Weight Loss Effort will be the Topic of This Blog

I am sorry for this decision. I know that it is not the best decision in the world. However, I feel that in 2011, this is the most important thing for me. Today, my weight is 100 Kilo Gram (220 Pounds). My height is exactly 6 Feet. So, my BMI Index is almost 30 and I am hanging on the border of obesity.

My target is very plain and simple: lose 15-20 KG in one year. On 1 January 2012, I want my weight to become 80-85 KG. Well, it is a very difficult goal to reach. I am hopeful and I am going to write about this journey as well as other things related to this effort.

Don’t worry. You will not be bored with my health condition or frustrations. You also need to be worried about product promotions which I will never do. Instead, I will try to write about real news about obesity and other things related to weight loss.

Frankly, I am not doing it for earning money because I wont spend that much time for this blog. I am just doing it for the sake of updating this blog on a regular basis and give some mental strength to myself.  

I am happy for this decision now because this way, the blog will not die. 

David Beckham will make his return to English Premier League

Former English footballer, David Beckham, has been reported to sign with an English Premier League club as early as next week.

This 35-year-old attacking midfielder is interested to make his return into top-level action.

Hearing his return to the EPL, top English clubs such as Newcastle, Sunderland, West Ham, Blackburn and Everton have expressed their desire to sign with him. No doubt, these clubs will be seen vying for the England international’s services.

Tottenham Hotspur has confirmed their interest in signing the former Manchester United player. Even, the South London club is ready to offer him the most attractive position. If Beckham makes his return to the EPL then the South London club will be his new home.

However, Beckham said that if he went back to England then he would not consider himself playing for any English side other than Red Devils. It shows his love for the club.

There is a media speculation that the possibility of the signing will take place this winter. His move to the EPL clubs will be based on a loan deal.

He is currently playing in an American football club, Los Angeles Galaxy. He wants to move LA Galaxy and back to England.

Nicklas Bendtner: I've got the patience to wait until I get the chance

Nicklas Bendtner is a talented striker but for Arsenal he is yet to make his mark. Last season, he got some goals but this season he suffered more with injury and his form has not been that impressive or consistent. Last night, Bendtner could feature in the match against Wigan and he scored a goal even. Now, Arsenal has now three strikers and now they are Bendtner, Robin van Persie and Marouane Chamakh.

Bendtner has stated that he would be patient and he would try his best to get his spot in the club. In other words, he is going to fight for his position and he has ruled out any possibility of going to another club on loan. There has been a lot of rumor that Bendtner will be sent to another club with loan. 

Real Madrid wants Cesc Fabregas Too: Will he join?

Just before the beginning of this season, we saw that the whole transfer window was almost hijacked by Barcelona about Cesc Fabregas. In the end, Cesc Fabregas did not join Barcelona and again as January transfer window is approaching, there is a now intense media rumor about the future of this Spanish midfield player.

Not only Barcelona is interested about him but now it seems that even Real Madrid wants to get Fabregas. Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho likes this player and there is some report that he wants to have him at Real.

If he joins Real Madrid then it will be very funny because first of all, Fabregas is from Barcelona and from his childhood he played for Barcelona. We know that Barcelona and Real Madrid are like bitter enemies in Spain. So, it will be really interesting to see whether Real Madrid can become successful in taking him.

Barcelona at this moment is more or less silent about him because the club is facing some financial problems. Of course, in the end, everything depends on what Arsenal and Fabregas decides. Last summer, Fabregas wanted to join Barcelona but Arsenal did not want to sell him. Now, let us see what happens. 

Arsenal: Abou Diaby again Injured and to Miss Few Weeks

If the draw against Wigan last night was not a bad news enough, then there is even more with the injury news of midfield Abou Diaby. This French midfield player suffered an injury last night against Wigan and it seems that it will be absent for a few weeks. It means that he will not be able to play in some important matches and I just hope he can come back before Arsenal faces Barcelona in UEFA Champions League football.

It seems that Abou Diaby is facing some rough time because just this Monday, he played against Chelsea. Before that he could not play for nearly nine weeks because of another injury.

