Tired of Arsenal



This story just keeps going and going... and I am a bit over it now. I think Barca would benefit greatly from Fabregas in the midfield. And I don't think Fabregas will end up like Henry. Fabregas has the ability to change the tempo of the game.  This for obvious reasons is why the Gunners don't want to lose him... and I would suggest also because they want to be seen as the team not to fold under the pressure of Barca... unfortunately for Arsenal... they wish they could give the same performance on field. Maybe they still have a thorn in their side? 

Here is the latest article I read about how Arsenal still refuses to talk about Fabregas:

I think every player so far from Barcelona has made a statement of how Fabregas has Barca DNA which only infuriates Arsenal and their fans more and more.  All this talk of 'tapping up' and the rest of that bullsh*t.  In the end the deal is made by the management between Arsenal and Barcelona.  And if the Arsenal fans think that Fabregas' feelings are not his own and is that easily influenced by statements made by Barcelona players then they don't deserve to have him.  And if Arsenal chooses not to discuss the sale of Fabregas due to the way in which Barcelona has handled things then thats their right to do so... but the last thing I would want in my team is to have a player who's heart isn't in it. For this reason Arsenal will continue on without success. 

Arsene Wenger is definately a quality manager... however I think his French pride is getting in the way of doing what is best for his team. Anyway I am not sure Fabregas will call Camp Nou his home this season but we expect to see him in the coming seasons... 

I would like to see Fabregas win a trophy... unfortunately with the way Arsenal has behaved... I hope he doesn't with them.

Welcome - my first post





Welcome to my blog. Being my first post let me credit the side image to ICON who are fortunate to sell authentic signed Messi shirts... unfortunately sold out though!!

This blog is just another means for me to vent on the week of football... and anything else I want to crap on about.  If you haven't picked up on it already... my blog has a Barca / Messi theme. I am a Messi fanatic... a Barca fanatic... a proud Barca member... so losing sleep thinking about La Liga... especially now that Mourinho has taken over Real Madrid. This La Liga victory will be even sweeter than the last.

Congratulationis to Spain!!! Being of Greek/Australian background I was optimistically hoping maybe Greece could pull off a Euro 2004 trick however I definately favoured Spain or Argentina for obvious reasons. And wouldn't say this was the most riveting World Cup... but the best team won especially after that dismal performance by the Dutch. For Spain to stick to their magnificent game and come through just re-enforces how great the game is.

The countdown is now on till La Liga and the EPL... and of course Champions League. As for the EPL... call me a bandwagon jumper or whatever but I have come to support Man City within the Premier League. For a number of reasons... my dislike for Man Utd... the fact that some sheik came along and has given that extra hope to all City supporters... and in the end... money wont make the team... no matter how much he spends... the team will need to gel and the players will have to play as a team.

But in the end there is only Barca. Forca Barca. Of course its also great that my gf follows Barca now as well... even if it is just to have a perv on Pep Guardiola.
