Hammer Time in the premier league

I'll keep this brief. Today Arsenal needed to put in a solid performance against bottom of the league Hammers

and take away three points.Arsenal did. Nuff said.

The other issues from today that are of concern are the way Avram Grant was treated by the board at WHUFC and the fact that Man City, on the back of a cash injection, sit atop the league at close of play. These two things almost crystallise modern football in the UK.

For Arsenal; job done, three points, next game...
