Sport.

I think I'm going to have to revise my (previously negative) opinion of André Villas-Boas. I'm happy to eat my words when events or facts prove me wrong.

Bah. It was time Man U tasted some of their own last-minute-goal medicine.

Well, glad to see a young manager developing over time, and leading an ambitious team to new heights. I wish I could say the same about the Gooners.

I like AVB. He seems to be getting the best out of his players, most notably 'Player of the Season So Far' Lennon, we look much more organised than we did last season, & he has helped them to achieve it all with an out-of-form Adebayor & without a creative Modrić or a Van der Vaart-type player.

I get the impression that everybody has to compete for their place in the team & I'm hoping that we will see the benefits of his rotation policy later on in the season, with last season's poor finish still in memory.
