Let's Stand up for The Arsenal

Does it really matter that we drew to Southampton? Does it really matter that we dropped points on Tuesday? Does it really matter that we are now second in the EPL? No it does not since after all we are The Arsenal, one of the greatest clubs to ever set foot on a football pitch.

I was thinking about the current status of the club a few days ago and I came to a revelation. We are finally on our way to overcoming the adversity that has surrounded us for the past 8 seasons. It’s quite amazing actually; the fact that we are now considered a threat in the world of football again. Seeing as we were once the joke of the English Premier League and the Champions League, and now we have the chance to finally break the dreaded trophy-less curse.

Wenger Accepts his Team’s Underdog Role (Written by @ChrisMoore32)

Earlier Friday, Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger made it known, quite frankly what most fans already assumed, that his team cannot match fellow Premier League rivals Manchester City and Chelsea in funds.  The Frenchman told Arsenal.com, “In terms of their resources no (we can’t compete) because they have unlimited resources, but with our resources available, we are ready to fight.”

What will we do without Walcott?

Now I know I’m a bit late on this, but I thought it would be appropriate to express my views on the Theo Walcott injury situation after contemplating my thoughts for a few days. As you all know, Theo Walcott was diagnosed with a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament of his left knee, an injury he sustained while playing against the Tottenham Hotspur in a 3^rd round FA cup match. The match ended with a score of 2-0 in the Gunners favour, although the loss of Walcott for the remainder of the season certainly meant the enjoyment of victory was not felt for long. The young Englishman is expected to be out for around 6 months while his knee heals, leaving manager Arsène Wenger with a difficult situation.

My Top 5 Arsenal Targets

With the transfer window having been open for 3 days now, there has been much speculation as to who the Gunners may decide to pursue in order to bolster the options for the squad. Many think that the club are in need of a striker, some say defenders, some people are even saying the club need more midfielders. From my eyes, I believe that the club should mainly focus on attacking players, just to have a variety of options with the attacking man up front. There are 5 transfers in particular that I would love to see happen, even if they are unrealistic.

King Henry

Although I hate to seem like someone who jumps on a bandwagon, the moment I saw King Henry play I knew he needed support. Yes I will admit it, being in Canada and not knowing much about football, or soccer as they call it here, seeing a player play with such finesse and technicality meant I had found my new favourite player. Yes it is the one, the only, Thierry "The King" Henry.
