Crybaby Scolari cries foul

After Arsenal came back from a goal down to defeat Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, Scolari found a reason to cry out- an offside equaliser by Persie which lost them the game.

After Djourou scored an own goal, Van Persie received a pass from an offside position and turned around to beat Cech to equalise.

This then resulted in a complete turnaround and Persie scored again to allow Arsenal to beat their London rivals 2-1. 

But Scolari wants the referees to apologise to him after a referee error allowed Arsenal to win. He wants the FA to look into the matter and apologise to him and Chelsea. After winning only 2 of their last 7 matches, he is under fire, and has found a scapegoat- the referee. 

But Luis, have you done your homework? Last season at Stamford, after Sagna had put Arsenal in front, Drogba scored twice to win the match for Chelsea. But both his goals were offside. That time Wenger did not cry like a baby. So Felipe Scolari, please make plans for your next match instead of crying about the past!!!!     

Wengerless

If Arsene Wenger has any modicum of honour left in him, he should just simply throw in the towel as he obviously is bereft of any idea to arrest the further slide of his side into oblivion and save the teeming fans of the club weekly emotional and psychological torture. All these have happened as a result of this man's arrogance and know it all attitude. By the time he is through with the club, I hope they would find a buyer for it. The big question is how would someone destroy what he laboured to build as if there is a reward awaiting him for doing that? In my opinion, the man is suffering from 'grandiose delusion' and 'megalomania' which give him the erroneous impression of been bigger than he actually is. Gallas is not the problem, the problem is Wenger and the earlier he is given the boot the better for the club.

CAPTAINSHIP!

To everyone who think Fabregas is too young to be the captain, note this: Tony Adams was selected to be Arsenal's captain at the age of 21, and remained for 14 years. Arguably the best captain Arsenal has ever had. What's wrong being too young? You want some experience? He has made over 140 appearance for Arsenal. You want some leader's quality? I believe Fabregas is exceptionally great to hold the team together. Furthermore, if Fabregas were to be granted the armband, maybe he would perform much better under the circumstances. Giving him the armband is also the best way to hold him at Arsenal for much longer. If you notice, Wenger gave the captaincy to Henry to make him stay longer. Also for Gallas' case, Wenger gave him the armband even though Gallas previously has been critical to Wenger about his policy,'cause he needed to stick with Gallas as Arsenal lack depth in defenders. I say... FABREGAS FOR THE CAPTAIN

Arsenal Suffer huge shock

This week has been one of huge disappointments. First the same team that won versus MAnUtd lost to a determined Villa. And now this.

Arsenal captain William Gallas launched a scathing attack on his team mates in mid week, saying that the players lacked maturity, experience, and even related a few dressing room events to emphasise his point. He said that during matches they were trailing, his players would squabble like cats during half time. They would act like kids, proportionating the blame on each other rather than take the blame as a team.

This attack shocked the footballing world, and even those at Arsenal. Wenger too was shocked and could not reply. The players too were dumbfounded and they could not say anything in their defence.

Today, of all days, the board decided to react by announcing that Gallas had broken the code of conduct and sacked him as the captain. Now he no longer may have a position in the team. Arsene Wenger may be too counting his days to a sacking as Arsenal's present form is dismal.

So Arsenal are now without a captain, without experienced players and soon will be without a manager.

