Road to Wembley - Via Ipswich Town

Greetings of the day Gooners

Isnt it wonderful to spend the weekend after a 3p.m kickoff during which your team displays attacking prowess of a lioness out to make a kill to feed her cubs. What we witnessed on Saturday was for me our game of the season a second one in which we displayed as much hunger and desire to win the game as much as we did when we played Chelsea. At the half time interval i was scratching my head wondering how the fuck is that score line not embarrassing enough for Wigan to not walk out of that tunnel for the second half. I also felt that soon after half time Wigan would score a goal from absolutely nothing and we would end the game 1-1 after having 7922 attempts on goal. Ok not 7922 but you get a wind of the point I'm trying to make here.

Lucky for us The Arsenal of the first half took to the pitch and were absolutely relentless in their pursuit of the second goal which came from a peach of an assist from Fabregas. Is it me or have any of you observed how well this partnership of our two stalwarts clicks. The second goal reminded me of the goal that RVP scored from a Fabregas assist against Fulham last season. Inch perfect pass and meticulous finishing from RVP. The fact that he didn't score 5 goals against Wigan is not too much to dwell about, but how i would've loved to see the King in the 'i scored 5 goals in a game' club which otherwise boasts of some utter and despicable cunts like Defoe and Berbatov.
The King has returned hasn't he folks.

What was even more brilliant about our win was the fact that, Shitty with their £ 400 million line-up and £ 800 million bench lost to Aston "stop laughing cos we paid £ 24 million for Darren Bent" Villa and Tottenham grabbed a late late equaliser against the Magpies, thus dropping points. So the weekend meant that we scored three goals, won three points, had our 4th consecutive clean sheet (the last time we had one of those was when Terry first shagged one of his team mates wives and that was in 07-08) and now sit second in the league 2 points behind ManU who play their game in hand against Blackpool at Bloomfield road this week. I'll have a shag on Ian Holloway if he gets his team to beat ManU. Mind you i don't dedicate my shags just like that.

So now the weekend is behind us, we now stare at our most important game of the season tomorrow at the Grove, where we welcome Ipswich in the second round of the semi's. I call this game our most important game cos i firmly believe that winning the Carling Cup will be the thrust this side need to move towards the silverware we've all being thirsting and longing for. I wont get into the mindset issue for tomorrow cos the team got one up their arses at Portman Road and will know that Ipswich will play the match of their lives when they take to the pitch tomorrow. They will definitely be up for it and know that tomorrow they need to bring their A game back to the pitch and finish Ipswich off by half time. Mind you Ipswich will defend absolutely everything and play all 11 in goal for most of the match and look to score a goal only if we offer it to them on a plate. I say that there is a chance of letting one in cos the only goals we've conceded in our last 7 have been one each against Ipswich and Leeds. So the defense needs to be up for it as well. Should they score a goal first then we need to find a way to hit 3 past them with their entire team in goal. I hope we don't face a situation like that, but if we do I'm sure this team will find a way to put a few past them nevertheless.

On the squad front too i don't expect too many changes for this one from the team that played at the weekend cos Wenger can safely rest most of the squad for the game against Huddersfield on Sunday. I strongly feel that the line up for the game tomorrow will just be with one or two changes, not more.

Chesney
Sagna Djourou Kos Gibbs
Song Wilshere
Walcott Fabregas Nasri
Chamakh

Subs: Shea, Fabregas, Denislson, RVP, Bendtner, Rosicky, Clichy

In transfer gossip/news Southampton sensation Alex Oxlade - Chamberlain has decided to join us, to which the  manger reacted saying

"I think, if that is right, that is a very good decision. We will try now."We need an agreement with Southampton, we need an agreement with the player, and we are not the only ones on the case. But we try as hard as we can as I like him as a player."

