Manchester City gave Arsenal a beautiful gift by defeating Manchester United at home in a 2-1 decision. The Blues defeated their crosstown rivals in both the home and away fixtures for the first time since 1970.
At Emirates Stadium, Philippe Senderos and Emmanuel Adebayor sent Arsenal five points clear of Manchester United with a convincing victory over a solid Blackburn side who have been consistently near the top of the Premiership in the 2007/08 campaign. In what may be eventually seen as a turning point for the entire season, Senderos headed home a beautiful cross by Cesc Fabregas in just the 4th minute of play. This slim margin held all the way to the 2nd minute of stoppage in the second half, when Adebayor added to his already impressive pile of goals with a powerful strike from the six yard box and gave the Gunners a 2-0 result. Adebayor is now tied for 1st place in the Premiership with 19 goals and holds this honor alongside the sensational Cristiano Ronaldo.
On a personal note, I found an essay that relates Calvin and Hobbes, the classic Bill Watterson comic strip that ran from 1985-1995, and Fight Club, the absolute masterpiece of a film from 1999.
This essay suggests that Fight Club contains the adult versions of Calvin (The Narrarator/ "Jack"), Hobbes (Tyler Durden), Suzie Derkins (Marla Singer), and others. It is a fascinating arguement, I encourage you to check it out.
Bed time.