Arsenal is still in hot pursuit of the title in English Premier League this season. Let us see if they can manage to do well without Abou Diaby in the upcoming weeks. 

Arsenal: Carlos Vela might Join Valencia for £6 Million

Carlos Vela is an important player for the Mexican National football team but at arsenal, he could never make a major impact.  So, there is a strong possibility that he may join any club in Spain in the upcoming January transfer window.  There is a media report that he might join Valencia for £6 Million.

There is hardly any possibility of him getting selected for the first 11 this season because the club has some much better strikers.  So, Carlos Vela has felt that it is better he leaves the club and do something in Spain.

We feel that it is not the right move for him because he is still very young and he called wait at least another one year.  Most of the players who left Arsenal in the last one decade had little success in Spain.  We just hope that history does not repeat for Carlos Vela.

He has been strongly linked with another Spanish football club Espanyol but Espanyol has denied any such possibility.  I am sure that some other clubs in Spain will become also interested about him. Valencia is now trying to make a strong squad and that is why, they may agree to the price tag of £6 Million. 

10 Questions You Should Ask before starting Professional Blogging

I think that 2006 and 2007 was like the golden years of professional blogging. Many people wanted to enter into this field in search of earning money and fame both. Situation has changed a lot in 2009 and 2010 because of the economic recession. Now, the recession has almost finished and maybe we will find a resurgence of interest in professional blogging or blogging for earning money.

Well, before you decide to enter into professional blogging I think that there are some questions you should ask yourself so that you do not regret your decision later. For the sake of an attractive title, I have limited the number of questions to ten and you can ask yourself even more if you like.

1. Why do I want to start professional blogging?

This is the first question you have to ask yourself. If you want to know why want to become a professional blogger then it will become difficult for you to be actually one. Try to keep some thinking about this question because it is very important.

2. What is my goal?

I hope that you know what are your goals? If you ask me when I started to try to become a professional blogger, my main goal was to earn money. I desperately needed some money and I was in a foreign country. There was no way for me to do any job. So, I was spending my days in the computer and I thought that the only way to find some money may be was Internet. Fortunately, at that time, blogging was flourishing and I think that I joined the industry at the right time.

3. Do I just want to earn some money?

I have just stated that I want to earn money and that is why I joined professional blogging. However, earning money was not the only goal for me. I wanted to make it a real career. I wanted to show my skill and knowledge with it. I could do it because in the last five years, my entries have been linked numerous times by many good blogs. I also could improve my writing skill and analyzing skill. I wanted to earn money even more than that I enjoyed the matter that many people enjoyed my writing.

This satisfaction has helped me a lot and that is why it kept me not becoming a writer for the search engines only. Now, most of my blogs even do not have advertisements. Only two blogs of mine contain Adsense advertisements. In the other five blogs that I look after there are no ads because I want to get mental satisfaction from them. I want that our entries are read by many people.

4. Do I enjoy writing?

I have seen many people who do not enjoy writing at all but they want to earn money by blogging. Personally, I think that it is almost impossible because the most important part of blogging is content. If your blog does not have good content then no matter how good design it has, no matter how much you are an expert on search engine optimization- it will be difficult for you to become successful. Secondly, if you do not enjoy writing then blogging can become a torture for you sooner or later. So, remember that if you do not enjoy writing then this is surely not the field for you.

5. Am I ready for the challenge?

In 2006, I noticed that many people thought that blogging was very easy. They felt that you just needed to write some sentences and then submit in some social bookmarks or make some comments in other people’s blog and put some advertisements. Then money will come on your way. Fortunately, in 2010 or now almost at the beginning of the 2011, hardly anyone has this kind of idea. In fact, the recession has taught us many important lesions and one of the most important lesions is that earning money by blogging is not that easy.

Professional blogging requires a lot of time and efforts and sometimes it is very painful. It has a lot of stress and you have to be ready for the challenges if you want to become successful here. So, you should also ask this question whether you are that kind of person who likes or can handle challenges.

