Tottenham 1-0 Chelsea
West Brom 1-1 Bolton

Did ya notice that Arsenal's the only team to win away today? Fan-freakin-tastic.

We didn't completely have it easy though. Newcastle had a penalty early on and it was given, Almunia the perpetrator. And then Almunia the saviour. Frankly, I thought it was rather harsh. He was going for the ball to get it between his gloves and was a bit clumsy.

I had my brother's friend watching the game with me. He's an Arse fan. Just no cable at home and don't think he has been to the Liz before. Someday huh. Aha. But yeah, good companion. And I was telling him about that night in Rome where both keeper cmi. So I didn't expect Almunia to save it. And he did. Sometimes we just have to do away with expectations.

And you would have thought that the team would respond somewhat after being so close to being one goal down. Apparently not. By then I was wishing half time would come sooner so they'll have 15 minutes to have urgency.

And it didn't happen again. Like blast it. When they played like this before they either drew or lost.

And Arshavin who wants to be the greatest Arsenal player, was the one with the terrific delivery from a freekick on the lefthand side. It is almost exactly the same as the one Toure scored. So credit to Newcastle for replicating the terrible defending. What's awesome was Arshavin's delivery and Bendtner's leap. And header.

The thing about Nicklas Bendtner is that he needs confidence. With the goal to his name he started playing with fire in his belly, making more forward runs and having for to his game. Unfortunately though, I have to cover the part where the defence went to sleep and Martins was given the chance to level terms and redeem himself for the bad penalty. What a dramatic run to the technical area.

Too bad it was shortlived.

We got a freekick where it was blown for Diaby's foul on Steven Taylor, who has been rock solid all day with 2 crucial blocks from Van Persie's goal bound shots. And Diaby's foul put him out to the sidelines and Newcastle without him in the middle just crumbled. And who stood to benefit? Diaby himself.

So here's the funny part. Facebook has been pumping out veins with quizes. They all back. And the brother started complaining that he got Diaby after doing the quiz, answering every question as truthfully as possible. His friend says Diaby is a defensive midfielder. I said he's definitely not and there he went thundering through the middle with that ferocious shot into the back of the net. 2-1. The brother, on the back of the Man U defeat just looked stunned as we celebrated.

BAHAHA.

Not so bad being Diaby now?

Definitely need to find that quiz.

Samir Nasri knew just how bad it would be to carry on the game at 2-1 and wrapped things up 3-1 and Newcastle never looked like coming out of it.

I screamed into my brother's face that Nasri scores goals and Hleb doesn't. He thinks we made a mistake letting Hleb go. Oh please.

Nasri = goals.

I think Denilson and Diaby in central midfield is bad. Song pairs better with Denilson for reasons I don't know of or can't fathom. More understanding maybe. So I don't know how Diaby comes into the mix.

it's going to be international break! I've got next week to settle the last bits of renovations for my place and I'll be all set to move.

Then I realised that there isn't any need to set up cable since all we've got to do is bring the box over. lol.

Tomorrow's pool-villa game should be interesting. Pool wants to close the gap on United who managed 2 losses in a row and many many suspensions from these 2 games. Villa would want to keep up with us for a Champion's League spot. So.

We'll see who wants it more.
