If you carefully select portions of this game you can make a video highlighting many of Arsenal's major problems. With another selection you could also show the reasons that make the Gunners such a great team to watch and support. It was a classic Cup tie and one that will remain in fans' memories for years to come if it can spark a run of form.

At half-time today, I admit that I feared the worst. We were losing 2-0 and staring in the face of exit from a competition which, realistically, offered our best opportunity of silverware this season. Fast forward 45 minutes, and Arsenal had completed one of the more memorable comebacks of recent times.

Cometh the hour, cometh the comeback- for once.

Finally, a win for Arsenal! The matter by which it came was joyful, and may just have put us out of our recent funk. In a match where Arsenal dominated in terms of possession and chances created, Aston Villa, with a first-team lineup, crawled to a 2-0 lead at half time.

Three goals in seven second half minutes that's all it took for Arsenal to win a game in which they were otherwise unimpressive. While the comeback was miraculous and the result crucial, many problems still remain.

As has been the case for the last month or so, Arsenal started at a pedestrian pace.

For the game between Chelsea and Aston Villla we had ref Mark Halsey at the whistle. Was his game as surprising as the final result?

Winning with ease when not on top form is far more fun than frustrating draws or defeats when dominant. Still, if not for converting the first two corners within 15 minutes, Liverpool could well be ruing more missed chances and more effort rebounding off wider-than-normal goal posts.

It'll seem as if Liverpool are playing nearly every day over the next few weeks, with eight matches in a month, but there's probably little point in wholesale changes just yet.

They obviously can't be bothered, so neither can I. It was a positive line-up, but Utd never needed to get out of 1st gear. McLeish must be giving out his instructions in Russian or something because he's managed to make some very capable players look like they haven't the first clue what they're doing.

Emmanuel Adebayor helped himself to a first half brace, but should have had at least a hat-trick during a game that Tottenham barely had to break a sweat to dominate. In fairness, such was the gulf in quality, we should consider ourselves fortunate to have left with the score only 2-0.

There were rumours before kick off that Alex McLeish intended to field Alan Hutton as a right midfielder and Carlos Cuellar behind him at right back to deal with the threat of Gareth Bale and that's what he did.

Ireland secured a Euro 2012 play-off spot after a dramatic 2-1 win over Armenia, but it came at a price as Kevin Doyle was sent-off in the second half.
The striker is now certain to miss the first leg of the play-offs and will need some generosity from UEFA to avoid a two-game ban.

Ireland manager Giovanni Trapattoni has named a 27 man squad for the Crucial Euro qualifiers against Andorra and Armenia next month.
Jon Walters and Seamus Coleman both return to the squad and Wigan's James McCarthy is also named in the Irish midfield

Dare I suggest that we can concentrate on the league now? No? Didn't think so. Nevertheless, we are out of the Carling Cup thanks to a 2-0 loss at home to Bolton in what, by all accounts, was an utterly dismal performance.

Chris Eagles picked up on a Marc Albrighton mistake to score a screamer from 20 yards.

Another USMNT friendly is kicking off at 11:30 this morning. Not sure if any of you guys will be able to catch that from your various places of work or not, but it should be a fun match regardless. Aside from that news is pretty dead as we're coming off a gameless streak and a holiday.

I'll get a discussion thread up for the game today (learned my lesson missing the Costa Rica match) but it probably won't be anything too detailed.

The summer transfer window has finally come to a close, Alan Hutton and Jermaine Jenas both joined from Tottenham to complete our squad for the coming season.

Hutton joins on a four year contract and will be Luke Young's natural replacement, especially with news of Eric Lichaj's hip injury keeping him out for the next four months.

After his big money move to West Brom, debut goal versus Man Utd and a follow-up strike against Chelsea, a ballad has been written for Shane Long!

Legendary Gorthnahoe (County Tipperary, Ireland) musician Willie Dunne joins the Corrigan Brothers to celebrate the sporting achievements of his fellow parishioner Shane Long.

Just over 21,000 saw Villa earn their place in the 3rd round of the Carling Cup the hard way thanks to a late goal each from Eric Lichaj (80′) and Nathan Delfouneso (88′) from the bench.
It's a game I've yet to see anything from first hand, but it sounds like we dominated the game pretty much in the manner you'd expect over a struggling League Two side, but were frustrated by some fine goalkeeping from 20 year old loanee, David Cornell.

Season Predictions: LFC to Win the All Important Race for...Third

Arsenal – Hard to gauge this team given we don't know who is coming in or out before end of August. Looks like Nasri and Cesc are gone, whoever they bring in may take time to gel. They should have sold both earlier in the summer so they could get the likes of Mata, Enrique and Cahill in to add quality and give themselves a chance to challenge again.

Yes, it's just pre-season. Yes, it's still early days, there's much to be done. Nevertheless, the positive signs continue. The green shoots of recovery are quite possibly poking their heads through the soil.

Darren Bent (who else?) got the only goal of the game in typically oppressive conditions in Hong Kong, but there were encouraging performances all around the pitch.

Aston Villa striker Gabriel Agbonlahor has told Aston Villa fans that they need to back their new manager Alex McLeish after widespread criticism of his appointment in the Villa hotseat.

McLeish caused much controversy after he made a controversial managerial switch from relegated Birmingham City to arch-rivals Aston Villa this week with sections of Villa fans openly protesting the Scot's appointment.

I heard a whisper a day or two ago that Carlos Cuellar was in London for a knee operation and the Express & Star and OS have confirmed the news with some interesting details today. Apparently, Carlos was having a torn meniscus in his right knee fixed and will now be out for up to three months, probably causing him to miss the start of next season.

Lineups are in:

The big news is Vermaelen's return to action.

The final home game in what has been an ultimately disappointing season, and a chance to almost cement 3rd place.

It hurt watching the Manchester clubs yesterday. Manchester City won the FA Cup and congratulations to the knuckle dragging, bog dwelling mingers upon winning the Title.

I can write in two words why we didn't win the PL in a year when we were surely the best football team Home Form.

Since Sunday's defeat at Aston Villa, we've seen a number of rather harsh comments about Nile Ranger's display.

It felt good I must say. Usually with any new Football Manager game I would have the tendency to first dip my toe, picking, perhaps, a high end Championship side to build my knowledge of the game.

Ireland manager Giovanni Trapattoni has confirmed his 22-man squad for the Carling Nations Cup opener against Wales at the Aviva Stadium next Tuesday, February 8.
James McCarthy has been added to the senior squad and alongside the inclusion of Wilson, Coleman and Clarke makes for a very exciting blend of young Premiership talent and more experienced campaigners like Keane, Duff, Dunne and Given.

Ireland manager Giovanni Trapattoni has named his squad for the Carling Nations Cup opening game against Wales which takes place in Aviva stadium on Tuesday February 8.