6. How I can find the Time?

Time is of course an important factor for any job. If you do not have enough time or if you think that blogging doesn’t take time then it is not the right field for you. Blogging requires a lot of time at first or in the beginning. If you think that bloggers are enjoying whole day and then partying whole night then you have very wrong idea. Blogging means spending a lot of hours alone and trying even on weekends. So, before starting your efforts to earn money through blogging ask yourself how much time or how many hours can you give every week.

7. Can I survive the initial setbacks?

At first, Blogging is not only challenging but it can become heart breaking. You will notice that no matter how much you try you are not finding good result unless you are lucky. If you are lucky then there is not any other thing to bother. But 90% of people are not that lucky. What will happen is that maybe you have written some great contents but search engines are not finding you good way. Your content is better than your competitors but you are not getting enough traffic. But these things are very natural at the initial first few months or even until one year. The older your blog becomes and your archive grows than search engine finds you easier. So, are you ready for the initial setbacks?

8. Is there any limitation for me?

I have some very big limitations as a professional bloggers because of living in a third world country. First of all, electricity is a very big problem for me and this summer (April-October 2010), in my home, most of the time there were no electricity for four to eight hours a day. Second limitation that I face is the absence of high speed Internet.

The third limitation that I can talk about is that in our country, there is still no PayPal or any other reliable online payment processing system. So, when it comes to earning money from advertisement then my options are very limited. So, try to know whether you have any kind of serious limitation in the place you live. For example, if you do not have good Internet then it can become a big problem.

9. Do I want to become a part time or full time Blogger?

Many people get too much excited about earning money through blogging and they dream that they can leave their job and become a full time blogger. The reality is that unless you are living in a third world country where you do not need to earn a lot of money, becoming a full time blogger is very difficult. Especially if you live in a country like United States or UK then your living expenses are very high indeed. Earning that amount of money through blogging is extremely difficult if you live in a rich country. Always remember this matter that only few hundred or may be few thousand bloggers from USA or Europe are full time. Most of them are part time because as I have said that earning enough money to pay all your bills every month through blogging is very difficult indeed.

10. What if I fail?

Of course, we do not enter into any job with the dream of failing in it. However, failure is a part of life and it is indeed a very natural part of life. Even in blogging, although I got some success in the first three years. Then I failed a lot because of bad health. It doesn’t matter whether my health was bad or not but the reality is that I failed a lot. Now, I am trying to make a comeback in professional blogging. So, are you ready for this matter that if you fail then you can again try for it?

Finally, I do not want to discourage you. I myself took the challenge of professional blogging and entered in it. However, I wanted to show you the real picture and that is why I am writing this entry. You do not need to feel discouraged but just spare some minutes thinking about these questions. If you like this entry then surely you can post a comment below.

LG to Launch 30 Smartphones in 2011 after success of Optimus One

This is not exactly a confirmed news coming from LG but Digitimes has reported this matter here: Samsung, LG to enhance presence in global smartphone market in 2011, say Taiwan makers

LG has seen some decent amount of success in the smartphone industry with its Optimus One. Smartphone industry it expected to have tremendous growth in the next 4-5 years as most people in the world still do not own one. In the next two years, huge growth will come in rich countries like USA, Japan, UK etc. After that, the growth will go to countries like China and India.

So, LG has perhaps taken the right decision to focus on this market. Digitimes also stated that the price of these models will be in the range of $150-400. These smartphones from LG would run on both Android and Windows7 Phone platforms.

2011 will be the year of Android and most probably, Android will become the largest OS for smartphones in every corner of the world. 

Is Manchester United interested about Pepe Reina of Liverpool?

There is some media speculation that Manchester United is going to try to get Pepe Reina of Liverpool.

The financial condition of Manchester United is not that good but the owners are perhaps going to come up with some cash to get a good goalkeeper because current goalkeeper Van der Sar of Netherlands is now 40 years old. Naturally, he will most probably either retire from football after the season or most probably will not become so fit in the next season because of old age.

So, Manchester United coach Sir Alex Ferguson is desperately looking for a quality goalkeeper. If this kind of rumor is true then it may put some pressure on the Liverpool coach. However, Liverpool owners would not be interested to sale Pepe Reina because he is a very good goalkeeper.

