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.
