Sponsored Video: Champions League Surprise

It is every football fans dream to one day rasie a trophy above their heads and scream with delight at a proud achievement. Indeed, the European Cup is the ultimate accolade for a club side, and is often the hardest to grasp with the likes of Arsenal, Manchester United and Manchester City already finding the competition too difficult as the famous European Cup eludes them for another year.

If only they had booked themselves into a hotel room with the very trophy which they fought so hard to win, sitting unoccupied by the hotel window with the sunlight gleaming upon it with the glory and majesty which United, Arsenal, City and all other Champions League contenders have strived for.

For a few moments, Heineken presented the feeling of awe and surprise to a number of unwitting fans who walked into a hotel room expecting nothing more than a comfortable bed and en suite. However, the European Cup also awaited them, and as they danced around with excitement or stood in astonishment, pictures were taken with broad smiles proudly displayed on their faces.

The prank was to launch Heineken’s first ever global UEFA Champions League Trophy Tour, marking the occasion with the creation of a hidden camera film to find out exactly what football fans would do if they got closer to the Trophy than they’d ever imagined.

 Thanks to Heineken’s Trophy tour, the cup will be travelling around the world for even more fans to enjoy and take pictures with – and living childhood dreams in the process. Former Manchester United goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar and Dutch legend Ruud Gullit are two of many footballing greats who will accompany the trophy on its long and exciting journey. Watch below to see how fans reacted:

Arsenal have kind of turn around their form again this season and they look set to grab the 4th position in the league and hense securing the Champions League spot which is so crucial in these days. Arsenal are playing really well in the last couple of weeks and they got some major results inlucing a 5-2 thrashing of Spurs, defeating AC Milan in the 2nd leg by 3-0 although knocked out of the Champions League but that performence have kind of rocked the confidence and they will be eager to go out there and grab another three points.



If we look at the last 5 meetings between the two clubs, we can see that there is not much between the two sides, last two games have been draw, one a high scoring 4-4 draw in february 2011 while earleir this season they played out an 0-0 draw, since Arsenal are playing at home and Newcastle United are not in the best of forms lately I can predict an Arsenal win in this one.

In the English Premier League matches to be played on Saturday night we will have Chelsea taking on Stoke City in what will be a great match as both the sides will be going into the match as underdogs. Chelsea have had a terrible spell of form in the last month or so and it will be interesting to see how they go about now without the sacked manager Andrea Villa-Boes.

Chelsea's form has been poor to say the least they are not only on the verge of going out of the Champiosn league in the hands of Napoli, but also they will have to play out of their skinn to get the top 4 finish from now towards the end of the seaso as Arsenal and Liverpool are on their heals. If we look at the past 5 meetings between the two sides it is evident that Chelsea holds the upper hand as they won 3 of their last 5 matches although last two matches between the clubs has been draw so that is a worrying sign for Chelsea who must win this game.

Queens Park Rangers on the other hand are struggling for form recently and they are just 2 point clear from the drop zone and they have played 27 matches in the league with 22 points to their name and they will have to get somthing out of this match to keep away from the bottom 3.

Arsenal Agree £10.9million Striker Signing

Arsenal have had a £10.9 million bid for Koln's German international striker, Lukas Podolski accepted according to the Mail.

The 26 year-old, whose contract with his current Bundesliga side expires in 2013 and has been actively pursuing a move away from Germany for the good of his career has apparently agreed a four year deal with Arsenal worth £100,000 per week and will join Wenger's squad at the end of the current season.

The striker, who has cored 16 goals in 20 League games this season for Koln, has been linked to a number of clubs of late, with big monetary deals supposedly in the offing for him to gobble up, but Podolski recently stated a move would not be for the money: "Money is not the most important thing for me. What is crucial is the development of my game."

Coincidentally, Arsenal would not be able to compete with clubs with backing from billionaire owners willing to spend huge amounts on players wages, which suggests Podolski has had his heart set on a move to Arsenal. This notion has indeed been supported by a current member of the Arsenal squad, who has played with Podolski in the German national team - Per Mertesacker.

The Arsenal defender explained that Podolski has been in contact and has been eager to find out about Arsenal, saying: “He has been very interested in the past few weeks and has sent me a number of text messages. I’ve told him that this is a great place to work and that Arsenal are an amazing club. Nothing has been agreed on yet, though, and Lukas hasn’t given me a ring yet."

Perhaps Mertesacker's praise of Arsenal tipped the balance in Arsenal's favour in terms of persuading Podolski to Arsenal. If reports are true and the left footed striker is on his way to the Emirates at the end of the season, it will certainly boost Robin van Persie's cause as well as adding a reliability and power to the Arsenal attack which is crucial to the sides progress.
