I know that a lot of you will not like this nor necessarily agree with it but I have to call it as I see it.
I was, during the Dinamo Kiev game, very frustrated and bewildered with the amount of respect shown for an average in terms of quality opposition and the deployment of Fabregas away from where he is best suited (in the middle of the field dictating play).
The result was the same as against Sunderland today. More importantly the way the game panned out was very similar, with Fabregas wasted in no man’s land between Adebayor and the packed midfield and Arsenal getting a last gasp equaliser to salvage a draw.
For God’s sake Mr Wenger don’t you see that Arsenal’s heart is Fabregas? He is the one that that makes the team tick. He is the one that creates all the positive moves and clever passes that unlock packed defences.
Yet this creative part of Arsenal’s play is left to Denilson and Song to produce. Not that this was the intention, but hell, what do you expect when it is they that will invariably have most of the ball in a game that Arsenal, as everyone knows, will dominate in terms of possession.
The formation of 4 3 3 come 4 5 1 was wrong and the positioning of Fabregas was wrong. What was also wrong was van Persie on the wing as he had to play there because this formation demanded.
But again he is not suited to playing there nor does he hit it off with Clichy. So another Arsenal weapon, Clichy’s forays on the left hand side were not so numerous nor were they as effective.
So in the end after all three of Arsenal’s most effective players were almost rendered non existent we end up scrapping for a draw.
Arsenal are too good a team to play such a formation and show so much respect to such an opposition.

Arsenal are too dependent on Cesc Fabregas
By 1970’s Gooner
Midfield inspiration is what was clearly lacking against Fulham and midfield inspiration is what we got against Twente in the Champions League in the form of Cesc Fabregas.
The question is what will Arsenal do if and when Cesc is injured or unavailable in some other way. There is simply no one ready to replace his trickery, vision and creativity.
This is typical of Arsene Wenger’s teams that he builds. He creates a monster of a player who then goes on to dominate the way the team performs but becomes irreplaceable, at least in the short to medium term.
Prime examples of course are Patrick Vieira and Thierry Henry when they were in their prime.
If Arsenal does not win anything this season will Cesc begin to question his future at Arsenal just like Vieira and Henry did before him?
And will someone have been developed by then to be ready to take up the mantle in time so that we do not have to wait a couple of seasons before he matures enough?
I doubt it.
In the meantime enjoy the goals we scored against a very weak Twente team.

Eduardo in Nike pre-season training. Video
By Aries
We broke to you the news a long time ago that Eduardo will come back early and stronger.
We also brought to your attention the evidence for it in that “famous” video showing Eduardo in the gym kicking a ball (which you can still watch on the video bar on the right hand side page).
Now true to form we bring you Eduardo in an amazing video produced by Nike called “Summer just got shorter” showing him going through his paces in pre-season training at Arsenal.
The video is produced by Nike in their brand new “Bootcamp” series of clips.
Eduardo is shown running up a flight of steps on the terraces, running and skipping over short distances, pulling the weights in the gym and also dragging a weight which is attached to his waist.
Makes me tired watching it!

Eduardo:”Taylor never apologised to me”
By Aries
While we were breaking the news, on this side of the globe, that Eduardo was way ahead of his recovery plan and showing the amazing video of him kicking a ball, the tabloids are only now beginning to catch up!
Eduardo surprised with speed of recovery” Plus amazing video in physiotherapy kicking a ball!
In fact we reported on this site ages ago, as far back as March, that Eduardo’s come back was looking very promising and was likely to be much earlier than expected.
Eduardo starts training in June. Arsenal permit recuperation in Brazil
We also reported that Eduardo has said that Taylor did not apologise to him!
In fact Eduardo has repeated this complaint yesterday in the interview given to SporTV News which is shown on the video above.
He reiterates that Taylor never apologised to him and that he is still waiting for an apology! Maybe Taylor did visit at hospital but Eduardo was “out’.
A commenter on this site who speaks Portuguese has translated what Eduardo said on this issue:
"He said that Taylor and his club told all the press in England that he personally apologized to Eduardo and that Eduardo had forgiven him. Eduardo CLEARLY STATES THAT THIS IS A LIE. There is no doubt in what he says. He also says that Taylor could've been more human and apologize to him personally".
I think a real apology is called for, really.