Arsene Wenger is the first problem of Arsenal because he first thinks of making profits than trophies or else how could one explain that a coach can last 4 seasons without a trophy and still be on their payroll.It has been better said that it will favour Arsenal to be owned by an individual so that Mr Wenger can sit up to his Job.There are lots of mediocres in the Arsenal first team,players would never make it to the starting eleven of our rivals.The problem with Wenger is that he refuses to understand that football has changed.Lets look at Ferguson,during the early 90's saw the arrival of great local lads like Beckham from the youth academy and today ManU has relied on buying experienced players than on youth because so much money has entered the business and you need to spend to win that is why players like Tevez,Berbatov and co are bought.Which of the rival teams in the premiership will players like Denillson,Bendtner,Van persie,Adebayor,Diaby,Walcott make their starting eleven?Arsenalk clearly does not have bench.Fabregas is a slow midfielder,turns with the ball all the time,lacks dribbling skill,lacks pace and stamina,hardly plays shots,lacks deadball skill and yet Mr Wenger deems him one of the best in the world.Why could he not displace Xavi from the spanish midfiled?Why does Spain play him behind a striker?Wenger fails to reason.Playing Fab in that roaming midfield role would require that you have a very good DM that has pace and precise vision for passing.You also need a good dribbler that in the flanks that would make up for his lack of space so that he could catch up on time if the dribble is successful.There is no way Walcott and Fabregas can fit in because Fab cant run along Walcott because he lacks pace,Also the left flank is almost dead,why cant Wenger go for a good left winger?The habit of always trying to convert players from their normal role to something different can as well be part of our problems.Lets get a good DM like Diara of Real or Toure of Barca,De Rossi,Aquilani .Then we can get the services of Werder's Diego with Ramsey in line to follow up as substitute whenever we are leading comfortably to keep learning the ropes.Fabregas should be allowed to go back to Spain.Let Adebayor as well be taught to be always in the box and stop drifting off the box,let our strikers always go for shots outside the box and also charge for rebounds.We need a good striker,Eto,Villa, can as well be bought.Van persie could be left as a sub striker.Bendtner,Diaby, should be sold.Denillson should be sent on loan.Djourou should be given more time and chance to play.Sagna should buckle up or let Eboue go back to his normal position.The lack of clear competition for place in this present day Arsenal may as well be the greatest problem for a bunch of talented but yet toothless gunners.The way forward is make Wenger Sporting director whil Martin O Neil takes over.

Prediction

Recent history points to United maintaining their hex on Liverpool, but then neither side have found anything like approaching top gear so far this season. This is the just the type of game to sort the men from the boys, the serious contenders from the mere hopefuls, though at this stage of the campaign no outcome will be decisive - and you’d still expect both sides to be in contention next April when the season moves towards its climax.

Their recent dominance over Liverpool means United may turn up at Anfield expecting to win, which could suit Liverpool. If United do win, they will have to halt a run: Liverpool have won their last nine home league games and are unbeaten at Anfield in the league this calendar year. Perhaps surprisingly, too, since February the Reds have been the best team in the Premier League with 13 wins, four draws and one defeat from 18 games. Meanwhile United have won only one of their four games so far this season during the regulation 90 minutes. And the last time Liverpool endured an eight-match winless streak against United in the league (1996-2000), they endede the sequence in the ninth meeting by winning 1-0 (and going on to do the double over United that season).

It’s also true that in none of the last eight clashes between these two sides have both teams got on the score-sheet - but that could change tomorrow with a scoring draw.

No nouveau, Deja Vu ?

With the transfer window shut, it is now perspicacious that a new face in red and white will not be conceived for another 5 months. The title poses the question of the century. Can this once again entice to a massive disintegration in relative semblance to last season? Or can Mr"professor" show us if there really has been change. Worrying as it may seem, the veracity of this situation places us in a similar position. The tangibility, obvious to us all, is the fact that a noxious event on one of our midfield soldiers, could indeed hand us quell in literally all areas affecting us the most.

In the end, it could verily and quite haply come down to that ONE signing we preluded, that ONE extra pair of legs we hindered and that ONE pair of eyes we didn't look into, which can incredulously terminate our primary and principle mission.

(be aware that the title is in response to last season's failure to sign a "trophy")

Discrepancies with signings.

15 hours before the deadline, we all still wonder who the "addition" to the squad is. IS there an addition? Wenger's "Certainly" did sound convincing and taking into consideration we still have 30 million to spend, i see no reason for us to end on a silent note. The comedy of this occurrence is the fact that Wenger's high profile does not leave us questioning his signing. It leaves us questioning whether he will, without venture, fall into Arsenals rythm and pace. Ofcourse the man has made his mistakes, signing Eboue and Senderos but he has also theatricalized his authority in the football world which has clearly been revealed by Arsenal's domination in the past few games. (Ignoring the Fulham derby).

I personally believe Wenger is rather daunted by the factualness that his side could, in truth, fall apart with an erratum signing and come to think of it-who can blame him for that?

