The title should actually be Liverstinks vs. Arsecrud. Yes, the highly touted match up of years gone past is coming around this weekend; however, with Arsenal having a, shall we say, “A stinker this year,” and Liverpool finally finding an array of characters that might keep them in the limelight, circa the 80s, where Candy was written across there chests, literally, the game just doesn’t have the same appeal.

Liverpool, while having extraordinary success at the International Stage in the last few years, has been the whipping boys of the good Premiership teams.  I can’t comment on their style in the 80s, but Liverpool has been more like “Liverstinks” since then. Now with Kuyt, and The Android himself Peter Crouch, they are making a push for the next level. You don’t have to like Liverpool, but they still might hurt ya.

Arsenal F.C. is on the downslide since two years ago when they went undefeated and were appropriately named “The Invincibles.” That was before the regime of Jose Morinho and the Chelsea Berzerkers.

If you speak to an Arsenal fan, they might have their resent troubles chalked up to bringing in a fresher, younger team and a new stadium. Those things might be occurring right now, but it just could be up to a Supreme Commander that grew tired of winning with the new stadium in their sites.

So Wenger went with it and let his team get demolished along with Highbury. Wenger is calculating for the future, so he let Patrick Vieira and Robert Pires go and is trying to build some youngsters that can carry the name of Arsenal higher and farther, hoping they will come good in the Arsenal tradition.

Well the Emirates is now home, and the youngsters are settling in right into the team that is going to knock their block off. Rafael Benitez, does not go down without controversy, so Liverpool will either be destroyed as Arsenal Air flies over, or a Bellamy sting will have the little ones swatting at air.

In whichever case, I might not be as interested because, I think Real Madrid might be making a move por la Corona (for the Crown). They play Celta de Vigo on Sunday.

Something that does compel me to tune in to see Arsecrud is that last time they met up with Liverstinks this year, it was a 6-3 game with “The Beast” finding Arsenal Form.

Good Luck to anyone watching European games this weekend. Roma also plays Milan, with Inter vs. Parma.
