In all the debate about the new offside law, most commentators have missed the small print that says "Ruud van Nistelrooy and Thierry Henry are mostly exempt from this law especially when playing at home"...

There's another good reason that Arsenal are unbeaten in the premiership this season, it's not just the quality of their squad, it's the number of players they have on the pitch, sure the three dressed in black have mediocre ball skills, but they're playing a vital part in Arsenal's success. I'd love to see stats on how many penalties Arsenal (and also ManUre) have conceded at home this season, it's probably none.

Do I sound bitter? Yes, well I am rather. The last thing the premiership needs is to descend to a level where the refereeing is so poor and weak that a home side or "big-club" automatically has a significant advantage before a ball is kicked.
