Arsenal -- stay at 3rd Sunderland -- stay at 13th, down to 17th
I think Lee Cattermole is on a red, IIRC. Andy Reid limped off in their last game, don't know if he is fit yet. Almunia and Song return but Diaby is now out. Arshavin, Eduardo, Gallas, and others remain sidelined. Should be a rout. If this team has any pride they will shred the cats. In related news, Bent has quit Twitter to focus on the relegation battle. My FIFA 10 told me that.
Shit, I knew Song was out but I didn't really put two-and-two together yesterday. He would of slowed down Porto and raped some shins. If we don't win this convincingly, I give up. I lol'd.
That's why I think pride is so important. Losing to Sunderland twice this year would be a disaster. Hoping for a three or four goal win.
That too. But we dropped games to ManU and Chelsea so I dunno if the title race is enough of a motivator.
A world class effort it wasn't. Still, 3 points. More like 6 with ManU losing today. If only Chelsea had also stumbled. Good to see Aaron Ramsey back in the game. Silvestre didn't do too badly. Fabregas was good. Finally drew a penalty. He's had like five or six no-calls this year since the incident with Eduardo. I like Cana but he should've been sent off for his two-footed tackle on Eboue. Eboue was great. Walcott was typical. Almunia was good enough. Song is the young player of the year. Can't believe we all wanted a holding midfielder last summer. We have a good one who is turning into a great one.
Great game from Eboue. Good games from Nasri, and Walcott. Song was solid as usual. Fabregas, and Ramsey showed flashes. Pretty good game to watch because both teams were a bit suspect defensively.
