There was quite some discussion about Saha's offside goal after the match. Koscielny tried to control the ball before it reached Saha, ostensibly putting him onside..that's how the official looked at it. Had the ball hit Koscielny by mistake and gotten to Saha, they reckoned he'd have blown the whistle.

The other school of thought is that the official should have blown the whistle immediately the ball was played in, even before Koscielny tried to control it. Most guys belong to the second school, including Wenger, Moyes and me. But the scoreline wound up the debate though they should come out clearly.

As for the Man Utd game, it's only Friedel who prevented Rooney from scoring a hat trick. Teams should be afraid to see him regaining his goal scoring form.

hey winston, carrol has a thigh injury n' weeks away frm return!!!!!

@wendz...chelsea won....but they had to raise their game in H2!

This second half of the season, with 14 games or so remaining, will be a true test to United's assault in RECLAIMING ITS TROPHY. With the purchases made by the Pensioners and the Reds, only time will tell if the WILL is there. 14 games only Sir Fergie, take it one by one. Dismantle these teams, lay them bare and walk into Number 19.

Arsenal are being entertained by Andy Caroll-less Newcastle. Arsenal vs Fulham is a London Derby but Arsenal's derby is usually the North London Derby with Spurs, whereas Fulham's is the West London Derby with Chelsea. Chelsea is actually situated in Fulham area of London.
