ANOTHER BRICK IN THE WALL


The Mission was; go to a hostile ground to face the Bundasliga Champions and come away with something.
We did and, save for a wonder goal from Peresic which Barcelona or Man Utd or Brazil 1970 for that matter could have done nothing about, we may have come away with all three points.
It's all about context at the moment, a building process and tonight was another brick in the wall for The Arsenal.

Well done boys!

    Yes , a good enough result, which I would and most gooners would settle for before the match. Fortunately the areas of exposure are those that we can fix in house. Centre Field have both Ramsey and Jack to come in. and CB we have Thomas to come in. I dont know about Been-a-yawn though. He should have been replaced by Frimpong early in 2nd half when it became clear he was not at the races, and brought Arteta forward where he could link play a bit better.

    Reminicent of the Tottenham home game, 4 - 2 up and AW takes off Theo and left the way open for their left back to rob us of two points, was the substitution of the captain, and with him and Gervinho went any fear Dortmond had of conceding a second, and had a free hand to mount a series of attacks. The tactical substitution of AW still amazes me, as they virtually always put our own team under pressure.

    Anyway the worst is over for a few matches, as we should have enough for Blackburn, and we should be able to see what Ryo and Park and others can do on Tuesday and then Home to Bolton.

    Hopefully we will go back for M'Vila during the winter window, to give us the winter / spring lift for the run in.

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

"IF WE BEHAVE LIKE THEM, THEN WHAT IS THE POINT IN WINNING? "- John Connor

"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...

LEAGUE OF ORDINARY GENTLEMEN

Sunderland V Sp*rs ended goalless meaning that Sp*rs currently sit third. It was a game that had 0-0 written all over it after about 30 minutes. The baton now passes to us in today’s fixture against Man City. A win gives us a two point advantage and a draw puts us back in third. One side that we need to be mindful of in the shake up for 3 rd & 4 th is Newcastle who have hung on all season and present a threat to ECL qualification. What the SAFC v THFC game showed is the poverty of this current Premier League; it was awful. A cursory comparison between teams in the Premier era makes grim reading for the current state of the game. The Man Utd of 99 would definitely beat the current side, The Newcastle of Keegan, The Chelsea of Mourinho, the Villa of Atkinson, the Blackburn of Dalgleish, The Liverpool of Fowler, McManaman, Owen etc would batter the Liverpool of 2012. Certainly the Invincibles would put the current Arsenal team to the sword. Even teams like Midd...
