A bumper weekend of Footy on TV and an especially good time to be an Arsenal fan, we're on the TV shedloads over Chrimbo. Even the beeb have us on for the FA Cup. :eek:

Back to matters at hand, firstly the big match this weekend (imo of course ) is the Norf Landan Derby between my beloved Arsenal and Totteringham Hotspurs. Based on the kids performance midweek and the previous win over Chelski, coupled with the fact that Spurs are more than likely gonna have a Kaboul/Zokora CB pairing, I think we're value for the win.

Elsewhere on Saturday Villa-City should be the pick of the other matches which have quite a dull feel to them, but then again you would have said that about Wigan - Blackburn last weekend and look how that turned out... Pool - Pompey *should* be an emphatic Pool win (The Boooo-kies have Pompey at 7/1 :eek:) but I'm thinking 'Arry will be having some of that 7/1 himself.

The matches on Sunday should be entertaining enough. Expect cards and tackles in the Blackburn-Chelsea match. The Utd-Everton match should have some good footy for the purist in it. Moyes has Everton playing nice football this season. Yakubu to score anyone? And Newky should continue on their Unbeaten run

And so ends my pointless spiel.