Eduardo surprised with speed of recovery” Plus amazing video in physiotherapy kicking a ball!
By Aries
Eduardo has been speaking to the Brazilian press recently.
And along with his interviews given to the Croatian press a few days before, implies that he is feeling very well and confident about his progress so far.
He has now disposed himself of the crutches, is doing light running and is working with ball!
In this amazing video shot in Brazil, Eduardo looks really in fine nick.
He is walking as per normal and more importantly he is kicking a ball in specialized training exercises balancing on a kind of trampoline!
This is done during the physiotherapy sessions in Rio de Janeiro under the guidance of physiotherapist Odir de Souza, who also serves on the Brazilian team staff.
Eduardo is now feeling so confident about his recovery that he has been hinting of an earlier return to football than the time horizon that Arsenal have laid out.
“I am surprised with my recovery. Arsenal had the principle laid down for me to come back in December. I believe that may be well before” Eduardo said
Although he did not say when his return is expected this may well be in September.

Vela close to passport and Rosicky who suffered pain up the ...fitted with titanium!
By Aries
Carlos Vela is close to overcoming the most important obstacle in his quest to finally play for his club, Arsenal.
Apparently the documents supporting his application for a Spanish passport were submitted two years ago, in June 2006.
Passport regulations in Spain require a two year presence in the country and it seems that Carlos will be issued with a passport quite soon.
This will enable him to join up with his new Arsenal team mates for pre season training in early July.
Before that however he will be involved in a heavy schedule of games for Mexico which will include a series of friendlies against Argentina and Peru before facing Belize in two legged World Cup qualifier beginning on 15th June.
Pain up the ass!
Another Arsenal player is expected to return to the fold for next season! Tomas Rosicky unlike Carlos has kicked a ball for Arsenal but that was five months back in January of this year.
The good news is that his operation went quite well and according to his Czech doctor, Vladislav Hospodar who assisted in the operation he should have no more problems.
“Now it is properly fixed to restore all the functions. After the rehabilitation, the problems should be gone” he said.
According Hospodár the procedure lasted 40 minutes and confirmed his original diagnosis as a problem where the ligament adjoins to the knee. During the surgery, the ligament has been stabilised by two small titanium anchors.
"There was a release of tendons, which are also the consequences of a blood hematoma which created pain and was transmitted through the thigh muscle towards the ass(!)," said Hospodár.
I wonder whether Tomas will assume “titanic” powers now!

Levski comment on Dimitrov transfer to Arsenal
By Aries
Well we told you that if there was to be any movement on the on going saga of Dimitrov’s transfer to Arsenal we would get a sniff of it.
And yesterday in our post titled “Dimitrov’s transfer to Arsenal hit a snag” we reported that Arsenal had to get round work permit regulations if Dimitrov was to play for Arsenal before 2009.
Now Levski have issued a denial that Dimitrov is Arsenal bound rubbishing recent rumours that have been spread by some blogs and even the Epping Forest Guardian!
When contacted by The Sofia Echo (a Bulgarian newspaper) about a transfer deal involving Dimitrov and Arsenal, a spokesperson for Levski Sofia said "there is no such thing".
The Sofia Echo mentions that the rumours had started when the Arsenal-Gunz blog posted a fabricated entry on April 28 quoting local Bulgarian press about the transfer. The blog has since been taken off-line, but its Google cache is still available.
The Echo goes on to say that the blog entry was subsequently picked up by other bloggers and even appeared in the East London and West Essex Guardian series newspaper, which headlined Gunners believed to have landed talented Bulgarian winger.
Dimitrov scored Levski’s only goal yesterday in their 2-1 defeat against Chernomore.

