Arsenal vs Newcastle United EPL 2008-09: Live Score and Updates

Arsenal takes on Newcastle United in their third premier league match of the season on 30 August 2008. The match will take place at the Arsenal home ground, Emirates Stadium. Arsenal will go into the match looking for a strong come back after last week’s shocking defeat at Fulham, while Newcastle United will look to continue their good start in the season as Newcastle collected four points from first two matches of the season. Though Arsenal will have home advantage, Newcastle will be no less confident going into the match, considering the fact that Arsenal might be under pressure to play well before the home crowd.

Match: Arsenal vs Newcastle United, English Premier League 2008-2009

Date: 30 August 2008

Venue: Emirates Stadium

Kick off Time: 17:30 BST

Arsenal followed up the morale-denting 1-0 loss at Craven Cottage (Fulham home ground) last week with an excellent midweek Champions League encounter with Dutch club FC Twente whom Arsenal defeated 4-0 to confirm their Champions League group stage match spot. Now, the home fans will want Arsenal players replicate their last season’s excellent performance against Newcastle United. Here, it is noteworthy that Gunners put nine goals in Newcastle net in last season’s four meetings including two ‘3-0 victory’ in premier league.

If Arsenal seeks confidence from their last season triumphs over Newcastle ahead of the match, then Newcastle United can relish the kind of start they have got this season. In fact, this is one of the best starts Newcastle managed to achieve in the last few seasons in premier league. After holding Manchester United to a 1-1 draw away at Old Trafford on the opening week, Kevin Keegan boys pulled off a 1-0 victory over Bolton Wanderers in their recent premier league match. Thus, they have achieved four points from two matches, while Arsenal remains a point behind Newcastle.

Arsenal started with a 1-0 unconvincing victory against recently promoted West Bromwich Albion at home in the season opener, but lost the track at Fulham. However, there is some good news for Arsenal ahead of the match. I have already mentioned the scintillating 4-0 victory over FC Twente. So, the Gunners are now full of confident to welcome Newcastle United.

Their confidence might have been doubled as their star midfielder Cesc Fabregas made a satisfactory return with Twente match and Arsenal midfield looked much more organized and creative in the match than it looked at Fulham. What is more important is that, Arsene Wenger does not need to worry for any new injury ahead of the Newcastle match. More good news to follow in the way as three key players: Club captain William Gallas, striker Theo Walcott and midfielder Samir Nasri- have recovered minor knocks they received in the win against Twente. Walcott and Galls recovered the knee problems, while Nasri got over a stomach bug that forced him out at the half time during the Twente match. Manager Arsene Wenger has confirmed that all the three players will be available for the home match against Newcastle United.

Guardian reported:

The trio had picked up minor injuries from the 4-0 win over FC Twente in midweek but the Gunners boss revealed that they are ready to play.

“There were doubts over Gallas, Walcott and Nasri but they are OK,” Wenger told the Arsenal website. “They are all available.

“It will be the same 18 as against Twente but I will rotate a little bit.”

However, Abou Diaby (thigh), Amaury Bischoff (groin), Tomas Rosicky (hamstring) and Eduardo da Silva will remain sidelined with injury. New signing Mikael Silvestre is less likely to get his debut match against Newcastle United as he is yet to recover fully from injury.

Newcastle United coach Kevin Keegan has a number of injury woes ahead of the match. Injury affected their attacking line up badly. Except Michael Owen, there is hardly any fit striker in Newcastle squad at this moment. Striker Obafemi Martins picked up an injury during their recent Carling Cup victory over Coventry and was replaced by Owen during the match. There are some other names in the injury list.

Sportbox reported:

However, Kevin Keegan is likely to need a role call on Saturday morning to see who is available to play as he has a host of injury problems to contend with.

Strikers Obafemi Martins, Mark Viduka, Shola Ameobi and Andy Carroll all missed the midweek Carling Cup win against Coventry City alongside midfielder Joey Barton and defender Claudio Cacapa.

