Portsmouth postmortum,gilberto and looking to CL
Well 3-1 was the score line,
in a game we never looked like loosing .Even after senderos was shown RED in 49th minute for a suspect challenge it was all a formality until the End whistle blew.
I think it is fine if a team trys to match us for skill , instead of thuggery tactics like blackburn, but really was portsmouth that effective?
Maybe they need to resort to the same brutality as blackburn , because on paper i think they have stronger players(than blackburn). Yet trying to compete with free flowing passing style game they definately looked 2nd best So it proves WE ARE GOOD ! … we are now sitting behind liverpool in 2nd spot, with chelsea on the same points with 1 more game played !
As i did predict after raffa started his spending spree, i knew they would be pushing this season for the title . And definately going on form they are the ones we should be conserned about . Dont rule out the others however the season is only in its infancy . And whilst on the subject of ‘big spending clubs’ gilberto pretty much personifies my feelings during the off -season ,GILBERTO had this to say …
“It’s a big gamble when clubs spend big money for each new season but we do not spend.”But while we haven’t spent a lot of money, we have been playing together for a few years now.”That makes a difference in the game because we all know each other – if I pass to Cesc Fabregas he knows exactly where the forwards will be. That’s important.”We must keep focused because other clubs have made some very good signings.
“Arsene has his policy of signing players and he does what he believes is right for the club.”He spends as little as possible and that helps the club when they do need to spend money.”
Wenger’s belief that his young side is ready to flourish has been given credibility by their fine start to the Premier League.But still dont think the seasons in the bag ! Its simply a good start to the season , and thats reflected in the ‘leader board’. To stay consistant and not give too much away is vital to our success . Take a strangle hold on the top 2 spots , and cement our place in the top 2 is what is needed. Step on the gas and get as many points between us liverpool ,man’ure & the chevs as possible. Common sence stuff really ,we need to sit back and enjoy the football. And let it unfold ..
International weekend comming up and that gives us a rest ahead of our next game. its on saturday 15th of sept SPUDS Vs ARSENAL. It should be an intersting one .More on the spuds Vs Us in a week (injuries permitting).. But for those of you who arnt aware, this is who we are placed with in the CL .
UEFA Champions League : Group H Table
Sevilla
Arsenal
Slavia Prague
Steaua Bucuresti
Our 1st game is Vs sevilla at home on the 19th … Thats all from me for a while unless something biblical happens to the club .
enjoy the football this weekend .
Oh PS : rumours have jens pleading with arsene to let him go back to germany just prior to the end of the transfer window, as arsene couldnt find a 9th hour replacement for jens, and the transfer was blocked to Schalke. We will see some movement on this issue on the 1st of january.Have fun sitting on the bench jens..
