There's a free video with Theo and Gibbs up on FATV: http://www.thefa.com/video/England/Mens-Seniors/2010/France/Walcott--Gibbs-exclusive

They talk a bit about Arsenal and the next generation of young english players.

Pepe LeFrits

The BBC reckon Alex is out for 2 months too!

I'd go as far as saying that if we're not top by the end of January, then we don't deserve to win anything this season.

Pepe LeFrits

I dunno, our fixture list in the latter half of the season is easier I reckon. If we're somewhere near the summit by January I think we've a great chance.

Don Pacifico

They've got Ferreira as a CB; we really ought to be able to take advantage of that with just a two point gap.

Clrnc

Ferreira is really terrible as a centreback. Absolutely horrible. He is the sole reason they lost to Sunderland.

Lukazan

The sole reason.. 😆 Don't be silly.

Clrnc

A little overstatement but you get the idea. Every single attack of Sunderland, if you notice what Ferreira was doing 😆

Meh, trophies aren't handed out in January. My take on this season is that there aren't any defining games/months, ts simply who outlasts the other two. Even if we're 3rd in January, so long as we're within touching distance we'll be there or thereabouts.

I know what you mean though, if Chelsea do have a CB crisis now would be a great time to pounce. I think our best chance to win the league is to hit the front as early as possible.

But two weeks ago you said that no one in their right mind could possibly think that we're challenging for a trophy this season. I have to agree with Armor. Trophies are not handed out in november, nor in january.

I'll go out on a limb and make a bold prediction that if we are top of the table at the end of the 22nd of May, we most likely will win the premiership!

I didn't read your post properly the first time around lagos.
Overlooked the all important date!
Thought for a moment you'd gone mad 🙂

I think that's kind of my point though. We have such a great opportunity now but we seem incapable of taking advantage of it and that is indicative of our capabilities; unfortunately despite my hopeful naivety, it seems as if my natural pessimism will once again be the winner this season.

Rumours doing the rounds on Twitter that Ancelotti handed in his resignation yesterday, which was rejected.

Wouldn't be surprised. Martin Samuel reckoned Wilkins was sacked because Abramovich felt as if he amassed too much power, and reckoned Mourinho was sacked for similar reasons. I also wouldn't be surprised if their poor run of form has to do with what is happening behind the scenes.

The more Chelsea struggles, the harder it is to accept that we dropped points yesterday.

Does everyone feel as if Chelsea is a shoe-in for the title this season?

Klaus

Such a strange thing to do. Apparently he got a seven-game suspension for it which will keep him out until early february.

James

That lad took it fairly well, huh?

est

That was retarded.

Claudius

I was at the game where Suarez denied Ghana a place in the World Cup semi-finals. He's an unsporting bastard. No problem with him getting a long ban

kamikaze

yea he seems bit of a dickhead.

blackpool 2-0 up, get in!
