Surely that depends if the corner flag is a dude or a chick...

what a top result and performance

 
drogba was immense as he usually is vs the arse. terry and riccy played bloody well, mikel was good in his defensive duties but for me, he needs to work on passing to the strikers, a few times he had an opportunity to release anelka or drogba but his final ball was a bit lacking
 
all good though, the double over arsenal is always nice
about 16 years ago · edited over 13 years ago
what about cech, he was brilliant
 
the save on arsh was very good, the cesc freekick save was better
 
apart from one or two moments that amounted to nothing he was also very commanding under the high ball

Most excellent result.  Can't wait to go to Old Crappord to spank the Mancs.

Yeah the flare was epic!

Was a good performance by the boys. I think Ancelotti got the tactics spot on (which is not always the case) - let Arsenal have the ball until they hit the final third when Arshavin was man-marked out of the game. Going back to the tried and trusted 4-3-3 system made a big difference from the Hull game. Thought Drogba was awesome again and Cech made a couple of superb saves.

I think it'd be a bit much to suggest it all hinges on our trip to Old Trafford but that game against the Mancs certainly has added meaning for the title now. Everton away this week will be a tricky test given their current form (Saturday aside). We're in the driving seat and it's ours to throw away...

                                        Arsenal vs Liverpol
                                       Aston Villa vs Man Utd
 
if we can get 3 points and villa can take something from their game we will be in a very good positoin

Profile pic. Should you be interested. Lakhsen, on the right, lost touch with him.
Mohammed, on the left, I'm still in touch with. He's now living in Agadez, Niger. More focused on his animals now as tourism has dried up. Is active with a co-op promoting local goods, leather work and bijouterie, into Europe.

Scolari didn't get much right in his short time at the Bridge, but getting rid of Wayne Bridge was one of the good things he did. He'll always be a cult hero because of his goal at Highbury in the CL, but he was a very average left-back in general. Zhirkov should be more the capable of filling in for Ashley until the summer.

As for Saturday, a good result and a good second-half performance. Bring on the Citeh/Stoke!

wolves this weekend. lets bring them crashing back to earth after their win over tottenham

about 16 years ago · edited over 13 years ago
We have a good record at Molineux so fingers crossed. It'll be a mish-mash of a starting line-up, what with Inter away next week.

Beating Tottenham is hardly a great feat.

Three for me, and two for them.

Never heard that one before. But the copper's probably just seen the tower block behind the ground (it has a spaceship-like extension on the top of it) and caught it at a weird angle. It wouldn't surprise me.

Was probably Abramavich circling around like a vulture checking out what he was buying. 
 
Good results for us this morning but I almost don't want to mention it in case I get labelled a bandwagon jumper