Yes, he will be a good addition in Manchester United squad but I think that right now, Liverpool needs him much more than any other club. Liverpool is trying to improve their position in the league table and at the moment Liverpool is at the tenth position with 22 points from 17 matches. This is not a lot of points but they are trailing the league leader Manchester United by 15 points. So, there is a possibility that if Liverpool can get some good players in the January transfer window then they may do well.

For Liverpool fans, the only thing they want at this moment is to qualify for UEFA Champions League next season. For that they have to be one of the top four clubs in the league table but that looks very difficult at this moment because Manchester United, Manchester City, Arsenal and Chelsea all are much better form than Liverpool. 

Lionel Messi prays for Copa America win in 2011

If you are interested to know what Lionel Messi asked to Santa as a gift for this Christmas then the answer is that he wants to win the Copa America 2011. The 2011 edition is going to take place Lionel Messi’s country Argentina. So, the Argentine fans are eagerly waiting for it and they will perhaps forget the sadness of crushing out of World Cup 2010 from the quarterfinals.

Messi helped his country to win goal medal at Beijing Olympics 2008. However, in World Cup his performance was not bad but his teammates could not provide him the much needed support. Hopefully, in Copa America 2011, Messi will be able to inspire the players and win the championship. In 2007, Argentina could reach the final of Copa America 2007 but lost to Brazil in a very bad way. Lionel Messi must have not forgotten that bad and bitter memory and he will try to take revenge. 

Manchester United: Nani can make a comeback against Birmingham

Manchester United is going to travel to Birmingham to play a match on 28^th December 2010. If they can win this match then they will be able to extend their lead and they will earn 40 points from 18 matches. Right now, Manchester United is at the top of English Premier League with 37 points from 17 matches and the other three teams Manchester City, Arsenal and Chelsea are some behind them.

In the match against Birmingham on Tuesday, it is expected that the important player Nani may come back from injury.

Coach Sir Alex Ferguson is hopeful that Nani will be able to play in the match and he really needs a player like him because Birmingham can become difficult.

Right now, Sir Alex Ferguson has to deal with some injuries and one problem is that their Asian good player Park Ji-Sung is unavailable. Paul Scholes is also unavailable through injury. So, the Manchester United supporters are hopping that tomorrow that on 28^th December, Nani will be available and he will play well for the club. 

Professional Blogging and earning money will be the Topic for this Blog

I started this blog at the middle of 2006. At that time, I was new a blogger and I mainly used to work for a blog network. It was my personal blog and I wrote in it for like a hobby. In fact, I could never come up with a fixed topic for this blog and I wrote about many things here. For example, I wrote about sports, entertainment, top ten kind of entries, personal diet and weight loss effort, earning money through blogging, and even Google Trends.

 So, I am really out of my mind that what I should write here form now. For the last one and half year I was not well and I could not give any effort for this blog. Now, my health has become normal and I am interested to write about something everyday. However, I am at a loss about selecting a particular topic and then writing about it.

I was thinking about sports but I already have a sports blog. Then, I also have an entertainment blog. May be one of the topics that can be covered here is technology but I am writing seriously about technology in another blog. So, I really do not know what to do.

May be one of the things that I can cover regularly is international business and economy. This is something I really enjoy and right now, I do not have a blog for this matter. So, it is better I write about it from now. Well, I am sorry about that because there are many Feedburner subscribers and some followers. Still, may be this is the best option because then I will not be worried about what to write.

I do not update this blog for quite sometime because for the last one week, all the time I am worried that what I should write. I simply cannot find any topic to cover. So, this is my decision that for the time being I am going to write about international business in this blog. In fact, I have just come out of bad health and as a result I am not very hopeful that my quality will be that good but I will give it a try.

At this moment, I am not that much concerned about quality because the main focus is now only to just come back to work. If I think of writing about international business then writing almost everyday will not be that difficult because I really enjoy this topic. Yes, it will not bring that much money for me or most probably this topic will not bring any money for me but still I will enjoy writing it.

On second thought, I want to write about something that other people can get benefit. Perhaps the best thing for me to do is write about blogging because I have got a lot of experience about professional blogging. I am still undecided but I think that I can also cover that topic quite well because of my five years of experience. It is not that I have been very successful but I think that I have gained a lot of knowledge about it.

