Arsenal 3-0 Newcastle

2

Another game, another easy win at the Emirates. It was at times a pleasure to watch, and at other times, agonizing (ok, to an extent) to see the opportunities missed. The final score should have been 6-0. At least. Undue pessimism aside, it was a very good result for Wenger's kids. Important to note that it was Cesc's 200th Arsenal appearance - rather amazing for a 21 year old.

Gunners cruise past Newcastle as Van Persie stars

My Wallet is Too Small for all my Fifties and My Diamond Shoes are Too Tight

Christ, what is it with all this complaining at the moment?

Reading into the reaction

1

Tales Of The Unexpected

A few unexpected things have happened today.

There was of course the appointment of John Terry as England captain, which was a surprise since virtually all the predictions I had heard were that Rio Ferdinand would be the preferred choice.

Middlesbrough Dazzles With Opening Day Premier League Performance

The most impressive side I watched, by far, on Saturday was Middlesbrough. The link-up play between Tuncay, Alves, Downing, Aliadiere and, later, Mido was sensational. Wheater was also impressive. At times, it was like watching Brazil with all of the backheels and blistering attacks. Seriously. While Spurs controlled a lot of the possession in this match [. Click to continue reading...
