we're all hoping for a response
It's been almost a week - enough time to take some distance from the worst Arsenal performance in history and look forward again.

Tonight, Arsenal play Man City.

After the corresponding fixture at the Eastlands early in the season, we were all looking forward to the time when Adebarndoor made his first Emirates Stadium return. Had he chosen not to celebrate his goal against us in that sort of fashion, I believe the fans would still cheer him on. But of course, his stupidity and ungrateful spirit decided it was necessary to express how happy he was to score against his former club - the one that propelled him to stardom. When Robinho decided that he has had enough of the English game, Adebarndoor officially became the highest paid player in the league.

Not too shabby eh?

Except that he hasn't been justifying whatever wages he now earns. Not that I want him to prove his worth. A crappy game for him tonight would do us a world of good.

Out of the 38 games in a league season, I'm pretty sure he only gets fired up (or wants to play) in 2 games.

Arsenal face an in-form City who has gone on quite a remarkable goal-scoring blitz (before United of course) on the back of 3 defeats. It's funny how the Wigan loss was the worst of them all, considering that we lost to Sp*rs. Anyway, it's kinda like the rejects vs rejects, both who failed to beat their very close annoying as hell neighbour. We need something from this game to seal 3rd place and automatic qualification in the league, while City want the holy grail of football. They're knocking on the doors, but Sp*rs are also in the reckoning. I don't want Sp*rs to claim 4th, but hey, between City and Sp*rs, Sp*rs are the ones who are more likely to throw a Champion's League qualification. One thing's for certain though, with Portsmouth denied European football, up to 7th place will play in Europe, meaning Sp*rs would. Then next season would be a completely different story for them because they simply can't accommodate too many things on their plates.

Anyway, I just want a good performance tonight. I actually miss watching Cesc Fabregas play, so too Robin Van Persie. The latter should be fit and ready for this game for some payback, that Wenger has been quick to play down. It seems that Adebarndoor has severed all ties with existing Arsenal players (by not returning phonecalls lol) so his ex-teammates should be fired up for this one too, against an ingrate.

We shall simply not worry anymore about who takes the pitch tonight. It's neverending. Flappy is set to continue in goal with Silvestre and Campbell in front of him. That combination, vs Adebayor and Tevez.

Hopefully we match them in attack and maybe win the game 10-9.

Enjoy the game wherever you are.

Taking Responsibility seems to be a problem from top to bottom
This season is incredible. There has been crazy highs, and last night, it hit an all new low.

If this doesn't call for a squad clear out, I don't know what does anymore. Some of those players just ain't up to it, and I gotta emphasise that they've been given a wealth of chances to prove that they have the goods. This blind faith that Wenger has, needs to stop right now.

DEADWOOD:

Almunia
Only brilliant when Lehmann was ahead of him. If he never took his chance that season, he might as well disappeared. The speed at which Wenger removed Lehmann from power was alarming to say the least. The first, didn't cost us points and we won. The second fumble, made a 1-0 win over Blackburn a 1-1 draw. All Lehmann has cost us that season, was 2 POINTS. That's all. I can't begin to count how many this Almunia donated to the opposing team. United fans can come and whine about Van Der Sar reaching 40 but he is miles better than our resident clown, so are the other 19 keepers in the league.

Denilson
This dude has made 121 appearances for Arsenal already. Many will remember him as the one who let the 40-year old ref outrun him for Rooney's goal at the Emirates this season. And the Stoke FA Cup clash at the Britainnia. Totally lost interest in marking the player who was advancing into our penalty area and the result? Goals conceded. Can keep him around as a SQUAD player only, not to be relied upon. He will definitely stay because it's Arsene Wenger, but when Aaron Ramsey makes it back from injury, Rambo HAS GOT TO BE AHEAD in the first team.

Diaby
For all of his talent and technical ability, he lacks passion and drive. I can't think of anything that would motivate this asshole. Has stepped up brilliantly (AT TIMES ONLY) this season and was winning the fans over, until last night gave us a reminder that he will never be the player the fans and the manager hopes he'll be.

Silvestre
We simply don't need cover for the left back position. Is the 6th choice CB at the club, and plays that way, even though he's from Manchester United. Nuff said.

Flappy
Either pursue your career at a lower league, or go on loan somewhere to gain experience before setting foot again in Arsenal. Last season, he did well when given his chance in the cups. Since returning from injury, he has been nothing short of flappy. You would think that having a crap keeper like Almunia in front of you would signal that the number 1 spot at Arsenal is there for the taking. Had he done well (OR HAD NO INCIDENTS) last night, he would most likely start all the remaining games for this season. Like the rest of the Arsenal players, nothing motivates them.

----
There is lazy culture at Arsenal it seems. First, there was Adebarndoor. He was literally the definition of lazy, after signing a new big $ contract. His downfall was that 30-goal season. Never considered that 6 out of 30 was against Blackburn, and with goals, it's forever going to be quality over quantity. Quality in this case, simply means goals that win us games. 6 past Paul Robinson is hardly an achievement that translates into a move to Barcelona or Milan.

Why the midfield is a crucial position that cannot tolerate lazy people, is because it is the engine room of the team. From this crop of youngsters, only Alex Song has stepped up to 'key player' status. The rest really can fuck off. I'm not including Ramsey in this one though, but had Shawcross been that little bit smarter and less of a cunt, Rambo could have made some difference. His work rate is there, he probes and he passes. He gives passes away but he gets them back and tries again. We don't fault players on ability, we absolutely abhor laziness.

Craig Eastmond did really well last night. His inexperience showed, but he's an example of a player who took his rare chance in the first team and tried to put in a performance to stake his claims on that first team place. Sadly, with Diaby and Denilson as regulars on the team sheet, they saw no need to bust their ass to prove anything, because let's face it, Wenger's going to forever and ever trust in them no matter what they do. Make a mistake? No worries, Le Boss will defend your ass anyhow.

That is the greatest problem with the youth policy and no top class players in front of them. There's no competition for places and no other option. Diaby can stroll his way though that game and guess what? He's still going to start the next game against City, injuries to Cesc or not. The first choice midfield is Cesc-Diaby-Song. How can a first choice midfielder at Arsenal have that kind of attitude?

Arsene Wenger has got to sort out his youth policy. It's now or never. Get quality players in to show them who's boss and who they have to emulate to improve. As it stands, it sure looks like it's going to continue unless there is a change of management. Not something I will rally for, but even his biggest fans are having their doubts.

With regards to the GK situation, Joe Hart seems to be the name bandied around the most. Completely fits the profile of a player Wenger will sign, except that moneybags city might refuse. They're going to keep faith with Given next season at least, so Hart may relish being number 1 at Arsenal. Let's face it, whichever goalie we sign is going to waltz straight into being number 1. The situation is utterly bleak now, but I think it can be a huge draw for our GK targets. There's no secret about Hugo Lloris being admired by Wenger, and the French connection is very delicious over here. The last more probable one is Igor Akinfeev. I think his contract has 1 year left or so (according to FM!!) and Arshavin could take matters into his own hands and correct the goalie situation in case he expects Wenger to do nothing. Shava holds Akinfeev in high regard and I don't think he thinks of Almunia or Flappy in the same way or anywhere near that standard.

