Faith

After all the news and worry about players Arsenal football club could sign,it would now appear our lasminute.com players have started too look real quality buys.
I will be the first to say that Mertersacker has made some mistakes but at least he provides strong competition for places in the back four,
Gerviniho is starting too look a great buy he still needs time and appears to be a touch or two away from becoming a great player;his positioning and movement on and off the ball is great,he looks like he understands the "Arsenal Way" to play football.
We look now to have real depth in places all over the pitch,
Arteta, I believe has helped ramsey develop more as a playermand our hero Jack Wilshere looks like he is itching to play with this team,we all know that RVP is loving football with the current squad it would appear that the recent additions to the squad have breathed some life into our dutch super star!
Yet people still seem too think we need more talent the truth is can you really ever have to much talent? I guess the answer is no.
But given the summer, to much talent is a curse at Arsenal,it means your time in the red side of london is nearing its end,and a big money move is around the corner!
I don't think our dutch superstar is considering a move away just yet,instead I would think he is praying every night to stay fit for the Arsenal.
If Arsenal were to recruit more talent then the names we have already been linked with would be great additions to our squad,I don't think we are as desperate as the papers like to make out for a "top signing",are we?
Already this season "top"players have shown very poor form for heavy investments,when the fact is on a shoe string budget Wenger has bought players that are putting in great performances,it feels like we have genuine match winners on the pitch now,and with Diaby coming back to the squad, we suddenly have more depth in midfield.
There are a lot of Diaby haters out there,and I hear you,but if the guy stay's fit,he could turn out to be some player,would you dare doubt Le Boss?? For me if AW rates him he is a talent.
Things are really looking up for the Gunners,yes there is a lot of football to be played,but 5 games into this season where did you see us?the staff have really turned it around,
The only bad news has been talk of Le Boss moving on,I feel this is a topic for another blog,but in this writers opinion.....off where??what huge team would want a guy who doesn't spend big,and isn't used to mega stars in the dressing room?!I think AW and Arsenal are a match made in heaven,the future is looking good,start getting your hopes up Gooners!!!

Pessimistic Gooners

Pessimistic Gooners
Why does it seem so hard to write about our great club when things are going well?

We are in a great run of form; RVP has for me made it clear he is a gunner to the soul ,Tommy V is back and LK looks awesome and suddenly all Wengers talk at the beginning of the season about having to many good CB is starting to ring true.
LE BOSS has done it again tricked us all we have suddenly depth in most positions and still our super star JW is out.  (he should start training again Mid-December.)

Yet I sit here and none of these facts stick in my mind no for me all that sticks out is why did silent Stan go to the training ground to see the players? and what did he say?
Being totally honest with you, I miss the days when the only names of people related to the club that fans knew were 11 players, a few subs and the manager.
Since that easy jet flight over Chelsea and the dopey looking russian buying Chelsea from a bird’s eye view, It seems everyone is interested in who runs the club, who pays the bills, who decides on a revenue stream and who makes the tea!

This has become the norm so much that it often dominates the sports headlines more than the results in fact I'm starting to think that the result is the last bit of news behind, the owner, who slept with who and the reaction when he was substituted etc!

For me the best owners for a football club are the ones no one knows, the ones who keep their mouth shut and pay the bills. I know "silent Stan" isn't our owner, but he is as good as ,yet even being silent has landed him in trouble with us,

It’s a funny old world they always say in a way I feel for Stan it can't be easy. I mean sure we make him more money than any other investment he has made in the world of sport and yes we complain about high prices but we haven't given him the right to remain silent.

What worries me most though is still the idea of him turning up to the training ground some have said maybe he was saying hello, some say he was showing he cares, but surely if he cares he would talk to us the fans? Just to give us some idea that he understands what we are going through, I would even settle for some cheesy Hollywood line like "we are all in this together" or anything!
For me none of the above fit, I feel it was all a publicity stunt the timing for me was to "american" it was too "the press are there,you best be"  maybe we have all got it wrong, but for me it feels like a takeover like the final slap in the face for Usamov and Dein.
Stan turning up too mark his territory showing he can go anywhere and that the players are his/
This is the news that all us pessimistic gooners have been waiting for finally something to worry about!
