The Independent wrote:They can stop asking the question in the Match of the Day studio. Yes, Arsenal are on course to take the title. Their win at Cardiff, whose fans proved with Aaron Ramsey that you don’t have to be vile to a returning footballer, put them over the 30-point mark with a third of the season gone. Only three Premier League clubs (Newcastle in 1995-96, Chelsea and Liverpool in 2008-09) have made better starts and not won the league. The Premier League is won from the front. Only twice in the last 10 seasons have the eventual winners not been leading after 13 games.
Just ramping up the post-Christmas disappointment that is no doubt in the post.

unfortunately arsenal have prolonged the "can they win" talks by losing to Man U.
If we can draw or win at Eithad next week, that'l settle it either way

Villa at home. Hopefully get us back on track after b2b defeats. Although;
Southampton have a glut of injuries, particularly with goalkeeper Artur Boruc out with a broken hand and fellow keeper Kelvin Davis also absent.
French midfielder Morgan Schneiderlin has a groin injury, while the trio of Gaston Ramirez, Danny Fox and Guly do Prado are also unavailable.
Piss.

Don't get people that don't like midweek games, prefer them to weekend games

They're too late if you don't live right next to the stadium. With work these days I can literally only go to Sunday home games. I prefer the atmosphere for late kick off though..

nice healthy 23% possession. but hey, going in at 0-1 at half time is always nice