Also, transfer policy has to change. We're getting 'signings' this season simply because, Chamakh is free. Wenger keeps reiterating that he's the only one that decides the transfers so aside from just talk, this part he has to take responsibility for as well. It's not like our injury situation is ever highly unprecedented. Not having enough cover year after year is simply his fault alone. Can't come out and say that "I pick the transfers" and then shirk responsibility when you only sign 1 player at the start of the season, while condemning Senderos to nothingness, with Djourou out.

All the football talk should simply stop here. It's been an infuriating month so far. Every end-of-season period we only want next season to come sooner. Why is it the same every year? This has got to be examined a ton more. There is a difference between winning the league and simply finishing 4th. Are we only going to settle for being 3rd best? That fag of a brother keeps repeating that United have never finished below 3rd before. You know srsly, I don't give a shit about United. This inter-club discussion doesn't interest me. That fag always accuses me of being biased but he doesn't stop to look at himself in the mirror. I know I am biased. I am a gooner. Saying 'kudos to United' will never be in my language so screw off if you can't handle that. Being objective was never part of me as a person anyway, and if you can't handle that then I'm ready to sever ties. I'm already reaching the point where Arsenal trumps everything, even sibling relations.

I think people who are so free to write up petitions to fire Wenger should just devote their time to other things. He's still the man for the job, and when he goes, what follows is the managerial patterns of Chelsea. Benitez hasn't won the league before and he's still around, but not for long. I'm not sure any Arsenal fan would want Jose Mourinho taking over. He's just about the most capable manager there is out there, but simply unsuitable. The ManUre fans are all calling for him to take over from Fergie even after all his antics while at Chelski. If that ain't the definition of being hypocritical, I don't know what is. Maybe a United fan can enlighten you. I'm not sure they're gracious and forgiving people. People who sing "sit down you pedophile" simply haven't got it anywhere, in their brains or up their asses.

Here's a hiatus till the City game.

The Verminator could miss more games, while Thierry knows how to tug on our heart strings
Most disturbing news of the day: Arsenal is appealing Vermaelen's Red

Judging from statistics, the FA hasn't overturned many decisions this term. Instead, they have relentlessly added on to the punishment for apparent 'frivolous appeals'.

Good Lord.

Don't know if it's well worth the risk, but Vermaelen could potentially miss the visit of Wolves too, i.e. fresh for both Barca ties. Won't miss the trip to Sp*rs either so we'll see if this pays off.

Most endearing news of the day: Thierry Henry's dread of facing Arsenal

Don't know if he'll be taking the field to face us, but it's going to be an emotional day for him and fans. Everytime I think Thierry now and his love for Arsenal, Adebayor seems to pop into my head. Thierry was his mentor yet the finished product is a total cunt. Don't need to remind you of how he went out of his way to celebrate his goal. Nosirrr.

I personally think that Thierry is a model pro, and you give your best for whichever team you're on, regardless of previous connections. It's going to be the same for Cesc, so if Thierry plays, I'd expect Henry to do his job.

Since we're on the topic of Adebayor, Jay-Z, husband of Beyonce, has reiterated his support for the Gunners. HAH. I think we're more interested in Jay-Z's reaction to Adebayor pimping off his wife, using her to symbolise AC Milan. If Jay-Z were a true Gooner then he should be absolutely pissed as we were, that this Arsenal player could find it in himself to court another club so openly. Of course, it's not surprising that anyone uses Beyonce as an analogy. Honey B's stocks are always rising. Perfect collaboration with GaGa.

Anyway, on the whole Thierry thing, he may well be leaving for the MLS in the summer. I don't think it's a bad thing really. And like most of the European MLS players, it would be a dream if we could loan him during the MLS close season. Just a thought, for a perfect dream to become reality.

being in the competition and fighting to be in it are two very different things
A fantastic win, and I can't help but give a few moments to ponder Emmanuel Adebayor.

He's missing out on ALL the juicy action. His move to City has made him the best paid footballer in the premier league thanks to Ronaldo departing for Spain.

Was it all worth it?

His arch enemy Nicklas Bendtner bagged a hattrick that saw Arsenal through to the quarter finals of the Champion's League, with the team still in the hunt for the title. It makes my stomach twist and turn quite a bit more with excitement at those two prospects.

Yet what is Adebayor doing?

Whining about how he was forced out of Arsenal. If he really were and he didn't leave for the money after blaming us fans, then what a move by Arsene Wenger. Can't help but wonder as well, how Kolo Toure would fit into this side.

As it stands, Wenger whose moves are all so spot on, has gotten rid of the two weakest links in the Arsenal side and it proved to work so damn well.

In the Bendtner-Adebayor dispute he will never come out in defence of either player but Adebayor made it sound like everything was in favour of the big Dane, victimising himself yet again. Nothing's set in stone yet but what a time Arsenal is having and I wonder how much he regrets his move away.

Luck is on Adebayor's side though - Liverpool have been nothing short of nonsensical this term, paving the way for the top 4 wannabees to waltz into the last Champion's League qualification spot. As it is, Liverpool may not even make the Europa league if they don't get 5th spot either.

I don't care about City being in the CL at all. They seem to only play for the big games but they lack a whole lot more to be able to handle more than one competition, especially one like Europe. Next season, the home-grown regulations in the league kick in and I think they're going to have a lot of trouble with that one. Nevertheless, as long as Sp*rs don't get it I'm happy. I'm rooting for City and Villa and Sp*rs for 5th. You'd notice that when they're remotely in the European second tier their domestic season goes haywire. They were battling relegation at the start of last season weren't they? Yet another team who cannot have more than 1 competition to compete in.

If I'm not wrong, the winner of the Europa League gets a straight ticket into the CL next season. Imagine if Liverpool achieved that feat - they're still in the reckoning for it. That would probably mean the top 3 getting the CL spots while the battle for fourth will be rendered lost.

The above would be clearer in the coming weeks but we need Liverpool and Sp*rs to up their game (until we travel to WHL) with them still to play Chelsea and United. Those games could be pivotal. Can Sp*rs actually help us indirectly?

So. After going through to the next round, the potential oppositions spring to mind. There won't be any easy match-up and I'm not sure if it's our turn for an all English quarter final. We did play United last season in the Semis. What an incredible season this will turn out to be if we draw Chelsea or United and WIN. People will stop bleating about how we don't deserve the league having not beaten them. So if we do, do we deserve the CL crown then?

Plenty to speculate till the draw. With the knockout stages being played over such a long period in order to maximise TV revenue, there's still a pretty long wait for the lottery to take place. What's more interesting is that Chelsea might not even go through. Inter Milan is no Porto. If the fixtures are considered kind, then us being one of the first teams to get qualification for the quarters out of the way is fantastic. Attention can now shift to the league and like Wenger said, Hull will yet be another big game for Arsenal. They have their work cut out now - win the remaining 9 games.

Those are fucking good news.
Just when you thought things were getting worse, they actually are getting better.

It's so easy to slip into an completely negative stage when you suffer setbacks but if you've taken the cues from Arsenal, that's not what you should do.

