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.Labels: Andrei Arshavin, Cesc Fabregas, Diaby, Emmanuel Adebayor, one of my many theories

Bahaha.
I would be lying if I said I didn't care if Arsenal didn't win tonight. The game finished an amazing 4-4 at Anfield and we actually looked like winning except that our defence is porous and leaky hence the scoreline.
But what the hell. For us, we'll take that point. It puts Villa 8 points behind us. It is still a massive point. Would be wonderful if we had 3 plus bragging rights but I'm sure we would have it anyway.
Liverpool for all their domination, never really looked like winning. They are yet another pack of cunts with all their long ball whatevers and it's basic instinct that when their defenders get the ball, it's pumped straight up field.
So in your faces long ball cunts! You get 1 miserly point!
HAHAHAHA.
ARSHAVIN 4 REINA 0 LOLOLOLOLOLOLS.
And Bendtner had a goal wrongly ruled out for offside.
Anyway now I can say from the bottom of my heart that it's ok that Arsenal didn't win. I had such a fantastic time watching the game and I hope 4-5-1 with Denilson and Diaby in it is rubbish. Diaby coming on for Bendtner was a mistake. Once again, that person was tasked with defending the lead but did he? Isn't that enough to show that he doesn't even deserve to come on as a sub?
And the game turned in Arsenal's favour when Denilson came off for Walcott. The questions which should be asked is why couldn't we just play a simple 4-4-2 with Song in midfield with Fabregas, Nasri and Walcott flanking with Arshavin in the support striker role to Bendtner?
WHY?
Isn't it obvious that it's a system which works?
And the dude who was made to sit 75 minutes on the bench shows why he should be picked for the team every single time. Not 1 not 2 not 3 but 4 freakin goals.
FOUR! FOUR WORLD CLASS FINISHES!
Good enough to be in the starting line-up yeah? Instead of Denilson or Diaby. I really hate those two. I know the big purpose of them but seriously, they don't happen to fulfill what they're supposed to do and exposing the defence.
That's it for now. I'm going to continue laughing my ass off.
AND TORRES, THE MIGHTY TORRES, PALED IN COMPARISON TO ARSHAVIN. The Torres who played the ball into his own stupid face and backs into Silvestre from the impact looking for the foul. Like whaaaaaat?Labels: Arshavin, Denilson, Diaby, Liverpool
A Little Drunken Madness @ 4:58 AM
It is hard to admit, but Chelsea were the better side...
..in terms of how they play their long balls? Teams with no balls play long balls 99% of the time. That is like Liverpool. And some dumbass Chelsea fan can declare that his team plays beautiful football. He is definitely 99% vision compromised.
The blame or 'reason for losing' should not lie with the other team. They do what they can (and srsly, what they only can) to win the game. Now take a good look at our Arsenal team.
Before the game, we knew we were horribly short defensively. For a team in this state, the cliche of attack being the best defense was the key to winning the game. In a cup game like this, the damned purpose is to outscore your opponent, even if it's 10-9, you still win. And look at the team being put out there.
So much for having all the attacking options in the world.
ARSHAVIN ON THE BENCH?!
That fucked me up when they flashed the line-ups. And I see Diaby playing in his place, Diaby who wants to be the next Vieira, Diaby whose position is more central that anything, playing on the left wing where Arshavin is fully adept in. You know, the Arshavin who didn't feature midweek. The fresh Arshavin with that one week break. The dangerous Arshavin who can torment the Chelsea defence.
And then Denilson. When he wasn't named in the starting line-up against Villarreal with Song partnering Cesc, you don't know how happy I was. And then suddenly Song loses his place? Song who most definitely is fantastic as of late. Denilson and all his sideways and back passing. Denilson who got owned by every player in the Chelsea midfield. Denilson who let 80% of his man get past him. And you have Diaby who likes to show off how skillful he is, by attempting a turn but loses the ball. Where he loses the ball is another issue altogether. Like in our own penalty area to Anelka. With Denilson partnering Cesc, you will never see Cesc being freed from defensive duties and getting balls up front more.
How many times must we go through these midfield problems? Finally, Song hits his best ever and is doing the job right - and then he gets dropped, ahead of Denilson whom the manager says isn't getting enough credit from the fans. Quite rightly so? Does he deserve credit?
Theo was amazing. He was doing his thing and causing Cashley all sorts of problems. The Arse fans never fail to boo his every touch which I thought was funny and this loss all but removed all gloating there for the taking when Walcott's goal came off a deflection off Cashley's hand. And I don't think it's ever the factor where when Theo scores we go on to lose to Drogba's winner. In the Carling Cup, what people conveniently forget (dumb Chelsea fans in particular) was that Drogba's equaliser came from an offside position. If it weren't for the official's visual impairment, there wouldn't be a winning goal.
This time, fucking Malouda that cock sucking faggot pushed Cesc in the penalty area and gestured to the ref that it was a dive. Ha?
This is precisely why Chelsea is a team of cunts. And so are their fans.
Silvestre's apparent handball would not escape me yeah. It was up against Drogba's shoulder, which raised and propped his arm up against the ball. Not that I forgive this idiot of a defender. He just totally gave up when the long ball came from Chelshite, exposing birthday boy Fabianski, who evidently, isn't ready. How soon can we get Almunia back? And the rest of our defence?
I'm not even citing our defensive issues as a 'reason for losing'. It's the attacking options all wrong.
CLEARLY.
On the plus side, Gibbs was fantastic. He stood his ground many a times and I can't recall if he ever let his man get past him.
TAKE THAT DENILSON.
SELL HIM.
He had so many chances and Wenger fancies this little fucker ahead of Song who has had fewer chances that him but took them so well JUST TO SIT ON THE BENCH.
Diaby is also a big mess. Before his injury, he was fantastic. After he has came back from injury, he's shit. So, are we supposed to flip a coin and hope for the best?
Forgive me for being pissed but tonight, everything was wrong. Nothing went wrong. Things were induced by these circumstances to be wrong. Things which could beforehand, be influenced to get things right on the night when it freakin matters.
ARSHAVIN ON THE BENCH FOR 75 MINUTES? BIG HUGE ASS GRAVE MISTAKE EVER.
DIABY AND DENILSON ALLOWED TO SCREW UP OUR SECOND LAST TROPHY HOPE?
DIABOLICAL.
And now I look to the next game at Anfield and I wish it'll never come. Will our season always end after an FA Cup defeat? We'll be finding out soon enough. We've got to thank West Ham for drawing with Villa though. We still have 7 points over them.

