A vintage arsenal score 1-0
Hiii
Late ,late late so sorry.I don't know whether the players want to achieve the vintage arsenal score 1-0 on the great clubs birthday.We just did that,like the old arsenal.
Looking at the match ,the first half we saw so many chances being wasted .The culprits included gervinho,walcott,ramsey and i have to admit rvp.We were dominant and created a few chances but our usual 'clinical' finishing gave no goals. While in second half it was like everton wanted a draw and they introduced defender.They defended deeper with great understanding and attacked as on counters.Time rolled by and then birthday gift for arsenal arrived.Arteta passed to song,who then lobbed the boll diagonally above their defence and who else RVP finished in exquisite left footed volley.The keeper had no time to move and was dumbstruck.Me too..and all the 60000 fans with the legends too were dumbstruck.Then the celebrations erupted.Pure magic from nowhere, the pass and the finish.We finished the game with more assurance unlike the last year .
The defenders were good with all the 4 being the center backs.Djorou and vermalean were good at the full back positions.Miquel too impressed.Ramsey had a slight dissapointing day especially with his finishing.the midfielders were not accurate enough as offsides increased.Anyway good performance .
Also it was cool to watch schezny kissing the left foot of rvp..Yeah he is right.That foot is a magic wand doing what we need at the right time with magnificent movements.

Thought on the tactics
So the day of premier league has arrived with arsenal facing eveton.Wenger has made clear to his players to concentrate on the league than thinkinh of champions league.He is absolutely right.The coming six games will have huge effect on the rest of the season.
The team looks a bit short at the moment.In the defense we would be playing all the four central defenders .I iam guessing(who cant) mertskr,kos at the heart of the defense,djoru at right and verm at the back.or if wengwe has confidence at miquel we could see emrt verm at centre and kos at right.I t depends on the boss right?.The remaining team song arteta ramseywith gerv,theo and rvp.
Todays game we would be under the pressure.So passing will have to be quick .Song and ramsey mainly should not loose the possession at the centre of the pitch.The movements off the ball too should be good so as to be in a better pass receiving position.Gervinho and theo should stretch the defence and cut back the crosses.if miquel is playing gerv should do his defensive duties.(he does that now ).Song should not make too much of fouls especially near the box as everton would use the set pieces to maximum effect.
And arteta plying against his best friends,wont be easy .Another astonishing fact is that arteta is the joint second top scorer of everton with two goals.So thats for the day .Hope everyone would be watching the game

What makes arsenal stingy
HIii
Emirates is buzzing these days and according to the officials they are preparing themselves for the great 125 th year celebrations.Even though we could not show the form on the pitch at the start of the season, now we are exactly showing off.I would be writing once in a while explaining different philosophies the club now practices.
At this time the club, mainly our boss is criticized for lack of spending money.True as a fan i too would want the club to spend.Do u think wenger doesn't love having world class players in his team?Who wouldn't want ?So anyone bashing him on not spending is utterly out of mind.He does love having good players .And one of the example which shows he spends money is henry.He spend 10-11 million on the year1999.
So time passed and we built a new stadium.As you would expect the huge amount was taken as loan.Before that ,ie wengers beginning years he had the freedom to spend freely and that was curbed after the new stadium.Realistically board put wenger under trouble by decreasing transfer amounts as the major income was used to finish off loans.Now too the loan has not been fully paid .What wenger wants is the end of the loan ,at which he should be able to spend again freely.
And what does we do?We shout ,criticize and snigger at him while he accepts it and doesnt have the ethics to tell about the board's doing to the public.Guys we should respect this man as he is the reason what we are today and what we would be, after another 100 years as he has set the club with deep visionary.
Now in other news,it seems schezny is supporting degea through twitter.good.Angha would most probably in the arsenal team for evetron..And in todays transfer we are linked to damio,vertonghen,alex,cahill,goetze....Hmmm how much can i hear in ione day!!

