different level

I wouldn't go that far. TBH, I've always felt Lpool overachieved greatly this season because of the phenomenal form Suarez is in, their lack of European commitments and other factors. They won't be as strong in the coming seasons.

LOL. Happy anniversary, Arsene!

Schurrle is absolutely fantastic today!

LOL at the ref for confusing Gibbs for Chamberlain. Anyway, no mercy for these cunts. Destroy them!

The kid turns 30 today! Happy Birthday, Fernando!

Really shit weekend. The outlook was to kick Pool and Arse from the title race, but it appears they'll put themselves right back up there.

Gerrard might kiss tv cameras all he wants. He won't be getting anywhere near the EPL trophy. Liverpool still have to play City and us and just like it was the case in the festive period, they're going to get a reality check with two losses, not to mention there are still a lot of matches to be played and points could be dropped everywhere.

The United situation is a dream come true. It's a shame I can't enjoy it since Scumpool are on the other end

No penalty hat trick for the scouse thug.

Sturridge, you diving piece of shit!

That's right, Clattenburg. Give penalties for liverpool until this sorry cunt Gerrard becomes EPL topscorer...

Absolutely weird thing to say, but: Let's go Manure, lol.

http://www.goal.com/en/news/9/england/2014/03/14/4684688/anelka-terminates-west-brom-contract?ICID=HP_BN_4 Looks like he has terminated his contract with West Brom. Poor guy, he had just started to find some form, it's a pity he won't finish the season because of something so stupid.

I've never had a proper Chelsea away shirt if we don't count a yellow Autoglass kit my parents bought me when I was a kid, but it was a replica and it was painfully obvious it's not the real thing.

Damn, if City lose, Arsenal will win their first trophy in 9 years. That just should NOT happen!

It will be "ours to lose" if we have a 6 point lead with 5 games left to play. Right now it's best to concentrate on the next match and not to put some extra pressure by saying those things.

Apparently he was named Manchester United's Player of the Month for February.

Great cross by Lallana! Sturridge's celebration makes me cringe everytime I see it.

Glad to hear Hazard is okay! Meanwhile we also have Schurrle playing the second half for Germany, while Azpilicueta and Eto'o are starters in their countries' matches.

So to sum it up we're going to have every important member of our squad picking up even more fatigue on these pointless international matches. Cech played against Norway for 62 minutes, Oscar, Willian and Ramires - 45 minutes and Luiz for 64 Ivanovic and Matic are starting for Serbia as well as Cahill and Cole for England with Lamps likely to appear later on, Schurrle and Hazard are subs but will definitely enter the pitch at some point. The only ones who will have a rest are JT and Torres.

Why would we need to guarantee Lukaku to be a first choice striker in order for him to stay? Who is he to be given that kind of cushion?

On theory, yes. But show me one season where that was the case. Of course the numbers don't show everything, but you can't deny the progress in comparison with the last 3 seasons. Also I don't think it's just a fluke that the last time we reached that amount and more at the same stage of the season was with Jose.

So far we have 63 points with 28 games played Just for comparison I gathered our points tallies in the last 10 seasons after the same amount of matches. I'll let you make your own conclusions, but just look at Jose's only three full seasons with with us. Coincidence? I think not. 2012/13 - 52 pts 2011/12 - 49 pts 2010/11 - 51 pts 2009/10 - 61 pts 2008/09 - 57 pts 2007/08 - 61 pts 2006/07 - 63 pts 2005/06 - 72 pts 2004/05 - 71 pts 2003/04 - 61 pts

He's playing an amazing high pressing game, putting his strength and physical attributes to good effect and creating opportunities for himself and the team. I actually think he'd fit our system.

Football is a game of two halves and today we got the reminder. The first half was depressing indeed, but I'm proud with the way the boys stepped up in the second. Jose pressed Eden's magic button at HT and I still can't get to my head how was Andre able to score a HT! And to make my day even better Arsenal lost to Stoke and we're 4 points ahead of them and 6 ahead of City (although they have 2 games in hand). Well done everyone!
