Fabregas – Is he staying or is he going?

If you ask me, I’d say keep him, not just for this season, but until his contract runs out. Seriously! Let him rot on the bench (ok, maybe ‘rot’ is too strong a word, let’s use ‘look beautiful’). Not to spite him, but just to fuck Barcelona over. Cesc can save his well earned pennies and buy out his own contract if he wants, I just don’t want Barca getting their own way. AGAIN! And yes, if you can’t already tell, I am the sort of person that would cut my nose to spite my face. No nonsense mate, regardless of the consequences.

Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely adore Cesc, I love him! I got his autograph after he won the FA Cup in 2005 and my love for him has grown every day and every season since. His passion fills me with so much confidence that he really does love us and the way he acts is so mature considering he is just under a year older than me! The fact that he’s Spanish, as well, makes me love him even more. Plus just watching him play football is almost as good as... erm... well, it’s better than anything!!! I just hate Barca and I don’t want them getting their way just because they think they can get away with it.

We all know the move is inevitable, and if you don’t, you’re in denial. However, I just want him to give us one, possibly two more seasons, to help us lift a trophy. Because let’s all be honest, we’re better off with him in our team pulling the strings than warming the Barca bench as he does with Spain. And I genuinely believe that he is absolutely desperate to win something with us. I reckon he will probably leave the second we win a major trophy. It’s probably a personal goal of his to end his Arsenal career with a great squad that dominate the Premiership, the Champions League or equal Man Utd’s record of 11 FA Cups.

I personally believe that we’re not that far away from a trophy winning squad, whether it’s the Premiership or Champions League I’m not sure, but I’m confident we’re not that far away from winning something. We’ve already proved that if our squad was larger last season we could’ve possibly coped with the injuries we had. We were in the title race for a lot longer than people believed we could be and we had so many important people missing in big games that I thought we did well considering.

Fabregas is probably at legendary status with Arsenal, if not officially, then in my opinion it’s a definite. And I know that word gets thrown around too often in football but not with me.

With England out of the World Cup I have Spain to follow. And although Fabregas is not being used they’re still doing the business and I think the same will happen if he went to Barcelona. He is a similar sort of player to Xavi so when he becomes too old then that’s when Febregas will probably go! But until then, I hope he stays and helps us achieve things that I haven’t seen Arsenal achieve for a while, TROPHIES!!!

I'M NOT GOING TO MENTION HIS NAME!

You have all heard his name a million times and I don't want to read or hear it anymore so hopefully I can stick to not mentioning his name tonight. There are hundreds of reports on the net about the game anyway and I'm over 24 hours late so this is going to be a nothing post.

I'm not all that gutted about the result last night. I went absolutely potty when Bendtner scored, don't get me wrong, and the first thing I said to my Dad was, "wow, I bet the Twelve Pins is rocking!" Well, it would have only been rocking for 2, maybe 3, minutes. As soon as it went to 1-1 I still had a little hope that we could do it, but 2-1, then 3-1 down and I thought that was it.

I'm never one to give up so I still believed we could do it as long as we kept it at 3-1 and possibly knicked a couple in the dying minutes. But realistically, it was over. We all know about the statistics running around that we score a lot in the last 10 minutes, so there was some support in my thinking. Until you know who done you know what, again.

And just to clear things up, I'm not bitter about the defeat. We weren't at our best and you know who capitalised on that. We were out classed by such a brilliant team, the best in the world. I did actually hear on Talk Sport today that if the brilliant little shit wasn't playing we would have won 1-0, personally, I think that's bullshit. It wouldn't have been 4-1, maybe, but we would definitely have lost somehow as we just weren't at our best and they are the reigning champions, and most probably will be the first team to retain the European Cup in its Champions League format. We all know someone else would have come up with a performance of world class standard as they have it in abundance.

Never mind. It's not that hard when you lose to such an amazing team. We just now have to pick ourselves up and go for the Premiership. Chelsea lost a destraction when Inter knocked them out (although they're still in the FA Cup) so that may explain their recent run of 3 wins and 14 goals, Man Utd are now out of the Champions League to those cheating Germans (according the the big red nosed, chewing gum, twat) so they're now going to focus fully on the title so the next game against the scum is now our next target. I am definitely not predicting or even writing before that game. So 5 cup finals left in the season and if we win them all then surely we're in for a shout for the Premiership.