Remain positive! And good things will come to you. Or, you can expect the worst and then be pleasantly surprised when the good things come.

Vermaelen didn't break anything in his leg. Which is splendid. I thought it would have been nonsensical if he did after being rested at Stoke so perhaps that tactic did work. We all expected him to be out for a long long time but would you take a look at this? He could even make United if he recovers within 2 days. If you'd compare the 2 injuries the team picked up at Villa, Eduardo is completely out of contention for the United game. Vermaelen with a suspected serious injury could return.

Must be an awesome roller coaster ride for United fans who may have been a little more happy that we lost one of our key players of the season.

Of course, they too think that the FA moves in slow motion. No, they don't. Experiences with Moneybags Adebayor and his stamp on RVP tells me that retribution is swift when it comes to being charge with violent conduct, even if you poach video evidence (from Mascherano) to support your case. You'll see C. Ronaldo and the use of Messi's video to help his case but failing (and in the process, piss off fatherly Xavi). In any case, when the ref puts in his report that he would have sent the player off and awarded a penalty to Hull, that pretty much means that you'll get a 3 game ban, simple as that. Except that he chose to plead 'not guilty' and it's byebye Rio for Arsenal game and 3 more. 1 extra suspension for a 'frivolous' claim. Good thing Adebayor pleaded 'guilty'.

It's really stupid on Ferdinand's part but not surprising. If he were available for United then they'll most probably field their first choice centre back partnership of Ferdinand and Vidic. Good news for us. Vidic should be back though, and partner Evans.

Wenger also stated that Eboue and Song are back in London as planned. I think 2 more days of rest from them till United is a good thing. Had the game been on a Saturday then chances of them featuring will be slim. Sol Campbell has himself fired up to face United and knows that he faces the task of stopping Wayne Rooney. One man does not make a team though, but we still need to stop him. Cut off supply to him and he'll start lumbering back into his own half to try and nick the ball from us and that makes him less effective. We need to keep possession well and get our passing game going. Bendtner's back and despite his inability to shoot, being tall makes a world of difference. We can play the ball off him and bring the other midfielders into the attack, of course, if he doesn't give the ball away as a result of a crappy return pass. We all know what to expect. No other choice though, because he happens to be the only striker left.

If Vermaelen can't play, I'd put Campbell in. Song needs to be in that holding role. If Diaby is scared fit too then it's obvious that he partners Cesc. The front 3 will be Arshavin, Bendy and Tomas. I hope Denilson doesn't play. Every effort on his part to win the ball back from the opposition have been half-hearted lately and it's irritating me. Either you're in or you're out. There's no in between.

It should be a crackin game at United. Maybe a game against Villa didn't fire up the lads as much. United, should.

2 ex-Gunners doing the shirt
The phrase "seeing is believing" is never overrated. Never ever.



There has been speculation, loads of speculation, speculation I chose to dismiss. And then Arsene Wenger proved me wrong and signed the above fellow. "re-signed" to be exact.

Honestly, between Patrick Vieira and Sol Campbell, it's obvious who our choice would be. What remains is that the boss didn't think we needed Paddy but we would have a use for Sol's services.

The period of time of my 'great awakening' as an Arsenal fan was probably right around now. Previously I know I was following blindly at a young age. I was mesmerised by Henry and Pires for the most part (maybe Freddie too). I wasn't conscious of Sol's move from Sp*rs and all the drama that went along with that. But I do like him. Since his departure, I don't think anyone as big as him has been in our defence.

This season is getting interesting ain't it. Paddy's back but with Man City while Sol signs for us again. This could be Arsenal's year in so many ways. If City does do well we arguably have a part to play since they like our ex-players.

Except that one of our ex-players don't seem to possess enough City shirts he had to rope in one of Arsenal's and he did an interview in it.



Nice shirt. It's from 2 seasons ago I think. I liked the polo then. I think we'll all be up in arms if he ever donned the Arsenal shirt again.

Flamini is reportedly unhappy at Milan, probably due to the lack of first team appearances. Last season, we would have taken him back in a heartbeat. It's different this time. I never thought I'd say that Alex Song strikes a far more impressive figure than the combative Flamster.

Were they targeting moneybags?
Okaaaaay. I chose to shut up a bit before the game in case it gets postponed.

The Emirates pitch is heated so the pitch isn't a problem, the surrounding area is. And the Bolton game got canceled. I didn't think it was a bad thing really. Bolton are in managerial turmoil and naming a new manager might spark a revival but if you think about it, Arsenal's always going to come out tops. We don't have to rely on Bolton and manager troubles to win the game.

The boss says that the extra rest time was helpful. Hopefully it'll show tonight.

So I guess the top of the news is the gunmen attack on the Togo team bus. What really concerns us is probably Emmanuel Adebayor being on it.

Not that we would want him dead, but I think it's possible that the gunmen were aiming for him but got his teammates instead.

That said, it would be bizarre if that was the case because that would make the gunmen gooners. I do think that only we would have a personal vendetta against one Emmanuel Adebayor.

This is just a speculation of motives. It is from watching too much CSI. I became a Las Vegas fan, and then AXN had to catch me at a bored hour with NY and it's pretty good too.

So, fortunately, MoneyBags is doing fine, except that he claims to not be able to sleep at night. I doubt it. With City's money, I think he'll sleep just fine. Just give him a couple of nights.

The next World Cup, is in Africa. Damn.

On tonight, Rosicky is back. I think he's definitely raring to go with his new contract out of the way. I hope he scores an awesome goal even if it's just for shiok value. I miss that.

And Arsene Wenger. Supreme master of interviews and puns. He made this statement about Chamakh:

"He is a player we have an interest in, but we are focused on short term at the moment."


Which essentially means he's an unpolished gem, and not ready to slot right into the first team and make an impact. If we all knew better, we would never have heard of this dude had he not been linked with Arsenal. Now it seems that Liverpool's interested. If we do table an offer for him in the summer and he chooses Liverpool over us, it's his demise. The last I checked, Rafa Benitez isn't one who does well with unpolished jewels.

So screw it Chamakh. His form at Bordeaux isn't that fantastic anyway and srsly, if not for us no one will know about him.

And now, Andre-Pierre Gignac is good enough for Arsenal now. SUCK THAT CHAMAKH. Ass. You can go to Sp*rs. When Arsenal declares an interest in you, you don't list your options. The destination is obvious.

And we have players to bear testament to our formula that works. My Aaron Ramsey. He chose Arsenal over United and look where he is now. Cesc Fabregas left Barcelona for Arsenal and he's a world class player at 22. When it comes to turning talent into class, there is only one Arsene Wenger to do it.

it was a long time coming - 2 nil and you fucked it up!
I caught the first half of the Sp*rs game. And then the beginning of the second half, up until the point where Defoe scored to make it 1-0.

And then I switched to watching Private Practice.

And went to bed without checking the score.

So I just did. And Everton came back from 2-0 down to draw 2-2, with Defoe, the league's top scorer thanks to that fluke game with Wigan, missed a penalty. I mean, this has got to be the weekend of missed penalties. Cesc was probably the one who started it off and then Chelsea and now Sp*rs. What's funny is, Cesc's penalty miss did not result in points loss. In Chelsea's case it could have made a difference. In Sp*rs case, they lost 2 points. What should hurt more is that they missed the chance to overtake Arsenal once more in the league and stay 4th.

