I wouldn't write off Sunderland.

 

Sunderland are well organised under O'Neill. They could beat any Premier League team when they're playing well, which they are at the moment. They need a striker or two, though. It's a shame, because they've had some good strikers. Welbeck did well there, Bent was awesome whilst at Sunderland and Gyan looked great, too. If they had gone for Demba Ba instead of Newcastle, they'd look even better.

Some commenters on websites really piss me off...somebody about Portsmouth's latest financial crisis:

 

It was partly forced on them because so many other teams were doing it, but Portsmouth basically cheated - repeatedly - and their punishment is to exchange an FA Cup, European run and unearned Premiership seasons for a place where they would have been five years ago without such cheating. It's no punishment at all.

 

What a joke....Football is a false economy granted but to call us cheaters for just trying to keep up is a joke.

Quite refreshing to hear some honest remarks from the gooner camp (not that we're miles ahead per-say).

 

There's quite a gap between the top 3 and the next big 3 (Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool). Table shows that. I still think Newcastle are going to fall off and finish 7th or lower. More than likely they'll finish 7th.

Disappointing game tonight. Team started off well and then just decided to coast. Ashley Young was quite frustrating to watch tonight. Team didn't work hard enough and it's shameful to somehow take a 3-0 two legged lead and then only just go through.

 

As for Henry's quote: He's right, and it's impossible to disagree with him. He has been with the club during some of its high times, so he knows what Arsenal are capable of. It's not just about bad performances and being low on confidence, there's far more to it than that. This derby game won't solve Arsenal's problems. Investment in the squad and bringing through quality players will.

I don't think the quote intends to say miles ahead, I think he means we were miles ahead now your on top. Which you are, as I always say league table doesn't lie.

 

I wish our lot would stop talking about the fixture though, too many articles on our website saying the game is important. Firstly, all our games now are important. Secondly, talk is cheap, if the players talk this bollocks up and then don't perform then god help them.

 

Also news we might be loaning Arshavin to Zenit to the end of the season. I'll rip my hair out if that goes through. I've slated him this year, but we've got 13 games to make something of this season, we'll need everyone to do that. Proved the other week against Sunderland for Henry's assist he is still valuable, absolutely ridiculous if it happens.

United game was awful last night. Not a good time to start watching their euro games again. Stopped watching them when they kept being so boring, other teams always end up passing way better while United defend and win. Nani lost the ball every time he got it and just didn't look bothered. He is not good at tricks, so he should just sprint... He can outrun a lot of people but he just tries to use skill and fails.

Slight contact, but his foot was out to get clipped, if Mike Dean is awarding a penalty then he should have shown Szcezny a card of some colour, otherwise it shouldn't be a penalty, ridiculous officiating there. I think Spurs let us back into the game, before the second goal they were repelling almost everything we threw at them and sometimes lethal counter attacking. Which way this will go I have no idea. Walcott has been poor today, how many promising positions has he been in and completely fluffed it?
