WILSHERE BANNED, COSTA MUST COME

Wow, i am back here blogging! been a while, so many things happened, dad's birthday, i remember it was on that day that i saw hundreds of Chelsea fans rooting for Everton to beat Arsenal, i wasn't surprised though, they are known for that, they always wanna drag a fine team down to where they are on the table and God shamed them as we ended it in a draw, my day would have been spoiled mehn, thank God my friends had eaten by then, if we had lost that game, believe me, all my Chekpe fans wouldn't have eaten, ordinary pure water they wont taste! Awon Olote oshi

Okay, so Jack Wilshere has been handed two-match ban. Why? Because he told Manchester Shitty fans to PHU*K OFF! i don't blame the dude, he is still young and getting booed by some jealous fans who wished they have such a talent in their team is enough to provoke a dude, especially as his team were down, what do you expect? Wayne Pooney, sorry, Rooney did more than that when he was his age, so i don't blame him, the only way i blame him is because he failed to punch Yaya Toure in the face! Wilshere! a punch in the face would have been a perfect christmas gift for we gunners!

Fuck off yo manchitty fans ....

So, for this big middle finger to those shitty fans definitely cost us as jack will be absent in the next two matches especially that crucial game against Chelsea at the Emirates, a must win if you ask win. I am so glad i will be on holiday by then, a monday, i am so looking forward to that game. 

Olivier Giroud must step up, he was absolutely poor against Chitty, mehn, how could a professional player play like that? Just to cross a ball, anytime i see the replay of that game, i always wanna shoot the dude, come on, Wenger should bring out the money, splash it and we are the league winners!

We have been linked with Athletico Madrid striker, Diego Costa. I hope Wenger wil choose him ahead of Karim Benzema, the Spanish International is a fine striker and he has got that face! that scary face that can make Terry wanna vomit on the pitch, bring him on Wenger!

Wilshere did middle finger, you talking? Wait for me ...

I am coming back fully tomorrow 

3 POINTS, 3 GOALS, 7 POINTS CLEAR ...

I know I am known, even if its few people, I still know I am known. I followed a friend to the HipTV audition yesterday and I gat two chicks staring at me, not because I’m a fine boy, don’t yabb me, I know I am not fine, they knew my face somewhere and they went like, “Check me out, check me out”, that the name of the show that I present, so that shows they know me, they didn’t face me though, just to let me know they know me. A guy also saw me, they will be thinking, why is this guy coming here to take our jobs na …hehehehehe … just followed a friend mehn.

Ok, and while I was there, I missed the Cardiff City game, very painful as I was so looking forward to seeing Ramsey playing against his former club, wanted to see how he will handle the pressure and all that, wanted to see how we will be respected by the fans, yeah they have to, we are the table toppers mehn, being on top of the table is not a small feat, we didn’t spend as much as some shitty club like Tottsh*t Sh*tspurs and we are up there. Not a small feat, we are the gunners …

Okay, on the game generally, according to reports, we didn’t play as much as well as we should, missed chances, Giroud doing the usual, forming model on the pitch and thinking he can woo some fine chicks, mshewwww, ode boy, that is why I maintain we need a top notch balabulu striker, awon omo aiye striker, a Drogba-like striker, if not for my stolen phone, I used to have Wenger’s number, I would have called him to make amends, yesterday against Cardiff City, we could have scored up to 10 goals but we ended up scoring 3 beautiful goals and two coming from a man that should have been arrested since because he has been an assassin … RAMBO, and he came back to score two lovelies against his former team.

Aaron Ramsey, two lovely goals, he didn’t celebrate, as expected though, he wouldn’t have celebrated against his former club, the team that raised him before Wenger snatched him up, oh, it was a tough battle between us and Womanchester United. He signed for us instead, now he is the world’s best midfielder, at least for the moment, can’t say tomorrow if Diaby (laughing) can take over from him. Talking of the midfield, I will never argue with anyone because I am so sure we have the best midfield in the world, case closed. Matthieu , or Mathew Flamini also scored his first goal since returning to Arsenal with a lovely shot, that could beat any goalkeeper in the world, very fast, I was so excited when the commentator shouted goal! I was driving and listening to brila FM then and I have my friend Victor beside me then, he is a Womanchester united fan, I could have hit a trailer when the goal was announced, it won’t be bad to die for Arsenal though hehehehehehe, but taking a Womanchester fan along, spoiled fun I tell you.

