North London Derby Spells Victory!!

I wake up, get my coffee and get the Gamecast on and its 0-0 at Emirates with a first half that, according to the announcers was dull as dishwater. Then, Boom. Adebayor scores. Spurs turn rabid and start attacking in waves, while the Arsenal defence naps or some such thing. Berbatov scores. Keane hits the post. Almunia saves a penalty. Bendtner comes on in the 75th and scores before he can even break a sweat. That's a first league goal for the big Dane. Every time this kid gets on the field he makes me like him even more. A sweet 2-1 victory over the Spuds. More match reporting here.

Now, that's a header!

The only downside of the game is that apparently Arsenal did not play in very good form, if you believe the matchcasters. That would make a period of a couple of weeks that Arsenal has been off the trot. It's good news that they're continuing to win (mostly, there was the loss at Middlesbrough) while limping a bit. However, the league will not continue to tolerate a table-topper that's not playing top form.
