Arsenal are consistently good at at least one thing. Beating Middlesborough. How unfortunate then, that in the month of January, Boro will face their bogey team no fewer than four times. Yes, that's right. Four times in one month.
10 Jan: Arsenal v Boro (Premiership)
20 Jan: Arsenal v Boro (Carling Cup)
24/25 Jan: Arsenal v Boro (FA Cup)
28 Jan: Boro v Arsenal (Carling Cup)
I predict Arsenal's unbeaten domestic run to continue at least another four games. Sorry Steve...

Heh funny that but we ain't a on man team... pires is getting better and better, vieira is getting back on form and ljungberg is improving.
Also haven't you noticed we need a good defence aswell?

Well, if they can stop Thierry Henry, in theory, they can stop Arsénal, too.
This was proven in the Champions' League, earlier in the season. Teams would be set-out to take Henry out of the game, and were then able to add to "Le Gooners'" crap start to the tournament.
However, they just seemed to `stop´ after that, and so, Arsénal managed to scrape-through into the knockout stages... :P
They let Henry loose, and he did all the damage!
But, what we haven't really seen is this happening in the Premiership.
I thought Alan Smith did a very good job against him the other Sunday, despite Leeds' heavy loss. But for the first 45-minutes at least, Thierry Henry was shadowed in almost every-corner by the blonde-haired hot-head.
But why can't other teams try this??
I bet even Middlesbrough would stand a greater chance of beating them in any-one of their reamaining meetings this month, if they can just lose a one-defender and one-midfielder to help removed Henry, as a team.

Arsenal have scored 8 goals against Middlesborough and we still have over half the games to go...
ooh er
ooh er
heh, arsenal top on alphabetical order.
Well, thats a great start by the 'Boro, 'Only' losing 4-1 in their first of 4 meetings against Arsenal - the same scoreline by which the 'boro lost at the riverside earlier this season.
Great strategy Macca and goodluck in your remaining 3 fixtures against the gunners (you'll need it)

No that wasn't how it happened. I still had faith in my team at 1-0. I said, "okay if it gets to 4-0 i'm leaving." But you didnt allow it. Forssell got the goal of the game anyway, so i got to see that!
Funny you didn't mention the other 2 times we played you. Aggregate score; 8-0 was it?
It wasn't 3 in a week. The WC semi was like a month before and then it was 2 in a week. Both 4-0. Jimmy got the perfect hat-trick in the second match: one left-foot curler, one-right foot curler and a header.
