Oh wow I can’t wait! I’m so f*ckin’ excited! I know we’re probably going to get smashed but I can’t wait to watch our boys! I’ve missed this feeling since watching Spain with my Dad in the World Cup! Even watching the Scum and the big spenders was kind of exciting. Even though, although it’s only the first game, they both showed me that we’ve got nothing to be scared about!
This is my first post of the season so forgive me if it’s crap and a bit rusty.
Arsenal take on Liverpool today and I am so looking forward to it that there’s about 2 hours left till kick off and I haven’t got a clue what to do! I’ve played my PS3, I’ve watched Goals On Sunday and now I’m just checking out Arsenal news. There’s nothing left for me to do but write on this blog and try and get it up and running again.
I’m pretty sure I know what most of the team’s going to be today but I’d rather not say anything about it because as you’ll discover, I am an absolute jinx. There’s a lot of talk about who’s going to be the number one and to be honest, we know it won’t be Szczesny as he is just too young at the moment so I think it’ll be a toss up between Almunia and Fabianski. I think it’s going to be Almunia, personally, but we’ll see. That’s it for team news and predictions for me. Although I am curious to see how Wenger will play it with regards to the midfield because at the moment I’m not actually 100% as to who’s fully fit at the moment and who’s raring to go. I thought Frimpong did well against Celtic when I went to the Emirates Cup with my girlfriend, but this is a whole different ball game. Well, it’s still football, but that was an expression, it’s a complete Step Up… 3D… Sorry!!!
Liverpool are going to be in our faces today as I watched a bit of their 2nd leg qualifier against Sonic’s arch nemesis and they didn’t give the opposition any opportunity to play. That’s how Hodgson always did it with Fulham against us and off the top of my head I think we only beat his Fulham side a couple of times. Gerard also said that they can’t let us play, on TalkSport, which is true because we can destroy anyone on our day so with all this in mind we have just got to be on it!!! We have to be quick, we have to be precise and we all know we can’t let Gerard play, or Torres, if he starts or comes on late in the game.
And just before I go (I told you this blog was shit, don’t say I didn’t warn you) I want to add my two pence (I think that’s the expression) on Wenger’s new contract because I've seen quite a few negative articles flying arouns News Now. I think it’s fantastic. I think it’s f*ckin’ brilliant that he wants to see how this team gets on. For me it almost proves that he really does think this team are so close to something amazing. He could have just said bollocks to any new contracts and left us with a team that no other manager would probably be able to deal with, but no, he’s staying until 2014 and I’m happy with that. All my mates that support the Scum are annoyed that he’s signed on as them pricks down the road seem to think that when Wenger goes, they can finally take our name of the best team in London (f*ck Chelsea) but it looks like they are going to be waiting a long, long time for that to happen!
I’m glad he is staying on and I am glad that Fabregas will be with us for at least one more season and I am glad that we’re as stable as we are under Wenger’s wing. Arsenal can win nothing for 6 more years for all I care. I’m still going to be a Gooner and proud!Best of luck to the boys today. Let’s hope they kick start our season the same way they did in Merseyside last season!
RRREEEDDD AAARRRMMMYYY!!!
