Having watched the yids being beaten by Portsmouth on Sunday,I did not believe that they could beat the mighty Arsenal. Their truly wonderful performance reminded me of the other lesser lights in the Premiership who pack all eleven players into their own penalty area for almost the entire match. Having seen the unbridled joy on the faces of the players and the supporters, one could have mistakenly thought that they had actually won something of signifigance. Of course they were delirious because nobody gave them a chance of victory. They have proved to themselves that they have the ability to finish in the top seven this season. After their recent brushes with relegation, they have moved forward in an ominous fashion. I am becoming very worried that the gap between Arsenal and the yids is narrowing so rapidly that it may have disappeared completely within the next twenty or thirty years !!