Two in Two out
Hiii
So at last the group phase is over and two English teams are out and two are in.One of the team ousted is Manchester city.The million dollar team could not stand to expectations even though they beat bayern which had their fringe players.And now their captain kompany wants them to win europe championship .Well best of luck .Money cant win everything in the pitch can it?
The other team is Manchester united .The best team in the world,the team coached by the best manager, the team with never say die attitude ,is out.yeah its true .They would be playing europe league with the spurs .I feel pity on them since they were on the hardest group in this competetion .They had to face the almighty otelul gelati,the supreme benefica and the magnificient basel.Sorry for them.Next year i will pray that they would be in an easier group.
One of the team qualified is chelsea.congrats to them.The heat surrounding AVB might lessen thanks to this qualification.
The other team qualified is relegation battlers titled by the experts ,the team coached by money stinger ,the one man club,the cesc less team THE ARSENAL .Whoah would you believe it.I think the reason arsenal qualified is, since they were in the easiest group containing german and french minnows.Every team was hoping to be in such an easier group but by luck arsenal got it.
December ,one week is over and this month we would be looking to concentrate in the league.All the best arsenal.And apparently beeny would love to stay here till his contract ends.Good for him.And our boss feels madrid and barcelona are best .True....

Thought about the match
Hii
The match was an embarrassing to some extent mainly at the defence..I was surprised when both santos and vermalean started the match.but both could not stop squillachi from being himself.
Looking at the first half they pressed us higher up the pitch and our younger duo in midfield could not stop from loosing possession.And the defence after passing themselves ,when having no chance passed it back to the goalkeeper who hit it to the centre of the pitch.And the process circulated throughout the match.The first goal was an error from both squillachi and djourou.The second was an howler from our substitue mannone .He lost his bearing and could not stop the goal.In the second half we tried to attack and chamakh was effective.He gave two good chance to benny and he finished one with style and perfection.Then again we looked classy at times through rosicky but could not score the equaliser.And eventually they hit the third.They deserved it since our defence was in shambles and had no coordination.the midfield lacked the ideas and arshavin as ever was invisible most of the game.
Now if i think of the positives chamkh worked hard and was creating chances.Frimpong played nicely but lost possession .Alex threatened once in a while but defencevely did not give much support.But we should not expect much from him as he has only started..
Also hope that santos injury is not serious and will be back soon.Eventhough we lost the match we can hope that this is for the best and remember it is not easy to play your first euro game in such a festive crowd supporting the opposition

youngsters day out
Hiii
January is fast approaching and transfer mill has started its full function currently linking us to podolski ,goetze,hazard........to some unknown 22 year old Mexican player.I think its really a waste of time reading those gossip columns .
And now about the game ,as my heading suggest its youngsters day out .Did u see frimpong with wenger in the press conferenceI think he is really having his managers confidence.18 member squad announced Andrey Arshavin Yossi Benayoun Marouane Chamakh Francis Coquelin Johan Djourou Craig Eastmond Lukasz Fabianski Emmanuel Frimpong Vito Mannone Ignasi Miquel Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain Oguzhan Ozyakup Ju Young Park Tomas Rosicky Andre Santos Sebastien Squillaci Thomas Vermaelen Nico Yennaris
An interesting point to note is that we only have five original defender and two make shift defenders in yennaris and eastomnd.Coincidently both play at right back.So one of yennaris/eastmond will start in right back.(probably yennaris).Then defence will contain squillaci and djourou at its heart.And miquel at the left back.if we play 4-4-2 i dont see both benny as well as rosicky starting.So in the case if we play our usual 4-5-1 we could see alex ,benny on flanks frimpong,coquelin and rosick controlling the midfield.So we will have either chamakh or park upfront.Oh guys i forgot about arshavin.Another substitute appearance will dampen his confidence .So wenger will have a headache with that.
What i expect from this match is another spectacular performance from alex the ox.He must have started to feel the burden of expectations on him.But hopefully he will succeed today.Frimpong and coquelin will provide tenaciousness in the midfield.Defense worry me the most as most probably we will have djouou,squillachi,yennaris and miquel.Of which two are making their debuts.
Vela has done something special on the last match. If u have not seen then check this out
http://t.co/roBGZZFq.Good for him.Congratulations to rvp for winning the goal of the month award.And am waiting for the night of youngsters .

