ARSENALISM©

disillusioned adj having lost one's ideals, illusions, or false ideas about someone or something; disenchanted Football has reached, or is near to reaching, a tipping point; a point at which the average supporter says "I've had enough". As an Arsenal supporter I have pretty much had enough. This is no 'woe is me' ploy this is the real thing Enough of rip off prices that feed the gluttonous agents and board members of clubs. Enough of ill mannered footballers wrapped up in their world of Headphones, Bentleys and tattoos, who feel it beneath them to talk to their supporters or sign an autograph for a child. Enough of watching clubs pile on debt and still function as if immune from the idea of morality as their supporters struggle in recessive times. Enough of our club treating its supporters as customers. Enough of the nonsensical arrogance of Arsenal employees who treat phone enquiries and letters to the club as an inconvenience. Enough of a cl...

At this time of conjecture and before I go off on holiday and self imposed media lockdown I suppose I should take a peek at next season for Arsenal; a season where we surely must be looking to win something (in trophy terms, not just aiming at ECL qualification). New signings? Yes there have been two so far in Podolski; unimpressive in the Euros and Giroud who was France ’s leading scorer last season. I would expect a couple more and I would also expect that none of us would know much about them. What of the children recently fostered, Bendtner, Arshavin and the interminable Denilson? I can’t really see any of them returning but if only one does I fear it will be Denilson, as Arsene seems to want to consistently flog dead horses. Speaking of which, faith will still be held out for Diaby (Arsene’s pet project for many a year) being able to play back to back minutes in an Arsenal shirt. Surely we have seen the last of Chamakh and the Park experiment, or whatever it was...

  Amid claims that Spain ’s success is based on a passing game reliant on ball retention rather than actually trying to score, Arsene Wenger believes that Spain ’s approach, while acknowledging the quality of the players, is a negative one. I will qualify this by taking the direct quotes as written and assume there has been no jiggery-pokery in their publication/translation. "These guys are more than outstanding footballers; they are really intelligent and they are winners," Wenger wrote on Eurosport "I want to give them credit for that. "However, they have betrayed their philosophy and turned it into something more negative. "Originally they wanted possession in order to attack and win the game; now it seems to be first and foremost a way not to lose. "They have become more conservative, and they don't want to give the ball up because they don't want to give you a chance to score. "That's the impression you g...