The Jack Wilshere Show on video
By Aries
We have recently written on this site about the exciting young prospect called Jack Wilshere.
This was right after 1970’s Gooner got all excited having watched the 16 year old outclass West Ham’s (much older) reserves.
He had a hand in both goals scored. The first by cutting inside and sliding a ball on the floor right through the West ham defence for Rui Fonte to run onto and toe poke into the net via the near post.
But it was Wilshere’s goal that impressed everyone. He again picked the ball form the right hand side came infield and as the defenders backed off shot a delightful curler of a shot.
It evaded the goalkeeper’s desperately outstretched hand to glide in off the post and into the net!
No wonder Arsene Wenger had a very satisfying smile when he scored.
A lot of our readers (especially those living abroad) were asking to see this boy in action.
We have now managed to find the video of these two goals. You can watch them by clicking on the video bar which is on the right hand page.

The Jack Wilshere show. Reserves outplay West Ham as a new star is born
By 1970’s Gooner
West Ham apparently are lying second in the Reserves League but on this showing they are a team of plonkers.
Arsenal who outplayed them and outclassed them were a team full of quality throughout all positions (with about half of the players being foreign) whereas West Ham were full of hard working but mostly average (English) footballers.
But it was one English player playing for Arsenal who caught the eye. Stuart Storey commenting on the game likened him to Alexander Hleb and one can see why. He is left footed, full of trickery, the ball stuck to his feet like glue and he had that knack of gliding past his marker in an effortless way.
Yet he reminded me more of an Arsenal legend from the 1970’s, Irishman Liam Brady, the present Youth Development director. Liam was a favourite player of mine and of a lot of other Gooners of that generation.
He too was able to make the ball stick to his left boot and glided past players with ease. He was a quality player among a lot of average plonkers that were in abundance in the First Division at that time. No wonder he felt he had to ply his trade abroad (he moved to Italy’s Juventus and won two Scudettos with them).
Jack Wilshere is only 16 and most probably the youngest player on the pitch against West Ham but he certainly outshone the rest of the players. He started on the right hand side of midfield and it was from there he created the first goal.
He cut inside, passed his man and slid a ball on the floor right through the West ham defence for Rui Fonte to run onto and toe poke into the net via the near post.
But it was Wilshere’s goal that impressed everyone. He again picked the ball form the right hand side came infield and as the defenders backed off shot a delightful curler of a shot.
It almost bend near 180 degrees to evade the goalkeeper’s desperately outstretched hand to glide in off the post and into the net! No wonder Arsene Wenger had a very satisfying smile when he scored.
What was equally pleasing was that later on as Diaby was taken off with what may have been a hip problem Wilshere was moved into that central midfield role. He was just as good there too.
Despite his young age and small built he was able to actually dictate play shielding the ball well and spraying accurate passes around him and to the forwards.
He is really another exciting prospect in Liam Brady’s Academy conveyor belt.
Two other Arsenal youngsters keep impressing me every time I watch the reserves. Nacer Barazite, who is 17, plays with a lot of confidence and ease on the ball. He is very effective in that compatriot’s of his (Bergkamp) role just behind the front striker.
He is able to create space and time for himself spraying the passes that put other players in advantageous positions. He was very effective in that role.
The other youngster is another 17 year old Norwegian Havard Nordtveit. He is the one that Wenger went all the way to Norway to convince his club owner and his father to allow him to be transferred to Arsenal.
I can see why. He is a very confident and strong defender who plays with his brain.
His positioning is sound which is vital for a defender and his distribution is excellent with his long diagonal passes to either wing more often than not resulting with the Arsenal player being free of his marker and through into the opponents area.
There’s a lot of quality in the reserves coming through.

