The Defender in Attack!

Why is Arsenal lacking in class? They lose so much but still they have not learnt to lose with grace. Basically, it all stems from their stinking superiority complex and their blind belief that they are the only football team in England and winning is their right.

After every loss, Arsene Whinger should try saying ‘we played like shit and we deserved to lose‘. Instead, he always says ‘we played beautiful football and the opponents played defensive and 10 men behind ball‘. This inflates the already inflated heads of the Emigrants. So when Chelsea took the lead which everyone knew was the winner, the Arsenal captain could not simply digest the fact that their fairytale is over.

What happens here is that Mikel pulls the Toure’s shirt and referee call it a foul and stops play. How many times have you seen this on a football pitch? Million times? Toure was annoyed because they were looking for an equaliser but he cannot expect the world to stand still while they walk the ball into the net. Toure charges towards to Mikel and definitely he did not appear to advise Mikel with his words.

We already know that Toure is still not in the final stage of Darwin’s theory of evolution. He further confirmed this by saying:

Chelsea were winning and were starting to waste time, and I was not happy with that, which is why I went to Mikel and had some words with him.

Wasting time? My foot! Surely, Toure needs some more footballing lessons. This ‘wasting time’ line seems to be their favourite line in all their post match conferences. Chelsea kept attacking till the end and in fact, if the bar did not play for Arsenil, Chelsea must have been 3-1 and Toure would have come looking for Sheva, ‘to have some words with him‘. As a captain of the young team, he should have done atleast a 100 times better.

Kolo Toure displaying his defensive methods!

Arsene Whinger apologised but as always qualifies his apology with not-so-relevant point:

I feel we should not have reacted at all. Overall, we are sorry for what happened. When you do not behave like you want to then you have to apologise. We want to focus on playing football well. We want to deal well with the frustrations and want to be exemplary. But we also want to remind people that we have been top of the Fair Play table twice in the last few years. Also, this year, we are the team who have committed the least fouls in the league and been the most fouled against. What happened was a one-off for us in the last three years and we are sorry for that

Fine. Very good statistic. When you dont have a good figure in the points coumn, you can project all other columns. But who’s talking about Arsenil’s fouling or being fouled. We are talking about a team’s attrocious behaviour in a dead ball situation (remember Gilberto’s kick on Savage recently?). Whinger should be happy that they are the most fouled team as they have scored quite a few free kicks which otherwise they would have screwed up trying to walk into the net. The fact that Arsene did not mention is that Arsenil players have been red carded in the last three cup finals they have played - any inferences?

For all the talent he has for his age, Fabregas is becoming the most annoying creature for me. He seems to match Henry when it comes to uber-ego big headedness. His remarks to Mark Hughes last week was unacceptable and typically as arrogant as Arsenal. He has achieved nothing (of course, he is in Arsenil, but the statement still goes) in the world of football when compared to Mark Hughes to insult him like this. I would like to ask Fibreglass - is that Barcelona football?

In this match, there were two Fabregas moments. One was when he was pushed, he came down with his hands on his chin while there was no contact at all on his chin. That trick didnt work. Then later on, in the Toure’s wrestlemania, Fabregas made all attempts to ensure that things dont calm down and also assaulted Lampard. Fabregas should have received a red card for instigating and fuelling this fight. May be he badly frustrated as he must have been dreaming of his first silverware in England.

Now who’s the better bitch? Fabregas or Eboue? Well, they are setting standards of their own in different styles. Eboue’s antics are intolerable even for the Arsenil fan boys. He was so concerned about the situation that he came in and punched Wayne Bridge down. He must have honestly thought that this might improve the situation but ends up being charged by FA for violent conduct. See this video where he hits Bridge and realises that it is not good enough and applies more pressure - truly a quality of a good defender!

Almunia has different perspective to the whole issue:

That’s normal in big players. They want to win all the games and all the competitions. We had the cup in our hands but in the last moment we lost and I think that made us frustrated

Well Mr.Almunia, may be that’s normal in your Emigrants training ground but certainly not in the world outside. Guys, if you get a chance you can do the normal thing to Almunia and by the way make him feel that he is a big player too. Funnier comment is that he says the cup was in their hands at 1-1? Looks like even he’s taken Diaby’s boot in his head!

What can you say about Adebawhore?

My reaction after the card did not mean I wanted to hit the referee - I just wanted to know why he gave me the red card.

When you’re given a red card, you dont take 3 minutes to leave the field and all those three minutes you dont keep the referees life in danger. Simple.

In all this beautiful football by Arsenil, Mikel, unfotunately ended up getting the red card and misses three matches. Adebawhore and Toure miss three and four matches respectively. Lampard and Fibreglass got yellow cards. Both clubs have been charged for the involvement of players in this mess. And both managers might be charged too, for coming into the pitch, though it was with good intentions.

I realised that I did not post the cup celebrations of the champions. Here it is:

Finally, to all those under the hallucination of Arsene Whinger’s YNWA (You Never Win Anthing) policy, Jose Mourinho has some kind words:

Arsenal have great boys. But I wouldn’t be sad if a club gives me three, four, five years and tells me, ‘You don’t need to win. You can lose Premiership after Premiership, and you have three, four, five seasons to build. I wouldn’t be sad. Since I arrived, they have won nothing. Since we are at Chelsea, they lost Premierships, they lost the Charity Shield to us, they lost the Carling Cup to us. I don’t think they are winning a lot. Absolutely brilliant young boys, manager top, team with a great future. But they didn’t win.

This is exactly I was talking about here. Whinger has zero pressure to perform. Knock-out punch from Jose!
