			ARSENAL 2 OLDHAM 0
	
Arsenal made it two wins in four days in front of a crowd of 20,700 at Highbury
last night to take the Gunners up into ninth place in the FA Premier league.

Arsenal, without Jensen and Limpar, both on international duty, played reserve 
Steve Morrow along side Sunday's man of the match, Ray Parlour. The first
half was dominated by the home team. On nine minutes, Wright shot wide when in a good scoring position. Two minutes later, Merson with more space and time then he realised
forced a good save from Oldham's keeper Hallworth.

 Arsenal's first goal came after 25 minutes. Parlour was fouled on the right edge of the penalty area. With everyone expecting  the resulting free kick to be crossed to the waiting players in the penalty area, Hillier rolled the ball to his left where Winterburn let fly with a superb shot from 30 yards to give the keeper no chance.

From the restart, Oldham mounted an attack which led to the most bizarre incident of the evening. Dixon, the Arsenal fullback, fully 40 yards from goal, made a tackle on
an Oldham player with the ball then heading towards Seamen in the Arsenal goal. Seamen, under pressure from Sharpe, gathered the ball, to be penalised by the referee who decided that Dixon's tackle constituted a back pass to the keeper. Mass protest from the Arsenal players resulted in Bold receiving a yellow card and the free kick, when eventually taken, was driven harmelessly wide.

The Gunners increased their lead at the half hour when the powerfull Cambell forced a good save from Hallworth. Unfortunately for the keeper, the ball rebounded to Ian Wright who headed into an empty net.

Arsenal then contrived to repeat their second half performance against Norwich, but unlike the Norfolk team, Oldham were unable to accept the Gunner's generosity. A combination of poor finnishing and good keeping by David Seeman kept Oldham out.
As the visitors dominated the second half, substitute Ian Olney wasted the best chance of the game and with only Seamen to beat, shot tamely at the keeper.

Three more points for Arsenal, but their performance in the second half was not that of a championship winning side. On the plus side, Parlour was again impressive and Merson showed flashes of his old self

  It seems that though Czechoslovakia will indeed split at the end
  of the year, its federal league shall survive, at least for some
  time.  Most of the league clubs, including the Slovak ones, think
  it's best to stay together in a stronger competition; also, the 
  way UEFA is treating the new euro states is probably not very 
  encouraging, especially to the Slovaks.  (Though I should note
  I believe the split will be unilateral, i.e. neither side will
  be a continuation of CSFR.)

  I assume the federal Czech&Slovak team will also stay together 
  for some time.

I think I saw an interesting development in the swedish
line-up.  It did at time seem like the swedish team started
playing 3-5-2, instead of the usual boring 4-4-2. Jan
Eriksson or Patrik Andersson ended up alone in front of
Ravelli, while Roger Ljung advanced into a midfield
position. Or perhaps I am just imagining.

Tommy Svensson did try this out a few times before the
European Championships (with Klas Ingesson(!?) as a sweeper
once), but it did not work very well then. Perhaps now the
time has come to change to 3-5-2/5-3-2. It would probably
give players like Anders Limpar and Stefan Petterson more
room/support.

Btw, how does Arsenal (with Limpar) play? And other national
teams?

The norwegians looked quite good, but didn't manage to keep
their pace. Perhaps the strange system 4-5-1 is to blame?

I'm not sure, maybe at the very beginning. But later on I've

As I understand it, Stewart was desperate to move back to his native North
West. His wife had already moved back up there, and it was causing him
considerable problems having to travel up and down the country. So,
basically, I think Spurs had little alternative, but held on until the
right offer was received.

Doesn't it also mean that the players involved with these clubs are also
ineligible to play for Scotland or any other national team?

The reason I ask is that in New Zealand the NZFA wants to scrap the national
league and set up a series of regional leagues with the top teams playing off.
Those of us with any sense can see this is not a good move for NZ football and
some of the present national league clubs are trying to set up a league of
their own - a la Scottish Super League. The biggest hurdle is of course the
NZFA - what is it with football associations, I thought they were supposed to
be there for the good of the game. Whilst these clubs are prepared to go it
alone the we've been led to believe that unless their competition is sanctioned
by the NZFA any players involved with the new league would not be eligible to
play in any FIFA competitions.

True or False?

The reason that Arsenal have been winning so many trophies in the recent
years is because they are playing some other sport (Rugby I think ?).
The other teams have been playing soccer.
 
So, it would be interesting to find out how many SOCCER trophies that
they have won, NOT trophies in total. This should not exclude the
special medals that they received for the fights they had in recent
years with Norwich and Manchester United.

Also, Bergkamp scored a third goal. He took the ball from the Real
keeper, who was caught up in the mess of the backpass-rule. The
referee for some reason saw Bergkamp make a foul when he won the
ball from the keeper. 

The Real defence and the keeper have not yet figured out the
consequences of the backpass-rule. Ajax on the other hand have
technical defenders and in Menzo a keeper who knows how to play
with his feet. And therefor where able to pass back to the keeper
and use him as the eleventh fieldplayer/ second sweeper.

joost, very contend with way Ajax played.

This week, all we have is Univision and Telemundo on Sunday, and "Road
to '94" on Thursday with Eugene "What's a penalty area?" Vasquez.  
Vasquez seems to think that "goal kick" means the keeper is kicking the
ball...because every time a keeper would punt in the Guatemala-Honduras
match he'd say "<name of keeper> gets ready for the goal kick" <sigh>

By the way, anyone out there that can tell me who scored the goals for
Ipswich Town in their 2-2 draw with Liverpool last night?
