Oh they just went for a walk at Old Trafford

Oh Arsenal, what a beautiful thing that was. I just had a feeling we had the right hunger coupled with things falling into place... The whole side, Oh my did they have a work rate or what. Cashley Cow had something to say about the team's lack of commitment in the little rag he calls a book. Err mate even Jose Reyes said there was nothing wrong with spirit and he is the biggest sulker since Le Sulk aka Nic Anelka.

Did you see the way they fought, Rosicky, Adebayor, Hleb, Ljunberg, and of course the amazing Fabregas. But I have said enough of him... How about Toure mate? I mean he was a warrior extraodinaire. He went in for the last ditch tackles, and even when he looked in pain he was fighting like cor... It felt so good... Rooney was kept out of it. that is how good that match was...

Rooney looked out of sorts. I reckon he was enjoying watching the Arsenal lads knocking about too much. And astute a man as Fergie can be he decided to take him off and let hime watch from the bench...

And my last word, for Jens Lehmann, that save in the final moments... amazing
I apply genius wherever it is needed.

Arsene Wenger

The first time I heard he was joining Arsenal, I didnt bat an eyelid. Mind you I was preparing for my O Level exams at the time and let's face it, the Arsenal were not setting the stage alight so who would blame them for signing some French fella. I joked that maybe they figured they needed someone with a name as close to Arsenal as possible. Little did I know the effect he would have on the team. I am not sure there is anything I can say that hasnt been already said in the last week or two about the impact he has had on Arsenal, english, european and dare I say world football. One qualify world football on the basis of how many teams actually want to do things the Arsenal way. And it is all encapsulated in one man, Arsene Wenger. Even here in Zimbabwe you have teams trying to model themselves on the Arsenal system, on and off the pitch and it reaps rewards for them, the national coach is a brilliant example of that. Personally, I am humbled. I can not point out one moment of magic...

Maybe Arsenal need to practice shooting

I dont think there is a team that creates as many chances as Arsenal in the Premiership. So much so I think if we got one player who had the slightest interest in scoring we would be sending many teams down. But alas we create the chances and we are left wondering about what cvould have been. Arsene blames it on naivety but in all fairness Arsenal have been guilty of the self same thing for a while now. Sometimes you just need to score said Thierry Henry. So why dont you just score mate? Entertainment is all very well but being so far behind the chavs and the mancs is isnt fun either. I know they will get it but hopefully we wont be too far behind to make a difference. On yesterday's peformances two players did particularly well for me. Hleb and Flamini. Flamini worked in that role tirelessly in the middle and Hleb is becoming a real threat almost everytime we play. Now you simply cant leave him out... Congratulations fto Robinson on the England win... Canct wauit for the Ashes..

What we all really knew

Thierry Henry has pledged his future to Arsenal. I said in a recent post that it all came down to whether he believed that he was the right man to lead the team into the next version of Arsenal. And he proved me right by making to very important points, that he wantede to lead the team into the new stadium and more importantly was staying to build the team into one of the strongest in Europe. Obviously he heard something he liked from the gaffer otherwise he wouldnt have bothered. And most importantly he sees something in these kids and the tone of his post-match conferences and media releases seem to show he has confidence in the lads and that he believes they wull grow up very quickly. He should be live they will be ready soon otherwise at his age he might have felt he would run out of time before they were ripe. Perhaps this could be the turn-around point of Arsenal's season because you began to get the feeling that the team was not sure of the leader of the team. They were too ...
