. They have a consistent performer in goalkeeper Petr Cech to thank. Blues just like Arsenal and Man. City can be crowned Champions come May this year ONLY ON ONE CONDITION.
Chelsea have long running unbeaten run at the bridge under Jose Mourinho and are set to keep their record for the next run in of games. GOAL ZONE believes Chelsea will lift the Premier League title under Mourinho if they continue their unbeaten home run and improve slightly (win at least half) in their away form. Jose Mourinho have built the bridge into a fortress but will need to do a lot more work to improve in their away form and will hope that Failure to land an attacker in January wont come back to haunt them on the road #DEFENCE#


GOAL ZONE Predicts that the FIRST TEAM to get knocked out of the UEFA Champions League,will Win the Premier League,luckily all three horses are still in the running for Europe's elite competition,we wait and see......