TWO NIL AND YOU FUCKED IT UP.

This has totally made my day. I mean, after watching Adebayor at the weekend and how he decided to become a defender as well and then scored an own goal. It's like Vermaelen for us. He's been a top top top defender who has goals in his Arsenal. So Adebayor, wanted to prove that he can do both as well. Of course, it's a one-match thing. He only steps up a gear when he plays the bigger teams. Oh how hardworking he is. He did create City's equaliser and City went on to win but no one's complaining since it's Chelsea. I don't know anyone in the world in the right mind who would root for Chelsea if you are a neutral supporter. Of course, being neutral means not being emotionally involved but that is hardly possible in football.

Just like how watching Sp*rs fuck it up totally sends glee through my veins.

No more Monday blues for me.

I wore my white kit out yesterday, the one dedicated to Arshavin. Should flaunt it a little more, that expensive thing. I met a Sp*rs fan. How often do you meet weird people like that, when you don't live in North London. Anyway ahahaha, it makes me so glad to know how he's feeling a lot of shit right now. It's priceless when this happens to the spuds. Why do they even bother.

So, there isn't any updates regarding the injuries suffered at Stoke. Man Utd is having a ball of a time with their extremely makeshift defence. Our problems probably lie in attack but that's where we have the greatest depth in. That's got to start showing soon. The lads would be getting a good rest while the youngsters take the field. Hopefully the senior players will play in the same way they did against Stoke, in addition to better finishing and no missed penalty. heh.

We've lost to both Chelsea and Man Utd already. We need to take the Liverpool game at least. Man Utd have shown last season that you don't have to take maximum points from the big boys to win the league but this season may not be the case with Chelsea taking lots of points from the rest of the title challengers. We need to keep on winning.

All I Desire is Full Football Coverage. Apparently That's Too Much to Ask This Season
The lads travel to the City of Manchester Stadium again.

Carling Cup tonight, which will be interesting. Man City will be looking to bounce back from their record 7 draws in a row. We really got rid of that hex by selling them Toure and Adebayor.

Now, we're simply losing. If you look at it though, we've lost 6 points over 2 games and if we start winning again, it's fine.

On the other hand, to throw away 14 points over 7 games is just retarded.

Both teams need to get wins to at least gain some momentum for the league games to come and I foresee the winner taking it all.

Lazy Adebayor will once again be fired up to play against his former club, the only games of the season he decides to not be lazy because there is a huge need to bite the hand that fed you, or made you who you are today, minus the lazy part. He has the potential to cause problems (when un-lazy) so whoever's playing at centreback should be watching him closely. The laziness in him will wait for a free header so the only way to frustrate him is to mark him for 90 minutes + extra time and I believe the likes of Senderos, who should be putting in a shift tonight, is capable.

Youngsters like Ramsey, Wilshere, Vela and co. will play. Nasri has just spoken about his happiness at the club after making his 50th club appearance last weekend. He hopes to hit 300 or 400 because he simply loves it here. I mean, when all the shorties are out on the pitch, the team is incredibly hot. The girls would love to believe that Arsene Wenger hires on looks.

Imagine a team with Nasri, Vela, Walcott, Fabregas, Ramsey, Wilshere (DIMPLES). Oh, I forgot Arshavin. The shorties have looks. Ramsey drives me crazy with his lack of screentime.

I didn't include giant Bendtner who constantly hurts his groin.

So, I got the email from Arsenal Singapore, which contained the response from Starhub regarding Carling Cup match coverage. Riggghhhht. I saw the part where negotiations reached a standstill and I just rolled my eyes. Trust Starhub to hit a glitch in "negotiations". Have they looked at Singtel's football coverage prices? That's a big boy who knows how to play the game. There is no need for basic groups and all you need to pay is a freakin $25/month to watch every fucking thing, including tennis and F1. This season sucks because I don't have UEFA Champion's League coverage. When FA Cup season kicks off we'll know if we have that too. Consumers are always the last to be informed but the first to be charged.

Singtel's doing an awfully good job at winning us over. Low prices are key. It's the part where they win our trust that scares me. That's when we get screwed.

No game to watch tonight. I don't think anyone's surprised.

Come end May 2010, I'm throwing my set top box back at Starhub. Suck that. I can't believe I got a Starhub mobile phone plan just to get the hub club discount. So going to dump that when it's over too. If Singtel could charge us so much less, why was there a need to constantly increase the subscription prices over the years when Starhub had the rights?

Switching to Singtel is like getting a 50% discount. In Singapore terms, that's absolutely fucking worth the trouble to switch. And I doubt we'll get shit like "negotiations hit a standstill" or the fucking broadcaster selecting which matches not to broadcast just so that the football fans get the notice like the fucking day before the game. Oh yes. Sunderland away of last season.

Football fans don't forget.

'Oh my God, this is so ugly!'
is what Robin says when he watches other teams on TV.

Imagining him saying it in his Dutch accent makes it funnier.

He had some tough choices to make at 14 and he chose football over drinking and smoking and stealing candy so that's a good thing.

This dude is desperate to win trophies with Arsenal, having only won 2 in his Arsenal career, a meaningless community shield and the FA Cup.

And we all know how Cesc is on the same frequency with this.

It's FABPERSIE!!

The way these 2 link up is awesome.

So anyway, the Wolves game was a good win. Yes. Now it's time to examine the other positives. They were all wet from the heavy rain and there was Ramsey. And then Nasri came on. Did you notice all the cute faces on the pitch?

Arsenal ain't just a team that plays beautiful football. They are beautiful.

And Nasri's English lessons have paid off (assuming he hired a tutor). His English is sexy.

So, last night, Chelsea and Man Utd played the ugly game. I mean, I got so bored I went to watch How I Met Your Mother, switching after each episode to check the score, not that it matters. HIMYM is friggin hilarious. Neil Patrick Harris FTW srsly. Anyway, I still managed to catch Johnny Evans' double kick on Drogba and his theatrics. Give that guy an oscar!!!!! He totally vibrated on the ground like he was reaching orgasmic enlightenment. If anyone didn't know, like the blind referee, he's just trying to get the player sent off that's all.

SAF probably thinks the ref was blind too. Everytime they lose, it's the usual complaints and the blasting of the referee. It's so typical it's boring now.

So Chelsea go 5 points clear and then the press has decreased Man Utd's title chances. That is purely lame. It's as though they have nothing else to write. Maybe their naive minds believe that Chelsea, after beating United, will go on to win every damn game this season so the 5 point gap is enough to win it for them.

So, Man City seems to be on a downward spiral. They should know that the rest of the world will laugh at them when things go wrong. And the City fans are labeling Mr Adebayor a lazy sulk. It's sooo funny. It's funnier when his last goal was against Arsenal. I mean, after he started the season with aplomb, scoring in every match leading up to the face off with us. And then his motivation went out the window.

Again.

