MISSIVE IMPOSSIBLE

I remember a time when newsnowarsenal would be checked over the summer on a regular basis, newspapers flicked through, Sport radio stations listened to and the search for rumour and conjecture was ongoing. Potential transfers; players in players out. Then last year I created my own media lockdown. Switched off and laid back. This summer I shall be instigating a similar policy. Arsenal will be making some changes this summer; that’s not only my expectation but has to be a fact (doesn’t it?) and as usual nothing will happen until the eleventh hour. With nowt going on there is nowt much to say. A self imposed silence if you will.

Therefore, dear reader, any missives coming out of Arsenalism Towers will be, at best, infrequent, until such time as there is anything to report or comment upon, should a crack in the transfer window appear I may leap into action...or not. Basically until I get back from sunning myself in foreign climes.

Should any of you out there wish to report anything or, indeed make a point/contribution/complaint please feel free via arsenalism@hotmail.co.uk

As an older reader of Arsenalism I'd like to say its very difficult to
read today's outpouring due to the orange writing. As Arsenalism's
almost an integral part of my morning, and to have it there without
being able to enjoy it, I simply had to lodge a protest.

Yours faithfully -

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...

"The future has not been written. There is no fate but what we make for ourselves. I wish I could believe that."-John Connor To overcome Skynet was not easy, it involved time, belief and an indomitable human spirit. To beat a machine equipped with superior weaponry and a ruthless access to resources to increase its arsenal took ingenuity and a "never say die" attitude. Abu Dhabi is the ground zero of Skynet and Manchester CXV are the Terminators. The thing about Skynet is that there are no qualms about what their aim is, there are no notions of fairness. "Listen, and understand! Manchester CX are out there! They can't be bargained with. They can't be reasoned with. They doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And they absolutely will not stop... ever, until someone stops them flagrantly breaking rules"-Kyle Reese In a landscape where one team dominates it is up to a resistance to topple them, this is made hard when using resources that were ga...

HATE

Then Now Earlier today Captain Kirk sent me the following video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sG1f-v88-kU&sns=em To say it is both disturbing and upsetting is an understatement. We see the beautiful game as something of a mirror to society and try to look on the community of supporters as a positive force. A set of human beings with some values borne out of an understanding of what this great sport of ours can give us. However, it takes a certain amount of myopia from the Football Authorities to proclaim that all is well. The issues that were amplified over the weekend at Old Trafford cannot be trivialised when we see the full extent of hatred; in any form. The violence is shocking as we see people attacked on a basis that is a result of flawed thinking, and the powers that be proclaim all is well; all is not well. So when I look at those images, I have to ask myself this… http://youtu.be/6RVDQgVxprE
