Setanta is full of fucking prats........an organisation of stupid idiots. Take for example, this column which, for a sports-provider is embarrassing and poorly written.
Arsenal's bubble will burst
Written by Tim Sherwood
on Saturday, 01 December 2007
I keep asking questions about Arsenal like ‘When is the bubble going to burst?’ Because I don’t honestly believe that they can go through the season and win The Premier League. I think teams will suss them out, and a team with a little bit more quality, if they step into their faces like Aston Villa did in the second half, will find them out.
Villa might have deserved a draw in the end. Obviously Arsenal could have scored three or four in the first half but they are only the width of a crossbar away from drawing this game. Credit to Arsenal they have shown two sides. Wonderful flowing football in the first half and they had to dig in and grit out a result and they have done it yet again.
Martin O’Neill livened Villa up at half-time, he has obviously got into them and told them the commitment wasn’t good enough. I’m not saying they didn’t try enough in the first half, they just didn’t go about it the right way. They channelled their energy wrong. But they got onto Arsenal in the second half, got right into their faces and made tackles. We didn’t see them make tackles in the first half but second half they were all over them. I tell you what, it is an eye-opener for the rest of The Premier League, because if there is any way to beat Arsenal it is to not let them play. If you let them play against you they will beat any team in this division.
Arsenal were always in control in the first half, passing it around well. They make the pitch massive when they are on the ball, they take chances on the football because they know they will score two or three goals if teams sit off them. You always felt Arsenal were so comfortable, they never changed, never panicked and everyone was just controlled and passing the ball to each other. They were inter-changing the positions and Villa couldn’t cope with them.
Villa needed little tugs here and there, breaking up the rhythm of Arsenal’s play, because they were playing how they wanted. The only time the play was stopped in the first half was when Arsenal had a shot at Aston Villa’s goal, and that can’t happen, they have to make tackles and do niggly fouls here and there.
When you look at Arsenal’s reaction to Carew’s tackle on Hleb, it happens that you react like that with the referee, I have done it before. It happens in the heat of a game that you get over excitable, but the referees and the powers that be have got to react to it. Chelsea got punished for it, so you could probably find that Arsenal will get punished for it.

If Sherwood wasn't so blinded by his obvious anti-Arsenal bias he'd realise that it's practically impossible for any team to play as Villa did in the 2nd half against us, for the full 90 mins as many teams have found to their cost, as prior to this game nearly 50% of our goals this season were scored in the final 10 mins!
It's pretty clear where his loyalties lie, and it'll never be with a team comprised mostly of technically superior foreigners, cos he was an out and out dirty bastard in his playin days and a gobshite into the bargain, some things never change eh???
