Love it or hate it. This is where we will start for a long time.

Hello Gooners.

How many of you like to go to under hill?

Some does, some does not and there are some who don't care as long it is Arsenal.

There are few who made the squad and there are few who did not. Randall, Hoyte, Watt are the notable absentees. Randall I really think this is curtain to his Arsenal career, but Hoyte and Watt they are good players who could have become even better but its at Arsenal or somewhere else remains to be seen. I am looking forward to watch Miguel and Nordveit, they both had good loan spell, definitely they both are long way from the first team. But very few Arsenal fan would be interested in these young players. Majority of them would be looking forward to watch our new signings in Chamakh and Laurient play. Barnet is definitely not the kind of game on which we can judge them, how will they perform week in week out in the premier league. But we can see their ability in the air, heading and stuff like that, most of us know how good Chamakh is when it comes to heading the ball even I have seen him play in couple of champions league game, I was really impressed by his overall play. I am looking forward to see Koschielny play since he is relatively unknown to almost all the Arsenal fans.

Then there are other young players like our very own Wilshere who was a stand out performer in last year's pre-season matches, would he stay would he go we don't know about that. Then there is JET and Lansbury who many believe will definitely make it to the first team. There's also Eastmond, these are the young players who are very well known among the Arsenal faithful.

But the point is who all will make it to Austria with the first team, some say this match will decide who will go to Austria but really I don't see it that way. Arsene would have seen all the players in training and made up his mind who all will go, he might not be sure about few so he might see this game as the decider for those few. But rest of the Squad for Austria is probably written down somewhere in his head.

There is no point going into detail about this match, its just good to see Arsenal play again, match is being shown on Arsenal TV Online. Congratulation to those who won the Arsenal TV Online subscription for this match.

Have a great day Gooners. Enjoy the match.

Finally Time Has Come....

At the start of the season, when the fixture list was made almost everyone pointed out these four games as to how Arsenal will cope with them. Everyone said that it will be difficult for Arsenal to hold onto that fourth Champions League spot, but here are we fighting for the Title right there with Chelski and ManUSA and every pundit eating there word when they said Arsenal is the team going out of the traditional Top four.

Arsene Wenger has proved to all that he really knows.

Alright I am getting too sentimental now,

Now for todays match. its funny till yesterday it looked like we have all kind of injuries and today it seems almost all are back( except RVP, Djourou and Gibbs Offcourse) Nasri, Ramsey and Nikki B.

Of these three I really want to see Nikki B hit the ground quickly, if we are to win the league then this boy has to come good and stay fit for the rest of the season. Arsene really have lot of faith in his abilities and he is the reason he did not sign a striker, now I heard people saying what has he done only scored 2 goals so far, I say he scored 2 goals playing in the wings, he was not used as the CF, if he was being used as a CF and then has he scored only 2 goals then it would have been a fair criticism.

People forget that he is the same player who scored 15 goals last season, and he was the 3rd choice striker. So give him some time.

Lets hope we win tonight.

Stop Worrying About Dogba......

Hello Gooners,
Sorry for the long absence,

Song and Eboue both are back, yes, its a good news. So be happy about it considering how Colin Lewin patients are increasing at a rate of one midfielder per game. I feel Denilson has not completed recovered from his injury. Don't be surprised if Eboue start against Villa considering he hasn't played for his Country after getting himself red carded.

And yes I was talking about Drogba. Almost every Arsenal blog is highlighting the return of Dogba before Arsenal match. Yes I know, that cheating A**hole has been troubling Arsenal for past couple of years and it seems that everytime he plays we tend to end up on the loosing side. But that stats should not let us intimidate us.

I genuinely feel that we are winning the league this season and even if we lose against Chelsea we will still go on to win the League this season. So people stop worrying about that animal and get behind the team.

And yes please don't mention about the FA cup defeat. Arsene is not to be blamed considering the number of injuries we have at the moment. So please stop moaning.

Arsenal 3 Hull City 0 - MOTD Highlights

Here is the Full match Highlights Arsenal v Hull City

Arsenal v Hull City
Uploaded by holdincellz110. - More professional, college and classic sports videos.

Diaby ! Can you do it consistently?

Last night game was the best game for one player and he changed the way I use to think about him, yes you guessed it right, I am talking about Abou Diaby, he was the stand out performer for me, Apart from the Defence, If he can play like this week in week out, he can be a menace for teams playing against Arsenal, First 30 minutes were poor, then Arsenal really started to play in the second half, After Denilson with a magnificient Free kick put Arsenal Ahead by 1-0.

