Adebayor and Arsenal Off SONG!

By M. B. Zaidi

Sorry for late news, I was asked to write something on the 1-1 draw with Portsmouth but I wasn’t here! Anyway, didn’t get to see it on the night, but asked a friend to tape the game so I could watch it after and the Adebayor sitters. Now don’t get me wrong, I think he is a good talent and can be a good player for us one day, but he did miss some despicable chances. And I don’t blame people to start ranting and raving about all this “he’s not good enough”…but I wouldn’t listen to that one bit. He has still scored 4 goals in 10 games I believe, and before the Manure game, it was 4 in 8, which is fantastic for a foreign player who is only 21 just coming into a brand new, rapid and unique style team. He has done brilliantly so far, apart from this game. So, yes, he did miss chances, but don’t get on his back because Henry took 14 games or so to score his first goal, let alone 4 in 8, or 4 in 10!

THE MAIN THING IS…THAT HE ACTUALLY GOT IN THOSE POSITIONS TO MISS THE CHANCES! NOBODY ELSE BOTHERS TO DO THAT NOWADAYS! FREDDIE USED TO, BUT NOW HE HASN’T SCORED A GOAL ALL SEASON IN THE LEAGUE…SO DON’T WORRY, HAVE NO FEAT….ADE WONT BE AN ADE-AKIN-BAYOR…HE HAS SHOWN THAT HIS MOVEMENT IS BRILLIANT AND GETS IN THOSE POSITIONS NOBODY ELSE DOES!

Arsene continues to baffle me with his decisions, but the leaving out of Henry and Reyes for the Manure game would have been justified if we had taken all 3 points against Portsmouth. BUT NO! 7 changes, Alex Song in midfield? But yet Walcott hasn’t even made a one appearance even as a sub? No excuse of “we have important games so we cant risk it”, Song was literally OFF SONG, he made no impact at all and didn’t justify his selection. Diaby showed us that Wenger still knows how to pick out a star for the future, im still amazed at his “Vieira-ness”…

We NEEDED to win that match and now it means it isn’t in our hands. But no panic, we still have to play Spurs, and they need to play Manure! We still have Forlan and Riquelme to look forward to on Tuesday! And possibly a final against Barca or Milan. I just came back from Milan, and bought the Milan home jersey as a souvenir with my name on the back and Kaka’s number 22. Just realised now that they might be playing us in the final! GOD HELP ME….

Saw the San Siro and don’t worry, us Londoners went and REPPED ARSENAL to the fullest in the San Siro. The Italians in the shop were quite flabbergasted when we were singing Arsenal anthems on their premises, but O WELL it has to be done!

ANYWAY…last comment of the day, hope that we can beat West Brom with a good team and a good performance, hopefully by a few goals…so that the confidence is as high as possible for the Champs game…crucial two game for the future of Arsenal FC. Because we have no excuse of saying that we have a lot of youngsters that is why we will come 5th, THE SCUM have a hell of a lot of youngsters aswel, and they don’t have the best striker in the world on their line up! WE DO! No excuses, lets just get on with it, get off Ade’s back, get behind the team…and believe in the team that has overturned two MAJOR UPSETS of two of the biggest and successful teams in the world. Madrid and Juve didn’t expect us to beat them over 4 legs like we did, but Villareal are the underdogs now, lets not underestimate them either!
