Premier League Nonsense

Once again we are subject to a gnashing of teeth as the media, fuelled by inane callers to inane phone in shows and anonymous posters on anonymous message boards decide to attack the Arsenal one more time.

Not for Eduardo 'diving' this time. No, this time William Gallas is deemed the offender for his tackle on Bolton's Davies. The player lay on the ground, the ref, who usually has the final say on these things, waves play on and Arsenal scored.

First rule of football Bolton. Play to the fucking whistle.

Bolton! It just seems so sweet that Bolton Wanderes are complaining about what they percieve to be a bad challenge. The Angels of the north west who have given the world Kevin Davies. Mr Elbow himself.

The challenge was nothing. Nothing worse than you see in most games but Owen Coyle, perhaps sensing a bandwagon to jump on, isn't letting it rest. He's calling it assault! Say the man who picks Kevin Davies.

You can't blame the Wanderers fans for clutching at the slimmest of straws. They haven't seen football up there since Frank Worthington over 30 years ago. Now they just see aerial ping pong and hope for some high challenges to get their jollies.

Bolton lost a two goal lead. That is the nuts and bolts of Wednesday night. Coyle is just hoping to keep the headlines going to take attention off his side who lost a two goal lead. Fine. That's his job. There is no need for the media to dance to his tune.

What about when Denilson got clobbered against Everton the other week. Didn't hear Wenger whining too much then.

But hey...same old Arsenal, always cheating.
