Sunday musings, interlull and a fed up Gooner!

Well another Sunday comes around but this time there is no heartbreak or rapture at Arsenal's performance. Internationals have given us a rest from all that. However how did you feel Friday night after England's, errm how can I put this, typical crap performance and Rooney's petulance, once again make it a rough road to the Euro's. personally I do not give us a cat in Hell's chance of getting anywhere in it. Yet again we will be subjected to the media hype of Engerland!!!!! Only to find how they turn on everyone involved like rabid dogs and blaming everyone but themselves for the over hype and England fans will be left with the cost of spending money on all things England, beer, mugs banners, another bloody shirt change etc and that empty feeling the day after when our so called England stars come home, the only winners being the advertisers, UEFA and Ultimately the fat cats at FIFA. Am I moaning? Too bloody right. I have watched England go down the toilet since 1970 and am sick of the whole bloody thing, give me Arsenal every time.

I mean even the egg chasers have caught the England disease, drinking throwing dwarfs, shame they could not throw a ball as well as they chuck down alcohol and hobbits in NewZealand. So go the Welsh.

I thought today would be all things international in the papers today but no, low and behold the Mirror comes up trumps with yet another round of Arsenal bashing. First inside the back page, a gleeful headline and a photo of an Arsenal banner telling Wenger to go! So we have another protest group, this time we have ArsenalFCnotPLC. No banners shouting at the board or Silent Stan but thanking Arsene for he memories but it's time to say goodbye! The Arsenal fan who formed it, Chris Adnett, says we are on a downward spiral and it is time for him to go. Cue the paper to remind us we lost 8-2 to the mancs.....again! Yes we are at a low point but if Chris had taken time to read Gooner Dan and Gooner Bubble maybe he would have seen that has not always been plain sailing with Arsenal and there is no such thing as a god given right to be at the top just because we have been royally spoilt over the last fifteen years. What we need are our fans getting behind the team, sadly something lacking at the Emirates which I have seen time and time again by the "sit daarn group we now seem to have. Beside aren't the Black scarf group already doing this by asking for our Arsenal back? Yet another split dividing Gooners when we should be voicing as one to support the team. Yes Arsene needs help, I am not denying that but getting rid? Be careful what you wish guys because this has shades of Leeds Utd written all and it is down to our board to wake up and not letting our manager shoulder the entire blame of profit before all which the board seem to approve of..
If it's true what Joey Barton had to say, that the board have no idea of what is going on then that shows us Gooners what importance they place on running the club for trophy success when compared to profit in their pockets.

Finally they also ran an article today tout Pep Guardiola as a potential new manager with Arsene;s blessing?? As we know he is on a yearly rolling contract, where as Arsene's runs until 2014. He has never broken a contract and he is stubborn enough to see this one out to. Don't get me wrong, at the moment Arsene is not on my Christmas card list. He needs someone to question him and his methods and that is where he should have a strong number two. Pat Rice does want to retire so maybe it is now time for a legend to return, aka Adams, Berkamp or Viera?

Anyway that's my whinge over, time for my medicine and a nap and be strong Gooners, AFC for life.
