Round Up

West Ham will not go down. This is mainly because Burnley are about to lose Owen Coyle and also because Hull, Portsmouth, Wigan and Wolves are crap.

Owen Coyle joining Bolton should have no bearing on Wednesday's game. Coyle is expected to be officially announced as Bolton's new manager on Thursday and will watch the game from the stands at The Emirates. Coyle leaving Burnley means relegation for the Lancashire club.

The attendances of some clubs in last weekends FA cup was atrocious. Wigan only managed just over 5,000 fans to watch their tie against Blackburn Rovers. Last season just over 4,000 fans attended Wigan's home fixture against Notts County in the Carling Cup. Wigan are currently bottom of the Premier League average attendance table with an average of 18, 464. But they are not alone. Ex-EPL outfit Middlesbrough only attracted 12,400 fans to their 3rd round fixture against big spending Manchester City.

Both clubs belong in the Championship.

Leeds beating Manchester United was sweet. Leeds deserved their win. Shame that Man United loving and Fox Soccer Channel host Jeremy St. Louis (what a wank name) did not show Leeds hitting the crossbar in the second half. Viewers of his corny show only saw Leeds goal and then Man United chances. It was biased reporting. To lose to a team two divisions below you is disgraceful. Most managers would have lost their jobs over that defeat. Instead Fergurson blamed the referee as he always does when Man United lose.

Stoke City away in the next round is not going to be easy - for Stoke that is. I think that this is the ideal draw for Arsenal. We know it's going to be tough so the players are going to be up for it. If Arsenal were drawn against QPR away the players may have dropped their guard a little.

The win against West Ham was excellent. A great game with great goals. Eduardo looks as though he is back. His goal was class. It came out of nowhere. Totally unexpected. Ramsey is turning into a very good player. He reminds me of a young Paul Scholes. Vela's cross to Eduardo was also great. His tussle with that hot-head Diamanti was a growing up experience.

Sol Campbell will not be signing for Arsenal. Vieira will join Man City and not Arsenal. So Myles Palmer you can eat horse shit. Dzecko is off to AC Milan in the summer when Arsenal will sign the Ajax full-back van der Wiel.

Stay tuned.

Keep it Arsenal
