Should Arsenal go for a Trophy Winning Squad Now?

This is the question that is now in the mind of many people? Many fans of the club feel that it is the time that arsenal should go for a trophy winning squad? It meant that they should have more a celebrity and high profile and expensive players at the cost of the current young players that the club has. And for the last three season, arsenal has not own anything and many people are getting impatient and are claiming the current management and the current coach. It is true and you cannot deny but at the same time you have to think of some other matters too.

Arsenal did not win anything but they own a very important thing- they did not suffer financially despite the fact that they built one of the top three largest stadiums in England in the last few years. Remaining profitable is also a very important thing that most people don’t want to understand. At the end of the day, it is money that matters. If you want to buy top quality players then you have to spend a fortune and you even for that, you need a lot of money. Without money, you cannot build greatest idioms, you cannot buy top quality players, and you cannot win any championship. This is a reality that no club in modern days can avoid or even think that miracles do happen. Who was Chelsea a decade ago? What is the difference that has happened to these clubs only within five years? It has become one of the top clubs in England and also in Europe simply because it got a lot of money.

So, my advice for the skeptics and also for those arsenal fans who do not like their coach is to find a way to get the money. Please, if you can then show me the money.

Emmanuel Adebayor: “We Need More Hunger to Win Silverware”

Arsenal striker Emmanuel Adebayor thinks Arsenal players need to have killer instinct in order to clinch their much-awaited silverware this season. Arsenal could stave off the challenge posed by West Ham United as the North London club came out of the Boleyn Ground with a 2-0 victory. Arsenal was lucky enough to get the first goal in the match thanks to an own goal awarded by West Ham United. Then it was Adebayor who doubled the lead towards the end of the match. There is no doubt, Arsenal was happy to have picked up with 3 points from the match, but their performance was not as impressive as it was against Fenerbahce on the road in Champions League last week.

Emmanuel Adebayor feels Arsenal players need to have more hunger for title and that is what he thinks crucial for the Gunners in order to put an end to their title drought this season. Adebayor thinks people like Arsenal’s style of football, but he feels, winning a trophy is better than playing good without achieving any title. The Togolese international believes a team like Arsenal deserves more than winning a league cup. However, to do that, he insists, Arsenal must have to be desperate more on the field.

Arsenal is going to face their struggling cross town rivals Tottenham Hotspur tomorrow (Wednesday) in a high profile North London derby.

Arsenal Defeated West Ham United 2-0 to Stay at the Fourth Place in the League Table

Arsenal pulled off a 2-0 victory away at West Ham United on Sunday. With this victory, the Gunners remained at the fourth place in the league table with 19 points from 9 matches. West Ham defender Julien Faubert handed an own goal to the visiting side and second half substitute Emmanuel Adebayor’s late strike ensured Arsenal three points from the match.

Arsenal could not show the same dominance they showed against Fenerbahce last week. However, Arsenal fans should be happy at winning three points and remaining in the right track of the title race. Another good news for the Arsenal fans is that captain William Gallas came back to action with this match and ahead of the upcoming derby against Tottenham Hotspur, Arsenal seems to be stronger now.

New Found Consistency for the Gunners?

In the end, the supporters and felt relieved and satisfied. They perhaps could feel some sense of consistency in the arsenal club at last in the season. It was an away match and many supporters were perhaps worried if arsenal players in show inconsistency. Well, there is perhaps a sense of relief to see that the players did not let down the club. It’s not that Arsense brutally dominated the match but they were surely the better side of the two.

By the way, the final score was 2-0 and the upon and was West Ham. What I liked about two days matches that the gunners a game played as a team. There is nothing much about any individual player to write about But as a unit, they worked very well. I feel that this other thing that All the supporters are now praying for. They do not need any individual player to score 25 plus goals and then the others just wait and see. Instead, They want to see all the players in action and present exciting movement that will bring trophies as well as entertain the spectators.

I really wish to believe that arsenal players have found some kind of consistency and they can maintain this consistency for the rest of the season. I’m happy to see that they’re doing very well in Europe as well as England. In Europe, they’re playing as if they’re invincible in home and away. I wonder what is the problem to do same level of performance in England. I have one theory about it. Right now, England is the capital of European football and most of the giant games are situated in England. So, it has become perhaps harder to perform in England compared to Europe.

