...and I would really appreciate it if I had an Arsenal win to enjoy, sadly that does not seem to be the case due to another round of utterly pointless internationals.

There is only one bit of news and I wouldn't really call it news.

Well, wasn't that all a pleasant surprise last night. Getting a lead, and holding it (eventually), Nasri and Eduardo getting 90 minutes, Craig Eastmond being an absolute powerhouse in the middle of the park, the fact that the more Liverpool raised the tempo, the better we played, Fabianksi not looking like Nervianski at all, Kerrea (FYI Sky it's not Gary or Ciara) growing into his position, Fran's wonder strike.

Mark Hughes, who last week shamefully defended Adebayor's stamp on Van Persie's face, has again attempted to defend the indefensible.

"The guy shouldn't have been on the pitch, that's just not acceptable," he said. "I seem to remember Brian Clough clipping someone around the earhole because he was being daft, and maybe that's what Craig has done.
