Arsenal: A team full of funny sounding names. Routinely pilloried for being anti-English. Emirates. Small budget. Inexperienced and young. A bunch of no names. Beautiful and flowing soccer. The usurpers. The agents of change.
Man Utd: Wayne Rooney, Darren Fletcher. Fish n’ chips. Old Trafford. Money no objection. Savvy and street smart. Mega stars. Powerful and muscular soccer. Salt of the earth. The status quo.
MILWAUKEE — For a show that was about nothing, the hubbub around it has certainly turned into something.
A Green Bay television station decided to have some fun this week after employees discovered that Giants quarterback Eli Manning’s favorite show is “Seinfeld.” Station officials decided to pull the episode scheduled for Saturday afternoon and replace it with a different program chosen by viewers.
Manning and his New York teammates will be in town to play the Green Bay Packers in the NFC Championship Game Sunday afternoon.

2007 was a bit of a mirage beating a lot of really bad teams while losing to almost everyone with a pulse. If Will Hudgens can build on what Martin Hankins did at quarterback, the offense should be fine with Duke Calhoun and Earnest Williams a strong 1-2 receiving punch. The defense loses a few linebackers and CB LaKeitharun Ford, but there’s no excuse to not come back better.
KANGAROOS skipper Adam Simpson says he expects AFL pundits to continue to dismiss his side’s premiership aspirations in 2008.
And just like last season when the Kangaroos finished in the top four, they intend to prove their critics wrong.
“I don’t think it will be a lot different to last year.
Red Bull RB4
Red Bull unveiled the RB4 in Spain on Wednesday, the second car designed by technical chief Adrian Newey since he joined the team.
The new car features the bridge front wing which was first used by McLaren and the team adopted towards the end of last season. One element which can’t be seen outwardly is reliability, an issue which plagued the team last season.
Team boss Christian Horner hopes the continuity within the team will help cure that problem in 2008.
