Good that we got a home draw, and we had to play them or Man U at some stage. Wenger will stick witht the kids (second-string) but let's face it they're good enough. We can win if we play well, simples. More important to beat Sunderland imo so hope he sticks pretty much with the team that beat Chelsea.

Kenwyne Jones (groin), Jermaine Pennant (hamstring) and Jon Walters (ankle) are now all expected to be fit enough to appear on Sunday. (.com)

bit of a myth the "form goes out the window for derbies" etc. we've tended to get the points when we've been the better team generally and they have when they've been the better team. we went so long with a good record against them because we were for so long the better team, even their two 2-1 wins came at a time when they finished above us and were generally better than us. I didn't say it threw form out the window though. Due to the nature of the derby I said tactical planning can suffer. Heat of the moment and all that stuff.

Zonalmarking has some respect for the tactical astuteness of Steve Bruce. The derby nature of our game with them tends to throw tactical nous out the window though, could/should be a cracker. http://www.zonalmarking.net/2010/02/21/arsenal-2-0-sunderland-an-ambitious-approach-from-steve-bruce-that-almost-came-off/

Also quite a few wayward passes and often looked a bit out of his depth. Some nice plays mixed in. All in all rather mediocre really though and nothing to write home about. Don't know if there was a fear factor, playing at Stamford Bridge against Chelsea etc. Would effect different people diffferent ways.

Quality of football overall has surprised me too, pleasantly obviously.

Wouldn't call Lovens a first teamer.

I want to know if Raylor had got a knock or something, seemed a bizzare substitution putting Tiote on for him.

Don't want extra-time..

Alex just fucking fell over the twat.

Ref's a cunt!

Another game we could have scored 6 tbh.

Excellent save Krul

Good save.

Wtf are the Chelsea fans booing at?

Ferriera is having a 'mare.

Wonder if hughton will bring on Barfa for tha last 15 or so.

3-2 Anelka.

Fourth goal is coming like.

Lovenkrands, tit!

Find out who the 7 kids are Typical prejudice, completely blind. if he can't notice it's Newcastle's second string out there also.