I think he'll stay at Man City all his life. I don't think the clubs he dreams of joining (Milan, Barcelona) will want him now. He is a quality striker but his attitude is not there. He ain't gonna get more money for playing better really.

At this point in the season, Robin has 7 league goals while Cesc has 6. Adebayor has like, 4? That's on par with Arshavin who probably hasn't even kicked into top gear yet. And somehow, that's not down to being lazy.

Who, at the start of the season, would put $ on Cesc scoring more goals that Adebayor at this point?

Now, I read the City fans and how proud they are of Adebayor after that win against Arsenal and I really want to laugh. Guilty as charged. Counting chickens before they hatch. Celebrating a player not worth celebrating. Then 5 draws in a row. Hilarious.

Man Utd has lost a great player in Ronaldo. (Nobody mentions Tevez either) Arsenal ain't whining about losing Adebayor. In fact, he was a weak link. I mean, he was first choice at Arsenal and he had Fabregas and Van Persie providing good service to him. Yet he only moaned about how it sucks to play in the lone striker role. Look at Robin now. He is thriving. He had a rough start while adapting to this new role and now look at what hard work does for you. Peak of his career, scoring more goals than ever, enjoying his football, and of course, fatherhood.

I love you Robin Van Persie.

Never say 'It's good to be back!'
The story of Arsenal.

Fabianski: It's good to be back!
Arsenal.com: Fabianski out for 3 weeks

Srsly. So the goalkeeping position is still down to 2 players, them being Almunia and Mannone.

And no one has any idea who's going to start tomorrow's game. Absolutely no idea. It's 50-50 both ways.

Nasri completed 90 minutes but reckons he's not completely match fit yet. He should be a substitute for tomorrow night. What the team really needs is a good ball keeper and he's one of them. The other one, however, is currently crocked.

As expected, an injury setback which was said to be a matter of days, has become weeks. It may well add up to a month and then probably a year too.

OH TOMAS. YOUR KNEE.

If he doesn't get more playing time under his belt he'll most certainly be released next summer when his contract runs out.

Another dude who's holding out for a new contract is Fran Merida. The lad scored a stunner and the team won and so he has a little bit more bargaining power at the contracts table. I hope he stays. I don't enjoy players leaving Arsenal unless they are Emmanuel Adebayor-ish. Speaking of whom, has told the press that Cesc Fabregas will quit Arsenal. When will he realise that it's completely none of his business. No matter what Cesc does, he'll always be in a better place than stinkin Adebayor whose dream was to play for Barcelona but now is at Man Citeh.

Srsly. Real Madrid has already had their crack lines being exposed at the weekend, suffering 4-0 humbling by a lower division side. Citeh's turn should come soon enough. They have people like Adebayor for one who likes to flirt with other clubs (ahem Milan) and then Robinho, who Barcelona are rumoured to be chasing after. Everyone there has a better place to go to.

At Arsenal, I can say that there is no better place. Cesc may one day return, but he won't leave unless he's left a legacy over here. Thierry Henry has set the precedence.

The desire to transform a nobody into a superclub doesn't last all that long. history will forever count for something. It is naive to think money can change everything. There are a lot of things money can't buy. Sure you can buy Adebayor. What you get is his temporary allegience. That's all.

So, Sp*rs tomorrow. I think it'll be wise to go to the Liz early to reserve seats. No Adebayor who likes to score against Sp*rs. We have a whole lot of other people who do as well. It's never too late to start scoring against Sp*rs. The whiners are playing up their injuries so that if they lose, they'll have a direction to push the blame to.

While we continue our discontent
Adebayor still thinks it's all about him. Apparently the dick 'regrets' his stamp on Van Persie. If you've guessed right, it's all for the wrong reasons. It's not because they used to be teammates. It's because you shouldn't do it in football. Finally some common sense? I bet releasing a statement like this is only to take yet another opportunity to talk about things of aged past like the insulting songs he apparently heard. Little did his minute brain realise that the case is closed. The away fans did nothing of that sort. I'm sure he has voices in his head telling him to go where the money is. Who is he kidding when he says he wanted to stay?

What peeves me most is that part of the 400 million Singapore dollars Singtel paid will be going into his pocket.

Shall we all rest in the fact that it goes into Arsenal's pockets too.

Srsly not helping.

Yesterday was quite the horrible day as you might as guessed as well. Getting worked up over everything for an entire day. First it was bringing up the bloody Singtel thing again. I was sort of self-appeased when I called Starhub and confirmed that my plan is over already and I can cancel it without penalty charges in May when the season ends. The trick here I realised, is to renew your plan just once every time those two idiots choose to choke each other. Sign on for 2 years at the start of the 3-year license. When you've seen out those 2 years, leave it no matter what the telco offers you to renew for another 2 years. Keep in mind that they stand to gain the most even if they throw in a lousy laptop.

We'll just keep switching until they get tired of that little game of theirs. The ang mohs can keep up with their laughing till then.

I guess sometimes it's true that Asians are only book smart and lack basic street knowledge. I don't suppose not fighting in a playground is in a textbook. Maybe if it was those two will stop fighting and focus more on what's important, which is the happiness of customers. Ego is such a huge thing in a male-dominated world. Coalition seems more like castration than cooperation. So yaaaaaay for bloody Singtel (they're red mind you)! You've got the damned BPL rights. A small group of rich bastards will feel contented over the whole thing while the majority moans at their stupidity.

Should end this matter there and then. Besides the part where Singtel and Starhub working together is as likely as North and South Korea reuniting, or even the North putting an end to it's nuclear weapons program. How about China and Taiwan? Just about it. Maybe Sentosa will declare independence.

I will jump at any chance to expand overseas. Why bother contributing to GDP here when it all pours out into ang moh's pockets anyway.

The effects of Singtel's coup on UCL will be thoroughly felt on match day 1
I am pissed. It's no longer about Adebayor. He's history. After the FA mets out his punishment, we'll all be celebrating and I'll leave that for later.

What sucks more than Adebayor now, is Singtel. We've known this a long time now, but it obvious how much of a cunt this telco is. As if owning the biggest market share in the telco industry isn't enough, they've now hijacked Starhubs monopoly in football coverage.

Insane.

You know, we wouldn't mind if Starhub increased the fees for Champion's League coverage. I can imagine then creating a new channel for it and how much more could it cost? Probably $10 or $15 per month, judging from how much HBO and Star Movies cost. We'll be unhappy over the extra subscription fees, but we definitely wouldn't be up in arms calling for Singtel to DIAF*. And if they make us pay extra for the more in depth coverage as compared to before, it'll be 100% worth it since they won't get to cut out the Arsenal games like before. Those days of complaining are over. -_-

For the average person, like me, who completely watches nothing else but sports and more sports, this is a completely retarded situation. I wouldn't be appreciating whatever rubbish channels Sing-bloody-tel has to offer on top of my sports group. I mean, I have 4 basic groups for Starhub cable and I don't fully utilise them either. I don't exactly turn on MTV and dim my room lights and start dancing naked do I.

MIO is a rubbish concept and I hope they lose mega bucks, using their telco moneys to cover their losses.

If we unite in not getting the lame stupid retarded shitty mother fucking MIO, it'll force them to sell their rights to Starhub and the hubbers will be happy.

