Henry Scores On Second Debut
It just had to happen didn’t it? The press were at the Emirates in their droves all waiting to get another glimpse of Thierry Henry turning out for Arsenal in a competitive game for the first time in 5 years, and you could sense they all knew what was coming.
Arsenal, superior in all areas to Leeds United were struggling to create any clear cut opportunities and not many had the faith that Marouane Chamakh would actually convert a chance should it present itself. The Moroccan striker has done little to endear himself to the Arsenal fans since joining in May 2010, scoring just 8 goals in 37 appearances. Leeds, well organised and defending in numbers kept Arsenal at bay. Van Persie, allowed a holiday to help recuperate after carrying the team for the large part of the season was needed. (more…)

Warnock Sacked As QPR Look To Hughes
Neil Warnock was sacked by QPR yesterday as Tony Fernandes seems set to turn to Mark Hughes to stabilise the club.
Under the outspoken Warnock, QPR have failed to win any of their last 8 league matches and are fast approaching the relegation battle. Fernandes may have been influenced by Martin O’Neill’s appointment at Sunderland which has seen their fortunes change considerably.
Warnock did a fantastic job in getting QPR promoted to the Premier League and up until his dismissal, had spent very little in the transfer market, perhaps Warnock deserved at least one transfer window with some money to spend.
QPR are today holding talks with former Manchester City manager and keen collector of average players Mark Hughes – a man that spent in excess of £35m on strikers Roque Santa Cruz and Jo during his time at City.
Former QPR player and manager Ray Wilkins offered this insightful piece of advice for the board “They will have to make the right decision”.
Nice one Ray!