Diaby was the one who won that free kick, he also put the cross for Eduardo to score t e second and in the end he scored the third to put us 3-0 up. Common Diaby if you can play like this, where were you all this years? and please do not dis appear after last night brilliant performance. Same showing against Aston Villa please.

Now nuff of Diaby praise, We all got what we wanted so badly after watching Manure losing at the Craven Cottage defeat by 3-0, yes you heard it right 3-0, I was watching that match because I felt that Fulham wil beat ManU.

Last Night Preview.

GoalKeeper

Saved the Penalty but that does not change my stand toward him, he needs to be replaced, otherwise Hull did not test him.

Defence

Two CB were brillinat as usual, Eboue was good going Forward, special mention to Silvestre because Hull player were targeting that that left wing as our week side but he defended well and helped in attack as well.

Midfield.

It was more of a hard working Midfield rather than the usual Arsenal Beautiful passing one, but none the less they did the job well. Denilson and Diaby were involved heavily in the Attacking third, Denilson in the first 30 min was a bit shaky but may be beacause of his injury but got involved as the game played on, Song was excellent as we have come to expect of him.

Forward.

Arshavin did what he does best, always try to do something which help in attack and he was closed down quickly.

Eduardo, well he still dont look sharp. but on few occasion he was brilliant one when he turned and was through on goal in a flash I was like how the F**k he do that, but lacked composure to put in on goal, but eventually he scored one later on in the game. from a beautiful one passing.

Nasri was good if not brilliant, I thought Nicky Bramby should have been Red Carded for Raising his hand on Nasri. I thought even Garcia deserved a card for his melodrama, Nasri just stepped on him he acted as if someone kicked him between his legs and fell to ground.

All in all a good result considering ManU lost. 3 more points against Villa please.

Arsenal Draw Against FC Porto.

Arsenal Draw against portugese Champions Porto. Difficult I must say

here are the list of complete fixtures


Stuttgart v Barcelona
Olympiacos v Bordeaux
Inter Milan v Chelsea
Bayern Munich v Fiorentina
CSKA Moscow v Sevilla
Lyon v Real Madrid
Porto v Arsenal
AC Milan v Manchester United

The first legs will take place on February 16, 17, 23 & 24, with the second legs on March 9, 10, 16 & 17.

Thank God Fabregas Got Injured

No I am serious, sometime you feel injury is bad, yes it is bad but looking at the time of injury, it does not annoy me, because I am sure we will win against Hull tomorrow, But the thing is if you can remember Johan Cyrff Calatan match against Argentina, which Wenger refused to let him go and Cesc Wanted to play in, now there is no possibility that Cesc can play in that match and there is no possibility of a dispute between Arsene and Cesc over this stupid so called charity match. So I would say its good Cesc got injured. I know he is a player who make us Arsenal tick, but if we cannot beat Hull without Cesc we dont deserve to win anything then.

Now it is believed that Owen Coyle wants to take Jack on loan on January, If I was Wenger I would say yes, because if he can give Jack some playing time and that too in the premier league that will be great. I like Owen Coyle as a manager, he has done a fantastic job to get Burnley promoted and the way they play at home is great. So a Loan move for the best talent in English Football would be great.

Now for tomorrow Match, As usual we have a long list of Injuries, Cesc is out, but Denilson is back. RVP, Gibbs their rehabilitation continues. while Nikki B, Clichy Rosicky and not Far Away.

Here's hoping for a good match. and an Easy win.

And anxioulsy waiting for tonight draw for the Last 16 of the champions League and here are the teams we can draw against.

VFB Stuttgart
Inter Milan
FC Porto
CSKA Moscow
AC Milan
Bayern Munchen
Lyon


These are the seven team waiting to be drawn against Arsenal, If I would want anything from Santa this Christmas it would be an Injury free season from now on and VFB Stuttgart in the Last 16.

Let me know who do u think we will draw against tonight.

Here is a small video of our little Maestro Season so far.

Almunia And Barca Both Need a Slap.

Sorry for the Long Absence from the blog, Exams guys was busy writing them.

Anyways back to my favourite topic Arsenal FC. Now About last night game. Yes we were not playing good after Cesc got injured, (WOW this guy really does mean a lot to Arsenal). Anyways to many negatives from this game which I really thought we will win. But take nothing away from Burnley they were well organised and did not let us score.

Keeper.

How bad was Almunia? Almost cost us the match, if it would had been for the offside flag, we would have lost the match. That was a cross even my teams GK would have held on to. Common Arsene replace him.
Defenders were hesitating to give him back pass they had no confidence in him.