Arsenal vs Fulham

NO, no good, very bad, lost 0-1 to a relegation candidate. Let us shoot the players as they deserve the shot to gun them down like they were gunned down against Fulham. Very angry I am. They should die, like they say DIE ***** DIE.

Very Angryness rushing through the vein.
No.
No good.

Big Four Fail to dominate

The heroes of last season have yet to emerge. Ronaldo, Adebayor, Drogba and Torres were the best of last season for the big four and after their prices skyrocketed during the pre-season negots, everyone expected the titans to prove their worth this season, especially Fergie's Man United.

Sir Alex Ferguson had criticised United's biggest challengers Chelsea, calling them old and useless. He said that youngsters were required by a team and his team had it all. But it seems that he was mistaken, again for except Chelsea, none of the EPL giants were on the front foot at the start of the season.

Manchester United got off to a bad start after they struggled againsta team they had beaten 11-3 over two legs last season. They were unconvincing and could not get any chances, and were far from their best. Martins scored easily in the 22nd minute and then United could not come on front until a Fletcher header saved United to draw 1-1.

Meanwhile Arsenal took control through Nasri and then made chances but could not extend their lead.

Liverpool did not play convincingly and were outplayed completely by Sunderland. But Spanish Torres saved them again to win 1-0.

Chelsea made a debut under Big Phil Scolari and thrashed Pompey 4-0. Joe Cole gave the lead and which was followed by Anelka's goal in the 29' , Lampard's goal through a penalty in the 55', and Deco finally scored in stoppage time. The five man midfield ran forward to support Anelka and played brilliantly.

Seems Chelsea has the upper hand for now.

Arsenal's new talent

Maybe Arsenal have not added prolific and high fly names to their club during the pre season transfers, but they have brought in skilled youngsters from the reserve team and brought back skilled loaned players. Here are some names that will be common next season:

JACK WILSHERE

Wilshere has been one of Wenger's genius finds. This 16 year old youngster has quickly taken his way into the Arsenal main squad, impressing everyone along the way. The English teenage prodigy was first taken to help the team into the infamous 6-5 rule, but Jack moulded into an amazing player, scoring in nearly every match Arsenal has played during the summer break.

Wenger has often counted upon him to take Arsenal out of trouble, and the midfielder has proven his point, that he is here to stay.


CARLOS VELA

Vela is talented Mexican who comes from a family of footballers. This 19 yr old striker was first spotted as an upcoming talent during the Under 17 World Cup, where he won the Golden Boot and led Mexico to a cup Victory. Many European Clubs vied for him, with Arsenal coming on top. He was then denied a work permit in England, so he was loaned out to Celta De Vigo, then Salamanca and lastly Osasuna before returning to Arsenal this year.

He too has been a vital player in the Gunners pre season friendlies and is in the Eduardo mould. Watch out for him as he has a killer instinct for goals.


MARK RANDALL

Randall is also another English footballer who has already played a few matches for Arsenal, yet has had his goals disallowed by the referee. This 18 yr old central midfielder might take the position of Mathieu Flamini, who has shifted to AC Milan this summer.


Randall was loaned to various clubs and then his talent surfaced, after which Arsenal trained him and thus has resulted in a skillful and intriguing player who can surprise the opposition whenever necessary.

The others include promising Aaron Ramsey and Samir Nasri.

Arsenal thus have talent, but can they make the cup theirs this time???

The nerve of the Togo striker!

The word that describes Adebayor is "moron". Who we thought was a classy striker is turning out to be a good for nothing useless scumbag. Two seasons ago, this man was absolutely zilch. One season ago, this man was a recognized substitute for Arsenal behind the likes of Thierry Henry and Van Persie.

This season turned out to be an aqua fantasia for the man. With 30+ goals , he is a strong contender for player of the season. But every positive scenario has a negative. The striker has used the "flatics" to attain an extra 45000 pounds which would make him one of the highest paid players in the premier league.
IS this going to happen? I think not. ONE great season at Arsenal gives him no right at all to request such a large income. Technically , he's been gifted goals with the talent of Fabregas , Hleb and Walcott combining together. He is nowhere near the worth of Thierry Henry and in my view, never will be.
My opinion would clearly state the departure of this menace, as he is not fit for the Gunner jersey anymore. Axing him would result in complete peace and harmony in the Arsenal camp, with the inclusion of another classy striker. We are yet to see who.

