Thierry Henry came off the bench in his last Premier League appearance for Arsenal this year and capped the occasion off in perfect style with a late stoppage time goal that wrapped up all three points for the Gunners.

In a toughly contested match at the Stadium of Light, James McLean opened the scoring for Sunderland 25 minutes into the second half, when he capitalized on Per Mertesacker's slip to guide the ball past Wojciech Szczesny from an acute angle.

Chelsea boss Andre Villas-Boas admitted that as his side prepares to kick-off at Goodison Park this afternoon, damage control is the only ambition for the Blues in a Premier League campaign where they have not been 'very honorable'.

With Tottenham seven points ahead in third and Newcastle, Arsenal, and Liverpool all within striking distance of Chelsea's current fourth position in the table, Villas-Boas acknowledges that it has been a shaky ride for a side that was assembled to chase glory.

Nicks' note: This is a guest post. Like Ramires powering through the middle, straight-talking Sahil Dumir holds no prisoners and says it like it is. Small bio? He's a smug-smiling, hard-working, all-round good egg. He's also a Chelsea fan, which offsets all of the above.

Well, can you believe it!?

Arsenal have reached the landmark 40 points needed to stay in the Premier League!

Back in August another season of struggle was being predicted by the knowledgable Arsenal faithful. A lack of quality signings in the transfer window and an air of disappointment from pre season results even had some sections calling for a new manager:-

"Wenger will win nothing.

Right then, after a week which has been dominated by two craggy faced managers (so much so that Fabio Capello was in my post-apocalyptic dream last night wearing a gigantic gold hooped earring), it's time to turn our attention to the stuff that really matters.

Arsenal play Sunderland tomorrow and under Martin O'Neill they've been about 61 times better than they were under Mrs Doubtfire.

Tim Howard and Landon Donovan hope to guide Everton to a win as they take on Chelsea at home, while Clint Dempsey and Fulham hosts Stoke City.

The Blues might be sitting pretty in position 6 in the football money league rich list but the truth of the matter is that their financial situation is not too good. With a massive debt in excess of over £1 billion, Chelsea could soon find itself in a very messy situation.

It is also now emerging that Chelsea paid £28 million to sign Andre Villas-Boas from Porto last summer.

List of football clubs around the world according to revenue, prepared by Deloitte.

Top 20 clubs in 2010-11 Deloitte Football Money League.

Newcastle United defender Mike Williamson is aware that Tottenham Hotspur's terrific form throughout the season indicates their prowess, particularly at White Hart Lane.

Following Monday night's goalless draw at Anfield, third-place Spurs return home and with manager Harry Redknapp cleared of tax evasion charges, the North London outfit will be completely focused on picking up all three points in Saturday's late kick-off.

Real Madrid y FC Barcelona siguen siendo los dos clubes con más ingresos del mundo, según el estudio ‘Football Money League', elaborado por Deloitte, que analiza la información financiera de los clubes de fútbol correspondiente a la temporada 2010/11. El Real Madrid alcanzó durante la pasada temporada una facturación de 479,5 millones de euros, un nueve por ciento más que la 2009/10, mientras que el FC Barcelona, que incrementó más sus ingresos, hasta un 13%, alcanzó los 450,7 millones de euros.

The following is copy-and-pasted verbatim from a Chelsea forum, in which former former youth Chelsea player Sam Tillen who now plays his football in Iceland writes candidly about his experiences as having John Terry as his club captain during his formative years.

By Chris Wright

I think I may have an idea why Chelsea are stuttering a bit this season; if this video is anything to go by, their training sessions are utter chaos!

Firstly we see some assorted slapping from everyone present, then Fernando Torres exacts revenge on John Terry for an earlier buffeting by wrestling him to the ground.

Spanish club Real Madrid has for the seventh consecutive year topped the football rich list this is according to auditing and financial advisory firm Deloite &Touche. Madrid posted a turnover of £433m for the 2010/2011 season to finish first ahead of arch rivals and fellow Spanish side Barcelona who came in second with revenues of £407m.

Have you been wondering what it takes to make it to the top-flight? Here's your answer: beat yourself with a book several times a day. Chelsea players opt for books from the Horrible Histories series, but a Harry Potter could work just as well for you. Spotted on Dirty Tackle

Arsenal are now just three points behind Chelsea in the coveted fourth place in the Premiership, so a win is an absolute must this weekend at Sunderland, but with the (perhaps more important?) Champions League tie against AC Milan coming up in midweek, Wenger will be considering his team selection very carefully.

