Weekend Footy 22nd-24th November *Spoilers*

Villa look like a decent side!

Anyway back to Arsenal - Those that said Wenger have lost it I think have lost it!!

Still think he's a great manager, like everyone he gets it wrong sometimes. We might not be doing well in the PL but I think we'll do well in the Champs League. We've got a shed load of injuries at the moment and can't wait for Eduardo to come back - he looked mint before his injury - just hope he's the same player.

Also at those whinging about letting Certain players go I think this is where Wenger's been his most astute.

1. Everyone knew Freedie's knees were shot when he was sold
2. Viera was simply past his best when he left
3. Gilberto was useless on every occaision I saw him play
4. Henry was becoming a bit of a premadonna in my view and for his age we got a decent Sum for him.
5. Hleb although hugely skillful was frightened to shoot and far too lightweight for many games.

Personally I don't tend to hear much about any so called big player that has ever left Arsenal.

My only regret is we didn't keep Flamini.

We're just going through an odd time - obviously dirty laundry coming out in the press doesn't help confidence and the sooner Gallas goes the better,but we have a decent side,decent manager we don't simply become crap overnight! We'll be back :)
 
Its worth pointing out that, I said very specifically that the side was poor from game one this season, that Denilson was woeful and simply wasn't quite being shown up because we're playing poor opposition the first game against real opposition he will be woeful. He has been, against sides in the top half we were soundly beaten, infact easily beaten by 3 of them, and were fairly lucky to win against Man U and a target missing Rooney and Ronaldo. Against the bottom half we won a lot of games, but lost some and drew against pretty poor opposition.

The fact is we did have a easy start to the season and as our schedual now has a lot more top half games for us than any other team, its starting to show. Almost universally Denilson was thought to be terrible beyond belief today. Defensively that is what he's been all year, we just haven't been up against really any normal top half teams till now, at which point the team fell apart. This isn't sudden, or remotely surprising, we've been playing exactly the same ALL year, the difference, better opposition is ripping us to shreds, thats the only difference so far.

Couldn't be more clear to anyone on earth that Denilson in midfield is killing us, aswell as playing multiple other players out of position. Theo is a damn striker, he's useless on the wing, he doesn't create many goals, his best games has been when he's scoring, not when he's creating, should tell you something. Bendtner and RVP shouldn't play together upfront, they are both "bergkamp" types , they need theo/eduardo/Vela infront of them.

Ramsey and Wilshire should be being played, they are much better than Theo/Denilson/Song/Hoyte/Diaby.

We can't win anything with a record of 3 loses in 4 against the top half of the table, and certainly not with our record against the bottom half of the table. 3/4 losses to the top half of the table is midtable at best, maybe not even top half of the table, we've still yet to play Chelsea/Pool who are both playing better than all the rest, by a margin. We're 10points off the lead, almost a 1/3 down and we've still got a massively skewed view because we've played almost the entire bottom half of the table and very few top half. If we continue to lose to them we'll be lucky to be top 8.
