Thanks, Rob. Overcame the two jinxes and stretched our lead over the pre-season favourites. Next up, Scottish Cup match v Aberdeen at Pittodrie. Manager said today that it'll be nice to be the underdog. ICT really charging with former Hearts legend John Robertson at the helm - good win for them today v the Doonhamers.

Well done.

But we have other, more immediate concerns.hopefully city will have the title wrapped up by the final day.
Were all the goals scored with legitimate parts of the body?

Hey Rob, I'd like to make a comment. Since you adopted a more accepting approach to the 'unmentionables' giving them a larger font size, they seem to have dropped off and lost a few points. Just mentioning it.

OK,OK unmentionables in normal sized font in future

I would have a preference for Van Bronckhorst or Martinez with Arteta as a deputy and Keown, Bergkamp and Adams there too. That, though, is jumping ahead as I am committed to Wenger until and unless he decides to go. That is, on the basis that he will have the sense to know when. There are several key issues. I believe that Arsenal are second or third in terms of financial assets. While I am in favour of careful spending and against the silly money in the game the principles might have been taken too far now. Additionally, I would want to see a review of where the weakness is in the way we tend to sign prima donnas. I'd also be looking at what leads to an above average level of injuries - the manner of training and what is being ingested - and the transforming of the stadium atmospherically so that it feels like home. The latter would focus on inner décor and acoustics but I would also open up some of the corners of the ground so that the locality outside can be viewed. At present, it is all far too insular and anodyne with insufficient reference both to history and geography.

York City have got themselves back into the play off places with more games to play than some. Blyth Spartans, who are one place above, haven't drawn in 24 games. Is that a record?

Congratulations to Liverpool.

Well done too to Roy Hodgson who I have tended to support against his detractors. An extraordinary turnaround at Crystal Palace just as at West Ham with Moyes now in command.