It seems that the deal involves £5 million upfront payment and another £5 million in performance based payouts. It's also reported that the he may be loaned back to Southampton for the remainder of the season. What this tells us is the fact that Wenger is the only one to go out and buy an attacker when there is an evident need at the club for a defender. But i guess, Wenger knows best. This would ensure that the Arsenal talent factory will have the likes of AOChamberlain, Miyachi and Wellington coming thru in the years to come. Build for the future eh Arsene ?

In other news Richard Keys and Andy Gray, yes the two cunts from Sky, yes the two cunts who think they know everything about football, yes the two cunts who are pre historic in their analysis of the game, yes the two CUNTS who believe that breaking a leg through a tackle is what  makes English football different from the rest of Continental Europe. No thanks you Cunts, I'd rather have my legs. Anyways, these two were caught on the microphone mouthing off about the female ref at the Liverpool game and managed to score an own goal due to this. The cunts though they were off air and shot their mouths off on how a 'woman cannot understand the offside rule' to later realise that what they said was picked up by their microphones. Have always known the two of them to be Cunts but with these comments I'm sure the word 'cunt' itself would hate being used in the same breath as these two _______, you guessed it right CUNTS.

And that's about it from me today. Here's to a brilliant performance from the lads at the Grove tomorrow evening which will allow us Gooners to finally start dreaming about the final at Wembley.

Have a good day wherever you are and here's to an Epic semi final victory at the Emirates tomorrow.

Has the real Arsenal finally stood up

Greetings of the new day Gooners.

The victory at Elland Road has not quite sunk in yet and we are already staring at the game at Wigan tomorrow. This marks the beginning of our four consecutive matches at home against Wigan, Ipswich, Huddersfield and Everton. If you look at the list, the fixtures definitely look winnable and considering they are at home, anything other than a win will be inexcusable.

On the subject of winning it does seem like the team has finally managed to check the box in their heads which requires them to give their all for the 90 minutes that they take the pitch for. This is evident in the body language of the players and what better demonstration for the cause than by our very own Nasri who we saw sprint back 60 yards to cover defensively. If this Arsenal consistently turns up on the day of the games with this attitude and with a mission to close teams down without giving a rats arse about the reputation they have, you can be rest assured that by the time we face Barcelona we would be as mentally strong as one can be. Lets just hope that we get a string of wins, not draws, WINS under our belt and i bet you my pension that the title is ours for the taking. I still believe that Manu have been really lucky when it's come to their position in the league and this is down to that fact that the teams around them have been inconsistent and loosing games. If you notice Manu has played with nearly the same back five for the better half of the season and somethings gotta give. You just know it !!

The news in the world of Arsenal is as non existent as the conscience of our politicians who seem to be hell bent on trying new ways to plunder this already bankrupt nation. Wenger informed the media that TV5 had an operation on some tendon near his Achilles and it has now been completely removed. He goes on to say that some people do not even have this tendon and this was the reason for the friction with TV5's Achilles. He was operated by a team of specialists in Sweeden and not the placenta inserter who worked on keeping RVP out for 6 months. Though all of this is all hunky dory and i cant wait for TV5 to be back in the red and white, the question i ask our medical team is "Why in God's name does it take you 5 months to figure out the reason for a problem" I do feel that we are at times overly cautious in operating on the player and hence waste time in trying to heal the damn problem through physiotherapy and what not, to finally realize that operating upon the player is the only fucking solution. BLAH ! Damn you medics.

The only silver lining in this saga is that TV5 should be back in 6 weeks pulling on the shirt and ready to battle. That brings me to the issue of our CB. While Djouscienly  have been brilliant at the back for us we are a Lee Bowyer away from seriously loosing one of them to an injury. If one of the thugs in the league do not manage to take them away, I'm sure the injury gods have something in store for us. Admit it, it has been a while since they've fucked up our season and I'm sure they must be itching to cast a spell of doom over us. There is also the risk of overplaying the two of them and having them fatigued. We've already played 4 games in 11 days with another 5 games to go in the next 12. Surely the two of them cannot cope with the fixture list that we have and Wenger is surely risking a lot if he doesn't buy a decent CB before the end of the window. Notice the word 'decent CB', that was written knowing that there is no way in hell that Wenger will splash the cash on a world class CB so atleast we should hope for a decent one. But again, given Wenger's previous signings like Sylvestre, i would look decent in the CB position even after I've downed a bottle of the finest rum.

