SF, while I'm glad to see you skipped the 'still gonna win the whole thing' boast for a change, you better watch your backside instead. The PoperSexuals are coming up quick in your rearview mirror.

I have to remember to pick players that get points, not just ones i like... Funny, it worked for me the first year...

I've gotta start my own pundit column. As in teams are advised to add Bellamy and Giggs this week since I have swapped them out for new players (cue Bellamy to score twice).

Yeah, gspm, you should let me know which players you sell before the window closes each week.

I'll second that.

You'll like this. Henry is on the bench at Old Trafford. What a week!

Yeah, I hate this frigging game. ESPECIALLY since I am battling Sauril for positions and he hasn't touched his team since about September while I am in the lead, or just off it, for transfers.

The level of shit talking is at an all time low... I would post a graph, but i don't know how...and i would have made up the facts anyway.

Dear Arsene. Please play Henry tonight. I won't bother asking why you decided to keep him on the bench for most of the game against Man U. AFAIK, he is the best player in the EPL. AFAIK, being in 6th place was not your goal and that earning a Champions League spot for next year is your miniumum threshhold for domestic success. AFAIK, that means you have to make it to fourth and have to then overcome the 5 point gap that exists with two games in hand. AFAIK, beating Portsmouth is a near sure 3 points. AFAIK, leaving your best player on the bench for the other match you have in hand, which is a large part of your attempt to reach 4th place, is something only you can explain to me. But what do I know.

And here's me fat and happy that van Persie gets to dirty his boots.

And can I just add that I'm pissed off the Portsmouth-Arsenal game is being shown on an 8-hour tape delay stateside? Thanks.

Well, he played Henry, but it didn't seem to make much of a difference. At least Henry and Adebayor got some points this week.

Playing Henry really did the Gunners a fat load of good, eh? How they couldn't make two goals against near bottom dwellers makes me think they better pull a Liverpool or forget about Champions League next season. And hey, I'm not too bitter about getting all of 24 points from three Arsenal players with a double game week including Henry as captain. No, not at all. Just give me a sec to send of this hate mail to Wenger... okay, there we go.

And Sauril's CruiseControlBoys still have some life in them. Lots of life.
