Arsenal Frozen out in Москва (Moscow)

Six wins on the trot its been, and i for one have totally enjoyed the ride. If you were to ask me when we should loose, i would have said away to CSKA as opposed to Reading, West brom or Porto! Unfortunatly many other bloggers out there have been shouting at the top of their voices about how poor we were.

If you look at it critically, perhaps we did not hit 1st gear. There were lots of sloppy passes and players not covering well defensively. I wont sit here and pick out any players for blame because i know these group of players are immensely talented and will bounce back from this.

Given the fact that WE WAS ROBBED! The ref didn't even see the incident as his back was towards the the goal. The nerve on the Spanish ref to then dish out a card. Tosser! Henry implied that we weren't awarded the goal because we are not a big club

I think he has a point.

We have Reading on Saturday away, then the Carling cup tie with West brom. I really can not wait to see the young ones play. Denilson must be quite something for him to be included into the squad yesterday.


So Anyways, enough about football. Its D-Day minus 4-5 weeks till bump arrives, and Mrs Bloggs and I just cant wait. We've been attending Lamaze Classes and i must confess that i cant stop chuckling when i am there. There are about 15 couples attending and the midwife is just so funny. The problem here is that i am the only one who seems to be getting her jokes. So when i burst out in my almighty laughter it seems very weird. Mrs Bloggs isn't amused by my antics. I've made a mental note to get a bit tipsy next time round.

Mom-in-Law has been threatening hinting at a possible ambush visit when bump comes. We shall have to keep you posted as to the developments with this story dear readers.

No club football for two weeks!!!

Hello all

Its been an amazing week. Yours truly and Mrs blog (plus bump) finally celebrated our first year of marriage. We went down to Scotland for a road tour, see pics here.



In a word, I'd have to say that its the most beautiful place I've ever been to. Of course, that might mean i need to get out more. I am still recovering from my holiday blues and as such my creative juices arent really flowing. I've also been watching the clock since lunch time hoping for the day to be over so thats not helping either.

Anyways, Arsenal won at Charlton and the remarkable thing is that it was the first time we've come back from a goal down in a long long time. Van Persie had (what for me is goal of the season) a belter of a goal. It was a true joy to watch and i hope he continues to score many more goals this season. Honestly speaking i feel that he has come of age and is primed to be a 20 plus goal scorer.

Arsenal are suddenly becoming a major force thanks to the 5 game winning trot we've been on. And when you consider the number of defensive injuries present, the team will only get stronger as time goes on. It will be interesting to see what happens to Bendtner when he comes back from his now successful loan spell with the brummies. He's already declared he doesn't want to come back to the reserves...so we should see what would happen. I saw the boy play in last years carling cup and he impressed me.

Talking of the carling cup, we've got a tough game against West Brom coming up and am excited by the prospect of seeing some players. Mainly Theo Walcott, Denilson, Fran Merida and Aliadiere these guys are the future and it will be nice to see them given a run out.

Laters gooners and goonerettes!