The youth team crashed out of the FA youth cup last night in front of a strong crowd at the Bridge. Stoppage time winner scored by a chap who goes by the name Lalkovic, who incidentally also scored the equalizer. With not much to do  from now until the end of the season, could we see Wenger and Bould take the decision to ship some of these lads out on loan to League 1 and League 2 sides.

In some transfer news its reported that Wheater has finally completed his move from Miidlesborough to Bolton in a deal worth 2.3 million quid. Does this signing signal the end of Cahill to Arsenal. I would love to think so, but me thinks Cahill might be lured to the greener pastures at the Bridge alongside John 'I love boinking your wife' Terry.

The legend that is Thierry Henry says in an interview "Winning the league at White Hart Lane was better than winning the Champions League" - LEGEND.
See the difference you Sp*rs retards, while we talk about winning cups you will spend your lives talking about winning a game and qualifying for the CL. JOKE

And on that note I'm out of here. Back tomorrow with a brief preview of the Wigan game and my usual incorrect predictions on the scoreline ;)

Can Arsenal Leed the way into the next round

Good Evening Gooners.

So the last time i blogged it was before the West Ham game and boy oh boy did we dish it out at Upton Park. Good to get all 3 points from there on a weekend where Utd and Sp*rs both dropped points. It was absolutely necessary that we got the right result because we knew that, no matter which way the result between the two went we would be benefited and benefit we did. We're now 2 points off Utd albeit they have a game in hand but something tells me that Blackpool (their opponents for the game in hand) will do us a huge favour during the replay. Fingers crossed.

Anyways moving onto tonight's match the boss has been speaking about the need for squad rotation - YIKES !! Not Eboue, Denilson and Bendtner all the same time again please Mr Wenger, Pretty please.The manager had to say

"We could certainly do without this extra game at Leeds and we will have to rotate our squad. Our success depends on how well the entire squad can focus on all the different competitions.I will prepare for the game at Leeds to win it and believe we have the quality to go through no matter who I select."

Seriously though today will be the make or break point in the season for the afore-mentioned trio, though i feel Sagna will come straight back into the squad after his 3 match suspension. But for Denilson and Bendtner i do feel they need to step up tonight and deliver and and put to bed a lot of criticism that seems to be headed their way. Also, Ignasi might just make his professional debut tonight alongside Kos, as i don't see the manager going out and risking Djourou tonight. The team for tonight should look like this

Chesney
Sagna Kos Ignasi Gibbs
Denilson WIlshere
Arshavin Fabregas Bendtner
Chamakh

Subs: Shea, Rosicky, Nasri, Walcott, Djourou, RVP, Eboue

Denilson meanwhile got himself into a soup over his comments on an interview that he did with the Brazilian Tv on how he thought that we lacked leadership and that Cesc isn't the person who provides it. Really stupid thing to say i thought to myself  and that too by someone who doesn't even hold onto a regular spot on the team. Luckily for me and millions of other gooners worldwide Denilson clarified what he actually meant.


"Fabregas is a great friend. When I said the team has no leadership I was pointing out that the Arsenal squad is made up of a very young group of players who sometimes need a more experienced person, like Gilberto Silva was for many years.
I’m a shy guy, I don’t like controversy and problems. I was misquoted. I spoke to [Cesc] Fabregas and everything is resolved. We are fighting for the English title and this will not damage our focus."

Good thing for him to clarify himself else he would've had to deal with a lot of hate that would have made its way to him. Though i do think that there is a bone to pick on the leadership at Arsenal, maybe I'll pick on that at a later date.

