ENEMY OF THE STATE

'JT''s view of FA HQ

If Arsenal v Chelsea becomes a circus of vitriol let us ponder the reasons why. Terry was always a pantomime villain for his off field shenanigans and his general obnoxiousness and now he is defined as that blight on society; the Racist. His treatment by the FA was, in my opinion, lenient (let's not forget that they, in effect, allowed him to play in the Euros having played a part in delaying the court case) and his indignation at them having the temerity to want to take matters further smacks of arrogance and denial.

He's an unpleasant individual and were he less important to his club he would have most likely been shown the door (Jody Morris anyone?). His 'rap sheet' is remarkable in as much as it covers all the bases of bad behaviour and when he rocks up at the Emirates I dare say he will have opprobrium heaped upon him with extreme prejudice. Ashley Cole, his collaborator, will feel relieved that he will not be the focus of the Emirates faithful's ire, although I think the whole 'cashley' situation lies firmly in the draw marked "who cares anymore.

Of course the best way to have any impact on Terry's arrogance is for The Arsenal to take all three points from the Champions of Europe, yes that phrase is hard to type without vomiting, and close the gap. 

It's another test for us in the early stages of the season and an indicator of how our new look squad deals with potential challengers. It's also one of the games where the home support can get behind our boys against a common enemy and let's make no bones about it, this particular enemy is led by an individual who is the enemy of not only football, and the values it tries to uphold, but common decency. After a summer of heroes Terry really is villain, a real enemy of the state.

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...

There's something rotten in the state of Denmark

A number of blogs are pointing out what was evident to me yesterday; as a season ticket holder and Silver member i like thousands of others made plans to purchase an additional ticket for the Barcelona game using the frustrating and irritating online service, but guess what? no joy, just lots of waiting finger tapping and watching the dreaded 'loading' bar (to make matters worse I had asked my missus to do this as I was doing training). But no one got these additional tickets, that is no supporters judging by the general feedback! It seems to me that the additional seats will have probably gone to customers of a corporate nature. Ultimately for such a marquee (to use an American commercialism term) game I suspect that the club where never going to sell to supporters of the club, there is clearly a undercurrent at the Emirates that the club wants to have the stadium full of customers ie; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ognvWIwjKTQ The Emirates of the future?

PERSONALITY TEST

Played 23, 10 defeats, 4 draws and 9 victories; that's the factual bit out of the way. What does that tell us? I guess it is a set of statistics that reasonably reflect a mid table team. How we got here is something that countless column inches and hours of debate have gone into. How we move forward is the bigger question. Naturally, learning from past mistakes is a key element to moving forward but have Arsenal Football Club done that? Have Arsenal Football Club realised that a clear vision and plan is needed? When you look at the current squad its relatively easy to see where the strenghts are, and the weaknesses. The manager too, has strengths and weaknesses but one thing that is intangible is the personality of the club. Not so much "where are we" as "what are we?" To know what the club is is to know what the upper echelons think, what their plan and philosophy is and how the manager processes  that information. We can assume that the club decision makers wa...
