Good win for my lot.
One goal at half and come back and get three of our own.
We were missing Ronaldo through injury but Giggs came on in the second half and changed the whole complextion of the game.
Top of the table for another week unless Chelski score a boat load against Reading.
Come on READING AND WATFORD!!!!
Good luck to you, mate. I hope you'll check in from time to time today. The Gooner is Munich bound this weekend, so I may be all on my lonesome monitoring the footie from the Premiership and the Coke. Arsenal to come up at 10 and Chelski at noon. Won't you join me?
Exciting lineup for the Gunners today:
1. Jens Lehmann
20. Johan Djourou
10. William Gallas
5. Kolo Toure
31. Justin Hoyte
32. Theo Walcott
4. Francesc Fabregas
19. Gilberto Silva
7. Tomas Rosicky
25. Emmanuel Adebayor
14. Thierry Henry
Looks as if Theo's lining up as a midfielder. Could be interesting to watch.
Bloody hell, Cardiff are already up and running - one nil up away to Palace. Norwich also one up to QPR.
My Leeds boys are at home to Stoke today, in case any of you were wondering. Nah, oh well, please yourselves.
And Stoke - who were directly underneath us at the start of play - have promptly taken the lead. Bloody marvelous!
Another relegation battler Sheffield Wednesday have taken the lead, so we're now down into the drop zone.
Excellent sequence for the Arse. Theo picks out Henry, his cross is blocked out to Rosicky who hammers it, it's saved by the keeper to Adebayor who brings another great save from the Watford keeper. He will surely be a busy man this afternoon.
Thank goodness, Hull have gone behind. I can't believe I'm reduced to rooting against the likes of Hull because they're deeper in the relegation mire than we are, but you take the scraps you can.
Some really lovely stuff from Theo, who is rampant in this match. First he picks out Fabregas with a beautiful through ball; Fabregas skips past the keeper but the angle is just too wide. Then Theo is set free on the left and whips a good early ball in for Ade who just can't quite get it.
Lovely, Burnley are now two up against Hull.
You know, after the early burst, the Arse now seem determined to let Watford into this match.
Blackburn have taken the lead against 'Pool. What on earth is going on at Anfield? For one thing, I don't think they've been FSC even once this season.
QPR have leveled it against Norwich. Brum have taken the lead away to Luton.
Kanu has headed Pompey into the lead against the Hammers. That puts Pompey into third on sixteen just behind Chelski and United. Amazing work being done by 'Arry.
Ben Foster again rescues Watford after a lovely move puts Rosicky in one on one against the keeper. Point blank save by the England #3.
Luton have evened it up against Brum.
Yakubu has scored a penalty for Boro against Everton.
Goodie! Preston have doubled their lead against Keano's Sunderland, sending them closer to the drop zone with us.
Arsenal 1-0; a flukey goal. Ball in from a free kick by Fabregas and it misses the head of Adebayor and floats through to Toure who knees it in somewhat clumsily. It's not pretty but it gives them the lead against a stubborn, defensive Watford.
WBA have taken the lead away from home to Ipswich. Preston now three up at home to Sunderland. And Luton have taken the lead against Brum.
That Arsenal goal has been given as an own goal to Jordan Stewart. He'll be thrilled!
Two goals in quick succession at Portman Rd. and WBA are now 1-2 in the lead there. Where are you Blubber Boy?
Breathtaking stuff from the Arse. Walcott feeds Henry who dances through three and then just can't find the right corner with his bender.
Henry makes a mug of poor Jay Demerit and he slides the ball home for Arsenal's second. It's all over now at the Emirates.
Half time - it's been a stroll in the park for the Arse and they're all smiles as they troop off for the half-time oranges.
Nice one - Palace have equalized against Cardiff. I'd hate to see the leek-eaters run away with the Coke.
Oooh, Theo nearly scores a blinder from a narrow angle. What a prospect this kid is!
West Brom are now thumping Ipswich 1-3!
1-4 now to West Brom! Blubber Boy, Blubber Boy, can we hear you on the blog! Cannnnn we hearrrr youoo on the blog!
Preston now 4-0 up over Sunderland. Is the Keano honeymoon over? I sure hope so!
