My point is; it’s physically impossible for everyone to be like that. Those that can’t attend everything, shouldn’t be chastised by others. The footballing world today is a global community. Arsenal have fans in all the corners of the world, made up by a plethora of varying ethnicities. I follow Arsenal because I love them, and because it’s something very
What marks the site to which I refer as my favourite is that the opinion is honest. It doesn't waver, it doesn’t crumble under mass scrutiny. It remains - even amidst a maelstrom of hatred. When I click on for my daily bit of digest, I know there’s a chance I’ll be howling wildly in bewildered disagreement or nodding my head as an opinion reflects my own. What I know I’ll never be is disinterested
Given that we have lost Arshavin and we were a little exposed at full back, we may be looking in those 2 positions in the summer. Vertonghen has been strongly linked, along with an attacking midfielder/winger type - like Junior Hollett. Obviously, every man and his dog has been linked to us, but my feeling is that if we do get Podolski, we will only need a couple more to really challenge next season
As the hours passed, something beautiful occurred before my eyes. Rivalries were put aside. Where petulant jibes and insults ordinarily reside, a sense of unity and goodwill had replaced them. The global football community came together as one cohesive entity to get behind a player who was fighting for his life. I was genuinely moved by some of the tributes and comments from all across the world.
Cast your mind back a few years to Henry's final season at the club, or Cesc Fabregas'. Both had an unmistakable resignation to their mannerisms; an almost sombre celebration would greet a goal. Whilst I'm not attempting to cast aspersions on the will-to-win or determination of either player, I did always get the sense that both individuals had made
I love Rosicky as a player, a selfless player who improves those around him. A player who will give you the ball at the right time and always show for it if you want to give it back. What I had almost forgot about was his drives forward. Poor Tiote was turned in knots as he attempted to get close to the Czech wizard but a shift of the hips and then a spin in the other
Only an idiot would sit there and deny that Tottenham have been on an upward trajectory in recent years while Arsenal have been either sliding in the opposite direction or, if I'm being particularly generous, have stagnated. They have an impressive squad of players, a manager who for all his faults seems to actually know what he's doing and at times, play the kind of football we all enjoy watching but sadly can't simply because it's THEM who are playing it. In this bizarro Premier
Ramsey is the player being groomed to be a player that Cesc was to us but at the moment he isn't but I've no doubt in my mind that he could be a better player than Cesc for us or close to what Cesc was for us. The bottom line is he isn't at the moment and that's why there is a lack of creativity in our
AC Milan looked like a fresh hungry Premier League team while Arsenal looked like a slow, tired and laboured Italian side. Our great record against Italian sides in the past have often stemed from the speed of our football, the aggression in the challenges, the tempo that we set but for some reason this was non existent from the very start.
