*Official* English Football Season 2009-2010

[duffer]

FFS he was offside.

 

[GIMH]

Hang on, are Arse on Sky or ESPN?

Point for the whites today. Not a bad result. Still got that four point cushion. Wish it was fourteen.

ESPN.

Match turned round really. Wouldn't be happy about that pen decision if I was an Arse fan, for various reasons, but I suppose they should be happy he wasn't sent off.

 

[chalky]

Boateng sent off can't have any complaints the 2nd yellow was worthy of a red on its own

 

[grecian]

Well about time, TBH. Don't wish to start an old argument, but Hull have been fairly poor with their challenges here, not hard just dirty, three possible straight reds for me.

 

[duffer]

Booing Sagna after he got hacked down by Boateng. Really? No, really?

FFS. We'll bring Theo on to run at these guys once they start to tire. Think we'll win this. Though Hull have been fouling us every time we string two or three passes together. Unfailingly, hopefully we can sort out our set pieces soon.

 

[grecian]

Even though Hull have been very anti-football here, it's been a shocking second-half from the Arse, have not done at all well against a poor ten-men. Needed to show more to be title contenders.

Nicklas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[BoyBrumby]

Vital, that. Reckon we'd have been gone but for the win. Sounds as if Myhill might've done bit better with it.

 

[Jarquis]

For all you haters out there :

Don't care who you are
Don't care where you're from
What you say
Because Bendtner, I'll always love him.

*to the tune of Backstreet Boys*

Backstreet boys eh. Well that's SOOOOOO cool

Very poor keeping for mine. Neither went for a punch nor the catch and just ended up slapping the ball back to Bendtner who duly finished it off. Well done Arsenal, made to work for it today but I think they deserved the win, Hull's penalty should never have been awarded either, clear offisde. Can't believe the stupid commentary team suggesting Campbell should have been yellowed or sent off for his tackle on Zayatte either.

 

[The Sean]

Didn't see the game, but credit to the Gunners - they seem to be getting a lot of late goals at the moment, which speaks volumes for their character and persistence.

Genuinely more concerned about them than Chelsea for the title right now.

Larger than life ftw.

Haha, long story but that song has been a big part of my day today so decided to try and make it fit here.

In all honesty I'd say the title is Arsenal's to throw away.

On paper, Arsenal are quite capable of taking maximum points from their run in.

I know that football isn't played on paper, but although Arsenal trail in the title race I'd say they should be slight favourites right now.

 

[Jarquis]

Think that's hard to say as even winning all of our remaining games won't win us the title. We're still relying on Chelsea and United both dropping points.

True, they've still got to play each other however, and UIMM, both still have to play Liverpool, and possibly Villa (Chelsea definitely have to play Villa). That's a lot harder than the bottom of the table cannon fodder that Arsenal have the majority of their run in against.

Yeah, our run in is a lot easier but we still have to beat City at home and then the ****e at their place. If United and Chelsea draw, they need to drop points elsewhere as well. There's opportunities for that to happen, most likely in the ties you already mentioned, but by no means is it a forgone conclusion.
Will make for an interesting finish anyway.

 

[sledger]

Not going to suggest we are anything like favourites until we actually have some sort of points advantage heading into something like the last 4 games of the season. Until then, taking nothing for granted, don't want to get hopes too high. One thing I will predict though, is that this season's run in should be one of the best ones in recent memory.
