Another typical Arsenal hater....i bet your friend predicted a lose against Chelsea before last night's match.

Arsenal will always remain the most hated club by the British press mostly because they lack the Lampards, Rooneys, Gerrards, Terry's etc in their team. They have always been criticized whether they win or not. Outside the UK they are admired for their style of play by everyone and thats a fact (with or without trophies). For as long as i can remember the English press have always predicted Arsenal's exit from the "top four" but it has never happened.

Look at Arsenal's rivals at the top right now, they've all been purchased by greedy owners who have invested heavily on expensive players in pursuit of trophies but at what expense??? How are they performing financially?? L'pool, Chelsea & Man Utd all suffering financially (Now I've heard Man utd are about to get some Oil money). The thing is nowadays even with the money the top players in the world prefer playing in other European leagues apart from EPL. If they do sign for English clubs its always about money but they end up not performing on the pitch

The problem with English football is that they focus more on physical ability and athleticism, there's nothing much on individual skill, inventiveness, mental ability on the pitch or movement of the ball etc. That's why i don't see them winning the World Cup anytime soon let alone hosting it. When is the last time an English player was voted as FIFA Player of the year anyway????

Wenger has always been criticized for trying to emulate Barca with his young players but the same people forget that he has done it before went a whole season unbeaten and won several trophies. He has always believed in "total football" which gives most fans something to smile about even in defeat, that's why all the top clubs would be after him if he decides to leave Arsenal. It's for these reasons and many that i will always be an ARSENAL FAN whether we are on top at the bottom or relegated.

@Willin2learn.......................Birmingham Vs Man U game is tonight at 11pm NOT tomorrow as you allude.

Viva United!!!

Shitty running riot against Villa, they sit top of the table after a long time albeit for a few hours before united resume their rightful position!!!

You forgot to mention that they will be ahead of aseno much longer.

@McReggae

This has a lot to do with SAF in the way he buys established players the likes of Berbatov, Veron, Rooney et al.The only real deal he has done in the transfer market was CR7 where he made a tidy bargain. The price money and the owners financial decisions have not helped the situation.
His behavior is akin to a mboch buying 2kg of meat when u r running low on budget when a kaquarter would have been sufficient, so he cannot be exonerated.

Mr. Bean on the other hand has always made profits in the transfer market and the best deal so far was that of Anelka who was bought for half a milli and sold for ...........wacha tu.

Reading this thread one can be mistaken for thinking Arsenal are where they are by luck.It doesnt take an average team to qualify for the CL, ask Spurs when they made it.Everyone had written off Gunners since last season but aliye juu .......

Meanwhile, Chelshit are now fifth on the log......Real pressure is on Ancelloti now.

My worry is that the matches are coming thick and fast. With Birmingham's game against Everton last sunday being postponed, expect a very fresh Birmingham side.However,like a true Man U fan, this is no excuse. Excuses tumeachia watu wa asenali.

The club has two historical cases of rescued bankruptcies.Until the glazers family took up the club with their high leverages and not being helped by SAF buying habits akin to a mboch mentioned earlier.I think until the debt is cleared by 2017 which I believe will have to be extended SAF will continue buying the 2kgs of meat for his employers and ask for more to please his masters and fans of course.

As of watching football I started watching when matches were brought much later as highlights when Emilio Butragueno and Hugo Sanchez among others were plying their trade and have their pictures pasted on a book when we used to stick them with unga ya ngano and have several collections of the crafts.Not to mention that I equally played soccer past my high school level.
Rooney hata akiwa Everton tumemwona hata kabla kipara imee.

Berbatop fires United to the lead.....
