Time to Step it up

Hello Gooners, yes I am back and back at a time when things are looking good but at the same time can’t get that bitter feeling out of my mouth. So let’s start on that note then, people are coming-up with some of the most ridicules excuses for Ryan Shawcrossand how he’s a fucking nice chap and I know this has already been said too many times already but how many of you actually think that if the an English superstar was on the other-end of this challenge. Would the media react the same way? No not a bit. I can come up with plenty of examples but again there are plenty of them out there already. What I want to say is that enough is enough and this really is time for the FA to start doing something about it. More clubs should raise their voice and make a point out of it otherwise we’ll soon lose a great player fore-ever.

Now let’s leave it at that and go to the other feeling that has been running around the stomach lately. We are only three points from the top and it is getting very exciting. Let us look at what we have done so far this season, we have already lost six times this season and that is two times more than we did in 2008 and still came third so this gives an example of how competitive the league is this season. Another this that I wish to point out is that we are two behind Unites and three behind Chavs but if we look at it we have lost six points to both of them so that means we have done better against the rest of the league than both the teams above us and we will only be playing the rest of the league for the rest of the season so you can probably figure-out what I want to say.

We’ll be getting detailed team news on Friday but Gallas still looks short. Word has it thatDiaby will be fit and so should Andre. So the team news is not that bad. We’ll be missing Song and that’s a big miss but we should be able to manage without him against Burnley. We lost Eduardo on the 21st of Feb 2008 and lost the plot, now we have lost Aaron on the 27th of Feb and it is time to show what we are made of. The team is almost the same as it was two years ago and mush more experienced. We’vebeen talking about experience for a long time and we’ve been talking about trophies for even longer, the time is now to step it up and bring the big silver cup home.

I need an excuse to drink my beer from a bigger cup come the end of the season.
