        ha not even close. Silva has taken a beating and had an ankle problem for the last 2 months. RVP had a huge chance against Aston Villa he missed and a huge one saved today by Kenny. Could easily have 2 in 2.

    All in all-a shocker so far.

    I knew Arsenal would flop-all the talk of them being unbeaten in the last seven was only setting them up for a fall.

    Once again I find myself having to rely on Utd to bail me out of the gameweek.

    On a positive note-the main man Fernando scored so the race for 3rd is well and truly on!
