Gunnerrific

With Manchester only winning a point today the possibility of Arsenal winning the league, all-be-it without Fabregas, seems all the more… possible. Despite our consistent reign of injuries we suffer we do have an easier schedule, still, than the United or Chelsea. I’m not sure how far we will be able to go without Fabregas but the side that played Barcelona really didn’t do all that terrible.

And apparently in this thing called the FA Cup Portsmouth shocked Tottenham to advance to the finals. Arsenal’s not in it, so I really don’t care that much.

The gents over at FootyLatest.com wrote a short post about the 5 players Arsenal should offload. I think I agree with every single one of them: Almunia, Silvestre, Gallas, Campbell, and Rosicky. However, the real issue is who do we sign? You can’t just offload all those players and spend a boatload of cash to replace them. The issue with Arsenal, which Wenger and others have outright stated, is that they don’t have the money to go and buy big name players. That’s why our squad consists of skinny but skilled little kids like Theo Walcott. Until we pay off the stadium and start sitting on some money, or perhaps win a trophy, it will be business as usual.

In other news, Messi’s name continues to show up whenever I search for news about Arsenal. It has been several days since that defeat so this needs to go away fast. I wish for one second that I could have a football conversation with someone that didn’t have to involve Messi coming up. He is a punk.
