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.
Follow me on twitter @Indigooner talking Arsenal through the day.
Have a good evening wherever you are.
