Face reality guys we just are one of the pack now, no longer can we look forward to challenging for the title, no matter how much AW talks it up. And before all of you Rose coloured glasses supporters start shouting about how great AW is, hey sure he has achieved great things in the past, but that is it it is in the past, he has had 3 years now to rebuild the side and it is no closer to winning the lague than it was 2 seasons ago when things started to go downhill. I would love to be proved wrong but if it were only a temporary 1 or 2 game problem then I would say the same....but how long will we wait before we look and play the part again....5 years, 10 years or longer as we become a Liverpool???? At first they thought the same as we are now when they hadn't won the league for a couple of seasons.....now it has been 16 years ....do we really want that to happen?? I started watching the gunners in 1960 after they hadn't won a trophy for 7 years and I had to wait until 1970 until we won another.....I will tell you guys it is not good being one of the pack and knowing that you are just playing for just the highest league position you can every year before Christmas!!! All things taken into account - no it wasn’t a foul in any way…..and we got a win, great however, in saying that we are still looking a very ordinary side, this was not a case of winning ugly it was a case of 2 fairly evenly matched sides playing poorly and one of them getting the goal.

I've seen a lot of interviews with Wenger and at times the press seem to try and provoke Arsene but making some stupid comment or asking a stupid question. It happened last season when Arsenal didn't field an English player in the Champions League (despite the fact Cole, Campbell and Theo were actually injured) and the press sided with that twat Alan Pardew - and look where he is now! And even more annoying was this week - when Sky pointed out a non-foul by Fabregas on Camera and they didn't even mention the Cole foul on Hleb on Sunday until Arsene brought it up!! It's hard not to thing the media have a problem with Arsenal when I think about the West Ham coverage where Sky were up in arms about the little scuffle between Arsene Wenger and Pardew. They didn't even talk about the clear penalty on Hleb or anything else except the stupid 'fight' on the touchlines. It was like Wenger had killed someone or something. What the hell is their problem!? You do wonder what’s going on with the media sometimes.

Maybe we should just take it as a back-handed compliment about our relative ambitions but I truly despise comments such as the one at half time yesterday that went something along the lines of, "To be fair Wigan haven't done an awful lot wrong, it's up to Arsenal to come here & make something happen". Odd that, because whenever we're at home & trying to break down a 1 9 1 formation camped in front of goal & stiffling the life out of the game I could swear I've heard on umpteen occasions that it's always up to Arsenal, as the home side, to make things happen & that it's up to the away side just to avoid a loss.

"Djourou was one of four Arsenal players who did not play in the draw against Chelsea at the weekend, Kolo Toure, Julio Baptista and Theo Walcott being the others." So, who was that big guy wearing the No. 20 shirt, with Djourou on the back??? Well, try this from the Daily Mail.

I was thinking EXACTLY the same thing. The bitter irony here is that Sky try to play the good guys by highlighting things like racism and violence; but in actuality you can see that the ONLY reason they do this is to create hype... which is disgusting and makes them just as bad as the offenders (when there are offenders of course... when Sky don't make them up). DON'T LISTEN TO ANYTHING THIS FARSCIAL CORPORATION SAY. SWITCH OFF AFTER THE GAME AND CHAT WITH YOUR MATES INSTEAD. APART FROM HAVING YOUR HEAD FILLED UP WITH USELESS CRAP, BY WATCHING SKY SPORTS YOU ARE ALSO IN DANGER OF BEING TURNED INTO STONE BY THE HIDEOUS GLARE OF RICHARD KEYS / BEING DRIVEN INSANE BY JAMIE '2 + 2 = RED' REDKNAPP.
