Imagine we had bloody Bebe in our squad, getting games. Wenger would be absolutely crucified for buying him for £7 million, especially when someone like Van der Vaart would have done the world of good for them at almost the same price. For those who were screaming for Wenger to be sacked last week, I would genuinely like to know your thoughts on the quality of our rivals when they have lost badly. Like the Mancs on Tuesday and Chelsea losing 3-0 to Sunderland at home. Is this just a blip

What a topsy turvy Premier League season so far. It felt like only yesterday when the world was about to cave in, we had lost to that horrible lot down the road and a mixed team lost in Braga after dominating the whole game, a brush to one side of Villa at Villa park and then grabbing a semi final spot against Ipswich in the Mickey mouse cup as well as Robin Van Persie showing what a talent he is and things do not seem as glum as they seemed.

I remember back in my school days, I sat in my geography class, writing out formations and line ups. I don’t know what was going to change on a daily basis but nevertheless I continued to scribble

Seaman
Dixon Linighan  Adams Winterburn
Limpar Davis Jenson Merson
Smith Wright

Being young and know it all like, I thought I knew more than Mr Graham and I would often put in the likes of Mark Flatts into the team, waving my fists around in disgust that our wing wizard wasn’t in the first team from the reserves. I didn’t have the internet to express myself in those days, which I guess was a good thing.

Not much as changed in 2010 though, I am still writing up teams and formations albeit via photoshop and not at the back of work books but I guess I will never change. Since rewatching the victory against Wigan, I have been feeling rather excited about the return of Van Persie and wondered how Wenger will accommodate him along with Chamakh in Cesc’s absence. So how about this for a line up of attacking beauty?

Perhaps a bit light defensively if Van Persie does not go as far back as Cesc would when we are not in possession of the ball, especially when we have Arshavin playing in the side, although Arshavin against Villa was the new destroyer, well so his stats suggested.

Anyway, we shall see what happens against Fulham over the weekend I guess but I wouldn’t be surprised to see Robin and Chamakh start their first game together in some form.

In other news Denilson has spoken about our squad being stronger this season and that we have the capability to win trophies. Well Deni, I could have told everyone that, not that everyone will believe in that view of course. The Carling cup would be a fantastic way to shake the Bale off our backs and then use the momentum of that to push for the Premier League and Champions League.

After a few bad results I am hoping that the team are starting to gel together at the right time. Van Persie looks good after his injury, Theo, Gibbs, Bendtner, Vela and co have had a run out and hopefully can find form with games. Arshavin showed us what he can do against Villa (long may that continue) and Nasri is in the form of his life. If we can avoid making silly defensive errors then why should we not be positive in our assault for honours. Perhaps we can win without assaulting people along the way but hey.

We have the best squad in the league (apart from Spurs it seems. not sure why this keeps being peddled by the media) and our direct rivals have not impressed when going further than their first eleven players. Watching the highlights of Manchester United vs West Ham it got me thinking about the differences and quality.

I take my hat off to the Mancs, who have not really played well this season yet they are top of the league, if they stay fit and gain top form then they will be difficult to shift but that team they put out was awful. Imagine we had bloody Bebe in our squad, getting games. Wenger would be absolutely crucified for buying him for £7 million, especially when someone like Van der Vaart would have done the world of good for them at almost the same price.

For those who were screaming for Wenger to be sacked last week, I would genuinely like to know your thoughts on the quality of our rivals when they have lost badly. Like the Mancs on Tuesday and Chelsea losing 3-0 to Sunderland at home. Is this just a blip or do they have major problems?

Not that we do not have our own faults but when I mention the opposition then I usually do not get much of a response back for some reason.

And with that I shall leave you all for now, Wrap up warm.

Back tomorrow.
