ATTENTION DEFICIT




The show goes on, slowly but surely with little fuss Arsenal keep on keeping on. The win against Wolves gives us a last ten results that look quite remarkable when broken down (I never tire of seeing this) WWWWWWWLWW; great form in anybody’s book. Not much mention of us this morning, nor on last nights MOTD when, inevitably we appeared late on in the show.

With the stuff going on at Wembley we have a nice break until meeting Wigan at The Emirates. A team and manager it’s hard not to like but all sentiment must be put aside and their walls must come tumbling down on Monday night. Talking of Wembley there is a lot of talk in the media about the two semi finals; personally I don’t care about these games, I will definitely find a pub without TV when they are on.

I simply don’t care about the FA Cup right now. Correction. I am slightly concerned about the prospect of the showpiece of the FA cup final being blighted by the possible appearance of Terry and Suarez; neither of these reprehensible characters should grace such an occasion. When exactly is Terry appearing in court over the Anton Ferdinand situation? Funny that; the courts dragging their feet.

We will, of course, in all likelihood see Terry at the Emirates on the 24th and another victory over his team would be nice. ECL issues will be at the fore for both clubs so it could be a cracker. Let’s see how we go against Wigan first though.

So we wait until Monday to get the ball rolling again, with a hint of optimism that all the talk will be about matters of FA cups and not us.

I like it when we are not being talked about by the press and pundits. I like it when we are ‘under the radar’ we don’t need the attention, we don’t need the fuss; we are The Arsenal we keep on rolling.

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