In the meantime, I suppose it won't hurt to catch online streams of the game via TVUplayer. The links are on myp2p.eu and sometimes if we're lucky, we can get media player streams minus the Chinese commentary. The US ESPN shows UCL since they bought over Setanta. Singapore, being how globalised, will not enjoy any benefits from that despite there existing a channel called ESPN here. Such a retarded concept where TV rights must be sold here and there and ESPN is different in every country. Someday, we'll have global channels and Singtel can stick it up there somewhere.

And yeah, Starhub's hogging all the established channels and even when they created Football Channel, the idea sold and that's what we all call it over here. Simple. Singtel is just FULL OF SHIT. There's BBC and Nat Geo on Starhub. Nothing good left for ST. They may as well create new channels for their crap and no one will remember.

Singtel and Adebayor will make horribly good bffs. They're both obsessed with $$$ from us fans, while one is a disgrace to football, the other deprives us of football.

Cunts from the same hole I tell you.

Next time round MIO might bid for F1 and then get the qualifiers while Starhub retains the main race day. Sounds retarded, but it's the same as following football but skipping the European matches. A football season consists of every possible game the team plays. Nothing less.

Spray paint will come in handy.

Ban the Moron many many!!
I think. The next few days will be all about Adebayor and the lengthy ban he'll be slapped with.

This is a case of a numbshite not considering the consequences before doing something, except that it obviously has blown to epic proportions. Not sure if the punishment is equally epic. We'll be watching.

There is one good thing from this!

It seems that he's hogging all the headlines because of his lack of IQ + EQ and it has liberated Eduardo from the diving rubbish.

Maybe he did it all for his mate Eduardo, while trying to break Cesc's leg and take out Robin's eye. Hard to believe.

He's going to hell anyway, and the FA seems to be picking up the slack a little bit so he should be banned from the Manchester Derby. That may just derail their momentum and we'll see Noel Gallagher having plenty to say to this retard.

Mark Clattenberg is another retard.

Adebayor could easily have been off for an early bath at 1-1 following the stamp on RVP. The result could have been so different.

At the end of the day though, we should not require the sending off of an opposition player to play against 10 men to win the game. The lads should be winning regardless. Midweek is a chance to set the records straight again in Belgium and then in the league as the season continues.

Almunia's form has dipped aplenty ever since Capello said that he's not going to look into that option. Also, Jens is no longer on is back while Fabianski is injured and isn't good enough to harrass him from behind.

It's not the end of the world yet. There's plenty more which can be done. If any team is in trouble, it's Everton.

The brother has been shipped off to Tekong. It was kinda sad. My already small family is even smaller now. He couldn't adore Hari Raya any less.

Oh and Mark Hughes is a cunt. As if we never knew that. So I figured out the one part where Adebayor used his brains. He's paid many many and with a 4-match ban, that's a month-long holiday since they don't play in Europe, the twat. What a way to apply for leave. I'm sure he can backpack Europe and Asia and be stoned every leg of the way.

Bad things happen at the Eastlands...again.
Geez.

There seems to be nothing much to say, besides 'Adebayor is a mother fucking cunt'.

I had some other funny thought about this game - it was like an Arsenal vs Manchesters mini league.

Arsenal's fixtures:
Man U vs Arsenal
Man City vs Arsenal

And City's fixtures:
Man City vs Arsenal
Man U vs Man City

With United's fixtures:
Man U vs Arsenal
Man U vs Man City

And when they made a table for that, Arsenal's at the bottom of the group with no points while the 2 Manchesters will battle out for top spot.

What a weird thought and a horrific league consisting of sheer and utter cunts.

Arsenal had no shot on goal in the first half. Once again, it seems like this team has returned to the team of last year. Does traveling to the Eastlands have that effect? Last time around, after that painful 3-0 defeat, Arsenal turned it around (not quite actually) and went on that long unbeaten run, which consisted of more draws than anything plus that 3 goalless retarded games in a row.

City shaved 3 points off us again, and by an emphatic scoreline nonetheless. Arsenal losing 3-0 and 4-2 are horrific scorelines which shouldn't happen but has happened.

I was terribly upset over the first goal. After this international break, everything seems to have gone haywire. Bendtner got 2 goals in 2 international games and then got big headed and set his targets for this season, to get 20 goals in 40 or so appearances. He too declared that he wanted the central striking role which Robin now occupies. There's something about this Dane. When he has something to prove or something to say probably, like to declare his targets, he plays his heart out and gets the goals and then the attention to do so. Thereafter, it's like making an empty promise and not delivering. Seems to me like he has this huge tendency to get thick-headed and cocky and then he stops working hard. When you tell yourself that you prefer to do the alternative instead of going on the path you're on, like say, playing on the right of a 4-3-3 instead of the one in the middle, you tend to lose focus on the task at hand. Nevermind Adebayor who has declared you as his no. 1 arch enemy thanks to some shoe incident in the dressing room.

How often have we had comparisons of Bendtner's and Adebayor's heading ability?

Who comes up tops eventually?

Watch how Adebayor skips past the challenges to put in that cross for SWP to miss. If it were he on that right wing, without a doubt, he would do so much than Bendtner.

I hate to agree with Adebayor but he is right about Bendtner. He's had it easy all his career. Simple.

In a war to prove a point, Adebayor made his, Nicky did not.

I wished it was Eboue who was coming on for Bendtner instead of Sagna. Sagna is the rock of our defence. When the centre backs happen to stray out of position, he's there to cover and clear the ball into touch. Put Eboue there and we have an attacking full back who plays the opposition on side.

Eboue has improved a lot this season but with Wenger converting him to more of an attacking player, it does affect the player's mentality and making him fill in at right back in a time where we need to score can backfire this badly.

Tactically, Wenger scored points at this one area where I know, I know, the people of the world will declare me a biased crazy fan.

Rosicky.

If it was the substitution to get the team going and get them to start their engines, this was it.

He's been out a long time and it's deja vu all over again, just like when Eduardo returned.

A pity the effect was shortlived but you know, this dude just proved that he's the grand master of scoring meaningless goals. How many a times do we have to see him score and reel away without a happy face?

Oh.

When he scores the goals to seal win. Breathing space.

And that was what Emmanuel Adebayor did for City. He made the 3-1. And yes, exactly as how everyone's going to put it, he ran the full length of the pitch to celebrate in front of the away fans.

When he scored, it was instinctive. I knew he was going to do that.

I only enjoyed how enraged the visiting fans were. A fucker like him declared that Gooners are fickle supporters. We're so fickle we might stop hating him tomorrow.

NOT.

If Wenger steers clear from signing African players for good, I might support him. This rags to riches and planning for retirement story is getting extremely old. All they want is more and more money. People who are born in Europe understand this goodness and I believe they're more inclined to be more passionate towards the club than to money. It's as easy as saying that people who have never seen money before will be possessed to go after it a lot more than regular people.

I guess he's very damn happy at City. Good for him. He could be the one to steer City to ultimate glory but seriously, I don't get how their fans can love and cuddle him when obviously, he's the grandest cunt of all. If C. Ron ever came to Arsenal I'm not sure if he'll be loved immediately. Then again, I don't think he'll celebrate the way Adebayor did if he scores against United. The other man to watch is Tevez, who sort of left on bad terms but it wasn't with the fans.

