The New Romantics–The Arsenal Story

We play Spurs today in a game that follows shocking news about Arshavin. We have loaned Andrei back to Zenit St. Petersburg as a precursor to them signing him in full in the summer for a reported 6 million pounds.

He is capable of being one of the best players in the world on his day, but he has been unable to turn in enough performances like that in an Arsenal shirt and lost the fans support through poor performances, a perceived lack of effort and and a lack of desire.

I wish him well, the mercurial Russian has real talent and the ability to change the game in any given second. He

Daft Steve Kean – Gunner’s to Smack them Mackems

Hilarious title aside, this is a critical game for Arsenal FC. For FC Wenger. For Arsenal PLC.

We are within scratching distance of Chelski, 3 points away from 4th place. We are coming back to full strength for the run in with the exception of the unfortunate Jack Wilshire and Andre Santos.

That aside, we are looking sprightly and given the 7-1 demolition of Blackburn and Steve Kean we should be brimming with confidence. We need a run, but it is something that is well within the reach of this much-maligned, yet exquisitely talented squad.
