arsenalism in avoiding 'Greeks bearing gifts' headline shock

As we warmly receive our Greek visitors, it's ironic that the Olympian spirit was shattered in Germany last night. Yes I'm talking about Tevez, the epitome of the Little Lord Fauntleroy syndrome prevalent amongst modern footballers. The results that both Manchester Clubs had last night has been lost amidst 'Tevez-gate' so it will be interseting to see how the press behave should The Arsenal win tonight; a win would mean a better start to our Champions League campaign than both of theirs.

Tevez Theme

But lets not get ahead of ourselves. Tonight is a tough game. Ποδοσφαιρικός Σύλλογος Ολυμπιακός Βόλου are no mugs and we have our own problems with form and injury but lets see how we go. What this seasons ECL has shown is that there are a lot of teams on an equal footing and to successfully negotiate the group stage will not be easy for a great number of clubs.

It would be nice to see a coherent performance tonight as it will be another step in the immersion of our new players. A win would also give us a boost ahead of Sunday's league game, which is another hard game for us; not due to the debatable qualities of our opponents but because we are looking to string some wins together.

So I look forward to a Champions League night at The Arsenal. There really is nothing quite like it.

Ελάτε σε σας Gunners!

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...