I dont want to talk much about the game anymore, we built a good momentum with a win against the KOP's but failed to continue with it. Next up is Hull at home I am expecting for an easy win without Cesc in the team. No more hiccups please.

Barca need a slap on their face, I really think it time now that Arsenal complain about their public pursuit of Fabregas, trying to unsettle him. Joan Laporta is desperate to hold onto the president seat at Barca.

Have Something To Say, Express It

First things first, sorry to all my readers for no post for few days, I was busy with my Best friends Wedding, Indian weddings are grand, So had lot of work to do for his marriage,

Alright lets not go there, 3 matches 3 loss, ok its bad I know But i will not consider Carling Cup result as we all know how much importance Arsene gives to Carling Cup. So I will not waste time talking about the loss and how Mark Hughes is a prick.

Stoke Game I think we will win it. No matter how much physical they get, we will beat them. So I will not waste time in talking tactics and Stuff.

I have been receiving lots of E-mail from my friends and my readers, they want to express their thoughts and feeling, After discussing with my fellow gooners, I have decided to publish your your thoughts on my blog if they are good.

So If you guys have something in your head just mail it to me, if its good enough I will publish it for you guys.

Do not forget to mention your

5 Way To Beat Chelsea.

Well seriously I am tired of reading all the match preview and how we have a weaker if not better Squad than Chelski,

But trust me there are 5 way through which we can beat chelski.

1 Play Denilson and Song in the Middle along with Cesc Fabregas, I know many people have lot to say about Denilson but trust me, in this new 4-3-3 formation he plays just ahead of Song and Behing Fabregas thus helping in attack as well and in defending and he has developed himself physically If you have doubt remember Man shitty game, we conceeded as soon as Denilson was taken off. And besides he plays well in supporting role to Cesc Fabregas.

2 Vermaelen should Kick Drogba at every possiblity becuase no matter what? he is going to stay on the groud even if not kicked by anyone and avoid letting him get behind defence for those long ball which is sure to come because our midfiled is going to outplay Chelski Midfiled.

3 Play Sagna and Eboue as Fullback, these two has played at the left back position before but I expect Traore to play, he is good in attack but not so good Defensively.

4 Play Eduardo as CF because I cannot see a better game for him then Chelski get his goal scoring touch back, players like Eduardo raise their game against big team when given the chance.

5 Arshavin and Nasri as wing forward, Arshavin is the key here because they have a make shift right back in Ivanovic and we know what Arshavin can do, people have criticised Arshavin this season but remember he is a big match player and can hurt any team at any point, he did that against Manure but unfortunately got injured, and this is his first chance to show his class against Chelski. I expect him to score this Sunday.

6 Sorry I am adding an extra point here, Contain Anelka he is more Dangerous than Dogba, he attacks koin in midfield he drags his marker with him and his movement is diffcult to judge, our fullback should be on their toes to track Anelka becuase he attacks from anywhere on the field.


3 points is what we expect and 3 point I hope we get, and 3 point is all we are asking for,
All the preview review does not matter this Sunday, May the best team ( Arsenal) win.

If you want to be petty in life you look at what others do. If you want to be big in life you look at your own performance - Wenger

if you want to be petty in life you look at what others do. If you want to be big in life you look at your own performance.- Arsene Wenger.

Great quote isn't it, Well Wenger don't care how much Scums score. WHY? Well he knows they are always going to finish below Arsenal no matter how many they score.

About tonight match against Liege, remember them alomost defeated us on match day one, when they scored 2 goals inside five min, what a match that was?

Well they are here again. But seriously I cannot see them scoring 2 goals tonight, I want Arsenal to score 10 tonight I know every Arsenal would want our team to score 10 today, But anyways that a different case.

What I am looking forward for tonight is who will start and who will be on the bench?

Three players I personally want to see on the starting line up are Denilson, Arshavin/Rosicky and Eduardo. Denilson because I feel he is good if not spectacular in the three men midfield, because he is more defensive minded and that helps Song in holding role and Cesc in attacking upfront with the front three in 4-3-3 formation. Eduardo, because as I explained in my previous post he will need couple of games to adjust to central striker role, trust me if he given more games he will score more goals than Van Persie( I know many fans won't agree with me on this) but he will. Arshavin may start ahead of Rosicky or Nasri.

So my starting line up will be somewhat like this.

