You can imagine I am enjoying myself at the moment.... the thing is I cannot find any goons in N London/Herts since half time on Saturday... when I had to turn my phone onto silent to escape the piss taking... he who laughs last....as they say....
Them imploding tonight is a massive bonus to all those wanting to get into the CL... they now have to win their last group game (they should do) but, they play at OT the week-end after that last CL game, had they qualified tonight, Wenger would have rested most of his team for the last game (in readiness for United) he now can't do that..... they have Villa, Manure, Stoke, Chelsea, Brum and you between now and FA Cup 3rd round week.... it is a tough run and with players missing through injury I am hoping they start sliding....
It is shaping up to be one interesting season, we have Defoe back, Lennon back, King and Dawson a couple of weeks away and Woodgate back for January as he joined in full training yesterday for the first time and trained again today....
Thye've still got a huge squad so I reckon they can still qualify comfortably. Tonight's result was a blow for them, but they're still well placed.
I am hoping Spurs stay in the Champions League so that you continue to be worn down. If you get Dawson and King back that could make all the difference in the League
They will qualify (sadly), but as for a huge squad, I would not go that far....
If they had the CB injuries we have (King, Dawson, Woodgate) IE: 3 CB's injured, they would be left with one..... they have Squillaci, Vermeulen, Djourou, Koscielny and that's it..
We still have Gallas, Bassong, Kaboul.... and Corluka, Huddlestone, Caulker who can also play there.....
They have a lot of talented attacking players but with the exception of Bender and Chamakh, they are all very similar, hence the reason when they are behind in games it is very hard for them to change the way they play to chase a game....
Cesc, Nasri, Arse shavings, Walcott, Ro sicky, RVP, Denilson, Vela, Wilshire....... all small nimble technical players....
City have Milner, Johnson, SWP, Silva, Toure, Barry, Tevez, Adebayor, Jo.... who all offer somthing a little different from one another.....
Spurs have Lennon, Bale, Huddlestone, Modric, VDV, Defoe, Crouch, Pav, Bentley, Kranjcar, Palacios who like City all have something different they can offer.....
The Arsenal players are wonderfully talented, but, once they have been found out/worked out..... (as it would seem they have now) and with their lack of an experienced head (Sol, Gallas, Silvestre all dumped by Arsenal in the summer)..... they seem to run out of ideas if they fall behind....... WBA, Spurs, Newcastle, Shakhtar, Braga and Chelsea are the games they have been behind in this season and they have lost all of them....
Compare to Spurs.... 9 times in the PL we have gone behind in games this season, 5 times we have come back to win in those games..... I wish we would stop falling behind... but it shows that we can change the way we play and our tactics..... Arsenal struggle to do so..
