....

ok...its bayern vs arsenal..chelski vs barca...man yoo vs milan...real vs juve...and others.this got to be the best champions league draw ever!obviously cant wait to see man yoo and chelsea crashed out so arsenal can face real next.ive been waiting for 4 years to see arsenal vs real madrid and i got this funny feeling that its going to happen this year.if it does.its gonna be the best match of all time bet with my life i will for that.bfore that its going to be very tough for us to overcome bayern first.just hope that our best players will be on top form for that game.anything less will be disaster for us.


its reported before that real are going to make a 5.3M bid for our edu.edu himself not sure to stay or not.hope he stay though cos the squad is sure better with him in it.other news is wenger been fined 15000 for calling van nistelrooy a cheat.if kicking cole's knee and not admitting it afterwards is not a cheat wonder what crime must he do to deserve call.bet fergusmoan'd be having a big christmas party to celebrate le boss's shortcoming.

its pompey this sunday.they are fucking though to beat at home.dont do a man yoo guys.beat the hell out of portsmouh go gunners!!

what a misss...

i rate last synday match against chelski as a match that shouldve been won by us.cant think how henry missed that chance from 6 yards out after a stunning first goal.few positives note from the game though.the first half we showed too much respect for chelsea.the 2nd we were unlucky to concede the goal coz for i think gudjuonssen just stuck his head up and the ball looped over the impressive almunia in goal.after that we played much better,fabregas and flamini even got the better off lampard and makelele.fabregas was soo damn good.his passing and vision was outstanding.cant believe hes just 17.remember i said that fab will be the best central midfielder after this season?keep that in mind guys..

k guys dont have much time to blog more.got manufacturing class next.another sleepy hour for me.chow,,

the art of a midfielder...

after watching us trashed the rosenborg last wednesday, finallly the burden after loosing vs man yoo seemed to have got out from the players system.the performance was quite outstanding especially by our two young central midfielders in fabregas and flamini.flamini was always busy closing people down and thankfully made lots of crunching tackles that'd made vieira proud.the boy alongside him just got better and better.after watching the performance of our young spaniard i started to wonder, what make a midfielder a great one?what differ vieira and gerrard?well the most important think of being a central midfielder is u got to kepp your dicipline intact all the time.your main job obviously is to support the back when needed,and then always available when your team's attacking.other things like passing,scoring and tackling just as important to add for the character of a central midfileder.you might ask then, for all their quialities, which one makes the midfielder the best around?some of you might argue but for me the most important skill for a central midfielder have to be tackling.dont get me wrong u have to be good at scoring and passing too,but if u cant tackle you'd get muscled out of the game easily.right now when talking bout the best central midfielders the name of vieira gerrard lampard keane are always mentioned.thank god for me we got the best in vieira.but wait,vieira dont have the range of passing like gerrard an lampaard has.well he doesnt,but he make up for that with his tireless running up and down the field.he always be available whenever his team need him.first time i saw arsenal game was when i was 14 and i remember how i adored vieira that day.everytime the oppeonents(leicester i think) tried to start attacking from the midfield he'll be there stopping the penentrating runners and shut down the room for passes.everytime he tackled he got the ball and bang the arsenal attack started.after eight years he still doing what he does best and the team will keep improving with him onboard.steven gerrard may be the best passer but he always got in the place where the team can do without him.that should say that his dicipline isnt quite good yet.remember when benitez arrived he soundly said that gerrard has to change his style of play from the running all over the place player to the positioning player,who only get forwar when needed to and helping the defence everytime.for me right now lampard is better than him just because his dicipline is much better than gerrad.bout roy keane well he sucks nowadays.the days of the great enforcer of manchaser seem to be ended really soon.he simply doesnt has the legs anymore.that;s why man yoo played like shit lately.

ok guys enough of that.its chelski this weekend.hope fabregas and flamini can stop lampard and co this weekend.plz arsenal dont lose this one...

on the slide we are..

finally got me some time for blogging...well it was one of the worst month for arsenal since 2001 and thank god last night we finally won comfortably...eventhough it was against a side contained rejects from other teams it was a win that we really needed to get that ol' confidence back...almunia got his first start yesterday and got the clean sheet straight away...well he didnt have nothing to do for most of the game though..the performance again was not up to the usual standard le boss even admitted that we did a'professional' job that was very unlike arsenal(for those who dont know a professional job refers to teams playing just to win nothin else matters like the real devils :) )...usually when the going gets though we'd expect the players to get their foot stuck in work hard make challenges, just show their other side of the game..somehow we didnt do that in this torrid period of time, and trust me, i'm getting sicker to see pires chickening out from a challenge the last two games...suddenly the agression of the ol' arse went missing...tell me did any of you guys see a blue shirt made a tckle in the first half against liverpool?mind u we got a player with the longest legs around and come on guys arsenal without tackling?thats unheard of...i'd like to see the arsenal that make opponents fear them,the old arsenal that when the opponents get the ball the next minute they'll lose it cos they'll be flurried with arsenal tackles...trust me until we can get back to that arsenal we'd never beat chelski next week....

i dont reall anticipate the match next week...just hoping deep inside that we can get back to the high standards that we set for ourselves...its rosenborg first though...ok chow lah...
