And only one team have beaten them there this season...
Though they are probably attempting to be more offensive against norwich...
Park Lane James
Andy Sinton
They're a bit like a brick Man United in that respect.

Gooners will nick it so our hope is Everton to hold on.

Nah sunderland are turning up the pressure. They are going to score soon
Despised Stoke for a few years now.
Hate their fans, appealing for everything, hate their "style" of play, hate the way the try and steal the slow version of Oh When....
Just would like to see them go down. This year made it worse, even though that was Foys fault.

Holt is good isn't he? him and Graham have been impressive in this league.
Mumorn
Vic Buckingham
so has Morison.
amazing that people in the lower leagues can come and impress in the supposed best league in the world!!
Grant Holt: Has committed more fouls (57) than any other player in the Premier League this season.
Lots of fight and effort, but I think he's more suited to the Championship.

Bah. The "tackle from behind" rule is being totally misapplied nowadays.
The rule was introduced - rightly - as a direct result of Italia '90. What would happen in those days was players would tackle opponents directly from behind, catching them around the achilles or lower calf, which by definition meant they had no chance of getting the ball. This type of foul became a poison in the game because it allowed a defender to easily break up the attacking team's play - for example, it was effective against any attacker who was trying to hold up the ball during a counter attack. It happened a dozen times a game and was so negative and ruined so many games in that WC that it left the authorities with no option but to change the rule.
The rule was never meant to cover every tackle that originated from "behind" an opponant, only those tackles that went through the back of the player's legs with zero chance of getting the ball. Running alongside, but just behind the player, and tackling from there you can get the ball and is not what the rule was introduced to police. The rule has drifted and drifted and is now nonsense as routinely applied. Note that it has been successful in stopping the blatant fouls described in para 2 above.