Manchester United Vs Chelsea a decisive clash in the EPL

This EPL race has been a roller coaster race. With Arsenal on top in February, the EPL title race has been turned on its heels as a Man Utd. Vs Chelsea clash is inevitable. This match may just bring Chelsea on top.

This decisive blow was struck this Saturday with vital games for the top four. Arsenal entertained Reading and got better easily as they ousted the Reading team in the 30th minute as Adebayor scored his 27th goal of the season with a clever move, circumventing the defence to coolly put it past Hannhemann and then Gilberto scored through a deflection from a defender as Arsenal won easily 2-0 even though Van Persie nearly scored and Walcott missed an easy goal. This loss may just put Reading into relegation zone if Birmingham win on Sunday.

Liverpool travelled to Craven Cottage with a less strong team, leaving out Torres and Gerrard and Fulham needing a win to move out of relegation. But a Lucas pass saw Pennant smash the ball into the netting, followed by a Crouch kick which saw him score his 4th EPL goal. Fulham was criticised for showing absolutely no interest in trying to stop themselves from losing.

Fulham now face a blow as relegation zoners Bolton Wanderers bested Middlesbrough in a very tight match as they won 1-0. Now the stragglers at the bottom half of the table have to look out and win more games!

But the title race was made more competitive in the match between Manchester United and Blackburn. Blackburn had new English star David Bentley and United had, as you all know, their most ruthless goal scoring team out.

The champions took it easy until they were rudely awakened as Roque Santa Cruz took advantage of slack defending as his kick saw the back of the net. Then United awoke and started playing their free football, but to no avail, United trailing in the half time break.

Fergie kept his team in for a long time, and when the United players came out, we could see the fear in Blackburn’s faces. Still, they defended very well, frustrating the Manchester fans eagerly waiting for a Manchester victory.

United kept on putting pressure in the right places, but it seemed that their only barrier was Friedel, the goalkeeper. US second choice stopped chances on chances as he seemed to fly to stop Rooney, Tevez, Nani and Ronaldo form scoring. He kept out umpteen chances on goal. I can still remember the O’Shea chance stop as he moved his hands in the way at the correct time, or the Tevez stop as he stopped the ball merely a centimetre away from the line!!

But United were not to be denied, as a Scholes header saw Tevez score, thus leading to a draw. But Fergie was worried when English talent Rooney limped off the pitch. United fans should hope their hero is fit for a clash versus Barcelona for the UEFA league! This shows that even the big temas need to toil to win or draw. No tema can be taken for granted. Individuals may be good on their own,but if they do not form a team, they WILL lose. At the same time it shows us why MANU are the champs! Now, the clash between Chelsea and the champs will decide who wins, or loses, with Chelsea on 78 and Manchester on 81!

GO ARSENAL!!!!!!!!

The end approaches.

I'm a bit late, but who can blame me? Not many words can express the injustice done to the Gunners, which has once again resulted in them leaving the season empty handed. A Liverpool trilogy saw the Gunners own in all 3 occasions, but of course, the referees had to ruin the party and dust the smoke. In summary, a clear penalty not given, a penalty which was clearly not was given against them. A clear red card was unbelievably just a yellow for the Liverpool side and to top of the nonsense, Bendtner with his heroics stopped a Fabregas goal with his own legs. To all gunner fans, I would not get my hopes up for this Sunday. A 3-0 loss would be a blessing for the gunners, as Flamini has taken a knock already and as Cristiano Ronaldo is waiting to grasp the chance of overtaking the record for most goals in a season. The only good news to portray is the fact that Arsene Wenger has announced that he will sign ONE experienced player which is bound to increase the sides belief and morale. I believe he is once again wrong there, as an experienced player in each department would have a greater impact on the side's class and the ability to tear a side apart. I daresay if Eduardo, Rosicky and Van Persie had not taken such large knocks, we would still be title contenders. And by that, yes I'm completely ruling out any possibility of us winning the title. I'm afraid its too late to make a comeback. Whats done is done. Next season Wenger should capitalize on his mistakes, bring in experience, remove Lehmann, Eboue and of course Gilberto. If this takes place, I guarantee silverware.
The trip to "The Theatre Of Dreams" shall seal Arsenal's season once and for all. The match takes place on Sunday and there will indeed be a billion people watching the match .
The odds are stacked firmly against us but thats how we like it. This will test our skill in all departments and Arsene Wenger should field Walcott if he stands any chance of succeeding.
To all Arsenal fans watching the match on Sunday, Good luck .

