Life’s too short to stay sober

The transfer shit is starting.

Mr Andrey Arshavin has decided to voice his discontent at being played on the left.

hahaha. srsly.

How many central attacking players do we have whom Wenger has forced onto the wings? There Theo, who Wenger still deems as a striker but um, is playing on the right wing. He sort of like to do his Thierry Henry esque education where they start out on the wings first and then become the striker they were born to be.

Not the case for Nasri though. This dude definitely prefer the coveted central attacking role in the hole behind the striker. And then we had Hleb, who was also more of a central player than anything.

Everyone wants to play in the hole don't they?

And guess who Arsene Wenger puts there?

CESC FABREGAS.

Who doesn't want to be in the hole. Or shouldn't be in the hole. Geez. There isn't such thing as your wish is my command in Wenger's books, is there?

And then force Arsha on the left when he is more effective playing off the striker. Wenger seems to love 4-5-1 instead of a 4-4-2 we all love so much more so if he wants to play a damn )*$&#*$)&#&* 4-5-1, at least play the right players in the hole. And of course, I have to insert 'please sell Adebayor for a more committed and hardworking frontman'.

We've got good quality players but he chooses to play them waaaaaaaaaay out of position and it's pissing me off. Not to mention his faith in Abou Diaby who really sucks in more ways than one. And we all know he's not going to leave in the summer.

RVP has called for everyone to stay.

I want Adebayor and Diaby out of sight forever.

So, apparently Arsha overlooked Nasri who has been playing on the left more often than not and recommends Arsenal sign fellow Russian Yuri Zhirkov to fill in there. I guess Nasri has fully converted into a defensive midfielder and is thorougly established there. But anyway, we never get whatever we wish for at Arsenal so he should know that too. He said that the decision of whether to come to Arsenal rested upon Zhirkov's intentions to move. He got that really wrong. It rests on Arsene Wenger if he wants to open the chequebook and spend big, which he has said he won't.

And it's splashed all over the feeds on Newsnow and I want to destroy something.

Cesc wanted David Villa. Cesc then wanted Xabi Alonso. Now Arsha wants Zhirkov.

And all these will fall on death ears.

They should know better.

Another player lost that lovin feeling, not exactly in the same way Tevez has. Kolo spoke again about leaving when the team was performing badly and his form wasn't what it was supposed to be. It's kinda sounds like bailing on a sinking ship. He nows considers himself an Arsenal man forl life even if he doesn't end his career here. Nice U-turn. If he needs to constantly feel loved he should turn to the fans really. Anyway, I have to comment on the terror of a U-turn again from Adebayor. Yes. Please leave. The whole Arsenal made me, I can't leave shit is pissing me off everything I think of it. Go to Milan. That club is rich in history and whatever but it's really not up to past standards so go and rot there like what Flamini is doing.

Somehow I don't blame him for leaving. He was at the Emirates for the 2nd leg of the semis with dreaded David Beckham and he looked well. I mean, sometimes you can't fault a player who gave up $55,000 a week for $80,000 a week. He was never going to get that at Arsenal, at least at that point in time. Football for people like Kaka is more than money but for some people it isn't the case. I'm not flaming flam here. Just understanding. If I were in his situation I would think twice. Or maybe threaten to want to sign for Liverpool or Sp*rs to get my way and in the process incur the wrath of Arsenal fans. It just shows how passionate we are. Overly emotionally involved with the team I tell you, unlike fans of Manchester United, who really don't give much of a fuck if Tevez makes the switch for their fierce Merseyside rivals.

Another piece of news which pissed me off is the whole quota thing. Now seriously. I would like to think that Arsenal will have completely no trouble at all adhering to it since Fabregas can be considered to be home grown since their definition of home grown is the player being registered 3 years before he turns 21. They want at least 4 of these players in the match squads, not the starting line-up. It is hardly the end of the world really, because we do have a wonderful academy. The problem? It will affect our transfer plans. If Wenger signs an 18-year old to boost our squad I will cry. And then he will have the license to continue his obsession with average age of the squad.

That aside, since it's not the starting line-up where these lame things have to be enforced, then the young ones can warm their bums on the bench with no problem at all. Brings a whole new level to benchwarmers.

I suspect this will be implemented next season. Last season they increased the number of substitutes from 5 to 7. This time they want another major change to have 4 home-grown players in the squad. This one completely unnecessary. It'll just increase child trafficking from a young age ahaha.

Anyway, here's a brief list of our HG players, i.e. joined 3 years before turning 21:
1) Cesc Fabregas
2) Alex Song
3) Senderos (assuming he comes back :O)
4) Djourou
5) Traore (assuming he comes back as well >:O)
6) Theo's bff Gael
7) Gibbs
8) Vela
9) Theo of course since bff Gael is in
10) Rambo
11) Denilson
12) Nicky with pants up

So we really have no problem with this additional rule and we have the boss to thank. If he could look at it from a different angle, like they are all younglings still developing and there is plenty of room for experienced players to come in. Screw the damn average age thing. You don't win anything with that feel-good factor. Football is about winning.

Please put together a winning squad MR BOSS.