In other news John Cross from the Mirror has reported that we are after Samba from Blackburn. Now i have tremendous respect for Mr John Cross who is a very vocal Arsenal supporter and at the same time a fine journalist but to link us with Samba ? Really Mr Cross, are you taking the piss out of  me. You might as well link Arsenal to the missus who will do a better job than that brainless twat. And the Daily Mail has us interested in Richard "see how i score an own goal" Dunne. I'd  really love to take a walk into the offices of these news paper establishments and meet the creative directors who print these insanely zany football transfer rumors. I agree that Wenger is tight with the cash, but that does not mean he'll always go for shit when it comes to defenders. And by always i was referring to the silly fat bald retard we signed from Utd called  Sylvestre !!!

Moving back to the game tonight  i do feel that the boys will be up for it and we've seen time and again this season that when we've put our heads to wanting it badly we've always managed a result in our favour.Since this is the replay the match will go to penalties should the scores remain level after 120 Min's, but I expect  this one to be done and dusted by the half time whistle with the final score being 4-1 to the Arsenal.

And that's all from me today. The match is being broad casted on Sony Pix @ 1.30 IST.

Have a good evening wherever you are.

In Wenger we trust.

Can the Hammers be Hammered

Good Evening Gooners

Ok tonites gonna be a quickie cos I'm neck deep in work with the sister's wedding and seeing me writing this blog, i can already see my mom have the look that could make most of our reserve team piss their pants.
Moving on to tonight's game, there's the team news that most of you already know of, Eboue replacing Sagna who is serving the  last of his three match ban, Fabianski being ruled out with injury and Chesney manning the posts. I expect the team to line up as below

Chesney
Eboue-Djourou-Kos-Clichy
Song-Wilshere
Walcott-Fabregas-Nasri
RVP

Subs: O'Shea, Gibbs, Miquel, Denilson. Arshavin, Chamakh, Bendtner

So the line-up is as good a team  that we can put out against any opposition, barring Eboue, but I'll reserve my thoughts on his recent downward spiral in form for another day. I do feel that the team seem to reserve the best for the PL while taking the cup games a bit more lightly and that is purely due to the fact that they know they have an escape route by playing a second leg and i am more than confident that Ipswich and Leeds would get an ass whooping that would make them fear being promoted or at least playing Arsenal, EVER !

The team should be able to take  all 3 points from Upton Park tonight and their cause will be greatly aided by fact that Scott Parker is missing in action tonight. One only needs to see the half season review of the Hammers to know how greatly influential he his and why they aren't already relegated. I expect the game to finish 2-0 which, considering the fact that we  haven't scored in 300 mins from open play is actually a long shot.

Some interesting news that is just doing  the rounds is that about the ankle of our superstar of the season, Samir Nasri. Its rumoured that he has been facing some issues with his ankle for awhile now and needs pain killers to see him though the 90 minutes. Lets hope the injury Gods don't piss on our luck with Sami and i promise i wont have sex for 2 weeks, no 10 days, no a week, ok 4 days, fine this weekend...Deal ?

I'll leave the rest of some transfer news that seems to be emerging from the Grove for tomorrow. Here's to a superlative performance from the lads and one that will make us put to bed the disappointments of Leeds and Ipswich. And for Chamakh to come off the bench and score a brace, here's a little song for him

'He's not White,He's Not Black-He comes from a place not far from Iraq,He plays upfront and he plays in attack-He's our mate Marouane Chamakh'

Crash and Burn - Will we ever learn ??

Evening Gooners.