No Carling Cup again, no FA Cup again, no Champions League again but thankfully we're not out of the title race. In a way it's good that Wenger believed we had the squad to challenge for the Champions League and Premiership double, for the players' confidence, but now looking back, don't you just wish we went for a draw or win at Stoke and taken our chances in the FA Cup as well? There's never any guaranteed silverwear but now I just wish we went for the FA Cup. Ahh well, it's easy for me to say that as there's no pressure on me as I'm not the Arsenal manager. Ignore me anyway, I'm just in a crappy football mood, although I'm glad I saw Robben (the dickhead that walks like he has shit himself) bang in a Zidane-like goal against Man Utd (you know, the one against Bayer Leverkusen in the 2002 final?).

So on we must fight for our fourth Premiership crown. Let's hope they're not down in the dumps because they have got to be on it for their next encounter. Cheer up boys, we've got 4 or 5 first team stars that we need to win the title for now!!!

BBEENNDDTTNNEERR!!

Well aren't I just that big, fat, ugly Pokemon known as JYNX! Or Gynx! Or however you spell it!

There's a reason I never bet on Arsenal, or predict their scores seriously, or even talk about them winning. It's not because I'm negative or I don't know my football, I am just a jinx.

I would always rather bet on Arsenal losing so if they do lose I win money and if they win it ends up being money well spent.

My first ever blog wasn't too bad, could've been better, but then again I'm always harsh on myself so I'm never going to write something that I'm truly happy with. I said that I wanted to absolutely smash Wolves, gain confidence before Barcelona, improve our not so good goal difference and you know, watch the Arsenal of old that battered teams. That didn't happen which is frustrating but I know that at this point in the season, points are more important, so the three points that we Nick'ed right at the end of today's game matter more to me than the actual performance.

I listened to the first half on Arsenal TV Online, then fell asleep at half time, woke up to the Soccer Saturday panel laughing at the Sunderland v Spurs match then realised I had missed quite a bit of the second half. Shit! I waited for the scores to come up and Arsenal 0-0 Wolves appeared. Shit! Again! "Ahh well we'll knick the points right at the end," I thought to myself. And luckily that came true.

Sagna crossed from the right and Nicklas Bendtner nodded it past Hahnemann with 93 or 94 minutes on the clock (it wasn't a great video). I heard that fat nosed Scouse twat shout "GOOOAL!" and initally thought that Wolves had knicked it, but when I saw that it was Arsenal, I didn't react, I didn't even shout, I just sank back into my pillow and calmly thought, "the title is back on!" That's the calmest I've ever been while hearing Arsenal score, at least compared to how mad I went when I heard Nasri score against Birmingham last week.

Anyway, Bendtner scored, Walcott played well or poor depending on whether you're with him or against him and that Tommo (fat nosed Scouse twat) said that before this game Walcott would've been a shoe-in for the first team in the Nou Camp, but now, not so much. But I'll watch higlights tonight and see what I think. To be honest, I don't care, I'd still start him, I love him, I love all the Arsenal players, no matter how shit they're perceived to be, because they wear the shirt that I so dearly love!

Chelsea won convincingly at Old Trafford and are 3 points ahead of us with Man Utd only 1 point ahead of us. I would have preferred a last minute John Terry own goal for it to have become 2-2 but hey, you can't always get what you want. And in my case, you never f*ckin' do!

Arsenal have won against Wolves and now have to prepare for Barca round 2. Let's do 'em! And before you start worrying, no, I'm not predicting anything. I am now just going to comment on stuff that's already happened. And before games I'll only say stuff like, "let's hope Arsenal win!" You will be seeing a lot more hopes as apposed to any other words as I don't want to jinx anything.

So let's stay positive and keep taking each game, game by game.

TWELVE PINS ON TUESDAY NIGHT!!! CAN'T WAIT!!!
