From the outside looking in, everything seems to be fine in Gunner land. King Henry comes back to save the day with a late winner against Leeds in a 1-0 victory and Arsenal hosts Aston Villa in the next round of the FA Cup.

However, after reading between the lines, I wasn't too thrilled with Arsene Wenger's pre-game "motivational speech" to the fans, players, owners, and sponsors.

While the economy in Italy lurches from one crisis to another, there is an export market which shows no signs of a slump. Across Europe, it seems, there is a prized product of the peninsula which never sees demand dry up.

This was bound to be a eye catching for the fans but ever so difficult for everyone involved with the clubs and especially referees.

Steven Gerrard believes Liverpool's players were to blame for the short reign of Roy Hodgson at Anfield.
Liverpool faced their former manager at West Brom on Saturday evening, less than a year after Hodgson left the Reds. After a disastrous six-month spell that saw Liverpool lose at home to the likes of Blackpool and Northampton, Hodgson was replaced by Kenny Dalglish.

To be a success at Anfield, the manager has to deliver attractive football, and according to Houghton, Roy Hodgson's inability to produce that meant he was always destined to fail.
