And the best goal celebration of FIFA World Cup 2010 Goes to...

FIFA has announced that it will award for the best goal celebration of the coming world cup. This news came just one day after Craig Bellamy goal celebration cost Manchester city 2 points (according to officials). I really felt sorry for Man City and Bellamy, that they went on to lose the match, even though they are arch rivals to me the Arsenal fan after that 4 - 2 thrashing, simply because they were brilliant that day, they came back 3 time to equalise and Bellamy was simply outstanding with his cool finishes, hope that Robin Van Persie saw the video and took a cue of how to finish!

So, coming to the goal celebration award, will it be the baby act of Torres or the job done of Gallas or acrobatics of Nani or archery of Guiza or boxing of Tim Cahill or rounding the ears act of Toni or any samba dance (definitely not the Adebayor's celebration) could win the award. I started to believe that players would also practice for goal celebration. But they have to remember not to take their shirt off (which results in yellow card) or celebrating in front of opposite fans (which will result in match bans) and make it short and simple (avoiding Bellamy incident).

What went wrong for Arsenal and my Comparisons | Manchester City 4 Arsenal 2

Yesterday was really a disappointing day for Arsenal and me. Arsenal were thrashed 4 - 2 by the rich boys. So what went wrong not only for Arsenal but also for my comparison.

1. The inclusion of Nigel De Jong, we was completely brilliant yesterday, he used his strength to good use to keep Fabregas quite. If he didn't start, things could have been different.

2. Left Winger of Arsenal - In absence of Arshavin, his replacement Diaby was a completely waste. He failed to test the wing backs which i considered the weakness of Manchester city. I was surprised that he played full 90 min. May be he is a central midfield player thats why he lacked the qualities of a winger, in that case Arsene Wenger could have started with Eduardo he showed in the recent past that he can start in the left side of midfield also.

3. Fragility of starting line up - On the closing 30 min Arsenal players were completely fragile that resulted in 3 goals, were as citizens were full of energy even though the international break was for both the teams.

4. Joleon Lescott - He played as good for his price tag. He blocked every ball inside his penalty area. I thought he would lack confidence after the opener at Goodsion park, but he was exactly the opposite, he was full of confident and won tackles comfortably.

5. Central forward of Arsenal - Robin Van Persie is not a ideal central forward, he lacks strength. But he is the ideal Left Winger, he can do great wonders in the left side of the pitch rather that at the center, remember he was the top assisting player of 2008 - 2009 season. So arsenal definitely need a Strong, Solid Forward, hope Wenger gets some in the January transfer window.

Eventhough its a humiliating defeat for Arsenal, there are few positives. Robin Van Persie scored his first league goal of the season, the only forward to score for Arsenal this season so far. Thomas Rosicky's first goal in his first match in 18 months. And Remember last season after Man City defeat, Arsenal went on to be unbeaten for 19 games. Hope that winning streak continuous this season also.

Manchester City Vs Arsenal | Manchester City Vs Arsenal Preview | 4 3 3 vs 4 3 3 | Arsenal 2008 vs Arsenal 2009


This week end, Arsenal play with against Arsenal 2008 .. er .. Manchester City at City of Manchester Stadium. Both the club's fan will be eager about the out come of the match, as this Manchester City's first quality test and for Gunners its a match against two alums of Arsenal, Emmanuel Adebayor and Kolo Toure. It would be interesting to see Gallas marking Adebayor and Toure marking Robin Van Persie. I call this match as4 3 3 vs 4 3 3, both the teams have applied this attacking formation this season and have been successful too, but Arsenal leads in the total goals scored list and Man City have 100% win record. So rather than predicting formations or results as usual, I gonna compare the teams so that you can come to predicting terms.

Goal Keepers - Manuel Almunia Vs Shay Given, Both are very experienced and solid goolees, no one edges out.

Central Defence - William Gallas and Thomas Vermaelen Vs Kolo Toure Vs Joleon Lescott. Gallas and Vermaelen are in their form of their lives scoring goals as well and its vise versa with Toure and Lescott, Lescott especially is totally lacks confidence after the opener against Arsenal.

Wing Backs - Gael Clichy and Bacary Sagna Vs Micah Richards and Wayne Bridge. Clichy and Sagna wins hands down, its like competition of the best vs the rest.

Midfield - Fabregas, Denilson, Song VS Barry, Ireland, SWP. This is the victory defining competition. Man to man comparison, Song Vs Barry, Barry wins. Denilson Vs SWP, both are different type of players difficult to compare. Fabregas Vs (Ireland)^2, Fab wins. But if Fab is not playing, Denilson Vs Ireland, where Ireland wins.

Forwards
- RVP, Bendtner, Arshavin Vs Adebayor, Tevez, Robinho. Adebayor Vs Bendtner, Ade wins hands down, I'm sure he gonna score against his old club. RVP Vs Robinho, even though Robinho has all the talent he dosent have mental strengths, like determination, consistency and etcs, that's why RVP wins. Arshavin Vs Tevez, there is no comparison, Arshavin wins hands down.

Even though I'm Arsenal biased, most of the football geeks will accept the above, simply for the quality Arsenal posses. Its not about win, points, silverware its all about how you play to win, thats why we follow, love, live Arsenal forever. Money cant buy quality or Wenger, hope that the Rich Arab realises sooner before he gets transfer ban.

Joomla and SEO | Does Joomla Helps SEO?



How nice it would be if all the pages of your site get indexed without any SEO effect, that what happens with a site is developed with addition of JOOMLA, the content management system. Check out this site Skandagroup.org, this site developed in PHP has Joomla in it, now go ahead and check cached snapshot of the page of google toolbar for all the pages and you can see that all the pages has been cached by google that is indexed by google.

Joomla makes made search engine optimizer's work easy, rather than waiting for the inner pages to getting indexed or making some submissions to get indexed. But there are some minuses as well, there are some concerns like we should have limited contents, loading speed of the home page, etc. But anyways it is a break through technology in SEO consiering the fact thet Joomla is a open source.
