Arsenal 2-2 MANCHESTER UNITED

You know you're not getting the rub when you score early then have a player sent off all within the first 4 minutes. Arsenal quickly responded and we found ourselves playing with a back 3 for the rest of the half. We equalised on half time after Arsenals 'keeper went off, and then on the extra man was evident for the gunners, who had more of the game. Given we played a man light, we're satisfied with the outcome. We can bemoan no holding the lead, or Nacho not keeping his cool but things happen. It leaves us light for Monday but we'll put a team out there to try and get a result.

We're still on an unbeaten run but we do need to get more wins on the board, and the front two to start firing for sure.

Liverpool 1 - 1 Cardiff City

Cardiff City, under the leadership of Manager Matt Rose, secured a hard-fought 1-1 draw against Liverpool at Anfield. Despite being on the back foot for much of the match, Cardiff showed resilience and determination, especially in the dying minutes of the game.

Liverpool took the lead in the 25th minute through M_Rashford, leaving Cardiff with an uphill battle. However, Cardiff's defence, led by J_Justin, held firm, and R_Allsop made several crucial saves to keep the visitors in the game.

As the match entered injury time, Cardiff’s persistence paid off. Substitute T_Lemar found the back of the net in the 94th minute, delivering a stunning equaliser that silenced the Anfield crowd. Rose praised his team's spirit, particularly their ability to stay focused and capitalise on a late opportunity. This result will boost Cardiff's confidence as they continue their campaign.

Arsenal 2 - 2 Man Utd

I think both sides can look back at this one and be happy to walk away with a point in all honesty. Us for losing our keeper for the majority of the game and United for playing most of it with ten men. Pleased that we still went on to create some good chances and led twice and also that with an 18 in goal we didn't concede a shed load so although we had more chances on goal, a bit gutted that we couldn't score more than we did but also that we didn't lose an important game.

Some changes ahead of the next game with Olise and Diaz in the roster, two big signings for the club which we fought hard to get done so a big boost going forward.

Played Steve.

Chelsea 4 - 0 Tottenham Hotspur

A London derby win for Chelsea as we catch the Spuds with their pants down. The North Londoners turned up with their naughty N expecting us to play our attacking brand of football but that wasn't the case as we caught them off guard with an attacking-C with a 3 man defence. Firmino got his 2nd goal for the club on 7 minutes before Dalot made it 2, on 42... The 2nd half we reverted to the usual attacking ways and added two more goals from Sanches and young 19 year old Zefi scored his first professional goal on 77 minutes coming off the bench. 18 - 5 on shots indicate this was a deserved win for our first London derby scalp. The Spice Boys have also quietly moved up in the Champions League spots and sit just 1 point behind 3rd place.

Liverpool 1 Cardiff 1

We went into the game with our back up keeper between the sticks so set up to try and limit their opportunities which we did. It really was as dominant a performance as we could have hoped for but yet again we squandered chance after chance and almost inevitably Cardiff popped up with a 94th minute equaliser which they really didn't deserve. Again though we pay the price for our poor finishing so we can't blame anyone but ourselves. It really is costing us so many points.

Probably not a sensible move by us but Guirassy will be departing next week so our attacking ability is actually going to worsen. Hopefully it will have the reverse effect.

Pants very much pulled down by Chelsea - as Steve said we very much expected A, especially as he span the notion of a hastily prepared sheet - nice DA work - so N was the option that would have given us the best chance of getting something. C was not something i expected so fair play, we were taken apart. IRL Chelsea beat Spurs 4-1 to end Ange's unbeaten start and we got 2 reds, and Micky Van de Ven out injured, and very much the end of the title challenge!! Let's see how FFO plays out..... gg Steve

[Tony@Blackburn]

Leeds 1-1 Blackburn

drawing away with the inform Leeds is no result to be upset with! Tim has been on fire this season so to come here and match them is very pleasing! Disappointed to drop points from a winning position again but looking at the stats I wouldn’t suggest a draw was unfair.

well done Tim and good luck with the title push!
