Gunnerrific

That’s right. Situation normal, all f*cked up. It started with the Moscow draw, worsened with the Everton draw, and went downhill since the loss against West Ham. We’ve had the occasional glimmer of hope, like the Liverpool win, but over-all our performance thus far has been tragic. For each step forward, we take two back.

My post about the four problems we have still holds true in my mind. Morale, leadership, player rotation, and consistency in finishing. Of course a brutish midfield presence is needed as well, so maybe I need to change this to the 5 problems Arsenal needs solve. Moreover, Arsene needs to solve them. It’s a hard time to have faith in our French Manager but he’s pulled off bigger miracles in the past.

It’s being reported that Henry is unlikely to be fit for Saturday’s Tottenham match. Sweet Holy Jesus I can’t believe this is getting worse. Henry didn’t play that well on Wednesday, but he’s our all-star. Having him on the pitch will always increase our odds of winning. I hope he recovers quickly but it’s not looking good. Howefully Lord Van Persie can help us out again to do our goal-scoring.

Can you imagine how much less frustrating it would be if Manchester and Chelsea weren’t running away with it? They just can’t stop winning while we slip and goof or way out of contention. I think at this point we’ll be in great shape if we can finish third, and somehow pull off another good Champion’s League performance.

Meanwhile the Guardian is reporting that the Emirates stadium has been linked to the recent death of the Russian ex-spy. That’s just strange. I think the police must be confused. You see, Emirates is where Arsenal is being beaten into frustration, not where an ex-KGB agent was murdered with radiation. Rimshot.

There’s one thing that is certain though.  And that is that this particular gunner is staying positive.  Optimistic.  Wishful.  Dreamy.  Call it what you will, but I’m behind the boys to turn this around.
