Been A Bit Quiet Really

Well, its a lovely sunny friday here in England at the minute. The grass is being cut all over the country, people are rushing to nearest supermarket to get their barbeque foods, and children are playing in the street playing football. Oh how i've missed football this week, to match the lovely week in which we seem to be having.

Anyway, back to The Arsenal. This whole week has been extremely quiet. Wenger has kept the lid tightly sealed on any news coming out of the training ground, and rightly so in my opinion. Arsenal needed a break, and Wenger is protecting the players as he usually does, takes the blow himself, and looks forward to the next game. The Blackburn game was a poor one. Arsene knows this, the players know this, but now its up to them to change the form we are currently in. They need to step up and be accounted for. Fabregas, Van Persie, Squillaci, Almunia, even Wilshere to some extent. They need to step-up their game and become the leaders in which we are desperate for in our team. Only Wilshere this year has really developed into a great prospect, and one in which is leading from the front. Fabregas has his moments, but he cant do it single handedly, he needs everyone to step up with him, otherwise he will leave, but now is not the time to talk about that.

Also today, looking through other blogs and any sort of interesting news that has arisen today and yesterday, it seems that Nasri has been nominated for young player of the year, and proffessional footballers player. What a great honour for him, but is it me, or has he not performed for a long time now? I'm sure he got a little niggling injury, and ever since he hasn't performed anywhere near the potential that we saw then. Now dont get me wrong, it could be that Wenger has told him to do things differently, i.e. playing him in the middle instead of the wing (or vise-versa), but that doesnt stop a player from shining, in which i think his sun is slowly setting the horizon (bad metaphor i know).

I'll save all of the news which is coming through about Wenger and second place being a success, because for me, following on from last year, second place is a success, and i hope we achieve that, because at the end of last year, none of us expected us to have been this close for so long in the season. And anyway it's not over yet.

My dad's off to Blackpool tomorrow, hopes to lap up a few of Blackpool's finest (obviously the rollercoaster's) and rest his head, in the hope we can destroy Blackpool on Sunday. Until Next Time!