Surely, coach Arsene Wenger is very happy today. He has suffered a lot of criticism in the last few months for the poor performance of his players. There has been repeated calls to By some big celebrity players spending millions of dollars. He has resisted all the temptation to do so and he feels that his young players Will become a great asset for the future. He also thinks that economic recession might affect English premier league and spending too much money and this moment is perhaps not the right move. I agree with him With all my heart and I really wish to see that he can become successful with his strategy. He’s the right coach for arsenal and I feel that he’s the best coach in one football today. No other coach can even dream of having the same level of success With so little money. 

Arsene Wenger Hit out on William Gallas Being Photographed with cigarette

A photograph of Arsenal captain William Gallas holding a cigarette in his mouth while leaving a night club caused Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger to become furious at the captain. Wenger, who maintains strict discipline on diet, health as well as lifestyle of the players, was in anger while commenting on the photograph of Gallas. The French manager clearly he did not like what Gallas did and he felt that as a club captain William Gallas had some responsibility.

Canadian Press reported:

"I didn't see the picture. I have been informed, but I don't like that," Wenger said Friday. "I will check that with him. He has a responsibility as captain of Arsenal Football Club. That cannot be accepted.

"It is a public job with a public responsibility and therefore it is exactly the same for everybody."

I also agree with Wenger in this regard. As a club captain, he must show some responsibility and make himself as a leader not only on the field, but also off the field. Moreover, as a professional footballer he can not break his diet during the season and can not do what he is restricted from doing. Last year, Gallas was criticized when he refused to leave the ground following a 2-2 draw at Birmingham.

There is no doubt, William Gallas is still one of the best centre defenders in the premier league. I hope, he will understand that he has a lot to offer for his club.

William Gallas: Cigarette and Captaincy!

Smoking cigarettes, is not a big deal in many countries in the world. However, it is not praised in the mainstream media anywhere. So, when Arsenal captain William Gallas was photographed as smoking a cigarette naturally, it created a lot of negative publicity in the media. The coach Arsense Wenger is not happy with this matter but he thinks that William Gallas is the right man at the helm of arsenal.

I think that most supporters have the same attitude too. I’m not a big fan of smoking and I really wish that players like William Gallas become more careful not to be photographed with a cigarette. This would send the wrong signal to the teenagers. The best thing to have a while you were being photographed is perhaps a book.

Arsenal Winger Theo Walcott: ‘Other Teams Will Scare Us Now’

Arsenal pulled off one of the most memorable win in Istanbul on Tuesday night after beating Fenerbahce 5-2 in a Champions League clash, handing the Turkish champions their first home defeat in 16 months. After Arsenal’s imperious form at home, Arsenal winger Theo Walcott thinks that other teams will fear Arsenal from now. Walcott himself also scored the second of the five goals. Seeing a young side of Arsenal, where average age of the players is 22, thrashing Fenerbahce on the road, Walcott believes, other teams will now be scared to play against Arsenal. He also feels that Arsenal wants to give out this impression to the other teams and he is now hopeful that the Gunners will keep performing like that.

Arsenal was missing a number of first team players through injury for the trip to Istanbul. Specially, their defense line up was mostly affected by injury with Captain William Gallas, Kolo Toure and Bacary Sagna, all of whom are regular in the Arsenal’s first team line up, were ruled out of the match against Fenerbahce. However, the young players played excellently well which must have made Arsene Wenger and the fans happy.

However, the most important thing is that Arsenal must show consistency if they really want to end their wait for silverware this season. It is definitely an inspirational victory, considering Fenerbahce’s formidable home record. However, Arsenal got big margin victories number of times this season, but sometimes they lost their momentum and suffered two defeats already in the premier league. Alike Wenger, I also think that Arsenal can not afford to make many errors in the course of the season, if they really want to put an end to their trophy drought this season. However, I have to admit that it was a pleasant experience to see Arsenal playing at the top of their level and outclassing the opposition in almost every position on the field. I hope Arsenal will continue it and will not make as many mistakes as it would drop them from the title race.
