ENJOY THE MOMENT

GUNNERS KEEP FIRING

"Enjoy the moment" That's my current mantra. We are currently riding high and receiving plaudits, and rightly so, for how we have apparently surprised everyone. Yesterday's game against Norwich featured four of the best goals you are likely to see in a game and the defining element in all the strikes was confidence, a level of confidence that we haven't seen in a while. What that's down to is hard to say but clearly the arrival of a genuine world class player has enabled others to have more breathing space and adapt to the challenge of matching the level of quality of our number eleven. Next month there are some mouthwatering fixtures to look forward to and 'looking forward' is the optional phrase as in the past there has been something of a feeling of dread surrounding playing our direct competition. The Liverpool game is a throwback to the era when the two clubs were slugging it out for top spot and Snap's I've Got The Power was top of the charts. The European games are an opportunity to gauge how far we have come and a fixture against a Mourinho led Chelsea has been a bone of contention previously and a chance to turn them over is much anticipated.
At the moment the Gunners are firing and in the famous words of Brian Moore "we kept our powder dry" in the sumer and the team are doing all that we could ask of them. So let's have one eye on the future but remember to enjoy the moment.

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

"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...

LEAGUE OF ORDINARY GENTLEMEN

Sunderland V Sp*rs ended goalless meaning that Sp*rs currently sit third. It was a game that had 0-0 written all over it after about 30 minutes. The baton now passes to us in today’s fixture against Man City. A win gives us a two point advantage and a draw puts us back in third. One side that we need to be mindful of in the shake up for 3 rd & 4 th is Newcastle who have hung on all season and present a threat to ECL qualification. What the SAFC v THFC game showed is the poverty of this current Premier League; it was awful. A cursory comparison between teams in the Premier era makes grim reading for the current state of the game. The Man Utd of 99 would definitely beat the current side, The Newcastle of Keegan, The Chelsea of Mourinho, the Villa of Atkinson, the Blackburn of Dalgleish, The Liverpool of Fowler, McManaman, Owen etc would batter the Liverpool of 2012. Certainly the Invincibles would put the current Arsenal team to the sword. Even teams like Midd...
