Whatever your view of Spurs' deadline day transfer dealings, don't expect Kevin Bond to be reading any comments after the late captures of Louis Saha and Ryan Nelsen.

Bond did however attempt to ease any disquiet by suggesting that we should all trust Harry and the players he has brought in.

Paul Merson felt Liverpool boss Kenny Dalglish got his tactics wrong in their 0-0 draw with Stoke.
The Reds went into the match with three central defenders - Jamie Carragher, Sebastian Coates and Martin Skrtel - looking to deal with Stoke's lone striker Peter Crouch.
Merson said it became quickly apparent that Liverpool didn't need so many bodies at the back, but Dalglish persisted with the formation throughout a frustrating 90 minutes for the Anfield crowd.

I was watching SkySports' Soccer Saturday and when they talked ahead of the game yesterday, Paul Merson said he "worried for Chelsea" and "they are in a battle to finish in the top four this season". Of course his comments at the time had me ranting at the telly claiming that Merse' didn't know what he was talking about.

Former Arsenal and England attacking midfielder Paul Merson (43) was arrested on suspicion of drink driving yesterday after crashing his Mercedes into the back of a 40 ton truck at 3.30am.

Merson who admitted cocaine abuse in 1994 while playing for England and Arsenal, has had a serious of addiction problems from Drugs, Alcohol and gambling and it seems the likable SkySports pundit has fallen off the wagon again, let's hope he can back back to the Paul Merson so many of us love with his great sense of humour and constant piss taken.

Sky Sports and bad punditry

I'm not a fan of Sky Sports; despite watching it more than I should. It's shallow and far too excitable when covering the most mundane topic. I watch it anyway and it can be funny in seeing how relentless they can be in self-promotion. What annoys me though is the punditry, and how bad it is at times.

For a long time now, the media have portrayed us as a club in crisis. Over the last few years, Arsene Wenger's methods which were once admired and revered have been questioned and put under scrutiny. We, as Arsenal fans are very loyal to Wenger as we don't – or can't – forget all the great work he's done in the past.

You can (obviously) believe everything you read at Pies, but as for everywhere else, don't believe a word. "Sport" magazine caused a bit of a furore recently when they printed an interview with Barcelona new-boy Cesc Fabregas, in which the former Arsenal captain was quoted as saying that he left the Gunners as they had no chance of winning a trophy in the foreseeable future.

Are goalscorers overrated?

Football teams consistently seem to want goalscorers, someone to push them over the top, take them to the next level. But having had a rummage around in the game's history, I've begun to wonder if this desire is not misplaced.

It started when I was reading about Arsenal's 1990-91 side. This team is not looked back upon with any great fondness, partly because it did its thing just before the Premier League era, partly because George Graham's sides have been slightly tarnished with age.

To start off I have to say the comments made by Paul Merson are for some reason designed to cause trouble. Take one glance in the papers today and all you will see in big letters is: "MERSON: WENGER INJECTED ME WITH UNKNOWN LIQUID". It is pure attention seeking, an attempt to raise his profile and make a mountain out of an innocent molehill.

Time for your medicine, sir. No side effects, honest.
