Respect from Rooney and reluctance from Riley
Some things never change, despite all the media chatter about a new level of 'respect' that is to be shown by players towards officials; Wayne Rooney was back to his best at Old Trafford today, demonstrating just why the despicable chav is about as admired as a piece of globular green sputum outside of Manchester United supporting circles.
Rooney had no right to abuse Riley, as the gaunt and

The season has just started, which means that I, no matter how sad it may seem, suddenly have a purpose in life again.

Nasri shines in the August sunshine
Arsenal 1-0 WBA
The sun was out, there were a couple of chilled beers sitting in my stomach and I must confess, it was glorious to be back watching football at the Grove.
It’s funny though, because every Arsenal fan I spoke to or overheard before the game was cautious in the extreme. “We might be able [...]

Empty seats, Gallas's rant, Ade's boos and goodbye to a true Gooner.
A few topics.Firstly, the empty seats at the Grove. It's a mockery that the club continue to claim that these matches are 'sell-outs' when any idiot can look up and see that shedloads of the seats in the stadium remain empty. The problem is, as many have already stated, that these seats are sold seats that haven't been occupied. The majority are season ticket holders who, for one reason or another, haven't turned up. Given that we're still in August and a lot of people are still on their hols...

Lone Goal Unsettles Arsenal
The old adage is that an early goal settles the nerves, but only if it is followed up by a quick second. It was Roy of the Rovers, or rather Sami of the Rovers after only 3 minutes 44 seconds. It was the dream debut, turning up like Pires in the penalty box, and simply tapping the ball in unlike Hleb.

Arsenal v W.B.A - Player Ratings
By Atishay AgarwalIt was like watching last season all over again. We took the lead against a lesser side, dominated possession and passed the ball around with ease all day, but failed to kill them off. In fact, we wasted so many dangerous positions and some glorious chances, and on occasions our attackers looked bereft of ideas in the final third. It’s the first game of the season, though, and what was most important was to get all three points. Here are the ratings:Almunia - 6 – He was larg...

Tasty goal by Nasri on his debut
Very low-key first day back at the Emirates.
Lovely goal after three minutes, good buzz for ten minutes. But the second goal didn't come and., incredibly, West Brom keeper Scott Carson didn't make his first save of the second half until the 83rd minute. That was from a header by Robin van Persie , who came on as a sub
The goal was very tasty, a sweet move down the left, a good run to the near post by Samir Nasri, who sidefooted deftly past Carson and into the far corner of the goal. Nasri is ...
