Well we are through to the 4th round of the FA Cup after a fairly good 3-1 win against Plymouth today at The Emirates. RVP was captain for the day and he justified the manager's faith in him by scoring a brace. The other goal came by way of an own goal and we did seem to dominate proceedings whilst Plymouth carved out a few chances for themselves.

I intended to preview the game yesterday but I could not get on to my profile and therefore it was impossible. The manager had said that Fabianski will be our FA Cup manager this season and he played a fairly strong team as he is treating the competition seriously. To be honest I have said since August that we need to treat the FA Cup with respect as it is our best chance of a trophy. The manager obviously agree. Ramsey got a chance to start again and so did Bendtner. Clichy was rested and Silvestre came in for him. He had to go off after 30 minutes and Gibbs came in and played well enough. By all accounts Nasri & RVP were our best performersand we need them to perform like that on a consistent basis.

In transfer news David Moyes has said that Arteta is going nowhere but I still think a large bid might persuade Everton to sell. The boss said he has not made a bid for Arteta and he won't be buying Given. He also said there is no progress with Arshavin and I'm not quite sure what he meant by that. Time will tell. He also said he hasn't spoken to Madrid and that he is going nowhere. He also said that we are in a healthy financial position and he won't jeporadise that by going mad in the transfer market. He does intend bringing players in but it will be money wisely spent more or less I would imagine or so he thinks anyway. I'll leave it at that as I have a big poker game in a friend's house tonight and it's going to be a late one I'm sure.

Here's a clip of our latest captain showing his skills in another sport.
