Matchday 36 of the Premiership was another walkover.
Own goal, Fabregas, Henry, 3-0 at half-time, 3-0 at full-time, a walkover
2005-2006 has been that sort of season, really.
A Premiership season which has been mostly walkovers or games where the attack failed.
Not many all-action games, not many pulsating victories in the league, were there?
Wigan 2 Arsenal 3 was a good game, but that was in November.
Sunderland are statistically the worst team in Premiership history, without a home win and having only 12 points so far. The previous lowest total by a relegated team was 19.
And daft young Niall Quinn, everyone’s favourite Irishman, has a consortium ready to take the club over, so he will soon be handing out valium and beta-blockers to a new board of directors.
Don’t do it, Niall ! It’s not worth the grief !
Anything of interest in the walkover? Song played with Diaby, whose ankle was injured by a malicious tackle from Dan Smith in 92. Smith should have been sent off.
Sol looked ridiculously rusty.When he fell over trying to reach sub Athony Le Tallec it was reminiscent of Bobby Zamora and West Ham.
Ashley Cole came on as a sub, which disgusted me.
I was absolutely amazed to see him on the pitch.
I’ve won my last four bets, including one on Arsenal to win by two goals here, so I was having quite a good-humoured weekend till I saw Cole come on.
Ashley Cole is leaving Arsenal, so why is he being given playing time ?
So his next club can see he is fit ?
The sooner Ashley Cole is sold and forgotten, the better.
In fact, he actually left Arsenal six months ago. He has gone. He is ancient history. He will not be at Arsenal next season. What you saw today was a computer-generated image.
Also : please do not write to me on this subject !
If you do not share my views on Ashley Cole, fine.
But please, please, please do NOT write to me about him.
