Arsene Wenger has said we lack belief and not form, I believe it’s the other way around, our belief is awesome, we came back from defeat in 3 of the last four games and against Villa and Middlesbrough we did it with minutes to spare.
Let’s try fighting from the off from now on in, you know, the stick Arsene.
The Mancs were seriously lucky, even the Derby fans were singing ‘can we play you every week’.
The problem has been certain players can’t lift themselves for the games against lower opposition, like last season.
Wenger needs the big stick now, tell the boys they are the best and get stuck in, this is the Premiership they’re fighting for, go fight.
We, on our day, are the best in the world, now it’s time to show it.
I’m glad we have the tough games coming up, when we play better teams, they play to win, we just do it better, against Middlesbrough the only time they came out was for their offside goal, the Chavs, Mancs and hubcap stealers will come out to play and that’s when we’ll get them.
We spent the weekend bitching and you all got it off your chests, this week will be about getting behind the team and talking about winning our league title.
After all ‘Arsene knows’ right??
Yesterday there were a lot of emotional posts from you guys, a lot of great comments but sadly quite a few had to be binned. The way we moderate the comments section has now been put here. I think if a comment would be deemed unacceptable to say in a local pub or amongst friends then why should it become acceptable under the guise of anonymity on a blog?
Of course some of you would say these bad things to people in a pub and amongst friends… but people who their call friends or random people cunts to their faces for saying something they disagree are the type of people that generally drink alone in the pub.
Anyway, good blogging yesterday Grovers, let’s now all see how we can ruin the Chavs home record this week, after all we’ll be the rested team, that is of course unless we play the New York Giants or something midweek!
Give us your team ideas, you know the boss reads this blog.
Positive, positive, positive this week!
So Aliadiere is an Arsenal fan and wants us to win the league, I think I’m pleased!
i believe in arsene. he knows. we have trust in him.
geoff – are you using yahoo answers? i think i met u there
chelsea this week. they are unbeaten in 4 years or so. we were the last team to beat then remember?????
CMON ARSENAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
well said this morning, time to re focus on the game coming and play well in all the remaning games,
I wish i could get my chin up but i am immensely disappointed.
Sorry guys.
yea.. well sed, lets get behind the team, weve been playin alot of mediocre teams who only seem to want to nick a point off us.. they are just pothetic. These smaller teams know they cant beat us, so they dont bother attackin us.. its a shame for us who have to watch the game!!
Neway, we will come good, i dont think we are lackin belief, but these draws cant help obviously.. i expect an all out display at Chelski, i really fancy us, but this is a very important game for me, probably the most important game of our season next to the Milan game.
come on u gooners…!!!!!!!
Morning all!
I have been having a chat with my boss about the gooners today, and if he can be positive, then so can I!
Its still all to play for and if you flip the situation round in your head it makes for better reading!
Say we were 6 points behind the mancs and we just closed it to 3 points this weekend! You’d fance your chances right?
We’re only so depressed because we think we’ll draw all our games heading in!
Good post, I am feeling better today!
I had a bit of a fuck up on the news now geoff! It posted by accident and it wasn’t published… it’ll be slow today anyway…
COME ON YOU GOONERS!
Gotta keep the faith: we’re bang in the mix for the title despite iffy results. This team can win, just needs to remember how. Oh, and RvP needs to remember how to score. That will happen, hopefully against the Chavs on Sunday. When he does, be afraid
As I said yesterday (v late tho) I think positive changes to the team would be Ade and Eboue dropped and Big Balls and Theo on, but there seems to be a scooby’s chance of that. Of course he may go 4-5-1 at Chav Central (new official name) with Hleb taking that effective role as an auxilary striker. Ade leading the line? As inconsistent and poor as he can be, he does have a habit of scoring important goals.
Going to be a long wait until Sunday
Arsenal, what are Yahoo answers? good point Pedro if we were 3 points behind we would be confident, so time for the boys to step up to the plate.
where is everyone today?
I think many people are in mourning today geoff!
Its very quiet everywhere!
Tony Adams says we were mugs to sell Diarra!
bank hoilday for me, beer beer beer,
Bank holiday? where are you Chris?
happy saint patricks day!!!
Is that what it is, no wonder it’s quiet!
HEY HEADS UP GOONERS!
We are GOOD enough to win our last 4 games of the season which are relatively easy games. All we have to do is get some big points from these first 4.
Win at Chav town, win at the DevilBowl. These teams will come out to beat us and we have to use that space left in behind. AND TAKE FECKIN CHANCES!
4-5-1 for Sunday?
I like Hleb in behind Ade, and RVP on the left and I would get Theo to run at them, turn defenders around and allow us to get into the box. He’s in good form at the moment, Eboue couldn’t fill in a form at the moment.
Central Midfield of Cesc, Flamster and Diaby if fit…Gilberto can give eboue a hand with that form…
Sorry I am late mates -got on early in Spain but geoff hadnt posted -another one of those days when Mrs geoffs wouldnt let you out of bed ehhh!!!!
positivety is infectious and likewise the opposite -I wonder what would have happened if we didnt get the equaliser so agree with you negative thoughts bring negative outcomes -so up beat from here on in
Good posting Theo as Le Champ-I could see a real big difference in the short time he was on lets hope Theo starts from off .
