15.55 – It looks like it’s a two horse race for the title now, after Man Utd grabbed an injury time winner against Chelsea today. Typical blues got themselves in front, then gave away a soft goal before half-time, and Forlan then put paid to their title chances for another year with a belter in the 93rd minute.
Arsenal take on West Ham tomorrow, and although he could play, AW hasn’t made up his mind whether or not to risk Patrick Vieira. I was going to give you a link to this story on Soccernet, but at this stage I’m so pissed off with having to choose my region every time I go to that site, I’m never going there again. I urge you all to boycott Soccernet as well, or if you do visit, choose the wrong region. That’ll teach them. Freddie is also missing after suffering a setback with his achilles injury.
It will be a last ever Premiership game at Highbury for Nigel Winterburn. A true Gunners legend, who like so many Arsenal players before him is seeing out his career at the retirement community at Upton Park. This will probably be his last season before retirement, and I wish him well for all the remaining games in his career. Except for tomorrow. Spurs try again to gain some revenge for the Sol Campbell transfer by signing another Arsenal youngster. No doubt Jamie O’Hara can at least equal Rohan Ricketts’ marvellous achievements since joining Spurs last summer. Imagine swapping Arsenal for Spurs. It must be like being married to Kylie, then dumping her for this.
And on that charming note….