I could not become successful because of basically two reasons. First of all, I suffered bad health and at the peak of my professional blogging career, I had to leave it and could not come back until now for nearly one and half year.

Now, I am hopeful that the good time has come back and I am going to give it another shot. The second reason is tragic. I live in a country that has many limitations about internet and online earning. The biggest limitation that I face is the absence of any kind of online transaction and specially the absence of PayPal. If I just had PayPal then my income would increase a lot and I could have been much better for me. Well, I am hopeful that in the next one year or who knows in the next two years, we will get PayPal facility in this country and till that what I can do.

So, I will be writing about professional blogging and earning money through blogging in this blog from now on for the time being. Most probably, if my health supports then this is the thing that I will try my best to do. Thanks a lot for being with me and hopefully I can create some content that will become useful for all of you. 

Sir Alex Ferguson hopes Dimitar Berbatov will score 25 goals this season

Manchester United manager, Sir Alex Ferguson, wants his striker Dimitar Berbatov to set a target of 25 goals for the season and lead his club successfully to the Premier League title.

Bulgarian footballer, Dimitar Berbatov, is now in good form. He scored two goals which led Manchester United to win over Sunderland on Sunday. So far he has scored 13 goals in the league champion.

He will have to score 12 goals more to reach his target. However, it is not an easy task for any terrific striker like him.

Ferguson said their chance of winning the title would depend on the performance of Berbatov if he could get 25 goals. He also admits that his club is in good form.

Manchester United is leading the English Premier League point table with 37 points off 17 matches. They are still unbeaten this season. They are expected to be hitting form just at the right time after sealing their fifth consecutive league victory.

However, their arch rival, Manchester City, is in the second position with playing two more games than United.

Dimitar Berbatov did not play against Arsenal which United won by 1-0. But he was restored to the line-up against Sunderland.

According to Ferguson, Berbatov could be the key player for United who can lead his club to another title chance.

It is the time to see if Berbatov can play a big role for his club.

Roy Hodgson hopes to lead Liverpool into the top 4 in the English Premier League

Liverpool FC manager Roy Hodgson aims to lead his team to the top four in the English Premier League at the end of the season.

Now, English football club Liverpool is not in good position in the EPL point table. They are currently taking 9^th position with 22 points after playing 17 games.

To fulfill his ambition to finish in the top four, Roy Hodgson will have to do something miracle as top four teams in the EPL point table are doing quite well.

If you look at the point tablet then you can see that top four teams are separated by just three points. Chelsea is in 4^th position with taking 31 points.

Though he was behind the Reds revival from the poor start to the season, he must not be considered over ambitious.

Thanks to the manager Hodgson, Liverpool could not only fight back from relegation while suffering in 18^th place but also they made their place into the top half of the season.

It is thought that the 63-year-old manager may lead his team successfully in the top 4 of the table. He has the probability to achieve the task as Liverpool’s next few fixtures are against lesser clubs.

Liverpool will travel to Blackpool FC on the Boxing Day. After that, they will face Wolverhampton Wanderers and Bolton Wanderers at Anfield. They can improve their ranking in the point table if they can get victories in these three matches.

Now, Liverpool fans should eagerly wait to see if their Roy can lead their club in the top 4 or not.

Edin Dzeko will leave Wolfsburg in January transfer window

Edin Dzeko, who has been playing as a striker for VfL Wolfsburg, has showed his interest to leave the club in the upcoming January transfer window.

Top football clubs like Manchester City will be interested to sign the striker as well as increase the strength of the club. But his £38m asking price by Wolfsburg would disappoint the club manager Mancini. Now, he will have to spend huge money if he wants to get this player in his club. However, it will not be an easy task for him as other top clubs should not miss the chance to sign the striker.

Manchester City captain, Carlos Tevez, has already showed his determination to leave the club after the end of this season. To replace this Argentine star, Man City manager should look for someone like Edin Dzeko.

The 24-year-old Edin Dzeko powerful striker has repeatedly said that he wants to play regular Champions League football. But early this week, he said that his future was in the club's hands and he believed he was likely to stay in the Bundesliga. Former England manager, Steve McClaren, has now opened the door for a potential move.

