Comments on: The Harsh Reality Is, We Are Not A Good Side Now http://thegoonblog.com/2009/02/the-harsh-reality-is-we-are-not-a-good-side-now/ | Arsenal news and opinion - transfer news - financial news Tue, 21 Feb 2012 15:37:33 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.5 By: Gooner http://thegoonblog.com/2009/02/the-harsh-reality-is-we-are-not-a-good-side-now/#comment-726 Gooner Mon, 02 Feb 2009 05:47:25 +0000 http://thegoonblog.wordpress.com/?p=433#comment-726 Last time I checked: a) we are one a 10 game unbeaten run without the likes of Fabregas, Rosicky, Eduardo and many players playing nowhere near their potential - Ade, Eboue, Diaby and perhaps Clichy and Sagna b) RvP has fulfilled all his potential c) We are still in all the major tournaments d) were 5 points behind Chelsea, who spent alot more money than us on their players. e) we still have a very good chance of finishing 4th and winning perhaps the FA Cup f) we have the best youth in the league. And last time I checked Vela had been setting English football on fire. Our team with an average age of 19 beat a full strength Wigan (who may play UEFA cup) 3-0 and completely dominated them, with Vela the star. This is not to mention Denilson, Diaby, Nasri and Song who are all very young and are expected to be as good as Pires, Viera, Edu, Ljundberg and Parlour every week. g) We may be signing Arshavin very shortly h) We still have Arsene Wenger Now that is just a small, hastily compiled lists of the positives of the season so far. It is very easy to be negative but maybe if supporters were a little more positive then the atmosphere at the Emiraes might be something to crow about. Last time I checked:

Now that is just a small, hastily compiled lists of the positives of the season so far. It is very easy to be negative but maybe if supporters were a little more positive then the atmosphere at the Emiraes might be something to crow about.

Walcott, Wilshere, Vela, Ramsey, Merida, are bigger talents than Wellbeck, Gibson or Possebon. Much bigger. Gibbs is of the same level as Fabio, only Rafael exceeds our right backs (and frankly, everyone's.) And we haven't even discussed Coquelin. Not realistic, just jumping on the bandwagon of United, like Faker (who did make a good point)? I will have your balls indeed.
