yea if you let him do whatever, arshavin can tear team's back lines up. chelsea's however is more organized, so solely he cant do it. liverpool? nobody exceptional except jamie carragher. glen johnson proved to be the mvp of that game for arsenal. popped in the goal for theo, then offered himself to be burned by arshavin for the winner. so thats a 10 match rating in my book for him..lol

united had ONE!! golden opportunity to score, and im sure you know pips which one im talking about. rooney shot it so hard that brad friedel showed his world class reflexes by putting his hand up to try to block the shot 2 seconds after the ball had hit the bar and bounced away. lol using troy's wooden horse was an understatement if i heard one sister..nobody couldve scored on villa that day.

and chelsea doesnt have to improve on set piece defence. recommended but not required. come on pips, you and me and val know roman abramovich is going to sign players come january so improvement isnt necessary, and we all know abramovich can solve all of chelsea's woes and his solution ideas ALWAYS work. just enjoy chelsea dropping points for now and laugh come january, arsenal are set for a late surge! before facing portsmouth on the 9th on january, the next 4 matches excluding aston villa, consist of clubs ranked 14th and lower on the league table(everton, burnley, and hull city). villa in between these fixtures can shake up momentum heading into january, but if we can take points from villa, we can charge up the table in a heartbeat. so be prepared ms. n, i was kinda down because arsenal was struggling, but with chelsea and united handing the gooners points on a gold platter, we've a great chance.
