Post Match: Birmingham

Arsenal 3-1 Birmingham

Good! Another win with a few top four losses the same day! After watching a Chelsea on Sky Sports 1 bombarding Aston Villa only to make two vital defending errors seemed very welcoming. Yes they are our rivals and it's a massive boost for everyone that the now favorites slipped up again, but we have the same problem in defending that kind of ball. Take a look today as Mannone flapped at the ball and yes it went in. We proved last game we could come back from behind but being 2-0 up then 2-1 and just before we killed the game off a massive chance for Birmingham for 2-2. But thankfully that never happened and we did win.
Also as i just said "killed the game off" that what was exactly what we are getting used to doing this season, I know we should had done at Old Trafford but...well lets not get into that shall we!
Theres always going to be good an bad things to chat about but so far its going good we are keeping up the pace next test will be the Spurs game on the 31st the rest of the games before hand we should have won. I still think we will beat Spurs, it will be a good battle and will surly give the players a lift after. The midweek Carling Cup game Vs Liverpool will be interesting I hope the "Young Guns" are on form.

Now i do have a thing to say about the Liverpool game too. Now im pretty sure the rules do state that if the ball is hit by an object not associated with the pitch, it should be a drop ball. But they gave it anyway and in all fairness it was a Liverpool fan that punched it on the pitch in the first place but still. Should'nt the offishals know the rules? (and now this morning in Sky Sports News just confirmed what I said!)
Oh and i fully agree we should have video comfirmation for goals or any controversial decision in play just so we will have no complaints what so ever!

Anyway back to the match and Theo's injured again. It was a horrible challenge and i am very angry about it as those are the tackles that will injure the likes of RvP, Arshavin, or even Cesc for a couple of months and as a result, have a run of poor performances. You can't expect other teams to stop a strong approach against Arsenals game, it does prooves effective...sometimes! We need some injury "resistant" players who can just pick up the player that tried to break his leg and lob him across the pitch!! With that said Vieria springs to mind and we have still won nothing without him. Im not saying we need him back we need a stong player in the middle to boss the game.
Well Theos under going a scan and we'll find out soon how bad it is.

I'll edit on this post a bit more later,
