Arsenology + Bolton Preview

Top of the morning to y’all

If you have been an Arsenal fan as short as I have been-12 years is still pretty short- you will agree that the manager is a person who is so complicated, that studying him a course in a university might be as normal as studying Engineering, or Accounting or Economics or whatever. What? People study Confucianism in Unilag and Confucius is just one man and his philosophies. So why can’t we study Arsene and his philosophies.

 At least he has them unlike some other fat twitchy albinos that don’t have the common sense to pay their tax to the government or some other or some other bumbling ones that don’t have the mental capacity to control the 25 different egos of his 25 different players or some other ones that look like sun burnt testicles trying to goad the FA into ‘investigating Van Persie’ when just in December when one of his players was sent off for nearly breaking  Vermaelen’s leg, he claimed the player allowed himself to be ‘decieved’ into the challenge’. Kpsheew

So we have know that Arsene has philosophies and like Confucius, his philosophies should be studied and that will make us Arsenists. Ok.

Like I said earlier, Wenger is complicated and at the close of the transfer deadline yesterday the only other signing he had after loaning Henry was Thomas Eisfeld from Dortmund (obviously the second loss to united did not have the same effect on him as the first one). If Arsene goes to Dortmund and thinks that he needs a 19year old, Mario Gotze was there and if he needed to sign an Asian to boost the clubs commercial popularity in that continent, Shinji Kagawa was there. Either player would add a significant boost to the current squad this season. But no he chose to sign Eisfeld from their under 19’s team and apparently not good enough for the Dortmund first team squad. Don’t say I told you so but am not surprised at the move as its typical Wenger.

At the start of the New Year when we had Vermealen, who was covering for our regular left backs got injured; Arsene said it would be STUPID to loose points because we don’t have a left back in the squad. Arsenal has played three league games since then and well you all know the results so is Arsene stupid? E too big for my mouth so I no go talk am. One of the things I have learned from Arsene is never to believe everything he says, for example, during the summer he claimed over and again that Na$ri was commited to and loves the club and was certain he would sign a new deal, the stupid idiot would later sign for Man Shitty and go on to claim that the atmosphere at the Emirates was not good for footy and the fans were not loud enough. What an insult?

Arsene’s transfer policy while many would claim to know he would sign young players and all that shit, he has actually signed a number of almost 30 or over 30 in recent years. Squillazy, Silvestre, Gallas, Mertasacker, Arteta, Henry etc. This is the same Arsene that would not renew the contracts of his players that were closing in on thirty even though they were proven and consistent performers. Viera, Pires, Wiltord, Henry, etc. These players would go on to finish their careers at other clubs. A change in philosophy? Those are things to be studying in your Arsenology classes.

His loyalty is also worth studying. Being loyal and trusting of players such as Denilson, Vela, Na$ri, Diaby, Gibbs, Flamini have sort of turned round to haunt him. These players either spend more time are busy being injured than playing football or are just plain not Arsenal quality or they shine for one season and they say they are leaving only to give the flimsiest of excuses for leaving. Hleb said he was going because he did not like London life, Flamini because of 5000 pounds and Na$ri, that one was just plain greedy and unloyal.

As much as the fans love Arsene and appreciate him, the whole club seems to be one big project for him and he is determined to get the rewards of his project. Arsene love the club no doubt and the club loves him but he has to realise that we are in a world where to get the best players you just have to pay and well Arsene just dosent pay. His highest signing on record is 15.5 million pounds for Arshavin but we need the best players in the market.  

I am an Arsenist, I know the man to some extent. But if you go to the university to study Arsenology, na u know where you go take your degree work o.

We play Bolton tonight on the back of last weekend’s comeback win over Villa and I really hope we can continue that trend. We desperately need points in the league and as Chelski have dropped points last night, we need to capitalise on that and at least gain 2 points on them. Bolton have been on a resurgence of late and I hope Owen Coyle will appreciate Arsene’s goodwill by loaning him Ryo Miyachi and tell his boys to roll over and let us win. I wish.

The return of Arteta and Sagna would be a major boost and Henry will give us attacking options from the bench coupled with the fact that Gibbs completed his first full training yesterday, the good times seem to be on the horizon. So without any further injuries, I expect the starting line up to be Szczesny; Sagna, Mertasacker, Koscielny, Vermaelen; Arteta, Song, Ramsey; Walcott,Van Persie, Chamberlain.

So there you have it folks good luck for tonight anywhere you are watching the game

God bless the Arsenal. Iree o.