Arsene Wenger is a star maker, but he seems to also be a cunt maker. That's 2 to his name, including Ashley Cole. With these two it sure looks like money is the root of all evil.

And then.

I haven't even gotten started at how Adebayor was trying as hell to injure our players. I mean, if he went for Bendtner we'll all understand.

He went for Cesc's leg and Van Persie's face.

OMFG.

WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH HIM?!

These are the two nicest dudes in the Arsenal team and I can't imagine anyone going for their leg and face respectively just because. You can headbutt Bendtner and that's fine. His head is too darn big and he makes it even bigger himself.

I don't think I will ever be a Bendtner fan. Sometimes he wows me, other times I just want him off the bloody pitch.

When Walcott returns he might kiss that first team place goodbye.

And that's exciting because Walcott's pace could add a whole new attacking dimension to the 4-3-3 and I guess I'll save that for another day.

I whacked my friend the minute Rosicky pulled on the Arsenal shirt. Whacked her even more when he came on. Burgeoned her when he made that assist.

How I miss you so.

And he scored. On his return. He played 42 minutes.

I don't really care about the league table at the moment. Not too long ago we were doing really well and we started to falter. No one knows what this season holds. Just when the defence looked like they were tightening up, shit happens.

There's time between now and the next big game to improve and do better. It's the midweek game next.

Adebayor's a huge cunt and everyone knows it. Not need for more reiteration. It's still pretty early in his City career. He has a lot to prove now so he's upped his game. Wait till he gets bored again. I'm sure the City fans will be singing his name out loud week in, week out.

I think it looks as though I've blamed the whole defeat on one Nicklas Bendtner. It was never my intention. This dude just frustrates me a lot. I think it was collectively a poor outing from the team and I couldn't feel the passion.

I hope they get it back again soon. Having no shot on goal in 45 minutes is simply disturbing for all that good passing and movement.

Full fledged injury update - many casualties reported.
So hi! My face is swollen from you know what but anyway, I'm already back at work. Because I'm too nice and too understanding.

It's the last day of the school holidays I think. A mother wants to spend time with her kids.

I'm so pro family.

I guess when the international break is overrr, it's when we start getting happy just to become utterly bogged down with injury news, what else. We finally get official confirmation ofDjourou's injury, effectively ruling him out for 6-8 months. They might as well just say till the end of the season or there's possible retirement in sights.

Someone who isn't retiring like we all feared, is Tomas Rosicky, who played 56 minutes of competitive football for his country. Oh my little Mozart. Are you back for good?

Is God being fair or just being a bitch? Rosa is possibly back, then Arshavin is out for the next 3 games.

A downright bitch I'd say, but not to God but to Guus Hiddink.

Mother fucker.

Whore.

And Wenger did not fail to diss him for fielding Arsha.

In the same article, Wenger also mentioned that Theo has been rid of his injury but is not fully fit yet. Right.

Dumbfuck Englishmen booed Eduardo at Wembley. They have complete and utter disregard of the laws of KARMA. Someday when they grow old they'll lose a leg or break a leg beyond repair and whadoesitmatter? They have the welfare state to take care of all their problems. Bankrupt the UK.

Doesn't it feel sometimes, that angmohs are really dumb too? Besides the typical Singaporean who are pretty much caught up comparing who is better in bed. You should go read the Asiaone forums. They're pretty hilarious and completely unfounded. Day in day out it's all about the same thing - angmohs vs asians' ability in bed. It's as though Singaporeans don't get enough sex so they have to talk about it online. If you haven't bedded an angmoh, then how would you know who's better? And I'm not sure there's an international standard for good sex. I give you an A+++ today. :DD

SO, leaving the best for last, Wenger, who will forever and ever defend his players, past or present, has declared Adebayor to not have 'moneybags' as his middle name here.

Um seriously. Isn't this like the biggest joke of the world?

Except that it's not laugh-worthy after a while.

Shrek dives again within the span of 2 games
Google 'Rooney Dive' and you'll see a whole host of interesting results for ugly shrek. The real Shrek is funny. This lookalike is plain boring, imo.

'I am honest'

And then dives in the next game, 2 games in a row.

People think it's characteristic of women to 口是心非，but obviously, Shrek Rooney is on the same bandwagon.

Ever since Ronaldo left, Shrek has been trying in vain to fill his boots, as the greatest cunt in mancuria who mistakes the green green grass of home for the deep sea.

The problem with Eduardo's dive is that we condemn it, we do not defend his ass and he is only receiving sympathy because UEFA, this cock association, is singling him out for punishment when clearly, this is his first time diving (at least in an Arsenal shirt) while the rest of the world out there practically play football in water when they get to the penalty box.

Like oops, slippery.

And I realised that there is no Arsenal football till next Saturday when we play Man City who have Adebayor who is prolly fired up to score against his former club, having scored already in every game this season. That fuckface is a quality player, but he lacks complete professionalism and we can only wait for his decline when he gets bored or when Milan or Barca declare empty interests.

The only thing on show could be how a squad built with balance can whack one with all things bought. It would be an interesting game to say the least. Pundits should be backing City.

After the United game I was pretty glad. No unbeaten record thank you very much. I really hate the unbeaten record. Winning streak is preferable. If draws are many then no unbeaten record thanks. I abhor it. Detest it. It gives a false sense of well being when clearly, the team isn't playing well at all. Hopefully we can resume business as usual at City and in turn, blight their winning start to the season while we start ours.

If City were to break into the top four, it would definitely be at the expense of Liverpool who look completely out of sorts without Alonso. United are coping without Tevez and ROnaldo. Arsenal look a better side without lazy Adebayor and Verm's the perfect replacement for Toure.

Liverpool are simply crumbling. Hate the scousers.

Oh yes, more blogging thanks to a long break from work and then school's starting. :O

Caldwell is the embodiment of divine retribution
I have reverted to normal human sleeping times and staying awake throughout the entire match was no mean feat. I mean, I let myself fall asleep at half time and woke up at the 60th minute or so.

It was status quo then, after Gallas scored yet another important goal in a second successive qualifier, the first goal that we need. I figured now for Arsenal, getting the first goal is crucial.

There was one Gary Caldwell, who showed us how much of a cunt he is. He went in on Cesc and claimed no foul but we got the free kick and we've got him to thank for that opportunity to put the ball in his net. Thereafter, he decided to do us one better and put the ball in the same place for us by expertly turning in Gael Clichy's cross.

This is the part where I say thank you very much.

And then pray and hope that all their cunty players who decided to keep Cesc at bay by going in hard on him did not hurt him. It's like he's receiving the Ronaldo treatment minus the part where he doesn't dive.

So we got the result we wanted. The passing and the movement of the team is fan-freakin-tastic and stray passes were a rarity. That is one part of the Arsenal game the boys have improved on greatly. That much said, in the past 2 games, we've been blessed with the chances to get the first goal and allow the rest to be history. There'll come a time where we might get off to a slower start and allow the opposition to get at us so that's probably the next test we might face. Too often a time last season we concede first just to have to put up a fight. That's going to be a good indication of the team's character development and that's one to look forward to.

