Yes yes - I haven't said anything about our boys' 6-0 win over Sheffield United yet. Not that there's much to say, except "wow". I've seen the highlights (unfortunately, that's all I've seen), and it was truly amazing. Wonder who the boss is going to put out on Saturday. Ramsey? Vela? Wilshere? To have them play at that level, while still having Cesc and Denilson doing the work just gives you a nice fuzzy warm feeling in your gut.
I shan't go into all the adjectives available to describe the game. That's been done in the media already - the same media that ruled us out at the start of the season. So let's just take one game at a time, and look forward to the team that trots out on Saturday.
In the meantime, I'm gonna do justice to a great footie website in www.mightyfootball.com, and embed my first Arse game right here. And what better game to do it with, eh?
While everyone's spewing and gushing about our attacking verve, it was useful that Le Boss also spoke about our defence. Useful point to note: in our five Premiership games, the two goals conceded were from set-pieces, and in the Champions League, from the spot. So no goals thus far from open play. Especially with Hull, we've really got to watch against conceding stupid free kicks in our half, coz I think that's just about the only plausible way they're going to get anything from the Emirates. Evidence: Rooney's retard tackle on Arsely Hole which gave away the free kick on Sunday.
The news is that Gael is back (phew) and Silvestre's actually fit. Alex Song seems to have picked up a knock, which is unfortunate. But with Hull, I think we could dispense with the holding midfielder, and go for a straight 4-4-2. Now, what a nice problem, but which is our best 11 right now? Are we going to go Nasri, Cesc, Denilson, Walcott and then RVP, Ade? I actually think we can rest Ade. Give him something to think about, and stick in either Bendtner or Vela. Both must be just brimming with confidence right now, so why not? And RVP? I think we just play him as much as we can now. Who knows when he's going to pick up a knock.
There's also been some closure to the whole thing with fat ass Platini. Typical of what a loser he is, it took him (as a 53 year old) to have his father giving him a talking to come out and apologise:
"I have been told off by my father who set him on his way at Nancy.''
Yes, and Arsene probably screwed your mother Nancy too. The day I have to publicly admit being told off by my father (at age 53, not 13), is the day I euthanise myself. So maybe Mr UEFA President should take the cue.
Elsewhere, there's all sorts of nice things Cesc has been saying of late, and it all sounds rather Captainy:
“I cannot go to sleep as one day or other they will want to play more and more and the manager will want them to play more. I will have to be better and better. Wilshere, Ramsey, Merida — they all play in my position. This is great for me. I love competition."
“The manager is the best at giving youngsters a chance. No one comes near to him for that. He’s not scared to play everyone. He doesn’t care how old they are. It’s amazing. It’s why we have so many good young players. It’s the club’s policy. The loyalty is there when you see that the manager trusts you since you were 15, 16."
I like his last point in particular. How that gives fat ass Platini any room to criticise our youth policy I don't know. So you have a corps of young players, aged 18-23, firmly loyal to the club that took them in - what's the evil in that? What would the fat ass rather? A club full of short-socked Alexander Hlebs?
