Life’s too short to stay sober

For all the angry Gooners out there, have lots of chocolate. I hear chocolate releases endorphins which tells your mind to be happy because it's better to be artificially induced to be happy instead of living in the aftermath of yesterday's defeat.

I could list a dozen players who could have changed the team but it would be impossible for them to even walk through the doors because we have the world's most stubborn manager. He threw the FA Cup away on the pretext of making the league top priority and look where we are now. The league could be out of reach by next Thursday and then there's only the European Cup left and chances are, that hope may well be screwed over soon.

Wenger claims that there is a lack of quality players for the right amount of money but seriously, he has the options and the possibilities but simply placed all his trust in his players who have done him ZERO justice at all.

1) Eidur Gudjohnson
He's a fucking striker with loads of experience playing for top sides like Chelsea and Barcelona. Available on short term loan. Gone to Sp*rs who happen to already have 4 strikers - Crouch, Defoe, Keane and Pavlyuchenko. how so that they happen to all be FIT? Gudjohnson has the ability still, to make a good contribution, even at 31. If Wenger always had protecting his players in mind, then a short term loan won't kill the talent he thinks he's nurturing.

2) Landon Donavan
Unproven at best, but a hit in the US. Sometimes it helps to take small risks that actually can amount to a big step. Is doing well for Everton. And he too, is a fucking striker.

3) Roman Pavlyuchenko
Disgruntled at Sp*rs. Cost them a fortune. May never be allowed to put on an Arsenal shirt but I doubt he ever caught onto the North London Rivalry since he came. Is Russian Teammates with Arshavin and too, a fucking striker. Has been a flop for Sp*rs but may do well for Arsenal. Moans a lot. Has been moaning about his lack of opportunities at Sp*rs. If we showed interest and he knows it he could have moaned his way to the better side of North London.

4) Ryan Babel
Yet another disgruntled player, this time at Liverpool. Is still young with potential and pace that can kill. Was that stinkin diver who caused us that Champion's League exit 2 seasons ago but if you remember that game, stinkin Bendtner blocked the path of a certain goal and he's still in an Arsenal shirt. He may not be an out and out striker but he certainly will make Arsenal better and fit our style of play perfectly. Wenger actually was looking at him too before he signed for Liverpool and recent pitch troubles have seen him wanting out and Birmingham wants him. If Arsenal showed the slightest interest I'm sure he'll be Arsenal bound instead, even if Liverpool don't want to sell. He makes a lot of noise on twitter. Could do a Darren Bent.

5) Marouane Chamakh
screw this fellow. Rose to fame with Arsenal's interest but then chooses to stay at Bordeaux. Good for him. Probably need 6 months to settle and his goal return in the FRENCH league isn't impressive at all.

6) David Villa
Looking for a new challenge, possibly in the Premier League. Spanish connecting with Cesc Fabregas, best mates off the pitch. That understanding between playmaker and striker is ever so important and if he had come, he would be able to make a big impact. Cesc cited Villa as the one player he wants to come most to Arsenal but of course, too expensive so Wenger never bothered pursuing.

And oh, he's a fucking striker too.

7) Andre Pierre Gignac
Performing well for the French team. Good goal return in the French league. Is a fucking striker. Possesses good physique (I mean height here). Don't really know a lot about him except that he's on Wenger's radar but Wenger ain't making a damn move for him coz he's yet another expensive fellow.

Bottomline: last season, it was all about not replacing the outgoing players. We lost Diarra, Gilberto and Flamini who happen to play the same holding midfielder position. Half a season later, Song stepped up and has been phenomenal this season. That part is solved, except the part where he's so damn good now he's irreplaceable when gone. Diaby did fill in nicely but you can't depend on Diaby to stay fit for prolonged periods of time. Denilson on the other hand, is a prick. It's obvious that the boss loves him a lot ever since he signed for us at 18. Has risen through the ranks and has been a first team regular for a long time. If laziness is a bug, then it jumped from Adebayor to Denilson with Adebayor departed. Like I said before, this little fucker is a lousy holding midfielder. He's crappy going forward too and you won't expect him to dictate play. So what is his purpose exactly?

We made a lot of mistakes and went through a lot to give Song time to be the player he is now. Are we going to keep going through these motions for each player to mature? We'd never see or even smell a trophy for the next 10 years. Then maybe they'll get better and then attract the attention of the Spanish wankers and leave. Wenger will be licking his lips in satisfaction with all the money in the bank and look at the team he has left. Their current state is nothing short of shambolic and quite frankly, I think Arshavin should be quite sick of playing for a club with no ambition. Last club during the peak of his career and he chose Arsenal. Sure does look stupid now.

Then there is Cesc. We need magic from the little maestro but it didn't happen but he was trying. He was trying when the rest were busy slacking off. He was making forward runs and trying his hardest to make things happen but they didn't. He desperately wants to win things and with the kind of team he is in, he is better off playing for the Spanish wankers really. We can't blame him if he makes that choice.

The saying is that Arsene knows. Does he really? Mistakes are made so that you can learn from them. In his case, the mistakes prevail. Can't ask for a win at Stamford bridge. We only can ask for a performance. If the team loses but they put in a great shift then there is no blame. It sure looks like there is no more fight in this team that is desperate for a major shake up to move forward.

They're not getting any and hence have to dig real deep to get something going. It seems like an angry Wenger only lasts 10 games. He should start dropping players to show that he means business, starting with Almunia and Denilson.

I listed 7 strikers that could have made the switch to Arsenal. the first 2 have been snapped up by people who saw a little further than what Wenger could have seen. There were options he had. He just simply dismissed them as too expensive. Spend the money, make a difference. At the end of the season, even if you don't end up with a fucking trophy you won't be faulted for not trying when you could have made a difference. Keeping money in the fuckin bank ain't going to win you anything for being the world's greatest miser. This is the statement of intent we will never get. Sit atop the league for 3 days and you think you've won it. He anticipated these 4 difficult games and was making plans early on. I guess he never expected that kind of result at home to United. We're halfway through the 4. It would take nothing short of a fuckin miracle to turn things around with the same group of numb shites in the team. Desire. where has it all gone to?

Lastly, with respect to our goalkeeping situation, Gigi Buffon has stated that he is under appreciated at Juve. One bold move to take a world class keeper to the Emirates could change everything. United moved for Van Der Sar. We could do with Buffon.