Almunia

Eboue Gallas Vermaelen Gibbs

Song

Cesc Denilson

Rosicky Eduardo Arshavin

and my prediction is 4-1 may be. LET ME KNOW UR LINE UP AND PREDICTION

Get Off Eduardo's back. Arsenal will beat Chealsea

An away trip to sunderland after an international break was never an easy way to start the premier league, Arsenal started well and probably played well throughout the 90 min but just could not penetrate the resolute Sunderland defence. To be true this was the result I feared against Sunderland because they have really improved under steve bruce, coming away with a point from Old trafford is not an easy thing to do. I would have been happy with a point. but anyways we lost.

Now about the match let me start of with defence.

Vermaelen and Gallas were solid as usual apart from that one setpiece, nothing they did wrong all day.
Sagna as usual solid at the back and also while attacking but his crosses were as usual not good.
Traore was lively throughout the match but was sometime out of position. he really need to work on defending more.

Now comes Midfiled.

Song was probably the best player but still he did not had the best game of this season.
Cesc was finding it hard to get thing ticking as he was playing deep and Cana was stuck on his ass like a bee to a honey. but still he did well.
Ramsey was tad disappointing, I expected him to do well after a week off and after such a brilliant performance from him against Scotland, was easily outmuscled at times.

Now, finally the attackers.

Rosicky was lively when match started but faded away, well could be because of lack of match fitness, he should have scored in the opening five minute of the game.
Nasri was finding it difficult to get in the game was lacking match sharpness after a long lay off, he was desperately trying to drive in the middle to create something but failed to do anything.

Finally about Eduardo, OK not his best game but got to give the guy a break and give him couple of games to adjust, because I see all the bloggers writing him off that he cannot play in that role. what I feel is crap? He will come good trust me. Even Van Persie took seven eight game to get on in that position. Trust me Eduardo will not take seven games to adjust, give him a couple of games and he will come good. Don't judge him by just one game, he will come good.

Overall we were the better team but failed to take any chances though they were few. Next up Chelsea, I have got a very good feeling about this game.

Have faith Gooners.

Placenta for Myles - What if it was some other country instead and not Ireland?

It felt like ages since our players last left for international matches, and yes got injured as well, two of important players in Van Persie and Gibbs, yes we have cover for both but both of them were in good form and really looking at the fixture, surely it has come at the wrong time. I will not go into Van Persie treatment topic, I don't care how controversial that placenta lady is, if she can cure RVP in less time, well I will only be happy for us and RVP.

Anyway's about Henry and the amount of criticism he has received for his hand ball against Ireland, and the British media is up for it again, like with Eduardo, I ask one thing to this British Media, have they watched Slovenia v Russia and how Russia was kicked out of the world cup, and what if instead of Ireland it would have been a small European country like Andorra or Croatia maybe, would the British media reacted the same way. Yes it was a handball and Henry is absolutely correct, referee did not see it, how many players have stopped the play when they handled the ball, I cannot recall one. So for this I would suggest that Fifa should give fourth official video help, every modern day sports use technology to avoid such incidents,

For me Henry did not cheated, the ball hit his hand and second time he could have removed his hand but he did not. And why should he if the referee did not see it. For me if technology is not used in football then the goal created by Henry is fare. Though I still believe over the two leg Ireland deserved to qualify.

And one thing Myles Parmer You are Crap. He need to get Placenta rubbed on his brains.

Well It can't get any better than this.

It cannot really get any better for for our opposition listening to the number of injury that is mounting they will be happy to know another first team player got injured, november curse strikes again. this time its Gibbs. It is believed to be a broken something. Something similar to Nasri's injury so we all know how long to wait for him to get fit.

Ok we have Traore to fill the gap or even huge experience of Silvestre to fill in, but the man who I think will replace gibbs is Eboue. Finally I think Arsenal fan will come to know the importance of player like Eboue.

Well Tonight one more intenational, so by tomorrow we will come to know how many players we have lost due to injury, I wish it do not extend but internationals always springs a surprise.

Well I don't know what to say apart from rumours mills and injury news I do not have any thing to give to you all.

We knew it already Arsene !

Breaking news, Arsene revealed today that he will be playing his young guns in the quater finals of the Carling cup, no matter who the team is playing against. He says he will put on the team who will win, well that nice.

I will to true here, if Arsene is saying the truth then the possibility of Arsenal beating Citeh is quite less, but as we all know this kids are more than capable of causing an upset and we all know that Hughes will be playing his strongest possible team.

If our young guns beat Citeh I will be getting a treat in a 5-star hotel, why? Coz one of my stupid Manure friend think Citeh will thrash our kids, and as usual we decided to bet against it. So if Arsenal win then I win a dinner in a nice 5-star hotel. So go you young gunners.

