Arsenal 3-2 Aston Villa FA Cup 29th January 2012
With Aston Villa going in at half-time two goals up, Arsene Wenger would no doubt have been
preparing himself for a mountain of abuse from the Emirates crowd for the rest of the
afternoon.
David Anderson's Big Match Verdict: How Newcastle have exchanged false prophets for real
profits
The Toon Army were determined to have a laugh last night. In addition to the obligatory
shirtless contingent on a cold, wet Merseyside night, one fan was dressed as the Honey Monster and
another as Sesame Street's Big Bird.

What do we have here? Why, it's a gaggle of photos of the England chaps training at the Vasil
Levski Stadium in Sofia ahead of their Euro 2012 qualifier against Bulgaria
tonight...
Close eyes > hope for the best
Who knew the Suga Puffs Honey Monster was Bulgaria's national emblem?
Frontman of Glasvegas, James Allan once played as a winger for Cowdenbeath, East Fife, Queen's
Park, Gretna, Stirling Albion and Dumbarton, making 105 appearances in the Scottish Football
League. He was part of the Cowdenbeath squad that won promotion as runners up in the 2000–01
Scottish Third Division.
A repeat of last season's 7-1 romp at the Bridge? Don't count on it. Hell, right now, I'll take
a stoppage time goal of the most outrageous variety, off an ass, whatever.
Preferably from the Honey Monster, though.
