Arsene's Arsenal are complete Arses

When is Arsene Wenger actually going to stop living in denial? It seems that every time something goes against Arsenal it is someone else's fault. I am of course referring to Mr. Wenger's latest "outburst" involving the Liverpool game at the Emirates.

The referee was spot on with the timing of the game and Wenger can have no complaints about Eboue's rash decision to bundle Lucas over in the box after what seemed like Liverpool's final chance had come to nothing. As Eboue "fell in" to Lucas (as he claimed) I heard Ray Wilkins' voice, like when Obi Wan comes back at the end of Star Wars. The words "Stay on your feet" whistled around the stadium as the ironic cheers for the failure of the freekick turned into groans of misery as the failure of another season came into fruition.

Now don't even get me started on the triangle of doom that is Almunia, Koscielny and Squillaci. But I will anyway, there was a reason that Almunia was always in the shadow of 'Mad Jens' not many goalkeepers could be perceived worse than both Lehmann and Seaman, but Manuel Almunia has definitely tried his best to achieve that. Both centre backs haven't got a clue really, there is no communication between them and they just aren't good enough for the Premier League. To be fair to Arsenal they have missed Thomas Vermaelen all season and that was a big blow for them, he was one of their best players last season and could have prevented some of the costly mistakes for Arsenal.

It seems while Wenger keeps his philosophy of "we must pass the ball into the goal" Arsenal will never win anything of importance, it's the ability of grinding out those scrappy wins that makes you a champion and it is those scrappy wins that Arsenal can't seem to do, or even want to do. It is what we've seen from Man United on timeless occasions this season, probably too much from their perspective. But it's those extra scraped points that have given them their lead at the top.

Although I believe that United will win the league, it will be closer than people think, not forgetting that United still have to play Arsenal and Chelsea. If only 1 point is taken from those two games then either of those two teams could be right on United's back.

So it seems like another trophyless season is on the cards for The Gunners (but who knows I might be wrong), but it isn't all doom and gloom, the football style is there, the stadium, the players, it is all set up for Arsenal to win a trophy. They just need a different manager.
