God I hate Allardyce with a passion, the miserable c**t. So when his dour football scabbed a lead, I almost fear the worst.

Fortunately Arsenal switched up a gear, and the return of Podolski tore West Ham to pieces like the shit team they are under Lardarse Sam.

Losing Ramsey could have been a blow but Santi looks so much more comfortable and commanding in the middle of the park, so shouldn't be a loss I think.

All in all a good three points.

Back top, and now to watch the teams behind us again.

Looking forward to this one. Pellegrini has gone 4-5-1 to try and strangle Suarez out of the game. Hopefully in doing that, they'll forget to score.

Merry Xmas.

Off to Thailand now, so will be off air for a couple of weeks so Happy New Year everyone!

Get in there Arsenal. Hard fought win against an in-form team. Top of the pile for the rest of the year anyway

Very good win but i can't understand why you reduced yourselves to ten men by playing super Nick

Well it worked

I thought that was a battling performance yesterday, previous years an Arsenal and many other teams this year would have dropped points.

Happy New Year for all

Damn might have to play with no striker today (I.e. Bendtner up front). Happy New Year everybody!

Wouldn't have thought you'd need a striker for this fixture!

Supersub Bendtner I apologise and salute you.

No good deed goes unpunished. Bendtner out for a while.

Looking forward to a good game tonight .

can only see this going one way unless there's an early goal.

no strikers up front and Sherwood playing ten men behind the ball will the sweeper/keeper cleaning up at the back as the Arsenal try to pick the lock.

That was too easy. They're going to suss Agent Sherwood out if he's not careful

Maybe Soldaduddo should go to Arsenal on loan, we need a token striker for FA Cup ties until Bendtner is fit.

Perhaps Wenger is putting him in the shop window.

Theo Walcott out for the rest of the season and the world cup.

Ruptured his anterior knee ligament against Spurs.

Lucky that England still have Townsend and Lennon to choose from.

We have replacements for the wing but a striker is now essential. Irresistible bid for Costa please.

He's got to be upset at missing three England matches as well.

Hey ho, another 3 points, another two injuries, and back to the top.

Coasted really in the second half, should have put it to bed in the first.

You were crap last half hour....Villa should have got a point out of it.

Don't be silly Smokie.

Villa got what they deserved, which was nothing.

Now if Puncheon could take a penalty....

Great results over the weekend, with all those favourites winning plus Real Madrid, I pocketed 650 quid.
