How much longer? and Mr Usmanov

It must be said first and foremost, that I care very little for who owns the club because that is a matter best left to Londoners and those who live in the north London area to be precise. It is their team and they are best place to provide all the arguments for the issue.

It is my candid view however that Arsenal may need to keep a leash on the chairman who says a lot of things that the club might need to climb down from. When Usmanov bought shares in the club they might have been better off not saying anything altogether but rather engaging the Russian in private. From what I have heard about him, the noise has not been too good so perhaps the best thing to do with him would be to keep quiet or else you are liable to lose anyway.

Unless of course the noise is meant to push the price up and the lot want to sell anyway

But that's that.

The team is playing really well. Kicking the pub team last night was not much of a feat, but it was 3 points and much like Zimbabwe cricket team these are not kids anymore. They have a lot of games under their belts and the only thing young about them is that some of them can't have a pint in USA.

But how long will this run go? Is it worth debating? No because they could lose against Sunderland this weekend and in the grand scheme of things it might mean nothing... Or mean everything. But it is sport, everything it is meant to be enjoyed and for now we will celebrate the form of this young side.

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 ...
