XI Heaven

Take Fabregas, Van Persie, Walcott and Vermaelan out of the equation and Arsenal’s chances of progress in the Champions League decreases significantly.I believe that scoring against Barca is the key and the ability to, if needs be get a second, gives us an advantage. RVP particularly, would have been the key in this as he us currently the inform striker.

If Arshavin, Nasri, Song and Wilshire perform to their utmost there is a chance. The rest of the team are okay but without a bit of star quality the flaws in our average squad are prominent.

The doubt for me is players such as Rosicky (unfortunately), Denilsen, and Diaby who I maintain should be nowhere near the Arsenal squad. Bendtner, Djorou. Chamakh, Eboue are okay but again you wonder where the sparks will emanate from.

That’s not to get ahead of oneself; we have a winnable game tomorrow night and an important Premiership game on Saturday. A lot can happen between now and our trip to the Camp Nou.

My belief in our best XI remains; however when we reach deeper into the squad concern sets in. Our best XI can achieve something  this season but when that XI is compromised you wonder who will step into the breach and be a hero. You never know who may just do that and rise to the occasion. It really is “one game at a time” time between now and the end of May.

Reasons to be cheerful?

So November arrives with cold weather and grey skies. Arsenal sit in 2 nd place with a great chance to make progress in the Carling Cup with a home draw against wigan Athletic. Poised to win   our Champions league group and with six months of the season left have 3 of our five tougher away fixtures out of the way, having taken a respectable 4 from 9. I say respectable as, the Man City away trip aside the draw at Anfield on the occasion of Hodgson’s first game was a good result and the Chelsea game I don’t think anyone can really speak of any injustice. That leaves away games at Old Trafford and Sp*rs (who as we know raise their game for this fixture). With injured players gradually returning and the Polish goalkeepers showing signs of optimism, we’re in relatively good shape. Or so you’d think. Yesterday at the Emirates West Ham were put to the sword late on after some stout defending, a good performance from Robert Green and a couple of missed opportunities. The level of indign...

There's something rotten in the state of Denmark

A number of blogs are pointing out what was evident to me yesterday; as a season ticket holder and Silver member i like thousands of others made plans to purchase an additional ticket for the Barcelona game using the frustrating and irritating online service, but guess what? no joy, just lots of waiting finger tapping and watching the dreaded 'loading' bar (to make matters worse I had asked my missus to do this as I was doing training). But no one got these additional tickets, that is no supporters judging by the general feedback! It seems to me that the additional seats will have probably gone to customers of a corporate nature. Ultimately for such a marquee (to use an American commercialism term) game I suspect that the club where never going to sell to supporters of the club, there is clearly a undercurrent at the Emirates that the club wants to have the stadium full of customers ie; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ognvWIwjKTQ The Emirates of the future?

PERSONALITY TEST

Played 23, 10 defeats, 4 draws and 9 victories; that's the factual bit out of the way. What does that tell us? I guess it is a set of statistics that reasonably reflect a mid table team. How we got here is something that countless column inches and hours of debate have gone into. How we move forward is the bigger question. Naturally, learning from past mistakes is a key element to moving forward but have Arsenal Football Club done that? Have Arsenal Football Club realised that a clear vision and plan is needed? When you look at the current squad its relatively easy to see where the strenghts are, and the weaknesses. The manager too, has strengths and weaknesses but one thing that is intangible is the personality of the club. Not so much "where are we" as "what are we?" To know what the club is is to know what the upper echelons think, what their plan and philosophy is and how the manager processes  that information. We can assume that the club decision makers wa...
