Fulham 1 Man City 2.

LOL what a weekend for Cardiff.. results went their way because teams failed to take advantage of knocking them out of the PO places and 3-0 up at home against Watford:D.

Manchester City won.

3-1 at CCS, nearly full time;).

Yes they do but there is no denying you would have won as many games without rooney in the team what is it 27 league goals?

Fabregas is important for us no doubt. But we have had our stirker out all season.. and we are still in a good position, we played with someone who is like 5 foot 6 upfront for over a month aswell.

Liverpool have shown what they are like without torres aswell which isnt very good..

Chelsea still do very well without drogba tho.


But yeah if we didnt have fabregas, you didnt have rooney, liverpool didnt have torres and chelsea didnt have drogba obviously they wouldnt be on as many points..

But i feel torres and rooney are the big big difference makers. for their teams.

Chelsea draw against Blackburn:shocked::D, still in the race though it will go down to the wire..

It's nice when a player gets their individual rewards but the team ethic is the most important part of the game;). No team is a one man team at all:nono:, theres plenty of talent around:D.

Yes of course but like i said, theres no denying you would be top of the table without rooneys influence..

Great to see them draw.

Great for us...
Birmingham away next.. should be good..
They arent on the best form right now..

Met andrey arshavin last night, he's such a sick player, If I see him again I'm gonna try get him to join huddersfield town!


This tweet from Chris Fountain (formerly Justin Burton in Hollyoaks):D:).

My mate is a fat version of Andrey Arshavin

I shit you not

Picture? lol.

Arsenal striker Nicklas Bendtner is being linked with a shock £15million move to German giants Bayern Munich.
The Denmark ace has found his shooting boots in recent weeks and reports now claim that Bayern are keen to take him to the Allianz Arena if they can agree a deal with the Gunners.

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is sure to put a block on the move as he sees Bendtner as a key figure in his future plans but that may not stop Bayern making an approach.

The Frenchman hopes to bring in Marouane Chamakh on a free transfer from Bordeaux during the summer but that does not mean he is looking to sell Bendtner and any offers from Bayern will be rebuffed.

Meanwhile the Gunners are also said to be lining up an £8million bid for AZ Alkmaar goalkeeper Sergio Romero.

Arsenal boss Wenger dreads more Barcelona transfer talk for Cesc


Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger knows their Champions League quarterfinal against Barcelona will spark a new round of transfer speculation for captain Cesc Fabregas.

Wenger is keen for the build-up not to focus on Cesc's links with Barca.

"I believe it is an exciting tie for football reasons," he told arsenal.com.

"The worry in the modern game is when you go to matches, you do not focus on football any more.

"When Chelsea played against Man City, people were more focussed on the Wayne Bridge/John Terry handshake. I was excited to watch a good football game.

"We have to make sure in our job we focus on what is important and what we love, it is not the stories which the media dictates to people - it should be about what really matters to people and that means football.

"In my job, I have to make sure that is the case."

Arsenal Comment: Manuel Almunia Goes From Scapegoat To Title Saviour In One Fell Swoop

Arsenal goalkeeper Manuel Almunia has always been picked out as the weak link in the team but his superhuman penalty save against West Ham has rescued his reputation as well as the Gunners’ title bid.

Brian Clough famously said that a great goalkeeper is worth 12 points a season. Almunia’s denial of Diamanti from 12 yards could be worth all of those at once.

The spot kick saviour preserved Arsenal’s clean sheet and in doing so sent the Gunners to the top of the league. Arsene Wenger’s side has now stretched their winning run to an incredible six games in a row.

The sending off of Thomas Vermalen was soft. Yes, there was contact but if that was always an offense then you would see 10 penalties in every game.

Had the game gone to 1-1, it would have been very hard for Arsenal to get themselves back on top with just 10 men. And if Arsenal had dropped two points against West Ham, this side’s incredible momentum would also have been lost.

One gets the feeling that if Arsenal are to win the Premier League title, they really must win every single one of their remaining games. With Manchester United, Chelsea and the Gunners all so close, every point is crucial.

Almunia’s dramatic dive to keep out Diamanti’s well-taken penalty not only keeps Arsenal in the race but pumps up the pressure on their rivals who still have to play each other.

Sure, the Spaniard came off his line. But show me a goalkeeper in the Premier League that doesn’t. In fact, saving a penalty is such a tough call that such a rule shouldn’t even be an issue.

Whatever the result is of that game between Chelsea and Manchester United, one thing’s for certain now: it’s going to be good news for the Gunners. But the north London side must now maintain their form against Birmingham next week.

The loss of Vermaelen for three games as a result of his sending off this evening will be hard felt. Sol Campbell has come in and done an excellent job in the absence of William Gallas but he looks vulnerable at times. Arsenal’s recent success and the increasing numbers of clean sheets has been down to these two hard men building a successful partnership.

Campbell has been dominant in the air for Arsenal but Vermaelen is also no slouch with his head. The Belgian also could be relied to tidy up his at times clumsy team-mate’s mistakes thanks to his quick feet and excellent reading of the game.

Arsenal fans were relieved to see that Wenger did not turn to Mikael Silvestre when a replacement was required, instead turning to the excellent Alex Song.
The pairing of Silvestre and Campbell is not the solution if the Gunners are to win the next three games until the Belgian returns.

The hugely improved Song must stand-in for Vermaelen while the two veterans are rotated. Wenger must just hope that that decision does not weaken his midfield too much. No one in the squad can protect the back four like the Cameroon man can.

But all that worry can wait because thanks to Almunia’s moment of redemption, Arsenal are sitting top of the league - and now it’s up to their rivals to catch them.

Almunia has had a great season imo, as good as any.

Don't be silly

The day Man united have to play Chelsea..

Arsenal play wolves at home.

I feel he has, yes hes not the best keeper in the league but he hasn't been bad.
Hes been better than the majority.

Great that we are top scorers still.

hes been woeful at times I'd never be confident with him in goal so gaff prone

hes no where near the standard of Reina and co

LOL.

Someone said that was a clear penalty...

Bloody hell was he pathetic the way valencia went down.. if you stay up that far a little tug on the arm cant pull you over..

I disagree.

We have seen so many mistakes from all keepers this season.
Cech made loads of mistakes.


Almunia has been pretty consistant, yes hes not quite as good but no doubt hes has been good and his best season yet.

Hes left more open aswell, more of our team attack than any other..

Was outside the box to lol.

Ridiculous.

Papers not gonna stop this Ben until Cesc ends up at Barca:p.

El Hadji Diouf:joker:.

Well you're hardly going to hear it any other way from two ex Liverpool and Arsenal players. Lads on Sky Sports said he was still grabbing onto him in the penalty area so Mascherano has only himself to blame.

Yeah i know lol.
Hate him

Good that blackburn won.


I like blackburn but i hate allardyce..
