Not in the same league as Beckham's, that was just sheer brilliance.

in the same vein it aint as good as mickey walsh blackpool 1975
Arsenal norwich today was a stormer.
Got a bit nasty near the end, but Norwich were very good and deserved something. If both teams brought their shooting boots, it could have been 10-10.

I'll watch the highlights later, looks like a very good attacking game. Sagna broke his leg which rules him out of Euro 2012.
Strange one; he brought his leg up to control a ball in the air, and then just collapsed. Nobody around him. Feel for the guy, he's a great full back, and to break a leg twice in one season is just awful luck.
My thoughts on the game...
Benayoun's goal was prety special. Nicely taken.
Arsenal started well but then Norwich came back well. Dearie me, awful error from Sir Chesney, fully deserved equaliser for Norwich. They're really playing some good football here. Second goal was deflected but it's not undeserved, they've played very well. Wenger throwing his bottle down is always amusing. Poor Sagna. I thoguht Norwich may have had a penalty, it was clumsy from Cocquelin. The tug down on Martin too, Arsenal have got away with them. The second one is stonewall.
It's 2-1 at half time and that flatters Arsenal. Norwich looked far better, should have had at least one penalty, and had other chances. Arsenal have created too, but have looked all over the place.
Ramsey's very fortunate not to be off, that tackle's worthy of a second yellow. A less lenient referee sends him off.
Norwich should be 4-1 up, Arsenal looked ragged.
Ramsey's awful, he really is.
Arsenal would be in a far worse place without Van Persie. Just as well he's stayed fit this season really.
That's a penalty for Arsenal to be fair, it's definitely handball.
Van Persie again, what a man.
Superb finish from Morison.
3-3's about fair, Arsenal showed a lot attacking wise but so did Norwich, a superb display from them.
What an incentive for Newcastle and Spurs tomorrow, Arsenal could be fifth by tomorrow. It is no longer in their hands, but there's a bit of work to do from all sides.
But a very entertaining game to watch.

Arsenal slipping up, oh dear!
Well, 2-0 win for City, and that would appear to be that because i really don't see QPR getting anything next week. We may as well beat Swansea and Sunderland to at least finish level on points, but only huge scorelines would win us the Title (such as 11-0 today)
yaya is a beast. 
I can forsee a last-gasp twist next week.
spurs could only draw against villa. so we just have to beat West Brom and we finish third. For some reason I don't imagine we'll make it quite that simple.
It's okay, West Brom are safe and aren't really playing for anything, Arsenal always beat those teams.
Oh.
Spurs *should* beat Fulham at home next week, but they have been known to not win games like that.
1-0 to us, Scholes diverted a Carrick shot in. Deserved lead.

A 2-0 win in the end. Young got the second. Comfortable enough if not good enough to win the Title because I wouldn't expect QPR to get anything next week (which could present another problem because Bolton might stay up). But if we can finish level on points, that's not such a bad runner up.
I forgot to mention the statue which was unveiled prior to kick off in the Newcastle-Man City game of Sir Bobby Robson. A fitting tribute to the great man.
i loved bobby,a football man and a gent...truly deserved
Looks like he's got some swagger about him.
Guttered Aston Villa can't be relegated, well they can be UNLIKELY, as the thought of them dropping a division is funny.

I would put 20 pound on qpr drawing with city
Can't say too much about the United game as I didn't see it all, had to leave at half time, BUGGER! I'm pleased we kept it at 2-0 but from what I saw we never looked to be making much of a threat on goal, which is usually the case for us. Always something to work on, though.
Next weekend will be an amazing weekend of football... and I'm missing it all. FUCKKKKK.
