A lot has been written about Arsene Wenger recently; much of which will now die down after the ‘plucky underdogs’ beat Man Utd. But one swallow doesn’t make a summer. If there was a problem, it was there before the game, and it is there now. I for one don’t think there is. Wenger has [...]

Two good wins for the English teams last night – a Gerrard inspired Liverpool won 2-1 in Marseille, and Chelsea were ominously efficient in a 4-0 destruction of Bordeaux. Scolari revealed the first signs of pressure in his pre-match interview, reacting nervously to the suggestion that he had to win the Champions League to avoid [...]

Bad week. 40 points. No clean sheet for Arsenal or points for my captain Adebayor, Bentley disappointing, Elmander forced off injured… Lescott, Young and Yakubu my only real points scorers.
