I must confess that the defeat on Sunday hurt me so much so that I didn’t watch past the second goal. Anyone who’ve read the blog knows I am an eternal optimist when it comes to Arsenal, however switching off the Tv was not about us not being able to mount a comeback, but watching the game made me physically sick.

After a dearth of posting Wengerball is back and on a regular schedule. Props for Senderos and preview of the upcoming fixture.

Strength in depth is just an argument used by pundits who find it hard to admit that Arsenal can win this league, and that won’t change until we’ve actually won.

A quick look at some of the things that stood out for me in yesterday’s Fa Cup 3rd round clash with West Ham. We came out on top with two goals in 5 minutes to set up a meeting with Stoke in the 4th round, but we were made to work hard for the victory.

3–0 to the Arsenal 4 points off the top with a game in hand what a way to end the Christmas weekend.

Is it unreasonable for Arsenal to claim that injuries have been the bane of their current campaign? Some commentators have castigated Wenger for not having the foresight to predict the spate of injuries the gunners have suffered as he knows that these players are injury prone and not having adequate backup is tantamount to negligence.

There are so called bogey teams, those that always seem to get a result against us, looking at the results of the past 12 clashes Chelsea is surely that team. More than just a bogey team, in Didier Drogba we surely have a bogey player.

Anyone who claims they’ve never cheated in football is a liar, anyone who says that the would tell the referee is a liar, and anyone who takes this for more than an unfortunate incident is a hypocrite. If it was an Irish play who did this I doubt there would be much if any recrimination heading his way.
