The snow is once again playing and wrecking havoc with the matches set for Saturday. As of 2 pm on Friday here in LaLa land, LA only three matches have survived the bad-butted snow days in merry Old England.

The survivors are Arsenal-Everton, Man U –Birmingham, and Wigan-Aston Villa. Four out of the top eight will have epic encounters in the snow.
So, we better hold our horses and see if this situation might change. God only knows and he isn’t telling us quite yet.
Arsenal, Man U, Aston Villa, and Birmingham all need to win. It is all about the “W”.
Sadly, for some, only one winner can come out of the Birmingham- Red Devils clash.
Blues are playing in the friendly confines of St. Andrews. This is huge for the mighty men of Old Trafford. Man U is playing horrible on the road. Man U is only 6-0-4 on the road. This stinks.
Birmingham is 5-3-2. This is good but not great. The edge has to go to Blues. Man U can’t win on the road to save its life. The Red Devils will need more than Rooney on this snowy day. Berbatov has to come up big. Nani, Anderson, and Gibson need to find the back of the net early and often. If not this will be a long cold hard day playing in the snow for Man U.
A loss here and you might have to stick a fork in the Red Devils season.
Blues are riding a five match unbeaten string.
Watch out Man U for you are surely in danger.
Arsenal on the other hand is peaking at the right time. Yes, the Gunners are hurting up front and in the midfield but Eduardo, Arshavin, Nasri, and Aaron Ramsey are coming on strong.
The Gunners need to knockout the Toffees early. You can’t let Everton hang around. Remember this is the same squad that beat Chelsea in the Carling Cup. The Blues played pretty much their first team.
The Toffees drove em nuts.
Everton is riding a five match unbeaten string.
Tim Howard anchors the “D.” Louis Saha leads the team with ten goals.
This should be a good one at Emirates but Arsenal should win this baby hands down.
Aston Villa battles Wigan in the other snow day match. Villa is coming off a hard loss at the hands of Liverpool. Villa needs this baby bad. Aston Villa is in sixth place. Aston Villa is ten points behind league leaders Chelsea.
The Latics can win this baby if they play their cards right.
Aston Villa is at DW Stadium. Villa is one step above stink on the road. They are 4-3-3.
The dog Wigan has the edge eventhough they are near the bottom of the table.
Keep this in mind for the bottom dogs have given the upper echelon teams fits all season long.
This could happen again.
This is as plain and simple as it get.
Hold serve on the road and win 90% of your home matches and you are in like Flynn.
So there, ya have it on a snow day in merry old England.
Here in LA it is a cold 75.
You gotta love it. I sure do.

Thank’s for that.
Rosicky!!!! Oh yes.
So, if we win our game in hand, we’re 3 points behind. Chelsea will drop more points.
The fact is, wether we won or drew will not affect the outcome of the EPL table, because i believe the winning margin won’t be just a matter of points.
We will either run away with it from here with a strong run against Man U avilla liverpool and Chelsea.
Or we will fade away in February.
The latter is less likely as players return to fitness and confidence. This game felt like a win
….The Arsenal….
Incredible end to a gr8 match.
THE ARSENAL!!!!
ohHHHHHHHH yeah