Time for guys like Hansen to shut up Right?
Hiii
What a vintage performance from the ole ole ole beautiful arsenal. Yeah true i am late.Sorry guys fever took me the nights arsenal shattered wigan and i was under rest.
When the season started the media were bluffing sack wenger ,arsenal playing in championship....so on.Then after turning the corner(as our boss said it) bums like alan hansen talking of one man arsenal team and not giving any credit.After that we scored a few matches without rvp and he tells opposition played stupid.Its crazy to hear from such a man who has played football .I also don't understand how the hell he receives £1.5millionper year for motd program talking this bluff.So at least now when arsenal is winning it is time for him and others to say good about our team or at least show the worth of the money they are paid for. or mr alan hasen please shut you mouth for goodness sake.
Now to the match according to the opta stats we did 33 passes for our third goal.So no end to the tipy tapy play even after losing cesc.That shows we have the talent .up up gunners.We are right behind u.
Another mention to the away match supporters how great they were .Also wonderful to see szczesny asking the fans to be silent and singing we are by far the greatest team and then all the fans joined him ....

Andrey Arshvavin
Hiii
As time goes by i would be writing about our players.Now when i look at the arsenal team i feel sorry for the cute russian arshavin.
He arrived after a protracted transfer from russia.I still remembering the time i glued to my pc to hear about him joining us.First it was like the transfer had broken down and my friends began to curse the money pincher wenger(i surely dont agree with that )and then suddenly he had joined as on deadline day.He announced his arrival to the premier league with an awesome foursome goals against the liverpool.Wow i was so happy.But after that even though he has been good he has not been his best.
Speaking about him he has technical ability,vision and a knack for goals. He was really great during his first season.But then he began to fade.Looking at him his original position is through the centre.But wenger prefers him in the flank.Th reason is obvious .Have u seen ramsey while playing in the CAM position, tracking back to help defensively and get the ball back.Exactly thats the reason he is not playing in the middle.He wants his players to track back. So arshavin was deployed in the flank.
Many before the start of the year wanted arshavin to be sold citing the reason that he is not good to continue.But if we look at the stats he scored 10goals and made 17 assists.Cool right !Not in good form and getting such stats.That's arshavin.He looks ordinary in most of the games completely invisible but have rare moments.What the fans demand is he should play like that every minute.True.So its areal dilemma whether u need arshavin or not.
Thinking of him this season he has not had a real impact for our team.When against sunderland
i thought he was back when he dribbled through four defenders in the penalty box.Oh what a sight it was.Then against bolton another good performance.Rest of the games he had looked ordinary.
This russian magician continue to amaze fans with his magic like the goal against the barcelona(I would neve forget that .Will YOU?) as well as frustrate with his ordinary perfomance.We want you arshavin .U should be back with bang.
Lets hope for the better isn't it?

Arsenal vs wigan
Hii
Coming to the match with a week off for most of the team will be good.Team news is good considering no further setbacks.But its frustrating to see Diaby out.How the lad could be feeling,considering the time spent on the injury table and the way he worked hard to regain the fitness now thats the reason behind barton incident (remembering 4-4).
So with a strong team even a pessimistic would not be thinking of a defeat to the current arsenal team.the present is good at play as well as mentality.I expect the team with gervinho,rvp,walct,song,arteta,ramsey,santos,vermalean,metskr,kosnly.(surely anyone can guess that lineup )i also hop alex can get a substitute appearance today.the chances of winning looks pretty good but fingers crossed.
The other news transfer gossips are bubbling day by day linking us to top players as well as unknown.A mexican midfielder has apparently already signed for us according to many sources.But wengert has dismissed it telling its an agent play.Lets see.
Arshavin as we know is a great player but curently lacks in confidence.Lets hope he can regain his form by cominh today as late substitute.Ifeel sorry for him as he is such a wonderful player on his day.
And before ending its cool to see the team enjoying themselves.Watch the team playing table tennis at arsenal.com.
