Why Mr Wenger, Behave Yourself!

It seems an eternity since the last football match in the Premiership and in this crazy world of games every three or four days I suppose that a fortnight is a long time. Today we face Bolton at the Emirates, forgetting for a moment that foolish Megson fellow that is in charge of them we should collect another three points today. We all know that maximum points from ‘easy’ games is vital if we are to overhaul Aston Villa and regain our place in the top four. The players, and Adebayor in particular have been harping on all week about fighting for this and that n never giving up, so let’s see them walk the walk for once! Plus I had a dream last night that Arsenal beat Fulham 18-5 at the Emirates so that has to be a good omen right?!
We have injuries to Silvestre and Gallas, both of whom ar out for three weeks, giving a chance to Kolo and Johann to carve out a mean defensive partnership. I am over the moon that the manager has stated that Kolo Toure is not going to be transferred, we owe it to our last remaining Invincible to help him back to the form he (and we) once enjoyed. He also has the added incentive of being Captain in the absence of Fabregas, a job I’m sure that he is very proud of having. Toure and Djourou haven’t had much of a chance to show what they have got playing together so I hope that they prove to be a winning formula. I prefer them both to Gallas and Silvestre and would rather that they played if they are good enough.
Mr Wenger has also said that Eduardo is fit at long last. Congratulations to the little fella, his hard work and optimism should be an example to everyone. He has only played 45 minutes in 9 months though so the chances of him playing any part today look pretty slim!
The manager proved himself expert in the art of the tease yesterday, not in the sexy burlesque sense of the word but in the keep the fans guessing and hoping about transfers sense of the word. Heneither confirmed or denied anything about Andrei Arshavin. Although most who have listened to Wenger down the years will recognise that something is happening with that story. He was also very coy about other transfer targets we may be going for. Aside from categorically denying that we would be bringing in a defender he didn’t say very much at all. One thing is for certain though, the club are trying to bring in one or maybe two established players and damn it I find that very exciting! No doubt more red herrings will abound next week, but maybe, just maybe we might actually see some transfer activity in the coming few days.
Burgervan Prediction: Arsenal 3 – 1 Bolton