A Little Drunken Madness @ 2:22 AM
If I knew any better, last night's attempt to watch some football was disastrous. I did catch the front part of Wales vs Germany and Liechtenstein vs Russia till the goals came. Ramsey did well against Germany but Ballack put in an early goal which pretty much settled the tie. Wales did have a penalty claim which could have changed the game but it was otherwise boring.
Russia won 1-0 and Arshavin set it up. After the second German goal which came courtesy of a defender I turned off the TV and no more goals. Hah?
Anyway, Andrey is the player of the month for March, breaking RVP's streak of 4 months. You might think that Arshavin got it because he's our brand new quality signing but it is evident that some of those games wouldn't have been won without him. So yay. Proper recognition.
I just watched a video on Arsene Wenger and how many languages he speaks. And then I lost the link. Bummer. But he speaks and understands English, French, Spanish, Italian, German and Japanese. Truly a grand master. It's like he would be able to hear everything and Cesc can't swear in Spanish without the boss knowing. Maybe Arshavin has a shot with Russian but nobody would understand so that defeats the purpose. When you swear, you still need your allies to know so you can laugh together.
The power of language. If only I could just study languages full time and screw the rest.
And here's the injury news update on the website. I think we'll all be glad for Cesc to be back. Le Boss sez he'll need at least 3 games to be back to his best. We all can't wait. Won't we all be so excited to see him lead the boys out of the tunnel on Saturday. Adebayor and Walcott will be back in contention too while dudu and RVP did their groins in. Diaby's injured too. Nasri has the Flu. Vela returns the latest.
And Bendtner texted the boss about his condition hahaha. I thought that was cute. He's so eager to play. If what he says is true and not because he's over eager, we could see him partner Adebayor up front. Then if Adebayor still wants to go back to his lazy antics perhaps Nicky could show him the way.
And to prove that internationals affect other teams too, Citeh have their fair share with Bellamy and possibly Robinho out. I doubt the Robinho part since I expect him to be a player for the big games so he'll show up. And I can't see him staying beyond this Summer.
And don't we all love Sagna. He dismisses all Juve talk and states how much he gets along with the Arsenal lads. You wonder if his best pal is Eboue. I have photos of the French squad cycling together on a training session. They funneh. Like footballers doing the Tour de France. I suppose it could be part of their French heritage. So I should give you a few right?

SOOOO.
I am treating this place with neglect. Ho-hum. Nothing much I feel strongly about so I shouldn't waste time and be efficient and post only when I have issues.
Football issues. Which human being on earth doesn't have issues.
Pre-match conference and Wenger is talking up his players once more. First Almunia then Bendtner. Bendtner I understand. But Almunia? Heh. He's been absolutely superb. And those clean sheets should be down to the defence too but the keeper has gotta be in command. Afterall, he has the best view or something coming at you. I've played keeper and then it is horrible when the defender is blocking your view lol. It's funny. And I can't be keeper.
So Bendtner. Nothing more to say really. He's young, blah blah blah. But he's a striker. Strikers don't miss sitters. Or strikers don't have a record of 1 goal from 10 sitters because how often do you get 10 sitters in a row? The manager wants to remind us to appreciate his efforts but sometimes Nicky comes off as really cocky and it's a bout of disturbia. We all know from the Cesc Fabregas show that he works really hard at training so I guess I have to start having faith. Maybe he can make things happen on a consistent basis in seasons to come.
And aren't we all glad no one speaks of one Eboue. I don't know what I would have done.
Now we all hope Stoke will be a bitch to Villa like they were to us. Villa do not boast the best home record so let's hope Rory Delap and co. will make something happen there. By the way, it sucks to hope other teams screw up, especially a team like Villa. I don't have much contempt for them besides them keeping us out of the top 4. It would feel so much better to see United or Pool screw up. Pool screws up quite a lot for our entertainment but I hope no one else noticed that they too managed 1-0 at the Bernabeu. Shhh.
Oh I realised I don't like Gareth Barry. I hate traitors. He must be 80% of the way into his dream now of Villa playing Champion's League football, the reason why he wanted to hit the road to Liverpool.
Fulham up next tonight. You know, after watching football for so long, I just realised after Roma why games midweek are in the evenings. Like SRSLY. It's because people have to work. And the reason for early kickoffs on Saturdays and Sundays are because people don't need to work.
What a realisation. Hence kick off at 1930. After so long.
For Fulham, we have Diaby back. He was fantastic against Roma and if he should keep it up tonight we should finally break the stupid goalless duck. Arshavin should be up to nearly full fitness by now and it's exciting to be able to see more of him. And I wish we had the depth to rest Robin tonight but we don't. The next game is Tuesday and with such a busy run-in, I hope those injuries don't start popping up again. The good thing is that Walcott, Eduardo and Adebayor will be back within the next 2 weeks. Then Rosicky (who hasn't worn either of the new kits this season) and Cesc.
Like new signings?Labels: Almunia, Aston Villa, Bendtner, Diaby
