Exciting times ahead

The Picture says it all.

The European Champions and Real twice within a span of a month.
Get ready!

Is Wenger pressing the self-destruct button ?

The loss at Everton is very hard to digest.I mean these are teams we should be beating. West Brom, Villa, West Ham..the list this season is long.Bolton and Chelsea are acceptable but not the other teams. I really dont know if any kind of excuse is good enough.
I am beginning to feel that Arsene Wenger is falling victim to his own ego.I have great admiration for the gaffer and i think he is a top notch coach.But, i think that he is trying to prove everyone wrong by playing all these kids. When everyone around him is asking for established players, he seems to be persisting with youngsters.
Playing Cesc all season long is not gonna prove a thing.We all know that he is class but he is not going to give you good performances all season long. He has been given money to shell,Why cant he go get Dacourt or Mascherano or someone who is proven at this level. diaby might be a great prospect but he s not a finished article by a country mile.The need of the hour is someone who can fit right into the scheme of things.The same can be said for Walcott and Adebayor.
I think it is high time that we go get experienced players at the key positions or else we have a strong chance of not seeing European football at the new stadium.
And for god s sake, Mr. Wenger...we have had enough. Get someone who stands at 10 feet and put him in the middle of the park. How u are going to do it with abt a week left is beyond me.

Arsenal V Everton

Arsenal make a trip to Goodison Park hoping to put in a good away performance. Their showing away from home has been woeful to say the least. They have scored only 7 goals on the road and considering the fact that they got 7 in the last game at home ,they have to start banging in the goals away. .
In team news, Campbell will be back and lauren might have to go into left back as both cygan and cole are injured.One of the young kids will have to fill in at Right back.Dennis is till not fully fit and might not play.The new acquisiton from Auxerre, Diaby might be on the bench and might make a debut if the gunners are cruising.
For everton, Stubbs has come back after his stint in the North east with the black cats.He will be paired along yobo who had a great game last time around at fratton park.Tim cahill has finally found his goal scoring touch and it will be upto Gilberto to make sure that he doesnt make those runs into the box, supporting the striker.
Knowing how Arsenal play away from home nowadays, i am not going to make any predictions.

Finally..we get Walcott

Finally, we get theo.
Lets see if he s really as good as they are saying.

Borugh thrashing and signings

Boy o boy! The thrashing of borough was just awesome. Too bad we didnt get 10 though. The ESPN folks messed it up again and showed Premier hockey league. How do i tell them that i dont give a shit about Hyderabad sultans or Maraths warriors or any of those maniacs.
Anyways, i atleast managed to see the goals and Hleb finally scored...another few games and he would have started to get the same attention as crouch. Henry s volley was awesome, Pires s half glide half chip was delightful and Gilberto s goal was a fluke. Borough were murdered in what was a big embarassment for Mclaren. Hope we can murder Everton too this weekend. Last time the 2 temas met the gunners won 7 nil.
We can all talk about chelsea and manu and liverpool and spurs but scoring 7 goals is something that only the gunners can achieve and its an awesome feat.
Emmanuel Adebayor and Vassiriki Diaby have arrived in an attmept to bolster the squad. And the drama over who signs Walcott continues .I am hoping that he has seen what has happened to SWP and makes the correct decision of coming to Arsenal.
There is also constant talk linking us with Rosicky, Samaras, Alou Diarra and Ya Ya Toure. I ll like to see Rosicky at Arsenal cos he is a very good player and he will add the depth that has been lacking in the squad.

Red Devils at home

Forget the North London Derby, or for that matter any other london derbies this is the one match we want to win. After the fraca at OT 2 seasons back, the competition has intensified.SAF has already started the mind games, which is nothing unusual. I just hope that Wenger doesnt retaliate as he is in enough trouble with the F.A. as it is. Manu definitely go into this match as favourites and i for 1 wil be happy if the gunners come out with 1 point. I expect Rooney to drfit wide to the flank with ronaldo and give lauren a tough time.Cygan is suspended and that ll mean that Senderos might have to come in at left back. Scholes will try to go forward as he normally does and i have a feeling that he might score. Lauren has to make sure that he doesnt get caught in possession high up the pitch as ronaldo might exploit that like he did last season.
For Arsenal, the key will be to have good possession and attack Silvestre and Ferdinand who are as suspect as the Arsenal defense. I also expect Reyes to start on the left flank and in all probability he ll scare the shit out of Neville and make him sweat.
I will not be able to watch this game but i expect a good contest between 2 sides that have been at loggerheads in the recent past and there is more than 3 points at stake.
