Sideshow Bob and Arsenal


First of all, the kids have been in Scotland with their mother who had taken them to visit David.  They got back, my wife being knackered having driven down from Edinburgh.  Needless to say, I am very happy to see them having missed them these past few days.

On the downside though is the performance of Arsenal.  I should really say it was the defensive performance, though the use of a diamond formation in midfield gave Liverpool space on the pitch to exploit, which they did.  Going forwards, we were dangerous and Pepe has shown himself to be a good signing.  But I have argued that our problem last season was in defence.  We managed to get Sideshow Bob from Chelski, but his two mistakes in the game cost us, one being a penal, they other letting Liverpool to score.

On the bright side, ManUre lost!
