Ducky's Note: For all of you who might have been intrigued by the title of this post, yes,
that's exactly what this Guest Post will be about. The poster however wishes to remain anonymous,
and hence shall only be known as the Mystery Maiden. Of course, that is also to prevent the Arsenal
loyalists who are bound to get incensed by what follows below from pouring out vitriol on
her.
Like most soccer fans, I am a soccer league polygamist. Because I live less than 20 minutes
from an MLS club, I root for and follow Major League Soccer in the U.S. However, I am also a
passionate Arsenal fan who lives and dies in every match they play throughout the year. And of
course, I love Serie A best of all and have my favorite club, whose scarf I wore proudly this past
Sunday.
Thinking about the foundation of law in the United Kingdom, and all of Europe for that matter,
that a person is innocent until proven guilty, made me wonder how, as an Arsenal fan, my immediate
reaction to Jack Wilshere's arrest differed to that of the Pakistani cricketing trio (three
Pakistani cricket players were this week arrested on charges of spot fixing).
The international break is always very boring for REAL football fans, so I may as well tell you
about another question I have received from Joshua in Nigeria. You may remember that he was the
Gooner that asked "How do you define a real Arsenal fan?" which generated a hatful of interesting
responses. Well Joshua happily [.
Having witnessed the destruction of Blackpool who stuck to their manager's laudable commitment
to open, attacking football, will Owen Coyle reconsider his tactics? Would you? Coyle had the
difficult task of developing a team who had been managed by two of the men most responsible for the
development of anti-football; Fat Sam and Gary Megson.

Whilst Akhil is based in London & makes it to all the games; Sri does the same from Coimbatore,
here in India! Whilst the former is second-to-none when it comes to exclusive insights from the
Emirates; our guy from down-south, is as astute an analyst as they come.
I heard an important point raised on the Arsenal Fan Forum show last Friday night.
Gael Clichy has not got the technical ability to do anything worthwhile with the ball in the
final third of the pitch, he is wonderful at getting into the correct areas when we are on the
front foot, but due to his inability to reach his own man with the ball.
Arsenal seems to be the center of attention in the EPL courtesy to Wenger who has been charged
by the FA for patting the referee on the back after Sunderland's late goal. Honestly, it makes me
proud. It's only pocket change for him and as an Arsenal fan, it shows that Wenger is willing to
fight for his employers whenever and wherever not matter what the situation is.

Stop me if you think that you've heard this one before. Barcelona defender Gerard
Pique has claimed that Fernando Torres is 'embarrassed' at having to play
for Liverpool, and that a move to the Camp Nou would ease the striker's worried mind.
