We’ve had some good results and a shit result in pre-season but i’m not going to start getting all doomy and gloomy about a loss away to valencia in pre-season as it doesn’t matter one bit, Liverpool have lost nearly every game in pre-season but sky sports are still up their arses, yet again we’re overlooked, touted to finish fourth if we’re lucky even fifth by some but do i care? no.

Manchester United lost yesterday in their first real match 4-1 on penalties to Chelsea and to bhe honest i thought that was their best chance of silverware this season, oh wellit was funny to watch although i do hate Chelsea just as much.

Anyway down to what does matter: The Arsenal, not a lot to talk about for the last few weeks which is lucky because my internet problems continue to try and cripple my blogs but i’m hoping that this time i’ve got it sorted. The only real news the last few weeks has been bad news: Nasri out until october with a broken leg, Rosicky out for 6 weeks with a hamstring injury again (i feel sorry for him because he is a really good player and would really boost the team if he could stay fit but like others i just don’t think we can rely on him too much) other than that Wenger has expressed an interest in Hangeland, Vieira and Chamack but won’t sign any of them until the dying embers of the transfer window and after last season’s fiasco i ouldn’t be suprised if we had to go with what we’ve got but i’d be happy if we got any two of tyhose players in (preferably Vieira and Hangeland).

Team Prediction: My first team and bench (from the players that we have as i write this) would be:

Almunia

Sagna, Vermaelen, Djourou, Clichy

Walcott, Fabregas, Arshavin, Eduardo

Bendtner, Van Persie

Bench: Fabianski, Gallas, Gibbs, Wilshere, Vela, Eboue and Denilson

I admit it’s not the orthodox team but that’s just my personal preference i think the team is more likely to line-up:                                                                  Almunia

Sagna, Vermaelen, Gallas, Clichy

Walcott, Fabregas, Denilson, Arshavin

Bendtner, Van Persie

Bench: Fabiabnski, Gibbs, Djourou, Eduardo, Diaby, Eboue and Wilshere

To be honest6 it’s not a bad team but with Hangeland and Vieira it’s a much better team and i don’t see where Chamack would fit in really either but Arsene knows.

Season Prediction: I think we can win it this season, i also think that we have to win it this season, i think that the only way we can stay in touch with the big spending teams is if we win the league or champions league this season, and i think we will win the league it’s about time we made the doubters sit back and take notice of our club instead of just trundling along saying ‘next year’ or ‘youth polocies’, personally i think we will win the league and get to the semi’s of the F.A cup and champions league and maybe win the carling cup. I also don’t think celtic will be too much of a problem in the champions league, Paul Merson (used to be a legend in my eyes, but seems to be falling inline with the sky sports crowd recently) thinks we’ll struggle but aslong as we come away with a draw we’ll be fine, and with the negative influence of Adebay-whore now gone we can push on and i’m sure Arsene’s got a few tricks up his sleeve.

Player to Watch: Andrei Arshavin: not a hard choice, i thought last season that Arshavin could be better than Ronaldo and i think this season he will prove it, i think he is quite capable of carrying this Arsenal team if needs be so heads up gooners and here’s hoping for a good season.
