THE RUSSIAN STEPPES OUT

Back in the USSR-Sigourney Weaver

Twelve defining fixtures ahead, an ever expanding injury list, confidence and quality low. Here’s an idea; loan out one of your squad who, perhaps lacking in confidence or form, has quality. Arshavin has underperformed this season and clearly wants to figure in The Euro’s so good old Arsenal are rewarding this underachievement with a nice loan deal to enable this. I Like AA he had character, and in a squad full of blandness he was refreshing. He also leaves us with one or two tremendous memories.

Back in the USSR-Sue Pollard

We need all hands on deck at the moment so to send Arshavin on the Siberian Express is unfathomable. Then again we have Park and Chamakh, who Wenger doesn’t trust enough to give first team game time to and we have Miyachi who is not being bought back from loan.

Great let’s just decimate our ranks even further, on the brink of a crucial game. Oh well, I love it when we are underdogs!

I'm not down-The Clash

Despite all this negativity I’m not down. How can I be? a game against that lot, early enough to drown sorrows/celebrate in the pub after. Come Sunday I’m there at The Emirates. Thick or thin,thick or thin.

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...

"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...

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
