The 1-1 Draw with Portsmouth, means we now need the Spuds to drop points, while we can't afford to drop any.


There has been some finger pointing over the rotation of players this week, but I watched the game against Portsmouth and the players on the pitch should have had the game won.
We all know that ,at this level, if you miss chances then there is always the possibility you'll pay the price and so it proved on Wednesday.

In all honesty we should have had at least 3 goals and the header that Adebayor missed was easier to put in the net than round the post, so if that had gone it was game over.


West Brom at home on Saturday (The game is live on Direct TV for those of you in North America) is next, and we can expect another tough game. In fact, to quote Arsenal old boy Kevin Campbell, they intend to make it:

messy and nasty

So make of that what you will.


Speaking of Campbells, Sol broke his nose against Pompey, and has had surgery which means he won't be playing, so expect to see big Phil back alongside Toure. The Spuds travel to Everton, so we are looking for the Toffees to do us a favour, but we need to do ourselves one first and take all 3 points.


Come on Gooners!
