Wenger, Wenger, Wenger

There is a lot of speculation doing the rounds saying le Boss will be leaving the club unless David Dein is back. Well that would be disappointing and would show a lack of ambition on his part. Look at it this way, if your boss was fired for under-handed dealing, and you had a clear path to his position, would you really think of leaving just because your boss is not there? And I dont think Arsene is that dumb. All that trash about Henry leaving being another push factor. I am sure that Arsene has worked with a few players in his life and that he can work with a lot more of them. So what do I say? It's all a bunch of codswallop and whoever is going around wrting these articles ought to be shot. Just like that Barca suit who is going around gloating over the signing of Henry which sounds a bit ridiculous and lacks class on whatever level you look at it from. But then again... who cares. Arsenal will be fine.

Henry leaves the building

After spending eight years looking at himself in the mirror and posing a few camera takes while scoring a goal or 200+ Thierry Henry has left the building. Now before I even talk about why he has left I would like to thank him for the moments. He was a gentleman and in the invincibles team, he was a star who thrilled and amazed many fans and not just the Arsenal fans. We loved him and we will always have a special place for him in our hearts. But as I said he was an integral part of the invincibles and that cast a huge pall over the next version of the Arsenal. While Vieira was able to go through teh different phases, Henry and his narcissist attitiude was eventually no good for the team. He complained too much, sulked too much, and generally did all the things that leadership is not about. Arsene Wenger I think, would have sold him in February if he could. He simply got fed up with Henry's antics and to be fair so did teh Arsenal fans. But that is my humble opinion and I think th...

The obsession with Arsenal

So is the media really obsessed with Arsenal? I mean when we had Vieira he was leaving every minute and now that he is gone Henry is leaving everytime. I mean there is not much to read from Henry's comments. He was making comments which I am not sure he should be making as captain of the club, especially one with so many kids in it. It unsettles a lot of people but then again if he came out and said that the twist was not correct then he would have many dogs barking to kick. So I say like Gallas says, if he wants to bugger off then by all means let him fuck off. If not then the Arsenal haters viz a viz idiots like Marca and their lot need to fuck off

The silly season

I suppose I have to say who I think Arsene should be buying even though I am he couldn't care less what my opinion was. Personally I think he needs to get a coach. Because whichever player comes to Arsenal will be taught the Arsenal way which is to do everything but score. So a coach who teaches players to finish would be in order. Van Persie is a direct player who showed that he can finish quite effectively, gracefully, cleverly and all we need is someone to teach the lot that is up front how to do it more often than they try to pass. If I have to think playing staff I am not sure anything other than a super-talent would add anything to Arsenal. Eto'o? He is a problem child and having two players upfront going to the Africa Cup of Nations every two years is a headache. It's bad enough that we have the Ivory Coast boys going and by the looks of their qualifying group they are on their way there. But having said that I would say that he would be interesting. Anelka? I don...