You must've noticed how I've taken the good away from the evening cos there's not much good in the world when the team you so dearly love manage to fuck up against a side that has been beaten to pulp by a team that was beaten by us. I cant even get my head around to the fact that for 79% of the possession all we had to show was 'FUCKALL' !! The manager made a couple of changes to the team that played Leeds at the weekend and you imagine that a team which starts with Fabregas, Djourou, Walcott and Wilshere should be good enough for a team that is currently languishing in the 19th spot in the Championship. But then again, who am i to dare to believe in this Arsenal team.
This team seriously pushes me to the edge of my patience and belief in them and last night was another one of those days where i would rather have experienced the pain of PMS than watch this lot play. I don't want to get into how we played during the match cos there's not one encouraging line that i could write about the display. For me the only person who cared during the 90 minutes to play and give a damn about the game was Djourou. The rest of the squad expected that they would just how up as always and expect Ipswich to roll over.
I have a few questions i need answers to, though :

Where is the Arsenal  team that played Chelsea 15 days ago ?
Who was that impersonator playing in the #4 jersey and what has he done to Cesc ?
What  the fuck is Eboue doing playing for Arsenal ?
Why wasnt Denilson denied a work permit when he first signed for Arsenal ?
Why dont we put Arshavin on a pay as you play contract and stipulate that he must cover atleast 10 kms every game ?
Which are the 10 clubs queued up to sign Carlos Vela ? If you really do exist can you take him away now ?
What does Bendtner know about playing football and where is the talent he so often talks about ?
When will Wenger stop making excuses for the team and start laying into the team like a madman ?
What the fuck will happen to our season if something happens to Djourou ?
Why cant Rosicky get two games in a row, when Denilson can manage two, and that too without a hint of creativity ?
When can we start scoring goals for fun once again ?

I am at my wits end with this lot and i know that this anger will be forgotten once we get a positive result against West Ham. That i guess is the peril of being a fan of such a mad football club.

I don't want to get into the whole 'i hope they take this game as a lesson and ensure they don't repeat a performance like this' shit because it wont happen. The sooner we accept the fact that this team will keep dishing out performances like this, the better it is for our mental and physical well being.

And with that i will sign off for today. My apologies if this blog today appears more like a rant than constructive criticism.

Here's to a win against West Ham this weekend and for all of us to fall in love with them all over again.

Have a good evening wherever you are.

Can Arsenal Do a Chelsea at Portman Road

Good Evening Gooners.

The last time i blogged we were welcoming Shitty to the Emirates and it turned out to be a shitty match indeed. Cant blame the boys for not trying last Wednesday evening but i must say that we cant blame luck for not scoring a goal. And that's where i see this team lacking in sheer comparison to Barcelona. We can match them eye for eye on every front except finding the back of the net to chances ratio. Believe me if we could find our shooting boots for every chance we created we could well be on our way to be the first team in the PL to score 100 goals in a season. Anyways the match clearly showed the gulf between Shitty and us in terms of desire to win a game by playing football !!

The match against Leeds too was disappointing because we created next to Fuck all for the best part of an hour, barring the Arshavin chance and as always found ourselves a goal down. People will ramble on saying that this was a team which had 9 changes from the team that played Shitty. But isn't this the same lot that praises Wenger for builiding such a formidable bench. Another point to note is the fact that the team that set out against Leeds included 10 internationals !! The fact is that we, in spite of being bitten on our arse's too often expected Leeds to roll over and allow us to stroll home to a victory. If not for the last minute stupidity of Leeds we would've had to endure the kind of abuse from the Leeds fans that would, rather make me want to lie down in my own puke !! And we did have chances to actually go on and win it but Bendtner and Theo wanted to to go see how the pitch at Elland Road looks and we have the replay against them which has now been confirmed as the 19th of January

Moving on to the match tomorrow night at Portman Road expect Arsene to ring in a few changes from the team that played against Leeds on Saturday for an opposition that was beaten to pulp by a Chelsea team that was in a slump worse than me, after having a bottle of the darkest rum known to man.
I expect Djourou to be given the day off tomorrow to protect his knee and for Ignasi Miquel to take his place. I make this assumption on the fact that the reserve team captain did not play (lucky) for our reserves in the 10-1 thrashing dished out by Aston Villa reserves. I expect Wilshere to start the game in place of Song who will be given the day off to preserve him for West Ham. My team line up for tomorrow is

Chesney
Eboue Miquel Kos Gibbs
Denislson Wilshere Rosicky
Arshavin Chamakh Bendtner

Subs: Fabianski, Fabregas, Nasri, Walcott, Eastmond, Djourou, Vela

There is no better time to visit a team than when they have just been beaten 7-0 by a PL opposition and that will be at the back of their minds. This will play a big part tomorrow night and expect to see another game where the opposition will just park 10 men in defense. What would do us good is that fact that we will have to take the chances that we create and once we have an advantage of a couple of goals then let the good time roll. My prediction for the match is a 5-1 thrashing of Ipswich and i do hope the humble pie is not headed for my mouth tomorrow evening.