Resiliance & belief go hand in hand.

It looked like the season was a complete flop, with Arsenal drawing 4 consecutive premier league games and then losing to a spirited chelsea side. But renewed hope has come arsenal's way, as bolton fans watch their side lose a 2-0 lead and then lose all 3 points.
Conditions wet, pitch wet and the season in jeopardy of falling apart-arsenal were looking for a clear victory . The game, of course, did not start this way. A good start from arsenal was overshadowed by a beautiful cross in-headerfrom taylor which found the back of the net . Dejavu? Think again. This time the opposing team managed to get a deflected shot in the back of the net, to give the home side a convincing 2-0 lead! To top that, Abou Diaby was sent off for a reckless tackle. In my books, it was a yellow.The funny thing is the "injured player" hopped straight on the pitch and took his place. No damage to bolton of course, only a player down for arsenal. The bolton fans were playing slack once again, holding the ball for eternity everytime it went out. Clearly arsenal had steeped to new lows. Arsene Wenger, though, would not have it. A substitution from the professor saw arsenal grab two goals in the span of 7 minutes which left bolton tattered in pieces. A comeback with 10 men was never though of, but with a side as resiliant as the gunners, anything can happen. 89th minute of the game sealed the deal for the gunners, an own goal saw them grab all 3 points which might just cause a bit of shiver in the anfield side travelling to the emirates in a few days. What we must take account of is that Arsenal have severe defensive problems, starting with handling the break and the overhead crosses. As soon as we have rosicky back we can work a bit more on our midfield. The striking problems were clearly invisible as good defence denied Bentdner his share.
After this performance, questions arising will include whether this is a recovery of the season. I would like not to emphasize on that as we've just faced a bolton side prone to relegation. What we should look forward to is welcoming liverpool to the emirates stadium, a welcome that might just cancel the need of a second leg.
The champions league fixture will be played of course at 7-45 London time with a capacity of 60,120 expected. Until then, its goodbye
Thank you
Gunner!

Title race over?

Hello again and let me start by saying that "Super Sunday" did live up to its expectations, even though the results did not go our way. Pain and devastation for arsenal once again as after 4 draws comes no victory, but a loss. Some admirable football from Didier Drogba has literally ended arsenal's chance of winning this years Barclays premier league. Will this have a long-term effect on the gunners? I think not. What they need to keep in mind is that they played fantastic football and had a number of decisions against them. Drogba's goal was clearly offside, and the injury to the defence was the turning part of the game. The midfield of arsenal held strong and moved forward quite well, the defence was rather slack with long balls killing the game off. Van persie had a far better game then Adebayor, who does not like scoring any more. If not premier league, maybe champions league. Thats what they should keep their minds on right now. They should grab the horns of their season and direct it to champions leaague glory, as their title hopes faint away. This might be the perfect chance to make something out of literally nothing. In an exclusive interview with goal.com Dider drogba states that Gallas should be given more respect. The day before that he stated that Gallas should be booed. Now we all know that Drogba is either massively thick in the head or dangerously ill. We shall pray for him, but moreover pray for a trophy entering Arsenal's cabinet, which has remained empty for a really long time.
Next week the gunners are off to the Reebok stadium, where i daresay they will find themselves challenged once again. The previous meeting saw the home side grab a 2-0 victory---this time i dont think any result is confirmed.
Thank you
Gunner!
(A cheer for France as they take on England in a friendly)

Ignorance does not fail southgate.