We shouldn’t forget the heroics of Woljiech Szczesny too, aside the point blank save from Campbell (I saw the highlite yesterday night), he has been wonderful overall this year, heis one of the reason we are up there on the table, superb saves, he has grown so much, so matured now, he had turned Fabianski to a mere beans picker at Arsenal; Mesut, the son of Mr Ozil has also been fantastic and he was fantastic yesterday too, providing assists and he is now topping the EPL assist table despite not giving 100 yet o! Mind you, this is the same Cardiff City that held Womanchester Inuted to a 2 all draw.We are now 7 phucking points clear and I hope Liverfool, Liverpool and Chlsick lose today so we can go even further against Hull on Wednesday.

I came across a report where Micheal Owen said he still maintains his believe that Arsenal will end up in the 5^th position this season, and this kind of people, the question they need is, “Bro Micheal, are you in any way OKAY? Hope you are not sick?” Hehehehehe, he must be a learner. Anyway, let him say whatever he wanna say, we are far ahead of him.

After the game, Ramsey thanked the fans who stood by him despite hurting them

"It was an exciting time for me and my family to come back here and play, It was a great day and one I'm going to remember. I hope I put on a [good] performance for them [Cardiff City and their fans], this is where I started my career and everything began, and hopefully they've seen the player they produced today. In an unusually magnanimous show of respect from a partisan football stadium, the Cardiff fans applauded Ramsey after both his first and second-half goals. I'm really pleased with the way the fans reacted, I've got a lot of respect for them. This is where I started off in my career and they realized I needed to make the next step. They were really respectful and I gave them my respect too by not celebrating [after the goals]."

Okay, so i have been arguing with Chekpe fans on twitter, they wanna know when Chelsick will be playing Arsenal, they are not even bothered about what is happening against the Saints today, won nbe! Their problem is, they refuse to respect us, being on top of the table alone deserves respect which they are not willing to do.

 

As o go now, i have to thank God for finding this Proud Ekiti Chick, follow her @Proud_EkitiGirl for online promos, that’s what she studies at Harvard Technological Paramedical Astronological University back in the 70s

Running away, tmro guyzzzzzzzzzzzzz

GET WELL SOON RICE; MERTESACKER SIGN THA PAPER MEHN! ... TAILOR FLAMINI

I was just been told about an audition somewhere around somewhere that leads to somewhere on the way to somewhere ... So many wheres i tell you. Should be there too cos i desperately need a change. Change like Obama. 

Okay, we starting on a sad note, our former Assistant manager, Wenger;s right hand man, Pat Rice has been admitted in the hospital for cancer, yeah, and really, if this was Football Manager, you would have been asked if you wanna send Patty home or make him stay around, but sending him home will reduce the risk of spreading the symptoms among the squad. lol, Gamers.

Rice, 64, made 528 appearances for the Gunners over 14 seasons after joining the youth team, going on to win the league and FA Cup double in 1971 and captaining the side to further FA Cup success in 1979. He also won 49 caps for Northern Ireland.

After a spell with Watford, he joined Arsenal as a youth team coach in 1984 before progressing to further coaching roles and enjoying great success as Wenger's assistant, winning seven trophies.

Pat was Wenger's right hand man

He is always the tolerant type, i have never seen him raise an eyebrow anytime Wenger starts his 'touchline cwaze', throwing bottles up and down, trying to punch the referee et al. He is always there sitting with his glasses, i so like the man, i am sure he is always saying to himself "Mr man, sit down mehn, when you refuse to buy players, you wanna win? Just let the bottle touch me, i will punch your stingy nose" ... hehehe, Patty! Get well soon Patty

On a positive note, stand-in captain, Per Mertesacker is reportedly on the verge of signing a new deal, he surely deserves it. He has been one of the reasons why we are up there on the table, that shows against Womanchester United, that goal scored by Vanpastring, whatever his name is, i care lass, Mertescaker would have stayed with him, yes i know we could have even conceded more goals if he played, but i am so sure that goal wouldn't have happened.

"I'm very delighted here with the club, especially after the first year was tough for me, a very tough challenge, the boss always trusted me in a special way so I think it's a little reward that we talk a bit on things. There's no rush but it seems to be that some guys are delighted with my performance at the moment. I'm pleased with the situation."

 I also heard he is going into fashion and already planning to have a shirt line, clothing line? nice one. Still on the clothing line, another player that seems to be in love with that profession is Mathew Flamini, but his own is in the dressing room! 

How on earth could a player be bringing in scissors and cutting off the sleeves oh his shirt? According to reports, he is not comfortable with the long sleeves, he did that previously and was warned but he did it again against Marseille, what is wrong with the dude? 

Imagine!!!!!!

