What a season!
As an Arsenal supporter I am having a nightmare along with thousands of others! Have you ever seen such a turnaround? One minute (well two seasons, but we don't want the facts to get in the way of a good story!) we are invicible! The season before we don't lose a game away from home. This season we have only won two away games losing 6, and now we have lost 2 home games! Chelsea you can kind of understand, but West Ham! As much as I love the Hammers (my 2nd favourite team - any team that supplies 3 of the England World Cup winning team can't be bad!) Arsenal should not lose to them at Highbury.
In hindsight, should the board have fought tooth and nail to hang on to Viera? I think if they could turn the clock back, they would now. As a last season in the fabled Marble Halls go, this has been a disaster!
But Viera has gone, the King (of midfield) is dead! Long live the King (of midfield)! But where is he? We have some great talent coming through, Fabregas is a hell of a player now let alone in a couple of years when he'll be 20!! But we need some mature talent now! Someone who can mix it with the tough guys of Newcastle, Bolton, Chelsea and Man Utd.
There have been two players moving around that I think could have provided experience and no small amount of skill to the midfield. Scott Parker! Remember him? When he was at Charlton he could do no wrong, created and scored goals, looked like an England player through and through. He went to Chelsea and was probably their toughest tackler (after 2 ton Terry! What a rock he is, how much would we have to pay from him!) now you hardily hear about Scott Parker. He needs regular football in a team challenging for honours. Another ex-Charlton player has just signed for 'Sp_rs' (sorry can't write it!) Danny Murphy, unless he has injury problems that I'm not aware of, he could also have done a great job for Arsenal. He would have provided experience and guile to the midfield - not too bad at taking free-kicks as well!
While I'm on my soapbox, what about a hand for Thierry as well? Yakubu? He always caused problems for us when he was playing for Portsmouth - a real handfull. What a boost it would have given him and us for him to be pummeling other defences!
Well got that off my chest....phew! Come on you Gunners!
Oh and while I'm at it, how about some shooting practice from more than 8 yards! You don't have to walk it in! Look at Chelsea, how many deflected goals did they get last year? Get some shots in lads! Link