Audit and financial advisory firm Deloite & Touche released it's football money league rich list yesterday with La Liga club Real Madrid topping the list for a seventh successive year. Closing following Madrid in second was fellow Spanish club Barcelona.

United came in third on the list, however, it is the dominance of English clubs in the top ten that has got people really talking.

It may not have been a man of the match-calibre performance, as those honours would have to have gone to one of the defenders—and probably either Glen Johnson or Martin Skrtel. And he likely didn't even have as good a game as his previous two against Wolverhampton and Manchester United. Regardless of that, however, after nearly a full calendar year filled almost entirely by futility as he struggled first with fitness and then with fitting in, it's understandable that on the back of three strong showings on the bounce people would be eager to look for any upside they can find in the 2012 edition of Andy Carroll.

Park Ji-sung has silently achieved a feat that many cannot even think of - to play 200 games for Manchester United. He completed the milestone when he was introduced as a substitute in United's staggering comeback draw at Chelsea on last Sunday. The 30-year-old energetic midfielder who joined Manchester United in 2005 from Dutch side PSV Eindhoven was considered a money-making venture by many

I've spent too much of my 25 years in the States trying to convince Americans that there's more to England than the great city of London. However, it's quite likely there'll be 6 London-based teams in the EPL next season. ...

Arsenal winger Theo Walcott has dedicated his team's recent 7-1 mauling of Blackburn Rovers to their under-pressure manager Arsene Wenger.

The Gunners dominated the relegation-threatened side last weekend, which was the first time that they collected all three points this year. The lopsided victory means that Arsenal are now just three points behind fourth-placed Chelsea, who threw away a three-goal advantage against Manchester United on Sunday.

It would appear the Seattle Sounders may be getting close to announcing details of their summer friendly. A league source has confirmed to Sounder at Heart what Michael C. Lewis originally tweeted that the Sounders' home game against Real Salt Lake will be moved from July 18 to Oct. 17 in order to accomodate an international friendly.

Park Ji-Sung made his 200th appearance for United last weekend in our 3-3 draw with Chelsea.

When Park joined United for £2m in 2005 several people claimed it was just to appeal to the Asian market in order to sell more shirts. Those people obviously didn't watch him play for PSV against AC Milan in the Champions League a few months before we bought him.

"You see this smile on my face? It's only for the cameras, ok? I genuinely despise you"

Currently doing a spot of pre-season training in Spain with new club Shanghai Shenhua, Le Sulk, Nicolas Anelka, has described the hell he had to endure during his final days at Chelsea.

Since signing for Chelsea in a £50million deal over a year ago, former Liverpool striker Fernando Torres has mustered up a paltry three premier league goals. Clearly, he's still struggling to make the grade at Stamford Bridge, which is mystifying considering his undeniable talent and quality.

Liverpool's top four hopes are delicately balanced at the moment. The club is only four points behind Chelsea, and with 42 points still to play for, fourth place is still very much in the club's hands. However, Kenny Dalglish's team has struggled for consistency this season, and has regularly failed to capitalise on the inconsistency of Chelsea and Arsenal.

There is naturally talk of Newcastle maybe qualifying for the European Champions League this season, and that's because we are just one point away from joining Chelsea in 4th place. Jonas Gutierrez challenges Alan Hutton on Sunday But in reality we would still be in fifth place because our goal difference of +5 is inferior to the other top side like Chelsea +15, Arsenal +12 and Liverpool only +7, clubs who will also [.

Now that the dust has settled, here's a look at some of the transfers that took place during the January transfer window, and see if we can separate the wheat from the chaff.

Whereas last season money was being splashed out on the likes of Fernando Torres and Andy Carroll like a mad gambler who got his greasy mits on a load of free bets, the window this time around was a lot more sensible, indicating a lot less value in the market.

On initial inspection, similarities between Andre Villas-Boas' Chelsea and Edgar Allan Poe seem most abundantly clear in a shared propensity for an excruciating and painfully drawn-out narrative (think Fernando Torres and The Pit and Pendulum).

It is being reported this morning that the Chelsea striker Daniel Sturridge has been pinpointed by Arsenal as the perfect replacement for Robin Van Persie if he is sold to Barcelona this summer. There have been rumblings for some time that Sturridge is not happy being left out on the wing at Stamford Bridge, despite [.

It is now emerging that Neymar will not be leaving Santos after all. Premier League club Chelsea have confirmed that they have ended their pursuit for the teen star after he committed his future to Santos until 2014.

Villas-Boas revealed that his side have failed in trying to sign Neymar and that he has already chosen his next destination which will most likely be Barcelona.
