I'd forget your calculations Matthew. I think they are all over the place.

City still got a chance, 5 of our last 8 games at home including Spuds.

Let us just agree then Narnia that Spurs will do their usual handbag performance when they play United

I'd be delighted though I seem to remember they were 2 up last season at OT before the ref intervened and brought MU back into it.

Let's have a hurrah for refs! :))

Speaking of which is it just me though Peter Walton made a mountain of a molehill on Mancini vs Moyes?

Eh - that was me...

You're Wenger?

Eh?

Good to see there is still some honour in Football Management, as Zola considers his future overnight to whether it is he that is the problem for what is happening on the pitch down at West Ham.

"I need to find out what is the problem - and if the problem is me. I will have to think about that overnight. I don't think it's that the players are not trying. The bottom line is to see whether I can help them or not."

Just watching MOTD and Gary Linekar just said "Arsenal have played virtually the whole season without a goal scoring centre forward......"

Thats pretty much the point I was making.

As he is a Spurs hero - you have to accept he and me know more than thee :)

Blues/Arsenal was a great game of football and a draw was a fair result. Embarrassed Chelsea couldn't keep a clean sheet.

Bolton 0 - Man. U 4

Well I enjoyed that! Best team won - again. Felt a bit sorry for Bolton though, especially about that own goal...oh well...

Have you just got back from the game? Cool....

[kpc]

It was a very well placed own goal though.

I wish!:(

MOTD, I'm afraid...but I hope to attend soon (birthday prezzie from Lordmuck hopefully)

[Mick Mac]

I know LM - just jesting. Good to see you enjoyed the game though.

Yes, the irony of it...poor souls.

[kpc]

And as a Birmingham fan I take no pleasure in the fact that it was by an ex-V***a player.

[Jah Lush]

Well done Kevin Phillips for bagging his 250th goal and to do it to equalise in the 93rd minute against the Arse made my day, that and Tottenham winning off course.

[SimonM]

I had Birmingham 1 Arsenal 1 in a forecasting competition I play, so well done Kev! :)-D

We may even pass each other as we go up ...

He said a centre forward. You said striker. There are different types of strikers are there not? If you'd said centre forward I'd have agreed with you but you didn't you said striker. Perhaps next time you'll be more specific.

[Mick Mac]

Striker = Centre Forward to most people Jah?. You can have lots of forwards but the striker is the one that plays front and centre. Thats what Arsenal have had to play without.

But good to know you would have agreed with me had I used the right terminology.

More importantly Arsenal have played the whole season with a crap goalkeeper as further evidenced on Saturday.
