Boring Boring Interlull....Horizon Nearing

Well then, lucky for me and you as readers, i have managed to remember my password for this blog. I am now able to start writing blogs about The Arsenal once more...

Now then, i think its best to start with the Internationals. We could all be here for hours discussing the pointlessness of such games, but luckily we dont have to as everyone already knows the problems with such idiotic games. All they are, are money-spinning boring games, in which allow all of the F.A's to earn a litle bit of extra cash, along with all of the injuries which come along with them. Luckily, it looks as though for once (fingers crossed), we have managed to come out of this week without any injuries, apart from a 'minor knock' on Van Persie. As long as he is fit for saturday, i dont have to start getting violent with the F.A.

Now that my 'mini' rant is over, i can now look forward to the Blackburn game. With it being a late kick off, we can enjoy a nice day of going to The Emirates, few bevy's, have a quick munch, and watch some enjoyable football from what looks like our first team?

I think that could possibly be one of the best bit of news in which we have had during this week, is that Fabregas, Walcott and Song have been training together, and look like they could be playing on saturday...This means we could have the same potential of output in attack as we had when we played against Wolves at home, when we looked our best, nad when we had everyone fit.

The problem with Blackburn is that of their long hoofs from Paul -wheres-the-ball-gone- Robinson, If our shaky defence and keeper can at least stop some of these, then we stand a chance against a crap side. As long as we score more than we let in, i will be happy with the three much needed points.

Well more to come, in-depth about the Blackburn game... Have yourself a nice rest of Thursday night, work hard tomorrow at work, school, wherever...and get charged up for Saturday.

Man City Preview

Well, we're nearing kick-off, the nerves are building up, the butterflies are bouncing around your stomach, it must mean this is an important match.

With United winning last night against a useless Stoke side, it seems to me as though this really is a must not lose game for both sides, especcially us. With United now having played the same amount of games as us, and we're five points behind them, by winning, we just re-place that pressure back onto them. If god forbid, we were to lose, then the we must start looking over our shoulders towards Chelsea and Sp*rs, as they seem to be quietly going about their business and winning games (minus Chelski). This is a must win game, no doubt about it.

Looking at the sides i think will start, it looks as though there is a complete contrast between the two sides. One majorly effective on the counter, with big physical players, and then the other, perhaps a bit weak at times, but with the ability to move the ball as fast as Usain Bolt around them. Last season it was the same. Man City turned up at the Emirates, hoping not to get beat. They played dull, boring football, which resulted in a 0-0 draw. Yawn.... This game has no chance of being the same. Both sides need a win, and cant lose, but a draw isnt great either.

Now, not just from a biased point of view, which i'll obviously give, but I feel The Arsenal will win this one. I think our confidence will start to ooze out of us, and once Walcott starts to rip shreds out of their defence, i expect Van Persie to lay it off for Nasri,who then almost does a ballot turn, to lay it off to Cesc, who will then score a delightful effort into the bottom corner (this was my dream last night).

Anyway, making our way to the game later on, few drinks in pub beforehand along with a meal in a delightful Italian, before making our way over to the game.

C'mon Arsenal!!!

Ramsey, Vela and Man City

Well, bank holiday's over, people are waking up at 6 and 7 o'clocks to get ready for work. How Depressing. Luckily with this rubbish system called teacher training, I get another day. WOOHOO!!!

Well, glad that's over with. Moving onto something a bit more constructive. Ramsey has finished his loan move, and now is returning back to The Arsenal. Due to that week with all the snow and everything, he hasnt got as much matches under his belt as everyone would have liked, but none the less, he's back playing football, which is a miracle in itself. As i said yesterday, i dont expect him to be playing a major role in this season, just a few sub appearances and maybe a few cup games, although the carling cup is nearly over. Get him prep'd and ready for next season.

In other news, Owen Coyle has said:

We have got a good relationship with Arsenal and Arsene. If you ask if Carlos is available and are Bolton interested the answer would be yes. Arsene will want any player going out on loan to be playing. His belief will be that Carlos Vela would come back to Arsenal a better player for experience.

This hints as though the deal is quite close, and now they're just niggling at little bits and bobs. I'd like to see Vela play for them actually. They did a great job with Wilshere, and hopefully they can do the same to Vela. Now Wenger is a clever man, he is either doing it for The Arsenal and the player, to make him better and get experience, or he his prepping the transfer linked Spanish clubs to see how he really plays, as he's not getting any game time at The Arsenal. I personally think the latter, but thats me.

Looking forward to the Man City game, it doesnt seem as though there is any injury news. Almunia is out for another 3 weeks, which coincides nicely with the transfer window dont you think?? I'll let you make up your own assumptions about that. But more on Man City tomorrow, i'm back at 11, from a hard day at sixth form, then off to watch The Arsenal give a sticking to all the dirty scummers at City, especcially Adeb***r.

Until Then.....

Boring Boring Bank Holiday's!

Well, here we are, start of a new year and we feel obliged to have a new bank holiday. With Arsenal playing on saturday, and now the upcoming Weds, there really isnt much to talk about in terms of Arsenal.

The transfer window re-opens, and a few of our loanees are returning. Vito Mannone is returning from Hull, which makes it more likely for Almunia to dissappear to Spain, whereby no-one is ever to see or hear from him again (probably for the best). Ramsey is retuning too. Now, i dont know how many games he has played exactly, but i know it is very little. SO when he returns, i dotn expect him to be anywhere near match fit, a few substitute appearances just to please the crowd and that will be it for him. I'm looking forward to having back fit and ready to make a real contibution to next season.

