ARSENAL ARE CRAP

For some other team it will be seen as a crisis but at Arsenal it is business as usual. On Tuesday, Manchester United rolled into town and dispatched Arsenal from the champion’s league in eight short minutes. The game ended 1-3 to Man Utd but that result flattered Arsenal.

On Sunday, Chelsea turned and drubbed Arsenal 1-4. Arsenal had the better part of twenty minutes then succumbed to two quick goals and this game was over as a competition.

Did I tell you that Arsenal were at home for both games. Well it wouldn’t have mattered where the games were played as they were just woeful and the rot is becoming a permanent stench.

Arsenal as a team can’t score and can’t defend; possession or intricate passes does not give you points. The strikers they have are not good enough and neither are the defenders any better. They are too short to defend set pieces and what was Silvestre doing yesterday backing off Anelka daring him to shoot. Of course Anelka took his chance while the Arsenal strikers couldn’t hit a barn door from two yards.

Arsene Wenger is selling his fans a fantasy and a very bad product. In any other industry he will be sued for false advertising or fraud because he continues to promise that his product will be good enough to win the league but they haven’t done that for five years and on this evidence won’t be changing that terrile record soon.

Average players will not win in a league that demands top performances from its top players. Wenger is short changing his team by stubbornly sticking to this youth policy that has not won anything of substance including any games that mattered in the last three years.

A friend of mine took his young son to the game and I hope the son isn’t scarred with the drubbing his father’s team took yesterday. I would rather have my teeth pulled out without drugs than continue to watch Eboue, Diaby and co play football. It is too painful.

Of course, Arsene Wenger’s job is safe and that might be the problem. Wenger knows he won’t get sacked if he continues to serve up this tosh. It has been announced that he will get £40m for his transfer kitty and I can bet he is off to French West Africa to recruit or possibly the French league to pick up some potential good player instead of paying top dollar for established experienced players.

Arsenal fans, the suffering and smiling will continue.
