- Brilliant cracking game between Arsenal and Newcastle. Arsenal looked the fox in the henhouse for most of the game, and did well enough during the inevitable ebb tides. Plenty of shots taken and enough to think they should've been up several goals by the end. Vermaelen performs the smash and grab at the death (or thereabouts, minus the Dutch buffoonery). And now, we're just one thin point behind a wobbly Spurs.
- RVP. The legend continues. 44 goals in the last 45 Premiership matches. Amazing.
- Neither Verm or Gibbs covered themselves in glory on the Newastle goal. Vermaelen with the giveaway in the center of their defensive area. Gibbs with his positioning to allow BArfa in, then diving past him to allow him to get the shot on his favored left foot. Nonetheless, both did much to atone for the early mistake.
- Great response to equalize after 53 seconds
- Whose a big bald clown? Howard. Webb.
- The only thing saving Hatem Ben Arfa from being a useless idiot would be that left foot, I guess. Call him a useful idiot, then.
- Is it me, or does Laurent Koscielny lead the league in knocked heads?
- Bacary Sagna had another very strong game. Man, did we miss this guy.
- I never thought I'd utter these words: "No, don't sub Rosicky out!"
Nine thoughts on footy and other matters. The concept, thin as it is, is based on the Full 90 concept, but informed by statistical research that indicates that no one in their right mind is going to read a list of 90 items long, let alone write. Nine, though, yeah that's the stuff.