Steve McClaren is facing the uncertainty after the club’s DFB Pokal defeat to Energie Cottbus on Wednesday. Currently, they are taking 13^th position in the table.

Bad Weather brings Bad News for Notebook Sales in Europe

Christmas 2010 is just on the corner and people in the western world are extremely busy with last minute shopping. However, it seems that things are not that bright in Europe for notebooks because of bad weather.

According to report of Digitimes, the notebook vendors have already got the products are eagerly waiting for the consumers to come in large number and buy. However, bad weather has made it difficult for consumers to come in large number and the laptop vendors are worried that it would hurt their sales.

It is just another bad news for the notebook industry. The industry took some serious beatings from the emergence of tablet in 2010. Well, hopefully, 2011 will be some better. 

Denilson in Twitter: I want to stay at Arsenal

We have been hearing in the last few days that Barcelona was after this Brazilian midfielder at Arsenal. Now, Denilson in his Twitter page has written:

I want to stay at arsenal...

So, this should help to put an end to all the speculations. Well, we feel that if he really wants to leave Arsenal then he should join a club in which he would get more opportunities to play in the first eleven.

He is a young and talented player with a lot of potential but he is still to show his best at the Emirates.

He should either stay at Arsenal and try for one or two years more because he is still very young or, Denilson should go to a club that would be eager to see him play regularly at the first eleven. Going to Barcelona would not be a wise thing to do and would just destroy his career. 

Arsene Wenger: Wojciech Szczesny may be another Peter Schmeichel

Goalkeeping has been the position that has been creating problem for Arsenal for quite some time now. It seems that Coach Arsene Wenger thinks that he has at last found a good solution and a very good goalkeeper in Wojciech Szczesny. He has been playing in the last few matches as coach Wenger has put a lot of faith on this 20-year-old goalkeeper from Poland. He has even stated that Wojciech Szczesny can become a great goalkeeper just like Denmark’s Peter Schmeichel is a legendary goalkeeper and he played for Denmark in the national team but in English Premier League, he played for Manchester United and both for his country and Manchester United club, he was one of their best goalkeepers.

Wenger said, "Can I see comparisons with Schmeichel? Yes, there is something presence-wise. I was very pleased with his debut. First of all, he had personality and presence. His kicking was questionable, but I put that down to nerves. I believe he has the presence and the personality. Overall, he made (Wayne) Rooney miss a penalty, made a crucial save from Anderson and you cannot fault him on the goal."

It is too early to say whether Wojciech Szczesny would become another Peter Schmeichel because he is just 20 years old and he is yet largely untested. However, when I watched him playing in the match against Manchester United last week, I was impressed with his performance and especially he looked very solid. Manchester United is a very good place to play an away match but this Polish goalkeeper saved a penalty and hardly did any mistake. 

Arsene Wenger: Not Everything is Lost with Manuel Almunia

In the last few days, most of us thought that the time for Manuel Almunia was finishing at Arsenal. However, Coach Arsene Wenger has come out of all most nowhere to say that it might not be the end of everything for this Spanish goalkeeper at the London based club. This will surely make a lot of people surprised.

Arsene Wenger said to Sky Sports:

"We need three goalkeepers of top level. For example, on Monday night we had Wojciech make his debut in the Premiership and we had Fabianski on the bench. If something happens to one keeper you need three world-class goalkeepers.

I can't talk about the future of players who are on long-term contracts.

I am surprised that every time a player has to fight for his position that you think straight away that he has to leave, that is quite surprising to me. It is part of our job."

I strongly believe that Arsene Wenger try to find a top quality goalkeeper in January transfer window. Manuel Almunia should be allowed to leave the club and join Spain. He will have no problem to find a club there because some clubs are strongly interested about this player. 

Wayne Rooney: Manchester United Cannot be Invincible Like Arsenal

In this season, until now, Manchester United has played 16 matches in English Premier League and has not lost even one match. This has raised a lot of expectation among many supporters that club can go undefeated and match the success of Arsenal in 2003-04 season. However, Wayne Rooney thinks that it will not happen but there is a strong possibility that Manchester United will win the Championship this time.

