Jam's Bio

Hi,

Thank you for checking-out my bio.

My name is James but everyone calls me Jam (my gym teacher once called me this by accident, everybody laughed and it stuck). I'm from the UK and i love Arsenal Football Club.

I love the beautiful game when it is played the right way, which Arsenal do. I am also a big fan of Ac Milan in Italy, and Barcelona in Spain.

Generally, I appreciate good football and good footballers, wherever they come from. Therefore, i intend to present an honest opinion on the current football news stories, especially those relating to Arsenal Football Club.

Yeah I know, sorry about that, but I've had a million things to do, still do as school is really piling up these days!

Napoli has been outstanding since Donadoni was booted, way overdue if you ask me but better late then never I guess! I'm thrilled over Juve's 5-2 win in Bergamo but I was nervous at times as Atalanta threatened to come back. Lazio hasn't been doing so well so I wouldn't be surprised if Milan snatched a point or three. As for Inter, they're continuing their run from last season, play good or play crap, they always pick up the points. When the hell will Lady Luck leave their side? I'm gonna try to watch both games between studies ;) Would be absolutely awesome to see Roma down Inter at the San Siro! One last thing, have you seen how Mourinho looks these days? It's like he's aged like 15 years since his Chelsea days.. the poor things is completely stressed out hehe

Man Marquez is beginning to piss me off lately. :x

See what his blunder against Kazan has put us into ! If not for his blunder, Barca would have had 6 points and been ahead of Inter ! One moment of madness and you are close to elimination!

I don't expect Barca to go beyond group stages !

Am sure we are going to be the first team to lift the Europa Cup and life a unique treble UEFA Cup/La Liga/Copa Del rey !!!

Milan has been doing extremely well lately and with a little luck they could even have won the second fixture with Real Madrid. I'm really happy to see Ronnie playing well again, and just loved his little flick to Seedorf as the San Siro crowd cheered them on. And his spot-kick, an absolute stunner!

Things are going alright for Juve as well, expect for the little hiccup against Napoli where they basically invited their opponents into the match. But at least Gio is playing a LOT more these days!

Both Milan teams are taking on Roman teams this week. I hope ya'll do fine, not so much Inter :P and by the way, didn't you kinda expect them to turn the score against Dynamo despite the clock ticking its way to the end.. typical...

Barcelona are struggling :(

The offside trap goes wrong every fucking time.

It's most probably going to end in a draw as Osasuna are defending with 10 men!

Arsenal win :) and Real also win :(

Hoping Milan will win against Parma on Sunday !

Barcelona are playing currently against Osasuna . 20 mins into the match and Osasuna are threatening !

Benz is quality and his pairing with Higuain will be lethal, but both of them are not playing together more often, our old man Raul definitely needs to be on the bench.

As for Pellegrini, he has removed Drenthe from the squad and won't play Marcelo as a defender, a sign of change perhaps.

Pellegrini is a top manager, he just needs to pull his shit together and needs to show that he's the boss, which he has done by dropping Guti! Ah there is hope after the ridicule!

I am starting to like Stoke because of their work ethic, even the strikers come back to help.

Tony Pulis is a smart smart man, look at the signings he made, I actually root for them when they don't play against us. They just need better central midfielders.

Shawcross and Abdoulaye Faye are top top defenders, definite big 4 material. But I don't want any one of them leaving.

As for Arsenal, if we want to win something we need to sign Steven Defour and Diego Lopez in the winter!

1) The pairing of Albiol and Pepe was good to be honest before the Milan clash that is. sigh. Albiol is better and more consistent than Pepe though. Pepe is quality but sometimes I don't know what happens to him.

2) True
3) True
4) Ezequiel maybe a CB but is a decent defender, I am talking of a strategy quite similar to Stoke's (Stoke play 4 friggin' CBs and Stoke tbh are quite good defensively, give them an year or two, they'll be in Europa League provided they keep the same squad and make a few additions in the center of midfield—I didn't like them when they beat us but now they really are looking solid)
5)Raul was in fine form last season and we had no other striker. (Don't say Hunter because that guy can't even make a spot in Milan). A match here and there for the man would be good enough.
6) Benz.....I dunno, I still prefer Higuain. Alternate matches to Higuain and Benz and to RvN when he's fit.

Hey, Am doing fine man.

Work is getting pretty hectic , not finding much time to do anything apart from work !

Spuds will lose anyway, they can't handle pressure for nuts. NLD is for Arsenal to take provided the keepers are not caught off guard. Am sorry to say, Arsenal lacks a quality keeper! Just when the team is getting better, the GK screws things up !

And am more eagerly awaiting Milan-Madrid match to hammer the last nail in the coffin for Pellegrini ! Will serve him right for being greedy and also Perez will probably learn money doesn't bring success !

And who is this guy who thinks Real will beat Barca this el Clasico ?

Bah! Best joke I've seen in ages. They can't beat a third division team !

Pellegrini is a nice manager, and I agree this season should be given to him, the players are also backing him.

But if he continues to make the following mistakes I want him sacked:
1. Playing Marcelo at Left Back.
2. Playing Lass and giving him the role of Xabi and the role of Lass to Xabi!
3. Playing Lass instead of Mahamadou.
4. Not playing Ezequiel Garay or Alvaro Arbeloa at left back.
5. Giving Raul more chances than Higuain.
6. Not playing Kaka in the center.
7. Not playing Van der Vaart but playing Drenthe instead!
8. Not playing Granero on the left wing.
