			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>England defender John Terry has moved to deny that there is a rift in the England squad between the players and Fabio Capello after a disappointing start to the World Cup.<br />
&#8220;We have a meeting tonight to watch the game and see where we went wrong. As a group of players we owe it to the people back home,&#8221; said Terry.</p>
<p>“If we upset the manager then so be it. If people need to get things off their chest they should do. If we feel that things need to be changed then everyone needs to voice their opinion. If that upsets him or any player then so what?&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;On behalf of the players there&#8217;s no unrest in the camp at all. We&#8217;re obviously still disappointed from the game the other night, but we have to pick ourselves up and we have to win the game on Wednesday,&#8221; said Terry.</p>
<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re all behind the manager, we shouldn&#8217;t be looking at excuses or criticising the manger. All we can do as a group of players is stick behind him. We&#8217;re here, we&#8217;re supporting and we are fully behind him. We know we&#8217;ve got his support as well and that&#8217;s the main thing.</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m not going to sit here and question the manager. All I can say is I&#8217;m here on behalf of the team and players and we&#8217;re all fully behind the manager. Since the manager has come in he&#8217;s had his ways and his philosophies that he&#8217;s brought to the side.</p>
<p>&#8220;That&#8217;s worked in the campaign and nothing should change from that. We&#8217;ve got to stay unified and stay together and get the win.&#8221;</p>
<p>Asked if he believed Joe Cole could liven up team, Terry responded: &#8220;I think so, we&#8217;ve seen that with Chelsea. I personally think he and Wayne [Rooney] are the only two in the side who can really open up things and are key to breaking down defences. If he&#8217;s called on, Joe will do a great job.&#8221;</p>
<p>England are currently 12/1 with bwin to win the World Cup with Ladbrokes and 888sport offering 10/1 and 11/1 respectively.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Yesterday’s match between Bolton Wanderers and Arsenal brought the Arsenal to number one position in the Premiere League’s standings, after the team won with a solid 4-2. Arsenal took the lead with 48 points, leaving Chelsea and Manchester United behind. Chelsea has 48 points as well, but they have to give the lead to Arsenal for better number of goals; Manchester United, on the other hand, dropped down to third position with 47 points. The Trotters, on the other hand, are still in the degradation zone with 18 points.</p>
<p>The match against Bolton Wanderers was very interesting to watch indeed. Arsenal’s crowd at the Emirates Stadium was silenced by Bolton’s goal just seven minutes into the first half. This was shocking for many people indeed, with several chained attempt before goalkeeper Manuel Almunia finally missed the ball; Gary Cahill scored the first goal of this match.</p>
<p>28 minutes into the first half, Lee Chung-Yong was tackled inside the penalty area; the ref quickly awarder Bolton a penalty kick and Matthew Taylor successfully added another point for Bolton Wanderers. With 0-2 on the score board, Arsenal retaliated by scoring a goal several minutes before the end of the first half. Tomas Rosick took the shot from 18 meters away for one of the best goals I’ve seen this weekend.</p>
<p>Fabregas continued Arsenal’s attempt to win the game by scoring another goal just several minutes into the second half. The team took their lead when Vermaelen scored another goal; 3-2 for Arsenal. Andrei Arshavin concluded the match with another goal for Arsenal.</p>