Most of the English press is racist and xenophobic with an agenda against Arsenal
Ed: This is a rant by a commenter on this site which I think expresses well the sentiments and comments of a lot fans, inclusive of those who are not necessarily from these shores. See what you think about it.
By Anonymous
The media reaction on the Eduardo story has been a farce and it is sheer jealousy that drives them.
Wenger is one of the top three managers in Europe and all English managers are shite.
Arsenal play a brand of football England couldn't even achieve on the PS3.
Wenger has knocked back the England job so many times.
Eduardo embarrassed England and knocked them out of the Euros.
Nothing but jealousy I say.
Had it been Rooney we'd never hear the end of it. With an ethos like this no wonder England's national side is the biggest joke in world football.
The way Taylor has been made the victim is just more proof that virtually every member of the British press is just a racist xenophobic idiot with an agenda. It is sad and pathetic.
No wonder England players keep getting sent off in international tournaments. I also love the way they try to make out all the red cards under AW make Arsenal a dirty side. Ha ha says the national team with John Terry as captain and Gary Neville at right-back.
Arsenal play some of the best football n Europe and have the 2nd best disciplinary record in the league over the past 5 years. FACT. But since when did facts matter to the media idiots?
Don't get angered by the media. Just kick back, relax and laugh at them as the national team exit and get humiliated in yet another penalty shoot-out.
Laugh at all the sad xenophobe fans who paint their faces and reckon they'll win every game 3-0 and end up getting embarrassed.
Laugh at a team that has won NOTHING in over 40 years. Laugh at a media that told the world it had a 'Golden generation' for the 2006 World Cup. Laugh at Steve McClaren.
And then compare and contrast with all the wonderful players Arsene Wenger has produced, the Invincibles, the two doubles, the FA Cups, the Champions league final, the players nominated for World and European player awards.
And also laugh at the Spuds not winning a league title in over 47 years!
It's good to be a Gooner. It’s miserable to be a jealous bitter England fan.
This country loves underdog losers like Taylor and Birmingham. There is a general mistrust of winners, which is why Gallas gets so much stick for showing how much he cares but, when Terry pisses in a nightclub or fights with his manager it is 'PASSION'.
Ha ha ha.
The more bile they spew the more I love it. It just shows how desperate they are. Imagine that. The fate of a country of 50 million people apparently, lies within the hands of one Frenchman. Can you believe that?
I love the way Arsene is single-handedly responsible for the demise of Engish football. Question: who was to blame for the 30 years before that?!
Here's another poser...Do you reckon that if Arsenal were as rubbish as say...Birmingham or Derby or if they were mid-table like the Spuds and not won a thing of note in 10 years. Do you reckon the media would be so obsessed with Wenger and Arsenal and trying to slam them at every chance?
So why the obsession with Arsene's Arsenal then? Why not pick on Allardyce who bought foreigners all the time at Bolton and Newcastle?
Or why not rant at McTwat at Birmingham for signing McFadden and playing with a team of mostly foreigners?
Why not have a go at Ferguson for not developing any English players at all (in the last 10 years) and only spending stupid cash (that not everyone can afford) on Rooney, Rio and Hargreaves?
In Fergie's case it is because the media are pussies and don't want to upset all the glory-hunting Mancs around the world. In the case of everyone else? Because they are shit.
And it is a compliment to Wenger this poisonous jealous envy. His team play sumptuous football and only serves to highlight the gulf in class between foreign players and English ones. How they must hate it...
And why do people keep going on about that Gallas kick at Nani? Is Nani and ManYoo such a bunch of big pussies that they think that was horrible? Does anybody remember Roy Keane? Right then.
That gallas 'kick' wouldn’t have knocked out a 7 year-old. Although that poor little Nani must have a graze somewhere I am sure...
And finally, funny how this FA Cup win for ManYoo seems to make them so excited. Did Arsenal care? Nope. Are Arsenal 3 points clear of ManYoo despite Mancs spending £50 million more on players?
LOL
For Eduardo read Rooney but don’t read the Daily Mail or listen to the BBC