In other news we are reportedly in the market for a defender in the transfer window and i shall not waste your time and mine in speculating who will come in and who wont. If there's one thing I've learnt in all these years being a Gooner during the Wenger era is the fact that the man pulls out more surprises than David Blaine himself and it would be paramount idiocracy to believe that anyone in the blogspehere has an iota of an idea on whats going on in his mind. Its always good to speculate and hope but hey I'm not writing to sell ads or get more hits on my blog to be counted as famous am I :))

In other news the Legend i.e Thierry Henry is at our Colney training base for 10 days and will be helping out the strikers with their shooting. Its cant get better, can it ? Bendtner has been doing what he does best and you've guessed right its not scoring goals but talking his mouth off that I'm talking about. He's been talking about the importance of winning the Craling Cup and how it will be fantastic to show a trophy for all the hard work. Thanks for the good words Nik, but I'd rather you score 30 goals a season than give me information that i have no use for !

There's also the news that Galatasaray has made an offer for our Spanish waiter, Almunia and want to take him to Turkey. Haven't they seen him play ?? Does TV not exist in Turkey ?? "God bless these souls for they know not what they do" - Sound familiar ;)  Hey but why should i complain, he's one bloke who I'd love to see out of this club.

Anyways I'm out of here and would like everyone reading this to wish the love of my life, my sister Samantha all the best for her marriage this Sunday.

That should keep me busy for the rest of the week but I'll try to do something of a post match review on Ipswich as well as a preview to the game against the Hammers on Saturday.

Cash v/s Class

Good evening Gooners. So we finally arrive to the day of the big game at the Emirates. This really is a game with which we could signal our intent to win the League. It has been awfully quiet around these parts with the only noise that seems to be emanating from Arsenal Football Club is that of the need for a new defender if TV5 does not make it in time, Vela moving on loan to Bolton and Ramsey's return to the club.

Today for me will be a true test of the maturity that Wenger keeps talking about that our side has acquired. It was great that we managed a big win against Chelsea but do we have it in us to put up a virtuoso display like that tonight. Mind you for all the millions that City have spent they are actually turning out to be a good team and their position in the league is all on their own accord. Kudos to Mancini for getting this lot of players together and playing for the common cause of winning some kind of silverware and/or Champions League status. Training ground bust ups aside i am sure that it will not be in the minds of the City players when they take to the pitch tonight because only one of the two (read Toure) involved in the bust up will actually be involved in our match as well. So sulkycuntycunt Adebayor may well be given some time to pack his bags for another club back home in the eastlands.

Tonight's game, i assure you will be a much more physical battle than the one we've endured against the likes of Brum and Stoke cos these monsters from City actually have some footballing class to them. To add, the last time we played them, they put on a fight right until the very end in spite of being a man down for most of the match. If we do not have a work rate like the one we had against Chelsea i can assure you that we might as well not bother taking to the pitch tonight cos City will make us pay.

They will be further buoyed by the fact that utd won against Stoke and the gap between them and Utd is now 3 points with Utd having played a game less. For Arsenal, we absolutely have to give everything to the match tonight and failure, sorry to say is not an option.