Watford really are a lesson for any Coke team that fancies a season in the Premiership. If you're just going to set out to frustrate your opponents, battle all day and lump long balls to your hapless forwards, you're gonna go straight back down again - and you'll lose fans in the process. What a shambolic side they are. Arsenal should be five or six up by now.
For a moment I'd thought that we'd equalized because our league position shifted up on. But no - it's just that Sheffield Wednesday have given up a goal and have dropped underneath us again. And the bitter irony is that we've conceded a second goal to Stoke.
Oh bugger! We're three nil down to Stoke at home! Unbelievable! This is as low as I've ever felt as a Leeds fan in following the side for thirty four years.
Craig Bellamy has finally scored his first goal for Liverpool who equalize against Blackburn.
And Arsenal have scored their third - Henry unselfishly feeding Adebayor.
Really, if you try to play a high back four against the likes of Henry and Adebayor you're asking for a hiding and that's what Watford are getting here.
Three goals in three minutes and Leicester are now beating Soton 3-2.
The Premiership table is looking ominously similar after today's results with ManYoo tops, Chelski second and still to play today and Arsenal slipping into fourth. Only Liverpool at mid-table are bucking the trend of big clubs on top. The surprises of the season are still Pompey and Villa.
It's total football time now for the Arse - Gallas and Toure regularly joining the attack knowing that Watford hasn't a hope. And as if it couldn't get any worse, Rosicky makes way for Robin Van Persie.
Dion Dublin has headed home for Norwich to make it 2-2 with QPR. And I'm amazed to see that Dublin is still playing!
Mark Viduka has scored a second for Boro against Everton.
Disaster for Villa and Juan Pablo Angel! First he misses a penalty and then he scores through his own goal! Spurs are one up and they could really use the three points.
More injury woes for Arsenal who lost Eboue and Ljungberg in midweek. They now see Hleb hobble off after a nasty challenge.
Tim Cahill has pulled one back for Everton. He's having an excellent season.
Gareth Barry has equalized for Villa with a blistering shot.
Cardiff have almost certainly won it against Palace with a late goal from Scimeca.
More misery for the Elland Road faithful. We're now 4-0 down at home to bloody Stoke City! I can only imagine the atmosphere in the ground after the match today. Surely this will put a fire under Captain Birdseye to appoint a new manager soon.
It's all over at the Emirates - 3-0 Arse. Chelski coming up in about fifteen minutes. I'm hitting the showers like the players and will be back in a few.
I am home.
Jon's team won about 10 nil... I lost count. He scored two.Matt's team won and Matt scored SIX
Some whacko scores in the COKE
Some real hammerings!!!
Sorry about your lot Bob, when is the new manager coming and who will it be
Within in the first minute Peter Cech hit in the head. Game is stopped for five minutes. He goes off on a stretcher.
He is conscious but off.

It's been a scrappy match between Chelski and Reading so far. The scrappiest of goals by Lamps - a pinball effort off the leg of a defender into the net past Hahnemann.
In the second half it's starting to go off. Mikel has gone off in his Prem debut for Chelski. Joe Cole has come on only to be fouled by Sidwell.
Thanks for the condolences, Dave. Appreciate it.
Sounds as if the kiddos are a chip off the Nocito block.
Incredible scenes here at the Madjeski. Cudocini has been absolutely clattered in a corner and has been stretchered off. Chelski have already used their subs, so John Terry has gone in goal wearing the kit of third string keeper Hilario! Hilarious, more like it. Still, Reading looking for an equalizer.
Not quite the preparation that Chelski would've wanted for their game against Barca in midweek. They're already missing Cashley, Bollocks, and now two keeper. Hilario will have to play in goal against Barca, unless Terry proves his cat-like ability today, that is!
We're in the 100th minute now and they already played 50 minutes in the first half. I can't remember a longer Premiership match. One for the history books, probably.
A bench clearing moment there. It's going off now!
Chelski's fitness coach has been red-carded now! So that's two goalies off injured, one player from each side sent off and a fitness coach red carded. Wow!
It's all over now - Chelski are on 16 points, just behind ManYoo on goals.
