Hope not, hope its one of those days where your shots just never seem to hity the target...

And Reading get one clear cut chance..

Heskey will get a hat trick:joker:.

But that view should not be allowed to overshadow something much more positive, because along with their conspiracy theories, Arsenal left the Britannia Stadium last week with three valuable points after standing up to Stoke’s physical approach.

Even before Ryan Shawcross saw red to lend an advantage, the visitors had produced the tools for a fight in a way they haven’t always been able to manage. This time, however, the call to arms was answered. People such as Sol Campbell, Thomas Vermaelen, Alexander Song and Emmanuel Eboué provided some muscle to accompany the magic. Nobody bullied this lot last Saturday night, a fact that got buried underneath the uproar.

It shouldn’t be forgotten at the Emirates, though. The home dressing room, in fact, should feed off that resolute display before going out to face Burnley today. With 10 games to go and Arsenal facing the easiest run-in on paper of the contenders, who’s to say that the title won’t end up in north London?

That sounds ridiculous, I know, when you think back to how Chelsea and Manchester United put Arsenal in their place. A gulf in power and experience meant that, at the end of those four dispiriting defeats, Wenger’s boys looked anything but champions-in-waiting.

We can forget about all that now, though. It’s about what lies ahead rather than what went before and Arsenal’s challenge rests with overcoming sides mainly in the bottom half of the table. Since they’ve been fairly good at that this season, you simply can’t rule them out, especially if their approach remains steely strong.

Roman Pavlyuchenko: with six goals in his last four games, Tottenham’s forgotten man is back in the limelight. Fulham’s Wembley dreams depend on stopping him on Saturday.

Watch us lose.. lol

Thomas Vermaelen has praised veteran defender Sol Campbell and the effect he's had on the team since joining the club in January.

Campbell returned to Arsenal for his second spell at the club after nearly six months out of the game, joining as a free agent after leaving Notts County.

Due to an injury to William Gallas, Campbell has found himself in the team more than was perhaps expected of a player initially signed as backup, but Vermaelen believes his experience has been invaluable for the team.

He said: "Sol has so much experience and is so strong physically that if we have to play more games without William Gallas we can do it.

"I can learn a lot from him - about my positioning on the pitch, I have learned a lot from William and from Sol on that already in my time in England."

The Belgian went on to say that he believes Arsenal can win the title and that confidence is high at the club.

He said: "I can feel in the dressing room the players are really ambitious. In training and in the games we are giving 100 per cent. We are mentally strong now, we believe we can do it."

"Chelsea and Manchester United still have to play eachother and all play against big teams. We hope they drop points and that we can win every game."

wasn't worth it at 1/7

forgive me for not understanding but what does that mean, if you put 10 pound on you would get 17 back? lol < shows my understanding...

1/7 means, you win £1 for every £7 you put on
7/1 means, you win £7 for every £1 you put on

right so if i put 70 pound on Arsenal i win 77 pound?

wahey portsmouth winning 2-0

poor Joe hart.. :(

He needs to be england number 1..

you would win £10, and you would get your £70 stake back
so you would collect £80 or lose £70

Ohh right... soo..

Ill be back in a bit going to put 700 pound on the Arsenal game..

Cheers.
