Jah a Wobble or a turning point?


The Coach

By Boris Mellor
January 19 2008

If you put your foot down and miss a step, you can go into blind panic, followed by relief as you find the next step. The reaction is disproportionate to the actual fall. However the reason for the panic is that you did not know, beforehand, when the fall would stop. If you had known you would not have gone into shock.

 Therefore, after last week’s draw against Birmingham many Gooners were in shock, for having missed a step they are not sure where it will end. We live in a day and age where every short-term trend is claimed to have long-term effects. So draw a game and that is the whole season finished. Of course, these events can be turning points, such as the draw against Bolton a few seasons ago.

Jah a Wobble?

So with Arsenal facing Fulham today there is only one main question, was last week’s draw a long-term trend? In the Bank after the Birmingham match one of our number gave his verdict straight away it’s, “just a wobble” , he declared, and then we all felt better. 

Wenger himself said something similar at the post match briefing, so the Bank Posse and Arsene are on working the same lines. Of course, if we do not bounce back against Fulham it could be more than a wobble. Anyhow, we shall know soon enough

A loss against the Cottagers would mean Arsenal realistically being out of the hunt, and would be looking for third place.
Of course Wenger thinks Chelsea will suffer most from the Africa jamboree. We will see.

Not often i think the great man is wrong, but he is wrong about Chavs, they can buy themselves out of most things - hence super sulk. I dont think we would drop to third.

No. If we lose or even draw at Fulham, then we will be relegated.

Warning: Supporting Arsenal is not for the faint at heart... It requires hard balls...

No.

Today it shows we are not championship materials yet - still work in progress.

Based on today performance, we are disjointed, lack of imagination to break-down 4-6-0, and still stupidly and blindly like lemmings going off a cliff driving int eh centre, trying to score the Beautiful Goal.

And still will not exploit the weakness in Fulham defence - accurate crosses from the flanks.

And we forgot how to shoot from outside the box.

2 good and 2 bad.

1st Good - we can crossed accurately from the flanks.
2nd Good - we re-discovered late runs from deep in midfield to score.

1st Bad - we forgot how to score from outside the box.
2nd bad - we forgot how to pass one-touch, one-two pass to break into the box.

Playing and not improving and not varying our tactical appraoch, we will get knock-out by Spuds in CC semi, Milan in CL Cup, Newcastel in FA Cup, and will be pretty lucky to hand onto 2nd in premeirship.

Apparently all that is wrong with arsenal in 2006/07 seasons are returning to this Arsenal team in 2008.

Arsene Wenger better do something pretty quick to straighten this team mentally now.

They are too complacency, too arrognance and not respecting the grit and fighting spirits of lower-half opponents too lightly for my liking.

FUlham game is s turnign point.

it shows we lack ruthlessness and lack respect for opponents when they decided to cruise at 2-0, forgetting previous bitter experience that one lucky goal to 2-1 will boost the opponent to no end sensing hope and will raise their game to draw and even win it.

it si sheer arrognance of thsi f**kign team that they refused to go in for the kill and finished off lowly opponent 3-0 before half-time.

I maintained, all of arsene Wenger's teams from now onwards will win f**k-all if he still does instil a killer isntinct into all those youngsters.

They will fall at te fnal hurdle and will prove Gerrard, Terry and Ferguson right after all.

That is, Arsene Wenger's teams never have the bottle to last the pace...

Fulham match is the turning point.
Team arsenal Mark 4 will win f**k all if they can't put a 4-6-0 deensive team to the sword by half-time.

Now, every team will fancy to grab at least a point at Emirates and have no fear of Arsenal.

Unlike with French Spine during their halycon days, all teams feared them and come to Highbury with one thing in their mind: "How to aviod defeat".

"How to aviod defeat" is completely difference from teams that come to Emirates believing they have a chance to grab a point.

Sorry fellas and fellettes, my conclusion after Fulham match si that we are lucky to hang onto 2nd spot let alone winning the premeirship.

Bye bye CL Cup - MIlan will knock us out easily in 2nd gear f thsi si teh kind of f**k-up performance dished upa gainst a lowly opponent 4-6-0; with Milan the master of Catecanccio.

Yes, a turning point where all signs are we will win f**k-up this season....(Sm19)
