Three days later and still Martin O'Neill's insecurities are on view for everyone to see.

Villa are a quick young side with some power, but if O'Neill thinks he has an English version of Barcelona on his hands and that Villa are a pure footballing side, then he is the "ridiculous" one....

From here on out, every draw will have us considering one of football's most philosophical questions: Was it two points lost, or a point gained?

I would not be satisfied in the least with a season in which we finished fourth in the league, but won the Carling Cup, or even the FA Cup.

Had Senderos not bullied his way to a loan move to Milan, where he played infrequently and with no distinction, he would have been the one to step into Kolo Toure's spot.

Would anyone have felt bad for Arsenal if James Vaughn had put Everton up 3-1 last week? HELL NO! In fact, no one even mentioned it.

Should we emerge at the end of the gauntlet not only alive and breathing but stronger than when we went in, the league will be ours for the taking.

Both the players and the supporters have come too far and been through too much disappointment in the last few years to just walk away because of one defeat or even a double-digit deficit. That is not...

What kind of kit would you like to see Arsenal wear for the club's 125th anniversary in 2011?

If the Boss is convinced by the numbers and watching him in training that he can do a job for us if called upon, then I don't see who I am to disagree.
