Benjamin Franklin once said that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and
over and expecting different results. With this definition in mind events at the Emirates stadium
on Sunday could lead some Arsenal supporters to question the mental health of their manager.
Sunday 28th August 2011 will be a date forever etched on the minds of Arsenal and Manchester
United supporters alike, remembered with very differing degrees of fondness.
What a rough week I have had. My week was similar to Arsenals current form, depressing. Well
screw all that, we still had a great week of football. So let me give you a slightly over the top
review of the week that wasn't:
Arsenal
It was another dramatic week for the Gunners.
Adam Kemp – Tactically inept Arsenals pursuit of silverware ends typically with a gutless
display. Arsenal's humiliating FA Cup defeat to Sunderland depicts all the aspects surrounding
their lack mental resilience, confidence and overall quality. I was quick to criticize Arsenal
after another embarrassing defeat in Milan and still there were Wenger supporters refusing to [.
Arsene Wenger knows that Arsenal have a very tall order to come back from four goals down against
AC Milan on Tuesday, but after beating two top-quality teams like Tottenham and Liverpool he is
feelink much more confident that the Gunners can make up the difference. Yesterday he was reminded
that of Arsenals previous 19 [.
The defeat against Arsenal over the weekend means that the Reds are now
ten points behind Arsenal in the race for the final Champions League qualification spot, but we
still do have a game in hand. Just by looking at the remaining fixtures to be played, Liverpool
have eight games against the sides who started this weekend in the bottom half of the table, with
three coming against clubs in the bottom four of the standings.
After being involved in football and other sports for more years than I care to remember, I realize
there's something drastically wrong with the way the press has turned sports reporting into nothing
more than an ongoing soap opera. This is especially true in football with the recent rumours
regarding Germany's Lucas Podolski and Arsenals' Flying Dutchman Robin Van Persie.
There has been plenty of news this past week following Arsenals impressive win over AC Milan.
We were so close to pulling off what before the match started seemed like an almost impossible
task of scoring five goals without a goal from Milan in order to progress into the last eight.
The first half was edge of the chair excitement I have not seen Arsenal play as well as that all
season, it was truly fantastic, and on that kind of form they could beat any team in the world.
Simmering in the euphoria at the moment and what better time, to hit out, than now on the back
of a such an awesome victory. (a l'AVB?) But before I do though Napoli such a good, good team. Huge
respect for them. Had we lost, they would definitely have been my surrogate club in the CL!
Alright let's get some things of my chest:
- All this talk about old guard boi they stepped up!

Tottenham Hotspur 3-1 Swansea City Premier League 1st April 2012
After being on the good side of a gap between themselves and rivals Arsenals in the table for so
long, Tottenham have found themselves chasing the Gunners for third place in recent weeks.

1. "A real Keystone Cops moment" We're starting with a real pet hate here. Has
anyone actually seen this movie or even so much as heard it referred to outside of the MotD studio?
Is it anything like Beverley Hills Ninja?

Dear Gunners Our Faith has been tested during this season like never before, its been dubbed as
Arsne Wengers toughest season ever, His worst ever, where some gunners and the media labeled
Arsenals new recruits panic buys, Calling Arsenal a sinking ship. And now and then we'd be told by
the other team*** to mind the gap.

"He Was not one of Durtmund's Best young players" Were some of the headlines his signature was
met with.More on that here.
So I also did some digging around to find out who is this young german we had paid £600k
for.
I was lucky Enough to find see that reserve league match he played in against Swansea.
