Beeb to blame for drop in football temperature

SATURDAY’S bore draw against Blackburn was the absolute antithesis of the thrilling entertainment we enjoyed up at Bolton last week.

Yet, I suppose if the Arsenal served up such footballing caviar twice weekly, it would taste like smelly fish eggs!

Despite the sort of profligacy from the penalty spot that made for an incredibly stressful evening for every Arsenal fan, there were several instances of artistry in our interplay at the Reebok, that will have been appreciated by all genuine lovers of the beautiful game. When the seemingly interchangeable components of this Gunners’ squad are truly on their game these days, the results are pure poetry in motion.
