Arsenal News: Happy Endings?

A Thursday Arse to you all.

The weekend is close at hand but is not here, quite. We have another pivotal game coming up on the weekend as the Manky shite play host to us in the Premier League.

It may not be quite as huge as previously thought. Many of us think that a win over Man USA on the weekend could spark a late burst, and push us on to the title. I however think that we are playing more for pride and the fact that we should never ever give up till the rather pudgy lady sings.

The title, as Arsene puts it is only a "mathematical" possibility. A win in enemy territory though will apply the much needed balm, I think.

Most of the news today surrounds the Champions League game at Anfield, and looking forward to the Man U clash.

Our big Togolese striker Adebayor beseeches his Gunner brethren to forget about the tragedy of a game against the Scousers and focus on the Premier League game in hand:

"The most important thing now is to stay focused on what we can achieve this season."

"We are still playing for the title and we still believe we can win something at the end of the season. Sunday will be another big game for us and we will see what we can do. We have learned a lot of things this year, but the boss has more experience than anyone here."

"He knows the words he will use so that we can come back on the pitch to be more successful and want it more."

Billy Gallas has blamed the team's inexperience for the loss in midweek, saying:

"We lacked experience. You can't concede a penalty 30 seconds after equalising."

Really, I think Gallas should shoulder some of the responsibility for the defeat. It wasn't for nothing that the Kop stuck four in the net.

Enough of all this talking down shite. Our defence was a bit crap, and that did us in, when it all came down to it.

A new captain in the new season? What do y'all think about that? Well that's stuff we will be left to ponder over in the close season, so will leave it at that.

Arsene will have plenty to roll over in his head come the end of the season, this piece takes a look at what Wenger might do in the build up to next season.

A lot of folks, Arsenal "supporters" and others have had their knives out for Arsene and these stories such as this, and indeed this fly in the face of general opinion.

Before I run away will tell you that Gunners Legend Dennis Bergkamp, is all set to take up a diploma in the coaching of the beautiful game. He has all the raw materials in place according to me.

Dennis said: “I'm starting to get the itch to get back into football.” Le Prof is set to take him under his wing, as this report suggests. Cheers Dennis!

Would love to see you back in any capacity at The Arsenal.

A current Legend at the club, Cesc Fabregas' remarks have sent some of the press to read too much into what he said, and have lead them to churn out stories like this. Cescy allays all such fears here. I wouldn't worry too much if I was you.

As far as expectation at the start of the season goes, we overachieved a bit. Our disappointment though stems from how it all fell apart in the last few weeks.

We could only get better from here on in, right?

A little more patience Gooners, this story has a happy ending!
