Say Goodbye to the Mad German!

By that, I do not mean Oliver Kahn, but his compatriot, rival for top spot, Jens Lehmann. While Arsene did say mid-week that only one player can leave, he says that Jens is "about 99 percent chance to leave". So, while he hasn't been the best this season, he has been a top rate keeper in his time here, and we'll miss you. Now go away silently.

And Don't Come Back!

There are STILL rumors that Theirry Henry is coming back home to Arsenal, more than I like to hear, because that means he will probably come back. While he is quality, he isn't what we want. You can read more here, in a post I did a short while back.

Arsenal played Everton last night, and despite popular belief that they would fight hard, they actually played for a point, from what I have read. Nicholas Bentner, the Danish striker, headed home a thunderbolt, according to Arsenal FC's official website, which proves they speak trash, because no one can do that! It hurts dammit!!
Jokes aside, he did score the only goal 13 minutes from time, and denied Everton the draw they were looking for.
Our season is over, but we can still claim 3rd, if Chelsea lose tonight and next week. I can only hope. However, Man U are temporarily clear at the top, after preventing West Ham doing a double over them.
Well, that's all from me at the moment, feel free to drop me a comment (Please do, even just for feedback purposes), and if its football related, all the better! Until Next Time Gunners!!

We are not goin' any higher!

Chelsea pulled off a win against Man U last night, meaning that we will be moving no higher than third. It is possible that we can slip to fourth, believe it or not, but I feel that is about as likely to happen as Derby winning the Premier league. In other words, 0% chance.
Flamini is still keeping us in the dark, but Arsene has made an improved offer. I don't know whether he'll stay, Wenger keeps saying he wants to stay, Juve keep saying they have nearly signed him and I read in one site that they had already signed him, and the Italian media were going to release it later that day. I'm still waiting to hear it. Either way, its 50/50 at the moment.
Hleb on the other hand I feel is going to stay. I don't knw why, just an impulse, although his incident the other week inicates he is bored with the Prem, so he probably wont stay.
Nice to see people are starting to leave comments, and feel free to keep doing so, or to start if you havent already. Any discussion is welcome, your opinion does count here!
Until next time!!

Do we need to sign from other countries?

I was wondering today whether we need to sign some players from other countries of origin, after realising how every season, we are linked to a Frenchman, or an African. Countries seem to have a certain style, German is attacking, Brazilian is free flowing, ect. When it comes to Arsenal, we all seen to have players from one counrty. Almost 90% of our club is either French or African, and I wonder if that makes our style a bit, well, pradictable. When you look at Man U, Chelsea and Liverpool, they all have bought players from diferent places, and they are more successfull in carrying out game plans. We seem to be restricted in that manner. Its almost like the law that states if you want total controll over a team, you bring them in from all over the place, that way they have no way of relating to one another, and it is easier to teach. If we buy from all over, then would it become easier to maintain game plans, easier to get good team chemistry, easier to fool other teams, easier to win titles. Do I have a fair point? I would be interested to hear on this, so if you havent posted a comment yet, maybe now is the time to get your opinion out there! I'll look forward to your thoughts!
