Foot in mouth Denilson

Denilson's tried changing his hairstyles now

he's decided that this look is best after his comments

Footballers seem to spend a lot of time talking; Twitters, interviews, pokes, biographies, posts as a consequence all manner of media sound bites appear.

This time it’s Arsenal’s ineffectual midfield not- so- maestro Denilson’s turn to create a furore.

A certain tabloid that doesn’t need me to give them any more publicity has stolen (there’s no other word for it) a piece from Arseblog & Arsenal Brazil http://www.arsenalbrasil.com.br/ – http://arseblog.com and spun it into an exclusive.

Players mouthing off about shortfalls in their midst is nothing new and Roy Keane, Patrick Vieira and the like have done it in the past but the difference being they led by example so were entitled to have an opinion.

Denilson (nice chap though he seems to be) does nothing of inspiration on the pitch. Any promise that he once had is unfulfilled and at 23 next month he is no longer a boy with potential, more of a 'Periera Neves' was.

The comments themselves are abit 'tomorrows chip paper' and the lack of leadership rests at the man who assembled the squad, but Denilson has done nothing on the pitch to entitle him to criticise. Play well first talk later.

If the rumour of Juve offering £11m is true I suggest Wenger gets his car keys and rushes the Brazilian to the Airport for a Turin bound flight post haste. Not for the remarks but for the fact he's no bloody good.

Denilson should let his feet do the talking instead of putting them in his mouth

COMMENT FROM TO BOLDLY GO
Although I agree with you that he should keep his mouth shut (especially in the public domain) and concentrate on his own performance. What he says is quite true, we do lack leadership at the club. TV is the closest we have to a captain but unfortunately he has been injured, not that Arsene would have given him the captaincy. Cesc is not a true captain yet and may never be, his demeanour, character are not those which for me represent a real leader of men like an Adams or Vieira. I would also like to state that if needed I am willing to drive Denilson to the airport anytime day or night.

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...
