Nani not only probably ended the first team career of Hoyte at Arsenal but also handed Rico second place with an individual 7 point haul.
Sid, with his two Liverpool defenders and Toure in his backline left him with the dubious honour of having the season's lowest weekly score: -5, to slip further behind.
No transfers. Here is the table:
| 1st | Stathi | 376 | |
| 79 | 2nd | Rico | 297 |
| 83 | 3rd | Mike | 293 |
| 100 | 4th | Sid | 276 |
| 143 | 5th | James | 233 |
| 146 | 6th | Nick PC | 230 |
| 154 | 7th | Nick Ath | 222 |
| 163 | 8th | Don | 213 |
| 204 | 9th | Theo | 172 |
I have stayed quiet on the weekend's events but like a rumbling volcano, today is the day to explode:
Q1. Why has the FA not charged Gallas for kicking out?
A1. He plays for Arsenal
Q2. Why did Flamini get away with a scandalous lunge at Nani with a clear 15 yeard run up?
A2. He plays for Arsenal
Q3. Why were the Sunday newspapers more concerned with Nani juggling the ball rather than Wenger's utter contempt for the FA Cup?
A3: It's Arsenal
Q4. Nani showboating? Give me a break. Watch it again. What should he have done? Boot the ball into row Z? He controlled the ball, kept it away from an opponent while running towards his goal, laid it off and then has to hurdle Flamini's atrocious challenge. Why?
A4: It's Arsenal. Remember when Pires and Henry tried THAT penalty? That my friends is showboating. What did the media say? Wonderfully inventive blah, blah, blah. That was more disrespectful in my opinion.
Q5: Talking about respect, Wenger claimed Nani tried to 'humiliate' his team. Really?
A5: The biggest disrespect that happened around Saturday's match was Wenger and his team not showing up. Tell that to my mate who paid in excess of £40 for a ticket, £3 for a programme, £25 travel and £15 for beer and food and then see Adebayor, Flamini and Clichy on the bench and more worryingly Traore and Hoyte on the pitch. Injuries? Oh yes. That's why the claimed hamstring injuries that kept the Elepahnt washer's son and Flamini wearing four layers of tracksuit finally saw them come on with 15 minutes to go when the game was finished and the temperature was -5 degress C pitchside. Very professorial Mr Wenger.
Also, just accept defeat. Please. For once. Just once. Moreover Wenger and his side should not lecture on respect and humiliation. Why? Pizzagate.
And finally, are Arsenal as a club under Wenger not the ones who religiously preach the virtues of the beautiful game and condemn anything contray to this? (Ask Allardyce when at Bolton for example). Does the display on saturday on the pitch and afterwards in interviews not contradict this? (the term is 'sour grapes')
They are the team the media creams its pants over whenever they put together a move of 5 or more passes. Hello, Arsenal did not INVENT 'pretty football'.
Rant over - I feel better now. I await your abuse!

Arsenal humiliated in another cup tie - f*cking priceless!
Mike - I think we got the makings of another great mastercard advert!!
It wasn't so much priceless as it was hillarious!
The only disappointing thing about this particular post is that George Kaplan appears to have ignored it... Rise to the bait man!
Mr kaplan text me the other day and said he would read it in due course and would reply.............unless he agrees with it!!!
Mr Mouse, what's going to happen this weekend?
I try to keep out of the sectarian swamp. Not because it's sectarian, but for the same reason that I enjoy watching people who really hate each other fighting. Delia says 'Come on James - let's be 'avin you!'
