@Maich, I'll be waiting for it...

@mwenza, count yourself lucky you have broken ribs. Arsenal fans usually have heart attacks! How they survive them,I dont know. But maybe Arsenal have a group medical cover for all their fans.

Ahsante bwana mwenza....i'm now back!!!!

To matters football, We are in for a sumptuous treat of EPL football having 8 matchdays for the next 11 days after christmas! Barring postponment, this period can test the depth of a team.

I just hope this weekend will present an awesome Boxing Day gift on Sunday. I hope we beat Sunderland at home. Apparently Sunderland has lost fewer games than the top six teams, bar United. Hence they provide a formidable opponent. But we are raking in points now, even without our form, so this should be a win. We do so, we go 5 points clear of Arsenal and 6 clear of Chelsea. (whoever said those draws we got early in the season did not matter...clearly).

Man City away to Newcastle should be an interesting game. possibility of a second successive loss for City, taking them further away from the summit.

Arsenal vs Chelsea on Monday should be a draw. Arsenal are usually no match for chelsea, but with the blues firing blanks and their defence creaky, and arsenal's defence the most leaky of the top four, no winner in this context.

Dec 28th could see Shitty pick up points against Aston Villa, who are a shadow of their past. Birmingham vs United, again tricky, but 3 points to United all the same. Chelsea should get its 2nd win in 9 games against Bolton, whereas Arsenal should win as well.

Na tufunge mwaka having United tops, and the rest grappling for second place.

Then New Year's day, United meets Arsenal's conquerors in West Brom...

Total Football!

@Just Blazing...good one! happiness maybe, success has been elusive. I concur that I admire @Taz resolve in matters Arsenal. Still one of the great teams, I just wonder why you ManUgu fans never go at Liverpool with the same vigor, na vile wako down saa hii!! ManShitty na Chelsea, at least najua, mnaogopa...

Actualy, tomorrows games will be very interesting,....Sunderland is not a push over so ManU fanatics should be braced for a shock!A draw is very likely tomorrow,but it could be worse!! I know they will hang me alive if they get me but its true with the sunderland form.Manshitty could also drop points.....Gunners and Chelsea match will may be a very boring one since cheski will attempt to park the bus.It could go either way....but i can predict 2-1 for Arsenal or maybe a draw.

I don't expect a carling cup side to trouble chelsea.

Being an Arsenal fan is not easy.What with the resilience exhibited thro the trophyless period that is just about to be over.I doubt the top contributors from Man U can really stick with their team for a similar period, and endure such bashing and stay defiant with "their" team.I know some current Chelski fans who jumped ship from Man during Mourinho's reign.

A tactical retreat during lean times cannot be said to be wavering.What reaaly keeps Arsenal fans together is the Arsene way of playing the beautiful game. I'd rather watch a losing Barca game than a winning Stoke game.
