My boys keep nicking points off the stronger teams then procede to shit the bed against the midtable pack. I hope McLeish doesn't sell Kapo, would be a huge mistake.

Watching Tevez mince around with a dummy/pacifier/soother in his gob angries up the blood.

Goal differential with ManUre is shot to sh!t now.

@praglodyticjames: 6 goals in the second? I knew the Magpies were going to have a challenge today, but that's just absurd. Poor Given.

@hockalees: Don't get FSC here in Canada... the match isn't on here. Of the usual weekend slate Setanta shows 8 (live or tape-delayed), Rogers Sportsnet shows 1 live on Saturday, and "The Score" shows 1 live on Sunday. But for some reason today Setanta's not showing Everton-Man City at all.

He had expressed some interest in coming back to the Gunners, but I guess we weren't all that serious, considering we have Van Persie and Adebayor, and Eduardo's form is much improved.

@BigTenObsession:
I would have liked Anelka if we picked him up over the summer. Now, he must be loathed!

Looks like Arsenal is going with a 4-4-2 with Adebayor and Eduardo up front. I am interested in how those two work up top. I have felt that Bendtner is kind of lazy when paired with Eduardo.
