Tonight, we will host our arch rival down the road.
Almunia will play. Nasri will play some part. AA, Fabregas and RVP will torture Spurs!
In addition, harry redknapp added spice to the game by claiming that Arsenal cant win the BPL title. I hope this will fire the boys up! And lets win BIG. 3-0 to the Arsenal.
Go Gunners!!!

Arsenal vs West Ham: The Aftermath....
First of all, i am devastated. the one thing that Sagna reminded all his teammates not to do and we did it: We switched off after a 2-0 lead.
Points of contention:
1) not going for the jugular and killing off the opposition. Wenger reminded us again of this in his post match conference.
2) AA having a listless night. At his age, he shd have to gain some level of consistency if he wants to win all the trophies
3) No quality passes or crosses for the strikers
4) Fabregas completely switiching off after the 2-0 lead. He did not help in the defence at all.
5) Diaby holding and holding the ball... And not defending at all. HELLO!!! wake up and start defending till the last min. Isnt the lesson at AZ a good enough reminder?
6) Eboue is not a striker. Play 4-3-3 with Bendtner or Dudu in his place. To be fair to Eboue, he had a decent game but he cant shoot at all. Also, I noticed he has bulked up so this kid has grown up and has put in hard work.
7) Mannone is to blame for the first goal. Rule no 1: Push out and over OR push away from goal. NOT push into the 6 yard box.
8) Lastly, I HATE giving up the chance to TOP THE TABLE!!! This is sickening...!!!

Is it time for Wenger to deliver?
With all the pressure building over the past four years for Arsene Wenger to deliver a trophy, Arsenal chief executive Ivan Gazidis has upped the stakes by saying that the board expects a trophy. And they expect it NOW. This season!No more buts or “great potential” talk. So is it time for Wenger’s team to deliver? Or rather, is it time for Wenger to deliver?
The potential in the current Arsenal team is never in doubt. From the young Vito Mannone at the back to the equally young Theo Walcott up front, coupled with the even younger Jack Wilshere and Aaron Ramsay in midfield, nobody would openly question the talent that has been showcased over the years. The question has always been: “Will all this talent translate into trophies?”
The last pieces of the puzzle seemed to be fixed this season when Wenger sold the troublesome Emmanuel Adebayor and bought Andrei Arshavin (last January) and Thomas Vermaelen.
Then Wenger stunned everybody by selling Kolo Toure too! It seemed like a mystery, but the general consensus is that Wenger chose William Gallas and some cash over Toure to achieve peace in the dressing room.
Mind you, the team started the season well enough with an amazing 6-1 win at Goodison Park and decent wins until the two Manchester weekends rocked the confidence of the young team.
They have since steadied themselves with the last win sealed by a fabulous Fabregas performance in the 6-2 demolition of Blackburn Rovers.
Having said all of this, does this team have what it takes to last the season and win some trophies? The answer is a resounding “YES”. The time is now! The team deserve it.
Mannone has displayed his maturity and is a candidate to challenge Manuel Almunia for the No.1 jersey ahead of Lucasz Fabianski. The defence is in great form with Vermaelen proving to be an astute buy by Wenger.
A stunning return of five goals have made the Dutchman the top scorer in the team. With Gallas, Gael Clichy and Bacary Sagna providing the stability from previous season, this is a defence that can hold out for the title.
In midfield and attack, Wenger has employed an exciting 3-3 formation not unlike the one used by Barcelona. With Cesc Fabregas liberated from defensive duties, the likes of Robin van Persie, Arshavin, Walcott, Nicklas Bendtner and Eduardo take turns to torture different teams into submission.
No doubt, this formation will require a very hard-working defensive midfielder, a job filled by Alex Song at the moment. Song is a raw diamond but I believe this will be the season when he steps out of the shadow of a certain Patrick Vieira.
Finally, the return of the wily and experience Czech midfielder has given us a cool head to deal with things. Tomas Rosicky dictates the play whenever he has the ball and gives Fabregas so much support that it is a true joy to watch them play together.
If this team stays injury free, I believe we will be able to grab a few trophies.
Go Gunners!

Starhub vs Singtel; Who suffers?
The scoreboard points to a Singtel Victory. But who actually suffers?
For those in the woods on what I am talking about, the recent winning bid in Singapore for the television rights for the BPL games were won over from cable providers Starhub to Singtel. As many of us are tied to long term contracts with Starhub, it may be necessary to install two cable boxes in our houses.
Competition should bring improvements and also to slash prices for the consumers at large. Instead, this competition has led to more inconvenients and most likely more expenses ($$$$) to the innocent consumers........
Plus the tie up in also mobile phones and internet connection, the loss to a starhub subscriber may also include the loss of discounts from hubber club benefits.
Battle of the Goliaths... and Davids suffer......

Arsenal vs Blackburn
We host Blackburn this Sunday with hopes that Walcott will finally make his appearance for this season.Blackburn arrives in Ashburton on the back of an impressive win over Villa. The good news is that the Emirates Stadium is not a happy hunting ground for Blackburn Rovers. The Lancashire side have conceded 12 goals in three Premier League appearances here.
Big Sam may have wave his magic wand with Bolton but the wand seems a bit malfunction (hope it stays like this) at the moment with Blackburn. Nonetheless, they are solid at the back and David Dunn will be their man in the middle.
We should have Walcott and Bendtner back in the team. However, we have lost Eduardo to a groin injury suffered during the Greek CL game. Nasri and Fabianski continue their recovery from injuries.Man of the match-Mannone will once again deputise between the posts as Blondie is still out with his mysterious virus.
I expect a tough game with us finally winning after many crunching tackles to win 3-1.
GO Gunners!!!
