Another week another Must win scenario

Phew, what a week it's been. Sunday's blistering performance certainly gave us a ll the feel good factor that has lasted for days. Not just the overturning of the prophets of 'balance of power' but the manner in which each and every man in a red shirt decided to take back the game from the hands of the enemy. The atmosphere at the emirates on this fateful Sunday will resonate with all of us that were there for many a year.
Valuable, precious league points and essential goals harvested means we now sit fourth with a seven point gap betwixt us and the third placed team, but let us not forget that we are only in Fourth on Goal difference with lots of football still to be played.

Our adversaries on Saturday have had their own feel good factor following on from their marginal victory at Wembley. Regardless of how the game was won they came home with the Red & White ribboned spoils. Thus the two big winners of the week lock horns at Anfield in a game we have to win  and a game that Liverpool want to win.
Take three point s and the pressure shifts to Sp*rs who entertain a machine like Man Utd and Chelsea who go to West Brom probably confident of taking all three points.
So let's look to win first and then we can focus on Newcastle and to a lesser extent Milan

One eye on the two London clubs sure, but our main focus needs to be maintaining our league momentum that has seen us score 14 goals in our last three Premier League games. Sunday's victory had shades of Brady and the five goal rout and Anfield, of course, will always hold great memories for all Arsenal supporters and with their current wretched home form we have to grab our chance and maintain our confidence and above all we need to show what we did against sp*rs we need to show that "it's up for grabs now" mentality

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