Arsenal in that season won 26 matches and drew 12. Until now, Manchester United has played only 16 matches so far this season and they have to play another 22 matches. So, it will not be that easy and in this season, we have already seen that just all the top clubs are losing points.

For example, right now in the league table, just eight points separate the top seven clubs. And then just 6 points separate another 11 clubs. So, it is going to be an unpredictable season.

I agree with Wayne Rooney about this matter but I don’t think that Manchester United will be able to become champion that easily. It is really too early to say who will win the league table in EPL. Perhaps something will change in the January transfer window and top clubs will try to get some better players. 

Arsenal has signed Japanese Teenage Midfielder Ryo Miyaichi

This news has not perhaps delighted many arsenal supporters because they’re mainly looking to get a top class goalkeeper not another teenage sensation whose skill it is yet untested.  However, the manager Arsene Wenger thinks that it is a good acquisition and he’s hopeful that Ryo Miyaichi will start playing for the club very soon.

As I have already told that most supporters are now thinking off getting some big players in the upcoming January transfer window 2011.  We are yet to see any plan from Arsene Wenger about getting some good players who will have enough experience to help the club.

As for Ryo Miyaichi, he’s just 18 years old and about him the manager said, "I am delighted Ryo will be joining us in the New Year.He trialled with us in the summer and has raw ability which has attracted many clubs around the world. I look forward to helping him fulfil his potential here at Arsenal."

But in case, you did not know, Ryo Miyaichi is not the first Japanese player to play for Arsenal. Nearly 9 years ago, Junichi Inamoto from Japan disappointed everyone.  Hopefully, history will not repeat itself this time.

Micah Richards says Carlos Tevez will stay at Manchester City until the end of the season

Argentine football star, Carlos Tevez, has been getting much media publicity for his determination to leave the club because of his relationship with ‘certain executives’ at the club has deteriorated beyond repair. Even, he has handed in a transfer request that put the Manchester City club under immense pressure.

Perhaps, Manchester City defender, Micah Richards, could little bit change Tevez’s mind. According to Richards, Tevez will stay at the club until the end of the season at least.

Man City manager, Robert Mancini, is optimistic about Carlos Tevez’s remaining at the club. He hopes that he can persuade him to stay and lead the City into the Champions League and glory in the Europa League. Richards has also similar feeling in his mind. He thinks that they can keep Carlos until the end of the season at least.

Richards also said, "Carlos has been just the same. He's got his opinions and stuff. He's a bubbly character, always laughing and joking in training.

"I don't think it's anything to do with Man City to be honest. He's said previously that he's tired and stuff like that. He made his debut when he was 15 or 16 and I think he's missing his family back home."

Tevez is the top scorer of his club with 10 goals beside his name in the campaign. So, his absence will put the club under immense pressure.

Manchester City is now in good form. They are continuously performing well. The club was placed among the top four in Europe and that is why, they have become able to take part in the Champions League.

He didn’t take part in the match because of his suspension. However, he is supposed to make his comeback against Everton on Monday. He was rested on Thursday when City secured top spot in Europa League Group A with a 1-1 draw against Juventus in Turin.

Arsenal will be looking to defeat Barcelona

Arsenal football club could able to finish their game against Barcelona with a 1-1 draw in the last 16 of the Champions League, with the first leg at the Emirates Stadium. It was not an easy task for the host team to manage a draw against Spanish champions Barcelona. Arsenal will be looking for taking revenge over Barcelona after that convincing draw.

Arsenal lost the match by 2-1 in the 2006 final in Pars and since then they have never beaten the Spanish club in a competitive game.

Barcelona defeated Arsenal by 6-3 in total in the quarter-final stage last season. Argentine star, Lionel Messi, scored four goals in the second leg as Barca won 4-1 in Camp Nou.

However, Arsenal manager, Arsene Wenger, said that revenge was not in his mind. He wants his team to be qualified and knock their opponent out. He had predicted about the last game between these two teams that two sides would be drawn together.

Arsenal won two matches out of their 12 competitive tours to Spain, at Celta Vigo and Real Madrid, while they lost seven and finished three games with draw.

