H8-2 B Arsenal, get it?

Okay can someone please tell me whats going on in the EPL? That question was retorical because secretly - well not that secretly - I'm going to try and tell you whats going on. 8-2 thats whats going on... 
If Wenger had just listened to me when I said he needed more defenders, none of this would have happened. The departure of Nasri and Fabregas has taken quite the toll on the Gunners and this is extremely apparent. To top it all off neither Gervinho nor Wilshere were able to play today. Then we have Manchester United: Welbeck, Young(2), Rooney(3), Nani, Ji-Sung Park. No I didn't just list half the team, those were just the goal scorers of the day. Are you kidding me? What has Ferguson created!?  Thank you Walcott and Van Persie for your efforts but I'm afraid it wasn't enough. I'm afraid to see whats going to happen to Chelsea at Old Trafford on September 18th. Wenger better get his team together before their Champions League showdown. Yikes. Speaking about Manchester; Mancity completely and utterly dominated Tottenham. Seems as though Tottenham is having some troubles this season. However, this is the EPL - anything could happen. That being said, Serie A is on strike and the season start has been postponed. Dear Italian Officials, JUST GIVE THE PLAYERS WHAT THEY WANT! I will brush up on that some more later. 

More on the EPL, La Liga, Serie A and UCL standings coming soon. 

Adios readers.

& so it begins

Hello SBS followers, fans, and readers. It is I, your representative for all things sports. How much did you miss me though? I know I've been M.I.A for awhile - some of you may have found me writing on different websites in my time of absence and some of you may have just been checking back every hour on the hour for a new post ;) - but I'm back now and ready to deliver.

Not only is it the return of Sports By Sahar but it has also been the return of the EPL. Tottenham at Manchester? Old Trafford was packed as the Red Devils met with Tottenham this afternoon. This game, with its unexpected turn of events was not only brilliantly played by both teams but was a reminder of what other teams are up against in this years Champions League. 60 minutes had to go by until something interesting happened but Ferguson and the boys are back and they're in it for the win - although it was not an easy defeat. Tottenham's Bradley Howard Friedel of USA gave a stellar performance as he stopped everything in the first half and half way into the second. He may be an underestimated goaltender now, but after watching him this game I know it won't be long until he's really noticed. I'd say the star of this match was Welbeck; his passing, assists, and one goal? Absolutely beautiful.  Tottenham's defence and goaltending was perfect in the first half as they made it difficult for United to shine. It was as if Welbeck broke that awkward silence with his first goal that did nothing but motivate the devils to score again at 76. A clean tricky pass by Welbeck set Anderson up for the perfect header. BAM 2-0 Manchester United. Cleverley was subbed for Giggs - he had only been on the field for five minutes before he assisted Rooney to his second goal of the season.