The team i imagine that will line up is below

Fabianski
Sagna-Djourou-Kos-Clichy
Song-Wilshere
Walcott-fabregas-Nasri
Chamakh

Subs: Chesney,RVP, Denilson,Bendtner, Rosicky, Squillaci, Eboue

I've picked chamakh over RVP today cos i feel Wenger would have seen from the display on Saturday that RVP is still short on his sharpness and simply cannot afford to take a gamble on his finishing. Hence Chamakh would step in and provide us with all the link up and hold up play that has made him so endearing to us, not to mention the 10 goals he's raked up already. Other than that i expect no other changes from the list above.

Here's hoping for an evening to remember for all of us this evening. The match is being broadcasted on ESPN at 1.10 a.m in the India Timezone.

Follow me on twitter @indigooner for updates and ramblings throughout the match.

Have a good evening wherever you are and here's to 3 points at the Emirates.

Until tomorrow.

A little bit of this and that

Good evening Gooners. Its been a while since the last blog but you can blame that on heavy drinking that is associated with NYE and the drunken stupor one spends with himself on new years day. Not to mention getting back to work the next day and realizing that life's still a bitch when it comes to work and you still hate your boss because, he still is the cunt you left behind on NYE in the hope that God would be kind enough to have him run over, as a small gift to begin the new year with. Sinister, am i not ??

Moving on to the world  of Arsenal where the holiday week has yielded more than i could've hoped for - and i know that many of you will continue cribbing about the Wigan result but please do yourselves a favor and ask yourselves if you would've imagined Arsenal winning the game against Chelsea. Am sure most of us feared the worst while a few would have gone for a draw. Only a brave few (like myself) had actually expected 3 points from that game. So that means that we are 3rd in the league 2 points behind Utd who have a game in hand and City who have played a game more. So beating them would effectively mean that we would  move into second one point above them with a game in hand.

Which is good because now we have moved into the business half  of the season where the league contenders will slowly start creating a gap between themselves and the rest of the pack. I see this years title going down to the month of May with this being a 4 horse race with only Arsenal, City,  Utd and Chelsea. Its not the Spurs bias that doesn't make them feature on the list, i do believe they do not have the legs in them to carry them throughout the season. All they need is for Gallas or Kaboul to pull a hammie and then its crash, bang, boom. While a lot of people are laughing off Chelsea and stating they might as well prepare to battle for 4th place i expect them to hit back in a a game or two at best and make a march  towards the title. How they would regret all the points dropped when this goes down to the wire. More on this subject at a later date.

In other news Lee Bowyer has been handed a 3 game suspension for his stamp on Sagna which for once is a decision that has been taken by the FA in our favor. Yet you have McLeish complaining that the FA is partial to the big clubs. Did you not see the stamp by Bowyer Mr Mcleish ?? What did you expect them to do, send Bowyer a pair of limbs he could jump on before the next match ?? Cunts

Carlos Vela will be moving to Bolton on loan come January and the deal clincher was the fact that Coyle promised Wenger that Vela would get a fair bit of first team action. I reckon its a good move for Vela, since under Coyle they have actually learnt how to play football along the ground rather than just hoof the damn ball in the air each time they caught hold of it.

The club of  pretenders had another training ground bust up today featuring our very own expats M/s Adebayor and M/s Toure. Now i know for one, that Toure is one of the nicest guys around i cant imagine what, that prick and low life creature Adebayor would have said to him to wind him up. Anyways i am hoping Ade got punched a couple of times in his face or kicked in his balls or both, repeatedly, until the sky turned very dark due to the extreme pain he felt in his uterus, yes uterus cos he sold his balls the day he mocked us by running the length of the pitch at Eastlands.

There's also the story about Munich tapping up Bendtner but i am not not going to waste my time and yours speculating into that. Bendtner is our player for this season. PERIOD

Our very own DB10 the legend has been inducted as the coach for the Ajax youth team. Here's a special shout out to him and wishing him all the very best. A very lucky bunch little pricks at the Ajax youth team i might say.

And that's all that i have to ramble on about today. Back tomorrow with a predictions on the squad, formation and scorelines and here's to hoping that normal blogging service will continue for the rest of the year.

Have a good evening wherever you are.