Southgate has once again disgraced himself and his side by revealing his view on the fact that the 3 match ban on mido was unfair. What do we call him? An imbosile? A retard? Ignorant? All 3 would describe him best. The scumbag does not realize that Mido leaves clichy hurt and literally stitched , and this could also create a massive hole in the gunners defence. He does not seem to understand that Clichy's injury could have been far worse which would have resulted in him missing the rest of the season. But why would Southgate care? His team are and never will be near a europe fixture neither will they ever lift a cup at this rate. On top of that he defends his players, when he knows they are completely at fault. This continues to lower his moral and reputation and speaks for the inexperience he sustains, therefore displayed by his side on the pitch. Little does he know that hes in for a treat against arsenal next season.
Thank you
gunner!

Once again , slack and pain.

The enormousity of dropping these two points is nothing in contrast to the way we played today. The result clearly goes against arsenal , the referee went against them and at the end you cant expect a win after going down 1-0 on the 26th minute. Was it a competitive match? Of course not- Boro literally had 11 players in their own box for 75 percent of the game! As far as they were concerned, all they needed to do was clear the ball and make sure Arsenal did not get one in. Little did they know that they were playing at the Emirates, where Arsenal do not lose. A swift header from Kolo Toure saw the teams share the spoils , but it will continue to boost the team morale and give Wenger some hope of bringing silverware home. Frustration has already started to build in the Arsenal camp after they have dropped 8 important points in a month. But the positives for Arsenal remain the fact that in every game played , they're the ones attacking , and the ones being defended against. Today was no special day -the routine went on. Opposition scored and defended for the rest of the match. Middlesborough is known for slackness, and they've proved it again. All we can say is that if this is not our season , it will surely be the next. The title challenge hits its peak in the coming weeks , with Arsenal facing Chelsea, Liverpool and united . Preparing for this with a loss on their minds will be even more difficult , but as they say-its never over till someone lifts the trophy. I would say a win against Chelsea will massively bring us back on track and therefore give us the momentum that we so desperately need.
Thank you
Gunner!

Latics frustrate Arsenal

Its not the first time, its not the second. Once again the gunners come home with only a point to add to their tally. A 0-0 draw at the JJB stadium for the gunners is bound to excite manchester united as they are yet to play derby at home. To arsenal's defence , the pitch was unacceptably disgraceful. Odd bounces, curves and stretches, fast approaches and disturbing unevenness was the result of the football played on the "mud beach". Wigan did indeed do well to hang onto a draw, but a crucial point for them results in discouragement for the young arsenal side. Wenger clearly did not keep his feelings to himself, claiming the pitch was "horrendous and rusty". Rugby players would find that pitch irritating even though they dont play the ball on the ground as much as soccer players. The performance of our midfielders excluding gilberto was far too sensational for the wigan players to handle, and the defence was brick-like. What we massively lacked was the finishing power as adebayor and bendtner were undoubtfully unable to play their top game on this pitch. What we need to be aware of is that losses to west ham and manchester city can easily lead to at least a draw against derby for united. I daresay the title challenge is not yet over. But the game against the Victors of the previous fixture and the only team to beat us in the premier league this season shall give us a hint of things to come.
Thanking you
Gunner!

We're Back !

Joy for the gunner fans and praise for the Arsenal side cant be expressed in a massive way- but oh! What a feeling!
A complete Shocker from fabregas and an awsome build up and finish from adebayor makes the gunners THE ONLY side to ever beat ac milan at the San Siro in a european campaign!
Once again the youngsters have proved doubters wrong by revolutionising the "oldies" and the so called "crisis" is long forgotten.
A Master display combined with perfect zone marking saw the gunners progress to the last 8-- a rather do or die position where the latter will best be avoided. What we experienced today is sheer skill to recover from setbacks, to beat the break and burst ac milans european bubble. Flattuso owned the midfield, fabregas hit the bar and then scored, gallas owned the defence and of course-adebayor owned THE PITCH.
We have to add Ac milans superiority at the start ,but as they say-"Its never over till the end".
Hats off to maldini, who hung in there and fought beatifully.
In the end--A toast to the side literally half milans age and experience and cheers for all supporting. But the party hasnt even started yet- the champions league draw for the last 8 has yet to be made and the title is yet to be won. Once again, I wish gunners all spirit and hope and pray that we face Barcelona. By doing this, we can show Henry what we have become and make him REGRET his decision to leave the mighty arsenal!
Thanking you.
Gunner!