Well lets just move on, Now the news is Arsene is trying to attract an Israeli youth from Barca, Finally some news about a player transfer from Barca to Arsenal, I was actually kinda bored by Cesc to Barca stories, so this new rumour is nice for a change.

NINE MORE DAYS TO GO FOR THE INTERNATIONALS.

Boring International ! Barca are back with Cesc DNA.

Two week of boredom awaits for all gooners, after every international all the football fans jump on the internet to check if one of their star performer are ok or not, how long have they played? Are they carrying any knock? and the questions go on and on and on. well that is all we have got to do when this meaningless intenational friendlies are played. But for few players this week is the decider as to will they go to South Africa and to be true I would want all the Arsenal players to play in south Africa, which is I know is not possible. But I really hope russia and France qualify for the world cup because I want to see Arshavin and other of our french players this summer at the world cup, they are the reason why I even bother watching internationals. So if Arsenal players are not playing I don't feel lke watching international matches.

Well, we leave it there, as we all know its international week, rumours of our player leaving and stupid Cesc to Barca comments, this time it is Xavi with the same old DNA comment. I feel that they have been taught by the Barca precident about this DNA comment. I cannot really understand how far they will go to unsettle Cesc.

In other news, Bendtner has gone under the knife for his groin injury, thank god we have Theo back and offcourse Nasri and Tomas, but the problem with Bendtner injury is that we have lost the much needed height for defending set pieces, and to be true I was loving the way bendtner was playing so far this season, so this long lay off is bad for his good form. And what else? yes

Fletcher? who remember that dirty player from manure, he is blaming Arsene comments for influencing refree, which is crap as we all know but what else can you except from a person who himself is a crap.
To be true I cannot really figure out what to write today.
May be tomorrow I can come up with something better, so people wait till tomorrow.

Time to get the away form sorted out.

Hello Gooners,

52 goals in 18 matches, that is a kind of stat that last year all conquering Barcelona couldn't manage, this really make me feel proud to be a gooner, but Arsenal's away form has not been what we expected it to be after 6-1 drubbing of Everton, Arsenal have not been comfortable while on road. We lost to Citeh and Manure, drawn with West ham after leading by 2 goals and had to fought very hard to win 1-0 against Fulham, almost lost to Liege in the champions league.

I am not being negative here but our away form has been so so. I see this game against Wolves as the confidence builder for the team to get their away form correct because Wolves has not played well and if things continue the way it is they are set to be relegated.
I know we will win against Wolves but how comfortable will the victory be, will Wolves give good account of themselves I don't think so. So message for today go their make it a comfortable win without making a mess of it.

And other reason this 3 point is important is because Chelski and Manure are playing this Sunday and its a very good opportunity to close the gap on top of the table, a draw at brigde will be a great result for Arsenal because if we win tonights game and the game in hand than we can go on top of the premier league table, If we can manage a better goal difference than Chelski.

So Tonight should be a comfortable win 3-0 to the gunners
Gunner4life

Top Four! Are You Serious ?

Same Old Spuds always crying. Top four? Harry you are no Arsene Wenger.

What a magnificient game , in my last post I mentioned about how inportant game it is for Arsenal to get that horrible memory of last season 4-4 draw, especially for couple of players.
Arsenal responded and boy how they responded well.
First goal from RVP just show how well he has adapted to that CF role, it was a typical CF goal from him, I was celebrating jumping in with my fellow gooners after the first goal and when I saw RVP Fab Celebrating I thought that ESPN is showing the replay of the celebration of the first goal but suddenly I realised that we scored second when Andy gray said so. I just did not see the goal happened, 11 seconds is the gap between 2 goals we scored, I will not be surprised if it is the fastest second goal scored ever and then the third goal from RVP killed the game off. Nice work from Sagna again after ref played on, All in all a great performance from everyone. Uhhhhuhh well not exactly everyone.

But all in all a great confidence booster for Arsenal, though I was sad not to see Nasri make his league debut this season, but I have got a feeling that he will start in the midweek CL game against Alkmaar.
Now about the Carling cup draw, Citeh away is the draw, as soon as I read about our next Carling Cup draw I knew it was made by God himself, We would not have to wait till next April to beat them and let them know that their win against the gunner was nothing but fortunate.

And yes I almost forgot, special mention to Song for the wonderful tackle on Keane when he was clear on goal, this is the kind of determination we want from our player's week in week out if we are to win a premier league title.

Next up CL. Enjoy the Highlights.
