Gunners..!! What happened to that commitment....?

The gunners under Patrick Viera renowned as the invincibles during the year 2003-04 season finished their campaign succesfully with silverware. I've uploaded a video of a match against manchester united which was the title decider for the two teams. The skipper Patrick Viera was sent off because he suffered a ferocious tackle from the Manchester United's striker Ruud Van Nisterlooy (The refree mistook it for dive and gave him a second yellow card). The ten men captainless team defended to win the title. I've uploaded a video which also shows a fight between Chelsea and Viera's Arsenal during the same season.
Today's team is quite unpredictable and one cannot be sure of bagging those 3 points even after having a 4-0 lead against a team of the relegation zone. Remember the old days and be proud to be a gunner---->

Oh what a fight...!! Today we can see such incidents only during fierce encounters like an El-Classico  or a Milan Derby...Can anyone believe that this sort of incident  happened with the "cold blooded" and  "lethargic" gunners?

Higuita The Mad Goalkeeper

Columbian Goalkeeper Higuita was called as the mad goalkeeper EL Loco by their fans and the media. He is considered as the most unique goalkeepers of all times due to his crazy playing style. He is the person who invented the scorpion kick---->A type of a goal saving technique which is quite unnecessary. On the field Higuita was known for his eccentric playing style by taking all sorts of risks. This kind of attitude knocked out Columbia from the 1990 world cup quarter finals and let Cameroon reach the semis. The goalkeeper kept dribbling(more likely pushing ) the ball and came till the halfway line when the Cameroon striker stole it away to score the deciding goal. After this incident he got his famous  "EL LOCO"' (the mad man). Here are videos which shows his invention--->The Scorpion Kick----->>and a few moments of his madness.

 

 

The only goalkeeper to score a HatTrick

Jose Luis Chilavert of Paraguay was the only goalkeeper to score a HatTrick. He scored a total of 62 goals in his career both for his country and the club. His feat was surpassed by the Brazilian goalkeeper Rogerio Ceni but most of the goals came from Penalty kicks. He was 3 times IFFHS' best GK award winner. The Paraguayian left footer is a freekick specialist and often took penalties. He scored 8 of his international goals during the FIFA 2002 qualifiers for his country which were very crucial for the qualification. Footballing legend Diego Maradona appreciated the goalkeeper during a match between their teams when Chilavert stopped his freekick with an extraordinary save. Here is a 10 minutes' video which shows the World's Best Goalkeeper's skills and goals---->>

Real and Barca held

Valencia FC prevents Barca from scoring their 3rd and stays in the first position of the Spanish Premiera division with 10 points. Barcelona is 4th with 8 points behind Malaga and Real Betis who has 9 points each.
The Catalan club came back from behind twice in the match to register this draw. Eric Abidal's own goal ave the hosts an early lead which did not last long. Pedro converted Lionel Messi's delightful assist into a goal in the next minute. One more Eric Abidal's mistake proved costly for the catalans when they conceded Valencia's 2nd goal in the 1st half.  Both the goals were due a cross from the left. Valencia threatened to score more from that area but could not extend their lead. Barcelona dominated the second half completely. Javier Mascherano's 36 yard shot just hit the crossbar in the beginning of the second half. Messi missed a one-one chance but gave an assist to Fabregas who scored the equaliser in the 76th minute. Barcelona kept on fighting but had to get satisfied with those two goals. Messi was pushed in the box when he was about to score by the Valencia's defenders but the refree did not give the penalty. There were 3 such incidents in the match. Watch the video here--->

 Real Madrid could not score a goal against Racing Santandar and made a goalless draw.
