I find it hilarious that somehow we are 3rd in the league table. With a game in hand against Citeh. Wooow!
Since my last post, which was last year, here’s what we have done…
- Drew Wigan
- Won Birmingham
- Drew Citeh
- Drew Leeds
- Lost Ipswich
I look at these results and I think “hey, it’s not that bad Ronnie. I mean look at you, still in the league race, CL, FA Cup, Carling Cup. You are practically still in everything”
Practically. I hate that word. I much rather get the fuck out of CL and FA now, win CC then either narrowly win the league. Or just finish second. Now you can call me a pessimist but we really don’t have any other realistic chance.
Look at it. Ipswich. Lost to Chelsea 7-0. Chelsea. We beat them 3-1. I said on twitter that the only way we can muck this up is if we underestimate them. Not only did we underestimate them, we practically went in thinking this is won.
I don’t like the slightest hint of arrogance when out players go up against lower league clubs. Because, arrogance would mean you have success in the recent years. No matter how much us fans defend that we are the greatest fucking club the world has ever seen, we haven’t won anything for almost 6 years. Please, get that through your head and play every game like your and your family’s lives depend on it. Which it should, but it doesn’t since you get hundreds of thousands of pounds a week. I’m don’t want to have a dig at my own men, but they leave us with no choice. I won’t even bother bashing Arshavin but at the best day this team can beat Chelsea. This team can give City a run for their money. Then what in the world went wrong? 
Let me tell you what went wrong. Arsenal treated this game like I treated Economics Unit 1 in A’ Levels. I went in with just 6 hours of studies under my belt. Wrote my fingers off. Got an 85. Where I should have gotten a 95. Now getting 85 against Eco meaning winning 5-4. It’s a narrow A, your defense AKA evaluation points should have been more in depth. Arsenal got a 70 against Ipswich. Not an A. No good college AKA Carling Cup. Now, they have the exact opportunity like I do. Second Leg. In my case it was replay but you get the point.
And then there was Cesc. I don’t blame him. I know a lot of you have little kids. You know when they muck something up and comes up with excuses. “Oh dad I couldn’t finish the entire exam my pencils weren’t sharp I had to sharpen them”..” I DIDN’T LOSE! YOU CHEATED”.
This is what happens when you don’t finish the chances you get. We payed for it against Citeh. We paid for it against Ipswich.And now they are going to park the bus. Oh joy.
Here’s the upside, we are not Spurs. Yay. Our joy does not come from coming in fourth and barely qualifying. So, chin up.Time for me to eat wheat thins and go to bed.
I Am Gooner, Hear Me Roar! 
Love your unique style of writing and look forward to every new post 🙂 Let’s hope for a stonking result tomorrow!
Great blog. Joy to read as always.
Totally agree with you regarding FA cup & CL exit. We need the CC & I’d take a top four, naturally the win or second better.
Keep up the good work.
You might say I like to contrary you but the thing is players are human and even if it could appear indefensible for fans, we have to understand that players can be a little bored and it is human to not feel the same exhilaration to play a team like Ipswish in midweek after a period like the boxing day. Even if those kinds of game can lead to a trophy, it is just human nature! Denying it would be silly.
So yes, Arsenal didn’t play a fantastic football, but I didn’t see any crime in it, they have done their job anyway.
I will tell you, I hate Puyol as a player but I admire him in his way of fighting anytime. I mean, what are his skills? He isn’t tall, he doesn’t have the finest technic, he doesn’t run fast or have a tremendous passing… but what a fighter! I can’t name one guy fighting as much as him and struggling to avoid defeat. Look, wouldn’t you excuse him for being cool with an opponent striker after his team already scored 4 times? Well, he refuses it anyway. Everyone should be like him according to fans, would it be just because of the millions they are earning for running on a field. But human nature to feel a different thrill according to the game and opponent you are facing.
Not sure I am clear with my idea and english so I will stop here. Good evening!