Dont forget its st patricks day and as Im of Irish descendancy thought an Irish Joke was appropriate
Best Irish Bar in the world
Three mates having a drink
The first says: “Aye, this is a nice bar, but where I come from, there’s a better one. At MacDougal’s, you buy a drink, you buy another drink, and MacDougal himself will buy your third drink!”
The second then starts: “That sounds like a nice bar, but where I come from, there’s a better one called Quinns. At Quinns, you buy a drink, Quinn buys you a drink. You buy another drink, Quinn buys you another drink.”
Then the third pipes up. “You think that’s good? Where I come from, there’s this place called Murphy’s. At Murphy’s, they buy you your first drink, they buy you your second drink, they buy you your third drink, and then, they take you in the back and get you laid!”
“Wow!” say the other two. “That sounds fantastic! Did that actually happen to you?” “No,” replies their friend, “but it happened to my sister!”
Pedro forgive me for posting it here but as its a quiet day thought that would be OK ?
oh yeah and good on yer for posting the Legrove rules suspect it wont do any good cos theyre the type that dont really read stuff they just wanna slag people off -Its worth the try though .What is encouraging is the number of new guys posting now -Whats happened to the regulars ?-expect Steves sorting out the Usa Banking crash and O´Dub must be Irish and celebrating ehh
Always a quiet day when I’m off and can actually post.
Nice of big Tone to say that when we’re down, but the facts remain: one Diarra is a cunt, irrespective of his footballing ability and two it was Diarra or Flamini. Make your choice
That said, we may lose Flam too. Then we’ll look stupid
Nice joke Mike and very Irish, I think everyone must have had a rough Sunday!
I haven’t read it Jimmy, but what I can say judging by your comment is Diarra wouldn’t have added anything to our challenge. Leaking goals isn’t the problem… scoring them is!
I think its all gone down hill since the mancs hammered us. What a mistake that was!
Will we sort it on Sunday? I have a suspicion we might, Avram doesn’t have the Midas touch Moanrinho did.
Don’t give the credit to the Mancs, because they’re already gllefully taking it. Yes it was stupid fielding a weakened side at OT and getting hammered but I think Marton Taylor and that late goal at Brum that has a lot more to do with our current malaise.
Which wasn’t of course present in Milan. Our problem is Premiership sides have figured us out, and have done since that second half at Villa. The combination of that and injuries have properly fucked us. We need Plan A to be back on song, but also the Plan B we saw away at Everton and maybe a Plan C thrown in for good luck (hit ‘em). Plus we need to show real heart. We’ll be a different team against Chelsea: they won’t be sitting back and defending, and they’ll be at home. We need to use this opportunity to get heads up against. If we can beat Milan in Milan, we can beat anyone
Hello chaps, sorry I’ve not been on it’s all been a bit mental here. What with recessions, bank crashing yanks and my Arsenal taking a turn for the shit I’m struggling to be positive at the moment. I can’t remember the last time I left the fucking stadium with a smile on my face.
Now you’d rather I’d stayed away don’t you??
Its all about dealing with this together!
It honestly feels like every time I write something on here its negative?
Its hard to be positive when the team look out of ideas. When the mancs lost to Portsmouth it was because they missed about a million sitters. We’re not even doing that… we’re drawing deservedly.
Sunday is make or break so that should spur the boys on… its about time the Chavs lost that record and its about time Arsenal broke it.
I don’t think talking about how great the mancs are will solve anything… if they were that great they’d be more than potentially 3 points a head of us. The reality is that we should still be 5 points clear of them… watching the lead diminish slowly over 4 games is killing me!
In fairness Derby (the worst Premiership side i’ve ever seen) were very unlucky not be be 2 goals up against them at the weekend.
1. Adebayor is woeful; strong, yes, quick, maybe, but every other facet of his game is not even League 2 standard, worst touch, terrible passing and embarrassing finishing. Don’t care how many goals he has scored this year – Drogba, Anelka, Torres, Santa Cruz, Berbatov, Keane, Defoe, Yakubu would’ve scored way more in this Arsenal team. He is holding us back. Bendtner should be up there.
2. This squad is about 4/5 players light. I mean players not kids. We need a top keeper, a proper winger, a good CM to cover FAF (Diarra would’ve been good), a goalscorer in the Torres mould and an attacking midfielder who can play wide or through the middle (we used to have a player called Rosicky, some of you may have memories that stretch back far enough to remember him). People on this page who have dared to suggest our team/squad is comparable to United’s is living in a dreamworld.
3. Our 1st team are not aggressive or strong enough to kill off teams. Too intricate, too faffy and too many passes. Yes Boro stuck 10 men behind the ball at all times but big surprise, teams have done that against Arsenal and United for years but we struggle with it more than united – we do not have players willing to take the shot on from outside the box, the only true striker of the ball we have is RVP compared to Tevez, Rooney, Ronaldo, Scholes, Hargreaves at United. We seem only capable of scoring once we have exchanged 11 passes inside the penalty area. Oh and also I don’t think Alex Hleb is allowed to shoot. Ever. That man would pass a fucking penalty.