Now then, moving onto something a bit more 'juicy'. But with the ever apparent of the transfer rumours of Vela leaving Arsenal, it has come to my attention that Bolton are interested in him, whether it be on loan or to buy, but one thing that has come to my attention, is the idea of Gary Cahill becoming part of a player and cash exchange. With Coyle placing a £20 million price tag on him, it sounds as if, if the right offer was to come in, then he would depart with Cahill. Now this is just an idea, but what if we were to say give Vela and £7 million? for Cahill.

Sound Fair?

Anyway, looking forward to tomorrrow, where there may be a bit mroe news on the Man City game, and a bit more information in general on transfer dealings.

Get In There!!

Well, sorry about the late reply of the post, feeling the effects of a new years day party, which involves drinking champagne all day, instead of wasting our life away in pubs on new years eve, celebrating another minute of our life, with a new number at the end of the year. As you can tell, im not that fond of new years eve celebrations, and i feel sorry for all those people that stood outside in the freezing cold, just to see some fireworks that looked very nice in HD anyway? Very Strange.

Anyway, moving on to football.

What a side we are statring to look. I was shocked to see the Arsenal side that came out yesterday, showing the effort that they put in for the game, to come out and give them the result we all deserve. After the Wigan game, was nice to see the team that started against Chelsea start. That team, is slowly becoming our first team, and depending on the fitness of van persie and Djourou, i expect it to be the same against Man City.

As i look back on that game, i feel the way in which we bounced back from all of the ruggidness and hard tackling by Birmingham theoretically backfiring. Our football at times just out played Birmingham and they just couldnt handle us. The free flowing football of Cesc and Nasri, with the idea of Van Persie and Walcott atacking behind the defenders just frieghtened them off, and prevents them from attacking. This is why i feel Walcott, even if he doesnt seem to be as great as he should be at times, can possibly be such an important factor in big games. He prevents the attacking full backs, and agaisnt Man City, to see him getting behind the slow defence, it will be a delight to see.

What also is a delight to my ears, is the dirty horrible twat of a player Bowyer, got his abuse from the fans with the song "We've got Cesc Fabregas, You've Got Lee Bowyer". Along with the rumours that he is getting a probe into the incident where he stamped on Sagna. This should hopefully prevent him from stamping on a few players for the rest of his career, a couple of games.

Anyway, more tomorrow, on Man City and any other related news that may arise.

End of The Year

With the end of the year looming over us, all i can say is that it has been a very up and down season. From the lows of Sp*rz at the Emirates, to the mangled disgusting image of Ramsey being manhandled by Shawcross. Although, the abuse he recieved that day when he was sent off, and the enjoyment and absolutle exstatic nature of the Arsenal fans and players when Vermealen scored in the last minutes, never have i been so happy at football.

This nicley brings me onto the loan on which Ramsey is on, terminating on Jan 2nd, means he can get come back to his proper team and friends, and start challenging for his first team spot again, and i wouldnt be suprised if he takes over from denilson in the middle of the park. Although, thoughts still scare me of him returning similar to Eduardo, with that image crossing his mind. Hopefully not, but you never know.

Also the transfer window re-opens soon.

This can mean a lot of things. More abuse towards Wenger for not signing so and so, or because he's sells Almunia and Vela, although, the two of them i dont think will be sorely missed. Apart from Vela's footwear

 Personally owning a pair of the orange ones a couple of seasons ago, i still think these boots are stupid, how on earth are you suppose to take a striker seriously when he is wearing these. No wonder we get kicked off the park when we travel up North.

Anyway, bacon sandwich is calling my name.

Back soon for more information about everything Arsenal.

Wigan Vs Arsenal

First off, we left early afternoon, thought that would give us enough time to get there and to enjoy a nice dinner somewhere, sounded fine, until that bloody M6 hits us again.

Every time we go up north, you think, this toll road is lovely and quiet, then as soon as the two M6's merge, its as if all that work, and miles you've travelled has been demolished by the traffic that lies ahead of you. So we plodded through, listening to the fancy sat nav saying only 6 miles left to do, blah blah blah...

Eventually we ended up in Wigan with under an hour. Walked through their nice shopping centre area, and found ourselves an Indian restaurant. We'd been here before and fell into the trap of them not serving alcohol again, yet again we had to last the day without a drop of drink. With the rush of the game on our minds, we needed the food quickly, which came at half 7. Now dont get me wrong, this was one of the finest Indians you will find, perhaps in the country, but with football needed to be watched, we rushed our meals, collected a free orange christmas hat from people outside, and we were off.

Not until the game started did we realise the demolition of the team Wenger had done. I can understand three or four changes, as then the rest can then be substituted later on in the game. But to make 8 changes, there has to be a massive problem there.

Although if the game was won, i'm sure everyone would have been saying what a manager Wenger is for what he did, but it backfired, so half of the blame has to be on him.

The other half has to lie on the players. All of them watched the game against Chelsea, but none of them knew how to defend ((excluding Wilshere who actually worked hard) along with Chamakh, who did his best upfront). The pressurising had dissapeared. That Barcelona-esque attitude had dissapperead, and it was as if it was a completly different team out there.

Overall, i feel as though we deserved to draw that game, never did we look good enough to deserve to win it, and plaudits to Wigan... They were never a dirty hoof the ball Northern team who enjoy a fight, they played their game, and wanted it more than we did. But this does not exclude how our team played.

With a quick clapping from only Nasri, Walcott and Bendtner, everyone was rushed into the tunnel, nice to see they enjoy and applaude our support. With a quick exit due to fear of our wheels being clamped, due to a new car parking area made by us, we rushed back home, to the nice and suprising welcome of some bread and cheese left out for us....

Delisiousooo.....
