The only hard fact about the long running Arshavin saga is that it will all by over by 5pm, or in the following minutes.

And it is about time and im sick of writing about it.

Former Gunner Emmanuel Petit has been talking about how we are badly in need of experience, speaking to the BBC he said;

“The club needs to spend a little bit of money to bring some experienced players who can hold the dressing room and be a leader on the pitch,

“When I see Arsenal ready to spend £15m on Arshavin, I don’t mind, but I would rather spend that kind of money on bringing back (AC Milan’s Mathieu) Flamini.”

I agree totally. Its something we lack but we do have it within the squad, more than you may think at first glances. The point about Flamini is a very good one and im sure if he turned up at the deadline every Gooner would welcome him with open arms. I would.

Petit seems keen for us to spend money, highlighting the defence as a key area and adding more experience to the defence,

“I would rather spend money buying some defenders and one more goalkeeper. But you need experienced players to win games at the end.”

We really do need a big Russian or Italian rock in the middle of our defence, not that it will happen as Wenger does prefer more athletic centre backs.

That hideous, ugly man Matt Le Tissier has been spouting off about Wenger leaving Robin Van Persie on the bench, along with lots of other people actually. I think it was a good decision in all truth, we had enough class out there to create chances against West Ham, they just cant play together.

He said;

You can’t win the title with your top-scorer sat on the bench. It’s a pretty clear signal, I think.

“It was only about 10 minutes before half-time when Emmanuel Eboue, who in all fairness wasn’t having a very good game, hobbled off and they put Carlos Vela on in front of Robin van Persie.

If Van Persie was booked he would have missed the game against Spurs next weekend, a game that we will have to play much better in as they always raise their game against us. Would you rather Van Persie on the bench or suspended?

It was a brave, and good decision in my view. If you disagree feel free to comment.

What the hell does Matt Le Tissier know about aiming for league titles anyway? Since when was he involved in one at Southampton? Go and specialise on Championship football you jumped up prat. Think of the bigger picture maybe?

Im really starting to get pissed off with people blaming Wenger, why not look higher up in the Arsenal set up? He is not Arsenal for christ’s sake. Shitanta Sports Pat Dolan is the most rrecent offender,

It is going to be five years since Wenger has won a league title and four years since he won a trophy. People need to ask him some serious questions.

Ask him questions but he is by no means to blame. The buck does not stop at Arsene and people need to realise that.

I will try and update you with any relevations, RE. Owl faced Russian.

Til Then.
