In a season that has served up intense game after intense game, we got another last night as our Arsenal boys powered home from a goal down to beat Everton 2-1 at The Emirates. That the victory came after such an appalling decision from the referees to allow Louis Saha’s goal — the striker was [...]
On Friday I remarked that this could be a weekend of opportunity and it proved to be true as Manchester United dropped points, Chelsea were thumped by Sunderland and — crucially — our boys beat Everton at Goodison Park.
