Open Letter to Arsene WENGER and the FC Arsenal Management

Monsieur Arsene WENGER,

For years you have delighted us with the manifestation and exemplification of what the beautiful game should be. While the majority of the teams throughout Europe took part in kick-and-rush, counter-attacking or even sit-back-and-wait defensive antics, you emphasized the importance of touch and go, knock about and run for your mates football. For this, us Arsenal fans will forever be thankful. A true supporter fuels its relationship with its club by offering support through the good and the bad times. As a leader of our Gunners you[and your management team] have brought many of good days, many more than bad ones. It is unfortunate however to see a lack of reaction to some of the on going issues. Today's embarrassing display is weighing heavily in all of our Gooner hearts.

FC København vs. Chelsea

Not much of a challenge for a full force Chelsea, but a depleted West London side and a heavily criticized Carlo Ancelotti desperately needed a win. Displaying poor performances in recent matches, the Blues came to Denmark with only one thing in mind, end their winless drought. Awkward and unusual way to start the game, however, keeping Drogba on the bench and pairing Anelka with Torres up front. Essien held down the midfield with a still-yet-to-prove-his-worth Ramirez, a well in form Malouda and Lampard. After being eliminated by Everton in the FA cup this weekend, it was crunch time for Ancelotti's boys.

Lyon - Real Madrid

Karim Benzema returned to Stade Gerland as Olympique Lyonnais hosted Real Madrid. Though Lyon heavily needed a win at home without giving a goal, they managed a decent result with this 1-1 tie. Adebayor kept Benzema on the bench to start the match, but was unable to capitalize and subbed off in the 64th minute. Upon his entrance OL supporters warmly welcomed their former top scorer back and thanks to some snoozing defensive antics on the part of Lyon, the french international was able to put the Madrigals up. Gomis leveled the sides in the last ten minutes, bringing us an exciting 2nd leg at the Bernabeu Santiago. Lyon will have to play a gargantuous game to knockout Mourinho and his Galacticos, especially with their super star Michel Bastos out. L'affaire reste a suivre

Old School Sunday Jam

Sunday, being the most relaxing day of the week [until you realize the week starts all over tomorrow] can only be the appropriate Old School day. In comparison with most contemporary songs, old school joints have sincere and truthful lyrics. The rhythmic and soulful music of yester-year artists prove to be a perfect combination to a work-less day. In this edition of OSSJ, Brenton Wood asks his lady of interest to Gimme Little Sign to spare his blushes, and in an inviting jester to show a little interest. This particular song was engraved in my head as it repeated through the walls of my childhood house, my father snapping his fingers to the catchy hook that made this song legendary. For this and the many other classic tracks I subconsciously know verbatim I thank my father and his eclectic music collection. Shout out to Wheazle for whom Sundays in JA just got brighter [if that's even possible]. Cheers

Kanye West - All of the Lights

Finally the video is here!

I've been waiting for this video for a while. Announced before the 'Monster' video made its brief appearance online, 'All of the Lights' is now ours. I always have been a fan of Kanye, regardless of how some of his off stage antics my have made you feel, no one can take away from the fact that he is a truly talented individual. Lets face it, we're all human, none of us are flawless, in his case, constantly being in the public eye has made his flaws and poor decision making more visible than most. Nonetheless, he [as an artist] has been amazing since the time he was a little-known Chi-town producer, way before his rocafella chain, before the Louis Vuitton bags and before the VMA incident.

As a fan, I was promoting how great Kanye was going to be back when he was known by most as "Kane" the producer. Thus explaining my enthusiasm for this particular release. This song has everything to be an instant [classic]hit, an intro filled with classical instruments and contemporary sounds. An energetic beat spiced with old school drum-set Kanye magic. A dizzying list of featurings which include stars such as Rihanna, Kid Cudi, Alicia Keys, Fergie and even Elton John [to mention a few]. Finally a video directed by the infamous Hype Williams, who through out the years has so eloquently made the words of our favorite songs come to life! Flashing lights was my favorite track off of Graduation in 2007 and now 'All of the Lights' takes the trophy for his latest master piece, it is as if the prophecy was coming true, the star seems to truly shine under the [spot]light!

Viva Futbol Vol. 67

Here is the latest edition of Viva Futbol, a series of clip that demonstrate some of the talent and moves that the beautiful game brings us. Here's to all the real fans, a nice little compilation with Fabolous feat. The Neptunes - Tit 4 tat in the background. Shout out to P-Double for sending this over. Ole!

Rick Ross - Ashes to Ashes

In anticipation for his coming mixtape, Ashes to Ashes, the self-proclaimed 'biggest boss seen thus far' brings a peak into the lifestyle most dream about. Shopping in European fashion stores, covered from head to toe in their garments, traveling from city to city with a beautiful young lady who adores you at your arm. A dream life that most people don't experience. The lay back beat almost makes us forget that when the director said cut, the dream evaporated like the cloud of smoke surrounding Ricky.

Sunny California by Nike

For those of you who have been overwhelmed by the harsh winter, here's a video that should incite you to head to californ-i-a. By combining skater Paul Rodriguez's easy going skate pro-es with Ice Cube's classic jam "Today was a Good day" Nike brings us a typical LA afternoon. It's the simple things in life that keep us smiling.

Wade to James

Things are starting to HEAT up in Miami, excuse the pun. I've been an avid supporter of Lebron and Dwayne Wade for some time now and was ecstatic when they were announced to be teammates this past summer [note the intended exclusion of Bosh]. Today I'm even happier to see that they are geling. After this cross court Hail Mary pass, that Lebron sympathetically decided to lay-in, this "Amuse gueule" is without a doubt a sign of things to come.

Home Game Champions League - Barcelona vs. Arsenal

Thus far this season, whether in la liga or in champions league, Pep Guardiola's Barcelona have remained dominant. Surpassing all expectations, Messi and co. have even been called the best team of the decade. Upon their arrival in London, skeptics were quick to proclaim this game would be a demonstration of the Catalans power. Some critics even referred to previous encounters by stating "same input as before, same output." Well Arsene and his army, the gunners, showed what they were truly made of today. Even though the game was polluted by the entrance of the Danish disaster, Bendtner, both teams did what they do best, play a collective, offensive, gunning for goal football. For your own viewing pleasure and in order to celebrate Arsenal success, please enjoy the strong moments of what will become a point of reference for gunners fans throughout the world. Ladies and gentlemen, Barcelona - Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium in London. Enjoy!
