It doesn't take long to get infected by the Spurs delusional virus. Once you breathe the same air as Harry Redknapp, Ledley King and company then there is no getting away from it. Rafael Van der Vaart is the latest to show publicly that he has caught the infection
Cast your mind back to the invincibles, a team packed with quality, guile and steel. A team that went the entire league season without losing a single game. Well we wouldn't actually have an invincible side to speak of if that squad had anywhere near our injury record to contend with
Since the Brazilian came to Arsenal on trial, he has had nothing but hype from fans, bloggers and even the coaching staff from what I have read. It is not hard to understand why he has had so much attention. He is a crowd pleaser, a dribbler. One of those players who make you get up from your seat.
He is after all a Manchester City player, what on earth is he supposed to say? No, Arsenal are much bigger and better. That would be a wonderful message to send to his supporters. Even if he does believe that, does anyone really care? I couldn't actually care much less what Emmanuel Adebayor has to say about Arsenal. When he was at Arsenal I enjoyed his highs and was disappointed with his lows
Theo now has the record for the longest consecutive winning run in an England shirt. Capello really did cock up didn't he? All he had to do was play Theo in every game of the world cup
Thomas Vermaelen has played down his goal scoring abilities and has prioritised clean sheets, which is the correct order, I agree but there is nothing wrong with a goal or two. Thomas will always be a threat from set pieces
I think at the very least, you should be able to pronounce a players name correctly. It doesn't take very long to go on Arsenal TV online and listen to how the player says his own name. Wenger has said these players names many times in press conferences
I now fully understand the compliments and the lack of goals. He is such a team player who works for everyone else almost at the expense of himself. I am sure his goal average will increase
That phrase 'We will never win anything with Almunia in goal' is beginning to sound like some sort of fact and it is rather annoying if the truth be told
Wenger has said that the transfer dealings may not be finished yet, which leaves the door ajar for some late activity. Will we see another Diarra, Denilson type signing?
