There was some cheer today when Wigan struck late to defeat Tottenham by a single goal that keeps the spuds rooted in the relegation zone, my fingers remain crossed. Elsewhere Manu beat Chelsea by three goals, again Rooney was allowed to get away with murder, it really is pathetic how the despicable chav is allowed to get away with this kind of deplorable behaviour on a weekly basis. A draw would have suited us better, we now sit only four points off Chelsea whose recent form must be alarming their fans.
Reflecting on yesterday's win, it was undoubtedly deserved, however I reckon if we'd have started with Vela and Nasri on the flanks then it may well have been a lot more comfortable that it ended up being. I don't dislike Emmanuel Eboue, he's a decent right back, however (for the zillionth bloody time) the man is not a midfielder and he is showing no sign of improving in this regard. I cannot see why Arsene persists with him at right midfield, there are also other options open to Arsene, he could sling in young Jack Wilshere, he could stick Diaby left side and bring Ramsey into the middle with Nasri switching to the right; all of the alternatives would be better than persisting with Eboue in my opinion. Possibly Arsene should concentrate on getting our team up to it's incisive best rather than claiming it's the league's fault, I don't think Eboue would have been incisive in 1996 and he isn't incisive today either.
The Arshavin saga runs on, no prizes for predicting that it will run and run and run. Apparently Zenit have turned down out opening bid of 10 million, it is also rumoured that we are to tease the Russians by upping this to 12 million shortly. Man City are rumoured to be entering the race and I felt like having my say in this regard. If Arshavin fancies going for more money to City then they are welcome to him, we do not need another player who is focused upon money and not success on the pitch. However if he wants to develop himself as a player under one of the greatest coaches in the game and if he would prioritise his playing success over money then he will choose Arsenal every time ahead of the likes of City. Therefore if he comes we want him, if he doesn't then we don't, that's self justifying logic at its best for you! Come on you Gunners.
