Three games in...

It's three games into the season for the Arsenal (4 for nearly everyone else) and the boys still have not managed a win. They've not won at home, they've not won away; within the EPL that is. On the European stage, they're doing just fine having slotted Dinamo Zagreb to a 2-1 loss at the Emirates. Yes, just fine on the European front. But, if you can't win the EPL, where does that leave you? I'm positive it's not the announcer's fault. I'm equally positive it's not the length of the grass, although Wenger is just as unhappy about the height & depth of the pitch (so fix it already, it's your damn stadium, correct the issue and move on; this is a no whinging zone). So what is it? The Cole saga? Which, by the way, continues as the wanker serialises his "book" in the Times. The Reyes/Baptista swap-a-roo? The Walcott & Denilson hype? Maybe, the Arsenal just aren't as good as they used to be? Now, as I started this, we are only 3 games in; there are 35 more games to go in the Premiership and we will make up the ground. But, for my money, Mr. Wenger needs to get his team gelling on and off the pitch in ENGLAND. I realize the monetary need for Champion's League football and sure as hell not advocating a slow down of our progress on that stage, but dammit, the boys need to win a game in the Premiership. The game this upcoming weekend against ManU(re) would a great way to do that. That being said, the Arsenal are on their way to Hamburg to take a bite out of that little team in the first leg of this round. They are, however, making the trip sans Henry who picked up a mysterious foot injury in training yesterday. Yikes! Of course, since he's only scored once for us in the EPL and is still looking for his form, maybe the injury and subsequent rest from football duty is a good thing. Furthermore, it would appear that Arsene Wenger is not a fan of Ashley Cole's writing style while Fabulous Fabregas has agreed, verbally, to put pen to paper on a new 8-year contract with the Arsenal. In a radio interview, Cesc said: 'Everything with my new contract is agreed and next week I will sign it. ' That, my good friends, is excellent news for the Gunners. Fabregas will, no doubt, be one of the forces in EPL in a few short years. The boy has already gone from a no-starter, no-name to a star in the Spanish side. That's damned impressive. Right, that's all for now. I'm sick, my head feels like it's a mile wide and i don't believe in 6000 year old dinosaurs. Right. Ohh, and feel free to send killer frisbees my way. Wastrel On.