If Arsenal can defeat Barcelona in the second leg of the last 16 then they will be qualified for quarterfinal.

Tottenham Hotspur, Arsenal's north London rivals, received a draw against the Serie A leader AC Milan, with the first game at the San Siro.

English football club, Manchester United, will face Marseille of France while Chelsea will take on Danish champions FC Copenhagen, the weakest side left in the competition.

In a repeat of last season's final, European champions Inter Milan will play Bayern Munich.

Can Roberto Mancini convince Carlos Tevez to stay at Manchester City?

Millions of football fans around the world are eagerly waiting to hear that what decision Carlos Tevez is going to take. This Argentine football star has come to the centre of attraction after he made his transfer request claiming his relationship with ‘certain executives’ at the club has deteriorated beyond repair.

However, Manchester City boss, Roberto Mancini, is trying his best to convince Carlos Tevez and stay at his club. He hopes that Tevez will stay at the club and if everything goes well then Tevez will be picked for Monday’s game with Everton. But it is not sure. The big question is that if Tevez will play on Monday’s game.

Tevez was not part of the team that traveled to Italy for Thursday's Europa League that ended in a 1-1 draw with Juventus. However, Tevez has stated that he will continue to play for the club until any transfer is agreed. Despite such statement, Roberto Mancini hopes that Tevez will continue to play and score for his club.

As a five year contract with Manchester City, the 26-year-old player will have to play until 2014. He has still more than 3 years left into a five-year contract. It has been less than 17 months into a five-year contract that he has been playing for Man City, but the former Boca Juniors, Corinthians and West Ham forward asked to leave. Is it the only reason that his club has failed to make its place in the Champions League?

However, Roberto Mancini will talk with Man City captain face to face to convince him to stay at the club. No doubt, the absence of Carlos Tevez will make the club much weaker.

Windows 7 Based tablets: Can they do Well?

Within a few days, Microsoft is going to show off some Window 7 based Tablet computers at CES 2010. Tablet PC is an area that is growing very rapidly but Microsoft has fallen behind to Apple IOS and Google’s Android platform. So, it is a market that Microsoft need to find good position as soon as possible. However, according to a report of eWeek, it may not be that easy for the company.

In the eWeek report, Don Reisinger has given some arguments that why Microsoft will not become successful in attracting the Tablet market. His first point is that tablet devices do not need a full fledge operating system. He has also stated that Android and iOS are more safer than Microsoft’s Windows OS for tablet.

We also know that Apple has been doing very well in this tablet market and right now, everyone is a fan of iPad. Of course, iPad is not available to all the major carriers even in USA. So, there is opportunity for other companies to sell their products. Samsung has done well with Galaxy Tab. However, if we just put iPad aside then you have mainly two kind of products- Android run and non-Android run (Windows 7, MeeGo etc). Android based tablets are doing well at this moment and Microsoft will really need to work very hard to convince consumers about their operating system.

Do you agree with the idea that Windows 7 based tablet will not do well in the next one year or two? 

Arsenal: End of the Road for Manuel Almunia?

If you are an Arsenal fan, then you already know that goal keeping is the main problem for coach Arsene Wenger. The number one goalkeeper Manuel Almunia has been out of form for a long time and right now, he is suffering from injury. In the summer transfer window of 2010, Arsene Wenger tried his best to find another goalkeeper but simply could not do it. In the last match against Manchester United on Monday, Wenger went for a young goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny. Manuel Almunia said that he was fit but Wenger did not take him.

Now, there are some rumors that Wenger will try to sell Almunia for a deal of 1.5 million pound. At least two clubs in Spain are interested about him and most probably in the January transfer window he will leave the club.

Manuel Almunia was not a bad goalkeeper but he was never consistent. This was his main problem and he made some important saves but at the same time he made some important mistakes. For Arsenal, it has been quite some time that there with a very good goalkeeper and Arsene Wenger should try to send some money in the January transfer window to buy at least two world class goalkeepers.

This is one area he cannot be stingy and he must spend enough money. The club has earned a lot of revenue and profit in the last two or three years and this is a very good time to spend some money on the transfer window.
