Another 'must-win' match for Arsenal on Sunday against leaders Liverpool.
How many times have Gooners heard that this season? I suppose that comes with the territory when you're as inconsistent as Arsenal have been so far this season, but isn't it getting a bit tedious now?
'Make-or-break', 'must-win!' I would suggest it's more a 'must-not-lose' match. A draw wouldn't be the worst result in the world and would not necessarily end the Gunners title challenge.
We're only 17 games into the season, and with the Big Four dropping points on a surprisingly consistent basis, anything can happen.
A win would put Wenger's boys back in the frame, and with a positive result against Villa on Boxing Day, Arsenal have a run of winnable fixtures, on paper, against Pompey (H), Bolton (H), Hull (A), Everton (A), West Ham (H).
But of course, Fulham, Hull, Sunderland, Stoke and Boro were all games that on paper looked winnable.
Pffffffffffffffffffffft
Nicklaus Bendtner and Alex Song.
Bendtner for his attitude - stop swaggering around like you're some sort of world class player in yer pink boots and put a shift in for a change. And learn from Eduardo on how to finish.

It's a shame really because he clearly has talent - he looked great in pre-season - but he seems to have an attitude problem.
I'm fine with a bit of arrogance but you have to back it up with performances.
Song tries hard but he's batting out of his crease. The lad just aint good enough for the Arsenal, it's plain to see.
On the plus side, Johan Djourou has looked the part recently.
I've always rated him, ever since he first came into the first team in 2005-06. I hope he continues to impress and gets the run in the team he deserves.
TRANSFER WINDOW COUNTDOWN
11 DAYS
The tabs will fill up with transfer guff for the next six weeks. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ. It really is time the Premier League reviewed the transfer window, and by 'review' I mean get rid!
It bores me to tears, makes no logical sense, and forces managers' to make such ludicrous panic buys as Mikael Sylvestre.
That said, I'll be hanging on every bit of speculation in hope that Wenger brings in some quality experienced players.![]()
