Wenger - We're concentrating on the Euro
Arsène Wenger has stated The Arsenal are concentrating
on winning the European Champions League this season. The
Frenchman is quoted as saying winning the Euro is 'vital'
for The Arsenal and in this gleaned report has said "The
minimum criteria for us is to qualify in the group stage
every year, but it is not the minimal that I judge good
enough - I want to do much better. I would be unfulfilled
if I don't do it, but I will do it. I am convinced I will
do it."
Whilst rallying his troops for the this years Euro surge
Saint Wenger took a bit of a pop at northern hub cap nicking
scallies Liverpool by adding "You can be a normal team
and win the European Cup, but you cannot be a normal team
and win the Premiership."
Jol-ly fat man has a pop
It
must be a bad start to the season when the likes of Tottenham
start having a pop. The latest person to jump on the 'Wheels
have fallen off' bandwagon is Spurs coach and pie eating
Martin 'the Jolly Fat man' Jol. The Fat one said "If
the big players are not there - and Vieira is gone and
Henry is out - maybe Arsenal are the same as other teams.
Arsenal is different nowadays."
The Dutchman continued "Arsenal have been better
than us but in football history I don't think that's been
the case." Arsenal league titles 13, F.A. Cup winners
8 times, League Cup 2 times, count them. Compared to
The Scum's 2 league titles and 8 F.A. Cups oh and less
not forgot the Peace Cup they won in East Asia in the summer.
The second placed Dutch manager hasn't been so high in
his life, well not since he finished what ever he had
been smoking.
We shall not surrender
After an indifferent start to the Premiership
season, Saint Wenger has not conceded the Premiership
title now rounded off by a third away loss on the trot,
this time to northern monkeys West Brom of Albion. The
away day loss now sees The Gunners a large 14 points behind
the Chequebook
Champions of Chelsea. In the post match interview the
wily Frenchman was quoted "We have other worries at
the moment - I feel we lost a game we shouldn't have lost.
I feel our team played with a team spirit showing some
great quality, but the overall thing is we were punished
for a lack of experience and maturity."
As everyone knows The Arsenal lost 2-1 at The hawthorns,
and such is our luck at the moment with one of the goals
even coming from 'The one game hero' Kanu. West Brom having
taken a leaf out of follow northern monkeys Middsboro's
book by making history by beating The Arsenal for the first
time in Premiership history.
To make matters worse, Freddie Ljungberg was also injured
in the game ruling him out for possibly the next 3 weeks.
Camp Freddie now joins Ashley Cole, Alexander Hleb, Robin
van 'Lord' Persie, Thierry Henry and Sol Campbell with
the sick notes.
Although...
With more injuries in the Arsenal camp than Darren Anderton
can point a stick at, Saint Wenger might spring a surprise
in the European Champions League game against Sparta Prague.
The shrewd Frenchman might gamble on playing sick note
waving Sol Campbell and Captain and all round Mr Nice Guy
Thierry Henry in the third group game.
Saint Wenger commented "I can't find the
experience and maturity we need, other than in the treatment
room (which has had a spanking brand new extension built,
including the Darren Anderton Wing). We have a lot of injuries
to worry about - we have nine players out at the moment.
Thierry's progress is remarkable. But we are going from
day to day." This has led many sites/papers including SkySports
who we nicked this from to predict the Frenchman might
have a trick or two up his sleeve.
Walking in an Arsenal Wunderland - last chance
It's
still up for grabs.. After losing a lot of information
when Allgoonerdup had problems with the server recently,

So we're going to make it easier to win the Wunderland
t-shirt. The new question is why should you win it? Simple,
isn't it? the best one gets picked out the magic hat next

round-up in 60 seconds or less...
Jeepers keepers,
with the news that The Arsenal were looking at their player,
Scottish giants Glasgow Celtic have signed on loan goalkeeper
Artur Boruc on a permanent contract.. that's it for now...
ex keeper Graham Stack who was off loaded to Reading
prior to his court case has had a pop at The Arsenal
by repeating what 'Chelsea Village Idiot' Peter Kenyon
said during the Cole-Gate affair. The James Bond looking
villain famously said Arsenal was full of cliques. Well
now keeper Stack has backed up the statement and also
added The Arsenal didn't back him during his trial...
