V(W)enger Vindicated

' It is still very early in the season, but when you see your players all dancing around the pitch and showing so much spirit, it fills you with hope' - Professor Wenger

First it was Spuds...now its Sevilla, the story is same. Team derided by all at season's start, even said to be relegated is now the eye of European football with soccer pundits coming out with new predictions about Arsenal's season. We're being treated to football with a smile, a deep-seated commitment to pure attacking at a pace most teams can only dream about. So long as Arsene Wenger is manager of Arsenal, and that should be for a considerable period of time after his signing the new 3 year deal, his team will only play beautiful football and even though their determination to impress their adoring public occasionally costs them, they will not be changing for anyone.

Arsene Wenger could content himself with another night of triumph in what is already becoming a season of vindication for the Arsenal boss. His move to off-load Thierry Henry and put all his faith in the youngsters he has been promoting for many a year was more than a little bold during the summer, but it looks set to pay off in the grand manner. The boring functional football displayed by sides such as AC Milan, Chelsea and FC Porto has brought success in Europe's premier competition in the last few years but now it appears that Arsenal's angelic football not only impresses one and all but also has started giving result with young guns maturing to their fullest this season.

What's more pleasing to see is people also learing the difference between the two schools of football thought.On first Champions league night. Emirates Stadium was packed out for the game just a day after Stamford Bridge was left half-full for the Blues first Champions League game of the campaign, Wenger also commented later on...

'The support at this club amazes me and maybe we will need to add some seats onto this stadium sometime,' he added. 'Maybe the football we play attracts more people than other clubs.'  - Wenger

While it's still early in the current campaign, it is easy to question - can any side in European football match Arsenal for aptitude and entertainment at the moment? Arsenal's Premier League win over Tottenham & Champions League meeting with a very capable Sevilla was mesmerizing 

Perhaps, it's too early to make judgements. After all, the resources of Wenger's squad have yet to be properly tested. But every season we're introduced to a new name or two and new names like Bacary Sagna, Emmanuel Eboue, Kolo Toure and the brilliantly gifted Cesc Fabregas have shone brilliantly this summer and future appears bright for young guns...

So far so good...

I am ecstatic... last two days for our Arsenal has been terrific. Firstly, Wenger in his well known no-fuss style pinched Diarra from Chelshits...whom Mourinho claimed to be the center of his future strategy. Welcome Diarra in AFC and I hope you will be able to do justice to your skills wasted in Chelsea...
But most important is todays win over Pompeys.Adebayor converted the spot kick to send Arsenal into a lead they never relinquished as Arsene Wenger's side cantered to their third Premier League win of the season.Cesc Fabregas and Tomas Rosicky completed the rout with second-half strikes and the only cloud over an scintillating display was the 50th minute dismissal of Philippe Senderos.

Wenger's claims he does not need outside investment to make Arsenal competitive were given credibility this afternoon.Gunners dominated the entire match from the start and visitors were barely able to dent Arsenal's defense. Goals are coming this season and we are getting positive results. One can clearly feel the "winds of change"

Overall very good game from Arsenal and I feel this has been a perfect start to the new season, we should go on and control this season and take ourselves to glory yet again.

PS: More bliss follows as Chelsea lost at Villa Park...:D

King Henry Leaves the Throne...

“Arsenal will be in my blood aswell as my heart. I will always, always, always remember you guys. I said I was going to be a Gunner for life and I did not lie because when you are a Gunner you will always be a Gunner. The Club is in my heart and will remain in my heart forever.” - Thierry Henry (23 June)


It is surely an end of an era as the great man, THIERRY HENRY leaves ARSENAL FC to join FC BARCELONA. A feeling of sadness has overpowered all fellow gunners as we loose the man who best represented the Arsenal Jersey with his fabulous goals. And, oh, what goals they were. Who can forget his hat-tricks against Liverpool and Roma, his double at Inter, solo efforts from inside his own half against Spurs and Real Madrid, or his flick up and volley over Fabien Barthez against Man Utd? The list goes on. I can still here d commentator shoutin in disbelief " HENRYYYYYYYYYYYY STRIKES !!!

It was on the cards especially after the departure of Viera, Pires, and recent one of David Dien. Everyone knows Henry has made this move most unwillingly, and I believe politics has done our club more harm than anything else in recent years. Henry wanted some stability...and clearly after departure of Dein he was unsetteled.
We all wanted Henry to bounce back and show them all what he's all about, I wanted Henry to take us out of this torrid times but all this was not to happen.
Very few gud arrivals at Arsenal but very big departures have become trend of the day. I loved henry but I have also come to realize that no one is bigger than the club, not even HENRY himself. We ll always remember him for all d great moments he gave us.


We bid you farewell and luck & hope you set the LA LIGA on fire. Henry is leavin the club but he'll always be there in our heart as gunner n only in red-white jersey.
And personally I dont blame him for leaving. He in 30 and everyone wants to play in a big club like Barca..


I'll be a GUNNER for rest of my life & I'll also be his craziest fan until i die.
But as I say all this, I know arsenal will fight back, I know we'll get through, I know we'll win.ARSENAL is no joke. We have done it in the past and we'll do it again. But I am waiting for the day when Arsenal meets Barca in UCL final....
Go Arsenal go........, we are with you as Gunners