I will rest my case till i see him again i Yaba tryign to buy bend down select, i will warn him. 

Have a gunnerous day mare, oh, forget not to punch a Chelsick fan today!

I WANNA 'PUNCH' PUNCH!! , WILSHERE 2 MARSEILLE 0, STRANGE GROUP ....

Okay, i woke up this morning with my cousin telling me that my tweet about 9ice was published inside today's PUNCH, he had READ IT online, that is the problem when you always read newspapers online, even GEJ dont read like my cousin! Well, i just feel as a versatile journalist, yeah i am into entertainment too, in fact i present a TV show, so i feel that could tarnish my relationship with the singer, they shouldn't have published that. 

I am not a troublesome person, so i am not taking any measures against them, dont see that happening, i just feel my tweets should be personal and going as far as quoting me, i dont like it, Punch i will punch you o!

Well, thats that, Football now, yesterday night, Jack Wilshere grabbed the first two-goal haul of his career as Arsenal inched towards qualification from Champions League Group F on Tuesday night. This group is proving to be the real group of death as tagged during the draws.

Arsenal will qualify if they avoid a three-goal defeat in Italy on matchday six against Napoli, i actually don't see that happening and with the way things are, i see Dortmund going out of this group, i want that to happen though ... so, they wont forget Arsenal in a hurry *winks*

However they will have to get a draw if they want to be certain of securing top spot.

SETTING THE SCENE

Wenger made three changes from the side that had extended their lead in the Premier League table against Southampton on Saturday.

Kieran Gibbs was a late omission after feeling unwell. Nacho Monreal came in at left-back. Elsewhere it was like for like in midfield - Tomas Rosicky for Santi Cazorla and Mathieu Flamini for Mikel Arteta.

FIRST HALF

Arsenal had the lead within half a minute. Wilshere escaped down the right and fooled his marker before curling a wonderful left-footed effort into the top corner.

The home side came into this game top of the Premier League and Champions League Group F. Marseille had yet to register a point and had been patchy in Ligue 1.

Therefore the goal was the perfect foundation for the home side to kick on.

They should have doubled their advantage almost immediately when Olivier Giroud found Wilshere down the right. He tapped a perfect ball across the face of goal for the onrushing Ramsey. Keeper Steve Mandanda managed to save with his legs.

Although Wojciech Szczesny raced out well to snatch the ball from the feet of Andre-Pierre Gignac, Marseille were offering little more than honest endeavour.

Arsenal had the game under control. Ozil and Rosicky both had half-chances for a second, and Giroud seemed to be hauled down in the area as he went for a free-kick.

Eight minutes from the whistle Arsenal did get a penalty when Nicolas N’Koulou tripped Ramsey on the edge of the area. Ozil opted for a shortened run-up but Mandanda read it and saved low to his right. Ozil was so relaxed talking the penalty as if its Joe Hart in goal. He should be whipped in the ass by Wenger

SECOND HALF

The statistics showed Arsenal had enjoyed 70 per cent of the possession in the first half. But the scoreline did not reflect that.

They were unnecessarily vulnerable and immediately sought to rectify the situation.

Giroud blazed over and, in the 55th minute, Ozil sprinted through only to see his cross-shot saved by Mandanda.

Marseille were on the ropes now and offered little in terms of offence.

Arsenal needed a knockout blow and the second goal, in the 65th minute, seemed to land it.

The passing on the goal was exquisite. Ramsey released Ozil down the right-hand channel and he found Wilshere in the middle.

The Englishman coverted and suddenly (and uniquely) found himself on a hat-trick.

It seemed a long way back for Marseille and Wenger looked to make changes. Substitutes Cazorla and Theo Walcott were standing on the sidelines when Florian Thauvin’s half-saved shot was booted off the line by Monreal.

Two minutes later the same player tested Szczesny with a low shot just inside the near post.

But it was only a brief revival.

Arsenal ended in the ascendency. Walcott set up Cazorla to blaze over. The Englishman then fired wide.

When the whistle went it felt like 'job done'. That is why this group is so crazy a group, with 12 pints, ordinarily one should be assured of progressing to the next stage but we are still at the risk of being kicked out but we will qualify i am sure of that. We have come of age and when you have qualities like Walcott, Arteta, Cazorla, Gnarby, Podolski .... ermmm, ok Bendtner on your bench, it gives you this believe that we are going places.