4. AW is not up to the pressure at the moment. So much for the squad being in transition, I think Wenger is. The man has been superb for Arsenal and has made us all proud of the way we play, but this is not the 1st time he has imploded under the pressure of a title charge. He is stubborn and needs help. His lack of ability to drop players who are clearly shit is so upsetting ( Gilberto, Eboue, Adebayor, Diaby ).
5. Our injury situation is ridiculous and must be something to do with our training methods. Injury prone players are worthless. Rosicky should be shipped as should RVP if he picks up 1 more injury until the end of the season.
That’ll do.
Oh sorry…positive today…..oh right…..erm……Spuds lost???
Other than that don’t really have much else to be cheery about right now. I am actually sitting here trying to think of a positive. Oh got one. Van Persie came through unscathed and looks like he might be coming back at the right time. Yay.
Bout time because that waste of space adebayor needs someone to educate him on how to play football. Sorry, sorry, that was negative. Just wish we had a match winning superstar like we did a few seasons back. Thierry Henry and RP7 would’ve shredded Boro apart, either through incisive passing or TH would’ve shifted it from outside the box and burst one through Swarzer’s net. Anyone know a current Arsenal player who is capable of doing that?
No me either.
Flamini should shoot more, he has a rasper on him.
Arsenal will have to put a great turnaround and performance againts chelsea and win if they want to win the title..but sad to say i think it will end up the most a draw for us and Man Utd will beat Liverpool up.
It will be a race to finish second by next week betweem us and chelsea i guess..shit!
I just pray and hope Arsenal win the game againts Chavs and carry on the form in the remaining games..im not concerned about CL at all, we doing great there. And I will take EPL title ahead of CL at anytime.
ARSENAL ROCKS!!
Come on our team is doing better than anyone thought they will at the start of the season.
And besides, we all know that ManUre was supposed to tie the Derby game, until a disgraceful assistant ref. failed to spot Rooney offside. So they should be one behind us. Our piece of luck will come Sunday, and I’m excited.
I reckon the flamster wont shoot until theres a sign behind the opposition goal that says loadsamoney -thatll give him something to shoot at !
My god… completely off the subject…
Heather Mills after being awarded £24 million (Her 4 daughter gets £35k a year salary as well):
“Beatrice only gets £35,000 a year – so obviously she’s meant to travel B class while her father travels A class, but obviously I will pay for that.”
The cheek of the bitch?
Pedro she is an infant -and her school fees and the nanny are being paid in addition
I´m sure heathers pissed cos she didnt get her leg over and Paul told her to hop it !
..yeah and the judge docked her half a million quid cos she over spent during the separation -Even Mrs Mike couldnt spend that easily however Mrs Mikes credit card was stolen and I let the thief keep it cos he spent less than her
maybe arsenal should put heather behind the oppositions goal -I bet every member of the team would shoot then including Almunia
Got fuck all to say, the problems we have a clear enough.
But we are still in their fighitng for the title and the champs league.
Aint all that bad!! You could be a spuds fan.
without getting you into a less positive mood stupid has your telegraph mate given up on the flamini United rumour ?????
Don’t mike… that upsets me greatly when you talk of such horrific things…
The thought of heather mills shagging makes me almost as ill as picturing the Flamster in a Manc shirt!
Which would you rather watch? Its a tough one… haha!
£35k a year at 4! What a spoilt little girl she’s going to grow up into!
It’s good to see everyone has come back to their senses now and thinking positively about the team.It’s not yet over until it’s over.We can even win the league in the 38th match.So let’s get behind the team and not talking only of negatives when things are not going well for us.
No one was posting negative comments on Ade when he scored in Milan and he has scored good goals in all matches we’ve played against spurs.We all know what he can do when he’s on fire.He’s just had a dip in form and will prove you all wrong in future.
WE SHOULD STOP CONCEADING 1ST GOAL everytime.That’s costing us dearly.
We broke milan’s record and we’re going to do the same to chelsea.
And why are we talking about H. Mills here,maybe this is why Villa wankers are singing stupid songs.
Let’s stay positive and have belief,Arsene knows and in him we trust.
The reality is we have only lost one game and manure has lost 4?
Statistically that is 3% against Manures 14%. That means arsenal will loose 0.24% of games between now and the rest of the season and Manure will loose 1.24%
what does this tell us
you’re a geek?
mike – the flamini rumour has not gone away.
my mate has been on hols with his family in dubai, will catch up with him when he is back this weekend.
hey guys, sorry about the lack of blogging from OZ this last week, i have found it hard to get inspired!
If we beat Chavski and Scum United we’re back!
gone are the days when we’d score at least 2 goals in the opening half hour & looked to add on to the goals as we finish the game.
rvp will come good soon, i can feel it in my bones.