There were league games going on at the same time and I found Sunderland really funny. Darren Bent scored once more after his sole goal in the league opener secured 3 points. I suppose he might have thought his against Chelsea might have the same effect. Who knew Chelsea would hit 3 back after the break to beat them comfortably. Wigan with their new manager enjoyed a solid opening game at Villa Park, just to lose to Wolves in the next game.

This just shows how much the first game is not a good indicator of the season to come. We have won 6-1. Like Fab says, it's just one down, 37 to go. I get the feeling the squad is more focused than ever and this could be our year. We couldn't have known that the weak links of the team were Adebayor and Toure, you know, Adefuckyour, who claims Cesc will walk out Arsenal's door if we don't qualify for the Champion's league. I suppose he must have been rooting for Celtic.

I still don't understand how a player can choose to fight for a team to achieve Champion's League status over a team who is fighting for the Champion's League trophy. His IQ is probably in the region of -10 or he doesn't have a brain. I guess we can safely assume that he thinks with his motor mouth.

If we manage to lift the trophy in May, I might send him a postcard on Cesc's behalf with 'HAHA' X 8924779342984 on it. Isn't it more prestigious to be a part of Arsenal's history?

He indeed does think with his ass. We do not need to hear anything else he has to say about Arsenal because he's not one of us and has no business speaking about us.

Oh yes, we beat Celtic 2-0 at Celtic park. We're halfway there. Fuck off Adebayor.

I Just Died in Your Arms Tonight
It's a good thing I didn't die after I saw Rosicky play.

If it was OMG ROSICKY, then it's OMFG ARSHAVIN!

I am speechless beyond all reasons. I screamed WTF! at his second goal. Never in my life have I seen a goal like that. What a goal.

Anyway, it's the same story over and over. We score and then we give the team a very fantastic chance to reply and it does seem that a one goal lead will never be good enough for Arsenal. Need I remind you about Sp*rs and Liverpool, those 2 heart-breaking games where the defence was just beyond being in shambles but being utterly non-existent.

An impossible angle goal from Arsha and it's waaaaaay nicer than Adebayor's against West Ham some time back. Ade's was tyco. Arsha is class, although his reaction to it was probably because he thought it was tyco. Yes. ahaha. Whatever. Ade had the boing to the ball. Arsha's went straight in.

Dudu seems to like riding Arshavin. Have they became BFFs? I liked how he messed up his hair. Might piss Arsha's Yulia off since she airflew their Russian hairstylist in to do his hair because London has a lack of good ones. Whoever shaved Cesc's head should be shot.

Whoever advised Theo to keep a moustache should be shot too.

The night is still young, and Chip N Dale Rescue Rangers is on Disney Channel. Lol. And the brother wants me to give up the kids channels.

NO SIRRRR.

I still enjoy watching Bananas in Pajamas.

What is this Europe you speak of?
To think it was done so quickly.

It's bye bye Ade, off to Citeh.

He's going to fly up to S. Africa to join up with his teammates who are on a pre-season tour. He pulled off a sky blue shirt for his unveilling and tbh, it looked weird. Not being a racist or colourist or something but light blue is a bad colour for African players.

I wonder how it feels to ditch the glorious red and white for a less than appealing blue.

So, once again, this summer, the team loses an established first team player.

Last year was the most horrible with Flam and Gilberto being the main people who would have really changed the way our season turned out.

This time, Adebayor's gone and Arsene Wenger mentioned that he already wanted to leave last summer. Did his 30 goals for Arsenal right after Henry leave make him think he was the best in the world deserving a bigger pay cheque and a move to a club he decides is bigger than Arsenal?

30 goals and he didn't feel challenged enough to add to that and be on par to be an Arsenal legend.

To think that Thierry Henry was his mentor. I'm wondering what Henry told him when Adebayor told him he wanted to move to Citeh. Pretty bad portrayal of his ambition imo.

Whatever it is, he is no Thierry Henry and looking at our current crop of players, I can't say there's anyone who would be close to being touted as the next Henry. Whatever we have, they're a special bunch with special abilities and With Rosicky and Eduardo back it could mean a whole different way of attacking instead of just trying to beat the offside trap. The technical level is very high and when scoring beautiful goals are concerned, Vela and Dudu are high up on the charts. Remember dudu's amazing beach-soccer-ish goal? Marvelous. Like in Football Manager, Vela likes to lob the keeper. I lol-ed at that one in FM editor.

So. City now has Adebayor, Tevez, Santa Cruz, Robinho, Benjani, Bellamy and Bojinov as their up-front men. Everton are pretty smart asses for taking the opportunity to snag Jo for free on another season long loan. 7 strikers, albeit Robinho probably being played in a advanced midfield role. I don't think a lot of them would be happy to be sitting on the bench. The main concern of players this transfer window is the upcoming world cup and evidently, players who get more playing time for their clubs under their belt are more likely to be selected.

Mark Hughes will have his work cut out. Maintaining dressing room chemistry and then having to bring out the best of his players will be such an issue. Take Adebayor and his newly expanded fat pay packet. He has signed a 5-year deal which guarantees $ for the next 5 years, $ which would see him through to his oh-so-important retirement. Remember last season where he wanted a pay increase to add to his retirement fund. Now he has it. Is there anything to play for?

Perhaps these players all want to shoot their club to the all important Champion's League qualification. If their predecessors have showed them well, they would realise that it is not so simple. Take Everton for example. They sniffed the Elite league of Europe at the expense of Liverpool (sth Sp*rs can't do to us) and struggled at the group stages. Teams who have been in Europe for extended lengths of time are simply seeded amongst the first for the draws so in the group stages, they most likely face just one strong European team with 2 being relatively easier. The problem here with teams like City being in Europe is that they will draw the bigger teams of Europe and going through to the knock out stages would be a mean task.

If they had to pit themselves against another big spending team like Real Madrid, they would lose horribly. Same footballing principles, different pool of players available.

Before lesser teams than the big 4 reaches Europe, they already have their problems. When they are in Europe, their problems will mount. Why bother.

It is no fluke that each season the big 4 easily reaches the knockout stages.

So, what did I do with FM editor?

I sent Arsenal youngsters on loan to say, Crystal Palace for about 4 seasons. Then I take control of CP and get them promoted to the PL. Thereafter, they'll receive the high-flying tag in the PL as I take them to Europe. And it was a horrible task to take them far in that competition since they draw the big boys so early in the group stage.

My point of doing that is to give valuable first time experience to the Arsenal kids ok. It's quite fun. FM editor is the best part of FM I'd say. I sent C. Ron to Tampines Rovers on a 10-year contract on $200 a week. Should do the same to Adebayor. Of course, as the next season approaches, people bid 20m for C. Ron and the message "The board has accepted the transfer on your behalf since it is too good to turn down" will come up, for something like that. Twats of the Tampines Rovers board. Never see $ before lol.

This transfer window is going to shape the next FM 2010 a shitload more. If I knew better, Citeh players are going to complain to the media about a lack of first team football and then confront Mark Hughes.

Lulz.