Winger Damien Duff picked up a knock against Bolton and is a major doubt, while Alan Smith is still not fully-fit.

Still, there is good news for the Magpie fans as the club captain Michael Owen has been in excellent form recently. In fact, the English striker scored in every match since his return from injury. Owen will play as the lone striker against Arsenal. I think, Owen will be the player Arsenal must be careful about because the striker has the ability to break any defense in his day.

For Arsenal, the focus will be on Cesc Fabregas. I think, Emmanuel Adebayor will start in the match over Nicklas Bendtner. However, Cesc Fabregas will be the player Newcastle United needs to watch out for in the match. With his creativity and talent, the Spanish midfielder has the ability to turn the match in their favor.

If you have some knowledge about Ford’s Duratorq engine, you must know that it is an engine developed jointly by Ford and Peugeot. Aside from Ford, Duratorq engine is also used by some other car makers like Citroen and Toyota. This diesel engine was first introduced in Ford Mondeo cars.

Ford Ikon cars are currently produced and marketed in India; and so far, it has been very successful product line up for Ford India. The engine carries less weight than its predecessor and is fuel efficient. Duratorq engine also features some other benefits too.

Economictimes reported:

The biggest thing about the Duratorq oil burner is not about its 68PS of power (at 4000rpm) or 160Nm of torque (made at a lowly 2000rpm) but the fact that this engine weighs just a tad lesser than the earlier diesel engine employed in the Ikon. This makes for a better handling front end and more importantly, thanks to the new subframe mounting for the engine-transmission assembly, NVH has been further reduced, making for a fine driving proposition.

Drivers usually find it very easy to handle the car when it sports Duratorq engine and there will be no change in its latest version of Ikon. Ford is the fourth largest car maker in the world and the company is now looking to make its position stronger in the alluring Indian market too. Now, let us see if Ford India can increase its share in the Indian market with this latest car from Ford Ikon line up.

Actually Amitji called me for this role: Shefali Shah talks about her experience of The Last Lear

Posted: 21 Jun 2010 05:23 AM PDT

She never played the female lead in any movie, never danced in skimpy outfits, but that could not stop actress Shefali Shah showcasing her acting prowess. No matter how small or insignificant the role is, she always played it with grace. She is one of those rare breed of actresses who won the hearts of the crowd and critics for their talented performance on the screen.

In her movie career, Shefali Shah mostly appeared in parallel cinemas. Her latest movie, Last Lear is also a parallel cinema, directed by famous movie maker, Rituparno Ghosh. In an interview, the actress talks about her experience of working in The Last Lear.

In The Last Lear, Shefali Shah plays the character of Vandana, who lives with Harish Mishra (Amitabh Bachchan). They are not married but they love and respect each other very much. According to Shefali, Vandana is a very impulsive person. She always follows her heart. Despite the huge age difference between Vandana and Harish, Vandana lives with her without thinking about what the society would say.

This is not the first time Shefali Shah is sharing screen with Amitabh Bachchan. In 2005, she did another movie Waqt: The Race Against Time. In that movie, Shefali played the role of Amitabh Bachchan’s wife. Shefali Shah thinks very highly of Amitabh Bachchan as an actor. In The Last Lear, they did not share too many scenes together but they had a great on screen chemistry which had been made possible for Amitabh Bachchan’s ability to bond with his co-stars. Shefali Shah said that viewers would be puzzled with their relationship.

Interestingly, it was Amitabh Bachchan who brought Shefali Shah into this movie. She said:

Actually Amitji called me for this role. He said, “Rituda is making this film and I want you to do this role.” Post that Rituda also called me and he narrated the script. When I read the script, I thought Vandana’s role was the finest written roles in the film and said yes immediately.

Another interesting fact about Shefali Shah is that most her movies are in English language such as, 15 Park Avenue, Monsoon Wedding, Gandhi My Father and The Last Lear. Shefali Shah has no problems with English language. Since The Last Lear is about an actor, who plays Shakespearean drama, the language had to be in English to catch the essence of Shakespearean element.