However there is still something to do in Naples next time out. Hehehehe, Naples, Nipples lolz ... ashewo people

Group F

	P	W	D	L	F	A	+/-	Pts
Arsenal	5	4	0	1	8	3	5	12
Borussia Dortmund	5	3	0	2	9	5	4	9
Napoli	5	3	0	2	8	9	-1	9
Marseille	5	0	0	5	4	12	-8	0

So, have a gunnerous day peeps. And have you laughed at Chelsea fans today? Please dont miss the opportunity. Yesterday on twitter, i was asking my Chelsick pals 'how market', they were mute i later realized that their BIS must have expired immediately after they lost to BASEL ... Oh, @Haykinz later responded, later @afilmhead also 'unmute' hehehehe. Only MJ didn't talk.

PICTURE: DIABY IS STILL ALIVE! YIPEE & MARSEILLE PREVIEW

I am that kind of person that can go extra mile to satisfy people around me, i just wanna see smiles on the faces of people and when i was accused by this friend of mine of something, i had to defend myself because i don't like it when people don't understand me. It was gonna be a bad start to the day but i have conquered it .... So, lets do the gunnerous thingy

Okay, guys check this picture first and who are you seeing at the back of those players? !!!!

Like the yorubas will say, "oto laye e" .. thats Diaby's place .. behind

Seriously, i didn't know that guy is still alive, Diaby? I am happy to see him jugging too. I am so sure he will be thinking of leaving as soon as he gets his full fitness, sincerely, i don't see Diaby getting a place in this team, his manager should be combing countries like Togo, Egypt or even China, getting his client a suitable club because i don't think he will have a place in this team again.

So, tonight we face Olympique De Marseille at the Emirates and seriously, i am concerned about the other match involving Napoli and Dortmund, i really wish it ended in a draw but then, this is why this group is tagged the group of death, just anything can still happen, so we should ensure our own passage by beating Marseille and i dont see any difficulty in that, we should be able to scale through, except of course if Park will lead the attack tonight lolz, really, i don't think Dortmund will win tonight.

Take a look at the table, very very tricky .....

Group F

	P	W	D	L	F	A	+/-	Pts
Arsenal	4	3	0	1	6	3	3	9
Napoli	4	3	0	1	7	6	1	9
Borussia Dortmund	4	2	0	2	2	4	2	6
Marseille	4	0	0	4	4	10	-6	0

According to Uefa's rules, if three teams end the group on the same number of points, the following 'tiebreakers' will be used (in order) to decide who progresses to the knockout stages:

(a) highest number of points obtained in the group matches played among the teams in question (Arsenal, Napoli and Dortmund - not Marseille)

(b) superior goal difference from the group matches played among the teams in question (ie. Arsenal, Napoli and Dortmund - not Marseille)

(c) higher number of goals scored in the group matches played among the teams in question (ie. Arsenal, Napoli and Dortmund - not Marseille)

(d) higher number of goals scored away from home in the group matches played among the teams in question (ie. Arsenal, Napoli and Dortmund - not Marseille)

If, after applying criteria (a) to (d) to all three teams, two teams still have an equal ranking, criteria (a) to (b) are reapplied exclusively to the matches between the two teams in question to determine their final rankings.

If this procedure does not lead to a decision, criteria (e) to (g) apply;

(e) superior goal difference from all group matches played;

(f) higher number of goals scored from all group matches played;

(g) higher number of coefficient points accumulated by the club in question, as well   as its association, over the previous five seasons.

So, i also heard that Rod bender has been arrested or is he just cautioned? That guy should be locked up mehn. Have a gunnerous day guys, 3 points tonight guys!!!! #COYG 

SOUTHAMPTON PREVIEW, WENGER BACK TO HIS STINGY SELF

Admitted, I am so taking too much time in blogging, today i had to go with my cousin to a mechanic, he bashed his car last Sunday and we hd to repair it if not, no more parties for us lolz ... 

 

Alright so its the matchday and we are up against a team that is placed third on the League table and that means its not gonna be a child play, its not gonna be Koscielny trying to feed Lallana feeding bottle, all hands are gonna be on deck. Those Saints players are tall and energetic, very determined, i like them for that.

On what we are likely ti field, i dont think Wenger will change the usual line-up, Szczesny is starting in goal, as usual except if Fabianski has poisoned his tea, the four at the back surely should be Bac, Mertesacker, Koscielny and Gibbs. And of course our power house, the midfield, Arteta, Rambo, Ozil, Carzorla and Flamini, if Wilshere is fit, he will definitely be on the pitch, i love his energy, perfect fit for the saints. Giroud is the man up front and mehn someone should tell the dude to go look for his scoring boots wherever he kept it.

