20.35 – Arsenal 3-1 Sunderland (Kanu 2, Vieira)
The Gooner machine rolls on with a near flawless first half performance and a leisurely stroll in the second. Two early goals from Kanu, who is playing out of skin, made the game reasonably safe after just 9 minutes. Vieira scored his first goal since March just before half-time. His last goal was against Sunderland at THOF too.
Arsene Wenger was quick to praise new recruit Pascal Cygan for another impressive performance at the back. We’ll have to wait and see how he goes over a longer period of time, but he looks like he has the stuff.
Elsewhere, Liverpool kept up the pressure with a jammy last minute win over Chelsea. I watched the first half and it was utter shite. I might as well have been watching park football so little happened. At least in the park you’re guaranteed a bit of a fight at some stage. Still, all we can do is keep winning.
