Sick Of Hoping Arsenal Wins Something

Someone just told me the other day that it is easier to be a Liverpool fan. They have kind of resigned themselves to the fact that they really aren't going to win matches regularly and the league is a pipe dream.


You see, if Arsenal were just pretty shit all the time then it would feel better. You know that you aren't going to win anything so you make sure you stack up the pints while eyeing the lovely waitress serving because she is the one you will be fantasising about when you are doing it with the missus later.

I'm not them but I know the feeling
But no. Arsenal actually play some really good football and they make you believe that the world is not such a bad place after all. That beauty can come from the most ugly places and stare at you in the eye. Only thing is that in this instance there is a pong that is coming. It is like you eyeing that girl in the kombi (public transport) ride home and she sits next to you. She is hot. She smiles at you. Then the hwindi's(tout's) armpit is in your face.

The fact of the matter is Arsene Wenger would probably get a lot more things right if Arsenal as an institution knew what it was doing. Tomorrow we take on QPR and chances are that I am going to sit in some pub in Harare and good ol' Santi Cazorla will smack that team like a thief in Mbare or I am going to have drown my sorrows with a night that will turn into a blur.

Whatever it is, Arsenal has to decide now. They really have to stop flirting with us, thinking the night is going to turn into some sort of debauchery only to disappear with a friend and leave us with a bill.
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 ...