Just as i mentioned yesterday, i am so glad Theo is back, we are gonna have a strong bench, Walcott will come on anytime in the game, Wilshere is also on the bench, Iron bender is also there, we gat Gnarby also, that is what it should look like and the imminent return of Podolski is something to cheer on.

Ok, its a 3 points for sure except if luck walks out of us at the Emirates, Giroud hitting the bar 3 times, walcott fell inside the box and the referee busy looking at a sexy chick inside the stadium or the lines man eating doughnut when Lallana was offside and pokes in a goal. Luck Luck and Luck, all i want is 3 effing points.

So, Monsieur Wenger has been talking and he seems to have revisited his old wardrobe and guess what he found, his stingy suit, and has been talking about us not needing a striker again!!! is this the same man that was fighting tooth and nails to get a certain vampire from Liverpool? He was even on the phone to Mourinho to borrow Dembacious Ba, meaning he was so serious about getting a striker to support Giroud so why is he speaking Italian again?

“I think we can win the title without signing a striker, Podolski is not back but he shouldn’t be too far now. They make it less critical to sign a striker. Also, Theo [Walcott] gives us qualities that other players haven’t got. It’s a different option. Theo also gives us an opportunity to be a mobile striker. If we lose Giroud today we have nobody with body weight up front".

U want a striker? Ok, i wanna listen to Skelewu ... I'll give you Ideye .

 

Hehehe, seriously, the problem i'm always having with Wenger is that he always know what to do but he will pull our legs, listen to Skelewu, sweat it out and then be like "oh, Mesut is on his way to Heathrow ... ". i am sure after he said we didnt need a striker, the faces he saw made him change his mind

 " Look, I am not against it [a January signing]. I don’t say I never make a mistake. I certainly made some. Sometimes it is because we didn’t sign the right player. It is always difficult in the middle of the season [to sign the right players]. If somebody is doing well somewhere the clubs do not necessarily want to sell him. They can wait until the end of the season. Most of the time it is because we didn’t find [the right players].”

 He is right no doubt, if at all any club wanna sell, they will wait till after the season but he should realize we need a striker badly, if Giroud's leg gets trapped in a rat trap now, who is gonn areplace him? Iron bender? Hello no and Walcott is not the kind of striker we are talking about, i wont wanna talk much till January 31st because Wenger could be very tricky.

So, few hours now, we should be 3 points plus ... ok, i have another wedding to attend, i gat to run. have a gunnerous day ... COYG!

WALCOTT, WALCOTT, WALCOTT ... LESS PRESSURE PLEASE

It's Friday and we are starting on a very good news in terms of our options tomorrow against Southampton with Theo Walcott back in the squad. From what the manager says it seems like he’ll be starting from the bench but his pace is something we’ve missed at times, and the sooner we get him back up to speed the better, aside that, when you have 11 players on the pitch and look at your bench and you see qualities, you will feel relaxed unlike looking at your bench and seeing Nicklas Rod Bender, Broom and Parker etc ... ewwwww ... I just dont like the fact that he'll be feeling pressure to perform and hoping it wont affect his game.

Meanwhile, from what we are hearing, Lukas Podolski is around three weeks away, apparently, which realistically means he’s another few weeks beyond that to get back to match sharpness. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is ‘at least’ a month, but fears that Jack Wilshere had been matcheted by Frank Lampard while on England duty were dismissed by the boss who said those reports were inaccurate. 

I guess it’s just part and parcel of the Wilshere narrative. If any other footballer got a kick during a game, it’s not a story, but because it’s Jack, and because there’s such concern over his fitness, yeah, we know he has a cracker biscuit bone, it’s easy to make the jump if you’re that way inclined.

Meanwhile, Santi Cazorla makes a very interesting observation about Arsene Wenger. Having talked the other day about how the team have matured, he says of the manager:

" The manager is more concienciado, more concentrated, more conscious. He’s more demanding, it’s been a long time without winning anything and he’s determined. In terms of not committing mistakes, he’s more on top of us. He knows last year we lost too many points. It could be that [the pressure in the summer] might have helped; it might have done the club good "

Cazorla points to the signing of Mesut Ozil as the moment things changed. Not just for the fans, but also for the players:

People want that run to end. They were excited, agitated: they wanted signings, a genuine chance of fighting for the title. And with the signing of Mesut optimism returned. The players got a lift too, the mentality changed. We felt like we had closed the gap.

Sincerely, i feel we are well oiled to win at least a trophy this season, baring any injury and of course, with Wenger getting a very bahdt striker by January.

Till tomorrow where we will preview the Southampton game, a must win for us i must say.
