Arsenal must nullify Nonda to survive in FA Cup replay


26th February 2007
ANDY NONDA is a cross between Andy Johnson and Andy Cole - a killer in the box, and I mean the six yard box as much as the penalty box. The Blackburn striker, real name Shabani Nonda, is red-hot right now, having scored twice in a 3-0 win over Portsmouth… more »

Is Cardiff the final of Denilson and Shevchenko ?


24th February 2007
Most cup finals in England are between the Big Four, so Arsenal v Chelsea conforms to a pattern. I reckon Arsenal play better without Henry but I also reckon a manager should not use a final as a development exercise. If Drogba or Lampard score early, Su… more »
