Deleufeu is a real talent. Why wait so long to bring him on? Get the fuck in.

Arsenal are a bunch of ponces. They're as bad if not worse than the Rags, crying to the ref for every decision

They've always been the same. Cheating shits.

How are Everton coming along? I'm quite fond of Martinez but haven't had the time to watch Everton except when they met us.

How much of Moyes's stamp is still left on the team`? How much of their current streak would you attribute to Martinez? Any info from anyone who's watched them would at least a bit regurarly be appreciated.

"In my career so far it's the most important goal. You score the goal in the last minute to win the title. You're not sure if that's ever going to happen in your career again. I wish I could tell you how I did it but I can't. I thought for all the world that Mario was going to have a go himself but he just moved it on one more and it fell at my feet and I just thought: 'Hit the target, hit it as hard as you can and hit the target.' And it went in."

Exactly.

Typical Arsenal?

You know, play great for a few games then have an off day?

They've gone from aiming long balls at Felaini to play a possession based game of pass and move. You can definitely see Martinez having a big influence on the way they play. But to be fair to Gollum, the didn't have the man giant that is David Barry to build his team around.

Gareth Barry ain't that tall actually. Just 1,83. Considering he's also slow it's amazing how much height and space he takes up during a game.

Thanks for the info. It'll be interesting to see how their season pans out and then, if they will start leaking a lot of soft goals during the next season. It was always a habit that Martinez's Wigan had and I'm curiuos to see if that was a gaping hole in Martinez's management philosophy or something that came out of the fact that his style had flaws when combined with the quality of players he could acquire at Wigan.

All in all a reasonable weekend for us. I think we'll beat Arsenal without difficulty, and then I think it will just be a case of keeping up the pressure. In some ways I'd rather that we were just off the pace, breathing down their necks than be top by a point or two.

Clearly they are a good side, with some class players, but if we're well in the mix towards the end of Feb then I see no reason for us not to push on and win the thing.

Yes, no more than three points behind the leaders at end of January will be a sound position, combined with still in all three cups, better in some ways than a small lead as it would lessen the pressure. Obviously a ten point lead would also be acceptable.

If we win our next three I think we will be top come January.

I don't think arsenal will be the tuffet test either. Fulham away is where we are likely to drop the points.

Where the fuck did I get David Barry from? Notes must have tucked with my head...
And I obviously didn't meant that Gareth is big physically, just that he is a giant on the pitch.

Weird that , as the BBC reported that the A*se extended their lead at the top !

Can't see how, as Scouse 2 won yesterday, Scouse 1 drew with the A*se ,Chelsea lost and City drew.

Or were the BBC referring to A*se's main rivals, the rags ? That might make sense.

They might be right... Before the weekend they had a four point lead over second placed Chelsea, now they have a five point lead over second placed Scousers?
