“Charlton v. Arsenal; Monday April 1; 10am ET
Arsenal: 3rd (66 points)
Charlton: 9th (41 points)
TV: none
Radio: arsenal.com
Here?s the Kentucky Gunner with a look at Charlton:
No rest for us or the wicked as we jump headlong into another crucial fixture. The wicked, in this case, are Charlton. After having defeated us in November 2001 at Highbury, we need all 3 points from this fixture. That defeat can almost be explained by that unexplainable November curse that Arsenal suffers from year in and year out, or really bad goalkeeping. Charlton scored 4 goals on 5 attempts...

“Arsenal 3, Sunderland 0
by Kali Korbis
Arsenal’s title challenge showed no signs of slowing down after Robert Pires’ injury, as the Gunners defeated Sunderland 3-0 on Saturday. Patrick Vieira, Dennis Bergkamp, and Sylvain Wiltord all scored in the first half to keep the Gunners’ title hopes on course.
Just as in last week’s win over Newcastle, Arsenal started the match off with a quick goal. This time, Wiltord’s mis-hit cross found Patrick Vieira by way of Sunderland’s Paul Thirlwell, and the Frenchman slipped the ball past Thomas...

“Look out everybody, the sky is falling! That?s the impression I got this week as I followed the world football news. KirchMedia, the company thought bought the TV rights to the 2002 and 2006 World Cups for $673 Bajillion dollars is going belly up. So is ITV Digital, which figured, quite incorrectly it turns out, that everybody in town wanted to watch Grimsby play Stockport.
So apparently that?s it. Let?s pack up shop boys because football is over. Dire predictions that upwards of 30 teams will go under now because of the ITV Digital fiasco. Time to start learning the rules of...

Chief scout and all-around good guy Ken Bradley previews our opponents:
Something happened in North England prior to December 29 2001, and it has changed the season for the Black Cats. What that something was is anyone?s guess but it quickly showed itself in a 5-0 thrashing to Ipswich Town. Since than the Cats are 2-3-8 and have dropped to 15th in the table, only 3 points from relegation. Their drive is slipping away and an “”unhappy...

“Three cheers to our captain, Tony Adams. Here?s a guy with nothing left to prove. His place in Arsenal history is secure. Terrible, morale-killing injuries this season and he had every right to say, ?That?s enough, I?m through.? But instead he continued to rehab and work his way back. Just as the team is reeling ? FA Cup draw, two Champs League losses ? Big Tone comes back to inspire us to a 3-nil defeat of Newcastle.
The Urban Legend that inspired this feature:
Every sailing ship had to have a cannon for protection. Cannons of the time required round, iron cannonballs....

“New stadium, new crest, new kit? Sure, why the heck not! Many of you have sent us notes on this the last couple of days, and we were waiting for something a bit more official. Next time will go with our members. Here’s link to a story about what type of replica will be available to fans and when we can get our grubby little paws on them as well as a picture. No sponsor logo shown so it’s tough to know what it wil eventually look like, but it has a rather old school, traditional look to it.

“Manchester United, the world?s biggest club. Don?t tell that to Middlesborough who beat them for the second time in less than two months this past weekend. The first came in the FA Cup Cup at the end of January. Just to give it some perspective, ?Boro are looking UP at Tottenham, so you know they must be pretty far down the table. Of course, we?ve also beaten Man United twice this year (Worthington Cup and EPL), let?s see if we can make it three.”

“That’s life, I’m not going to cry about it was the essence of what Robert Pires had to say, in response to the news that his injury will keep him out of football for anything up to a year.
That it was sustained in an innocuous challenge, the game long since won, will be galling to the Frenchman but his level headed philosophical response to what is a devastating blow to himself, his club and his country speaks as loudly as his performances this season.
13 goals and a Premiership record in assists are the stats, but for anyone still in any doubt as to his importance look...
