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!!!

RRREEEDDD AAARRRMMMYYY!!!

I WOULD LOVE ANOTHER BIG EUROPEAN NIGHT FROM THE BOYS!

It's nights like these that make football what it is! The nerves, the anticipation, the belief, the dreams of victory, and more importantly, the boys in red and white coming away with a result!

We've seen them do it before! Inter Milan 5-1 (in the group stage), Real Madrid, Juventus and Villareal (all in one season) and AC Milan 2-0. It's not like we haven't got it in our locker so I'm hoping I can add another Spanish giant to that list.

We've also been on the end of those sort of nights that we ourselves have dished out before. Man Utd last year in the semi finals and Liverpool in the quarters after the AC Milan result. However, win or lose, these European nights make football. It makes the Champions League, it makes us who we are as fans and it makes the players who they are when they put on that Arsenal shirt.

I'm not going to predict anything tonight, because I can't! I don't know what's going to happen and to be honest I don't think anyone does. We're capable of knocking out Barcelona because we do have the experience and I truly believe that, however we are also capable of another Man Utd in the home leg of THAT semi final! So I really don't know what to predict. My first thought is defeat as I feel they will be too strong for us, but don't you dare think that will stay in my mind for one second when the whistle blows and the game starts.

I do believe in my boys, and unfortunately I will not be attending the Twelve Pins to show my support, but I will be at home with Sky Sports, my white Arsenal shirt and my fists clenched praying that we can have a posotive impact on the game. It's going to be another classic I think.

Enjoy it if you're there, help the boys by trying to drown out the 95,000 Catalans and just believe in them. I'm sure if we can all think positively from NOW till 10:00pm tonight there's a slight chance the footballing Gods can help us. If you're not there, and you're in an Arsenal pub, make as much f*cking noise as you can! If you're at home with your parents or at your mate's house, make as much f*cking noise as you can! And if you're an Arsenal fan, just think positive. We have nothing to lose. No one is betting on us winning. No one is expecting anything from the boys in red and white so just stay positive.

Injuries have played their part on our season so far and we've not done bad at all considering, and I'm more than happy enough with whatever Wenger will go with (although I can't say that for the first leg). Will Walcott start? Will Campbell start? We will find out!

I just cannot wait! CUMMON YOU GUNNERS!!!

RRREEEDDD AAARRRMMMYYY!!!

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!!!

RRREEEDDD AAARRRMMMYYY!!!

BARCELONA GAME WAS BRILLIANT! NOW WOLVES!

Wednesday night showed me something I've never seen before! Today, I want to see something that I always used to see!

So here we are, my first blog. I've never really been a writer in this sense so please forgive me if you spot thousands of mistakes and bad grammar. I was always pretty good at English at school, primary and secondary, so it shouldn't be too bad.

Anyway! As I say, Wednesday night showed me something that I've never seen before, as an Arsenal supporter. Barcelona played against us how we play against most other teams. Although it was brilliant to watch for a neutral, or even as a football fan as well as an Arsenal fan, like me, it was still frustrating to see Arsenal deal with it poorly.

Almunia kept us in the game after what can only be described as a complete battering for the first twenty minutes or so. And also some last minute interceptions and headers out for corners. But because I've never seen Arsenal pegged back like that before I didn't know how to react. I was watching the game at home with my Dad as I couldn't get a ticket for love nor money, so no matter how much I shouted for my team to go for it, no one could react to it so it didn't make a difference. Still though, keeping me quiet whilst watching Arsenal is as hard as keeping Ca$hley C*nt's and Cheater FC captain Terry's dicks in their pants at a Girls Aloud concert.

Thankfully Theo came on, changed the game for us and Fabregas showed us that he really does love us and even possibly risked his World Cup to give us as good a chance as possible of getting something from the Nou Camp that could send us through. I love Cesc. The passion, the fact he is Spanish (I am half Spaniard), the pure class, the pure quality, the celebrations of his wonder goals, his 19 goals this season and his leadership. Cesc, you will be missed, but I don't doubt that we can do the double for you. Cesc is now, unfortunately, another soldier added to the list of players that we will have to win the double for.

2-2 isn't the worst result we Gooner faithful were given on Wednesday considering how the game started and how our squad are dropping like flies. Plus the fact Barcelona are the best team in the world by a long shot and are exactly the kind of team Wenger wants his Arsenal to be like. But we have to be positive. I'm sure the squad are.

And this now leads on to my next point. Barcelona pinning us back and not even giving us a single second to even breath or think was something I had never seen before. But what I have seen before, many a time, is Arsenal absolutely battering teams and giving weaker opposition this 'Barcelona treatment'. So this brings me on to Wolves. They have put together a good three or four game run but we have got to stop that today. We're not on a bad run ourselves and now I want to see us batter Wolves. I want a healthier goal difference considering ours isn't as good as this new free scoring Chelsea and Grandad Man Utd. I want to see Bendtner get a couple of goals as he hasn't scored since Hull and I would like to see a better performance from Diaby because we all know he has it in his locker. Walcott hat-trick, Eboue double and Vermaelen from a corner. Not that I am underestimating Wolves in any way at all because I know they work hard. I just know that if Arsenal can concentrate on their game then they can do anything, even come back against the best team in the world.

I'm not going to the game today, which is a shame, but I will be listening to it on the Arsenal TV Online website and I expect Arsenal to be confident going in to the game. They have to be. Wolves is now the biggest game of the season right now. Chelsea are 1-0 ahead at Old Trafford and it's half time, girly Joe Cole scored and Man Utd are shocking without Shrek at the moment. Let's hope Terry scores a last minute own goal and Arsenal win today to give themselves a boost for their title hopes.

I hope that those of you who are going to the game today go absolutely mad. Give them your best support and I hope our mighty boys in red and white give us all something entertaining to watch. I'm not expecting Barcelona standard football... I'm expecting BETTER... ARSENAL STANDARD FOOTBALL!!!
