face it, man

apparently, fergulicious sez that arse are in disarray and wengker is not happy with his new busom buddy ... i say al's right to an extent. anyway, it's just the f*cking media beating things up. just remember that cornered animals are the most difficult to handle.

this is it boys

the captain wows to attack ... great but please try not to dine in hell. note the kit :-O

hope he knows we don't do sarker here

ivan gazidis has been appointed the new chief executive officer

hill-wood opines: “ivan’s credentials are first class. it is evident that he has a wealth of business acumen (???) together with a broad knowledge of football (???) that will not only help to maintain arsenal’s pre-eminent standing but enhance our reputation within the football community and international commercial markets(???)"

think the 2 key words here are "business" and "commercial" ... scary, man:-0

deputy commissioner with the major soccer league in the US ... wow, really?

a winning weekend?

newcastle 0: chelski 0 (epl)

bordeaux 1: chelski 1 (CL)

they've not been so hot lately.

phew!

gooners 1: kyiv 0
sub bendtner 87

scrappy but i'll take it ... pink boots and all.

resurgence? not really ... let's see how we handle the next group of russians this weekend.

on go the training wheels

cesc gets the armband ... at such a sh*tty stage of proceedings, do not envy him. the pressure to do well must be intense ... it's only the CL left this season and we may not even be in it next.

has he the respect from team mates?, spose so. is he inspirational? in fits this season. any other candidate? ...er ... he'll have to do. let's move on.

actually hoping for a spurs type transformation ... :-0

next up: russian roulette at home.

sez it all ...

fold!

gooners 0: adug city 3
(ireland 45,robinho 56, sturridge 90 pen)

can just hear the knee jerk calls for le gaff's head ... so, can anyone tell me who esle can do the job? ...

i say start all over again, arsene. it starts here and now ... some insprational words from that sage oscar goldman ... "gentlemen, we can rebuild him. we have the technology. we have the capability to build the world's first bionic man. steve austin will be that man. better than he was before. better, stronger, faster." ... and that theme song ......

have we arrived at critical mass?

captain nicotine does the laundry in public ... here and here. seems like things have been simmering for some time. more problems for le gaffer ... but i suppose he's known about this combustible internal situation for some time now.

internal strife or unhappiness can no doubt be extremely damaging to a campaign, just look at our jeckle and hyde form and the situation at toteringham under ramos as compared to that under redknapp.

la dolce villa

wengker now says: "You cannot speak about whether you will be champions or not at this stage but to be champions you need to be consistent - and we are not." smell a crisis?
