Morning,
Tonight we have a big, big, BIG match against Bayern
Munich. Some might say it is so big it is insurmountable. However, if Barca can
turn around a 2-0 against AC Milan than anything is possible... Pfffffff ha ha
ha sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!
But it could happen... but it won't! But I can still hope
and dream, but them dreams might turn into nightmares... Aagghhh!!!
Is it worth going down the pub, spending all my weekend
money, just to lose, then have a stinking hangover to deal with on a Thursday
and be brassic for the rest of the week? If we win then I can justify it.
Perhaps I should meet the situation half way. Go to the pub but don't drink
alcohol. If we win I can have a nice whisky safe in the knowledge that it won't
blow all my money, my mind or the rest if my week.
Champion’s league matches are always exciting no matter
what the situation is. We are dining at the top table in European football,
playing possibly one of the best teams we have ever played against. This is
going to be a huge test for our players.
The pressure is off us slightly, because no one thinks we
have a hope in hell of getting past Bayern. We still have to be at our best
though, there are still 90 minutes of football to play. Technically we can
still progress, I just hope we don't get our arses handed to us on a bratwurst
plate covered in Sauerkraut.
If there was a glimmer of hope it was that Ribery and a
couple of his pals are injured for the match and it is seen as a big loss that
three of their key players won't be playing for Bayern. The glimmer was short
lived though as news that Jack is out with an ankle injury. It is his other
ankle so let’s hope it's just a knock and he is back, fresh and chomping at the
bit for the run in.
We also have to deal with Poldi being out and Nacho being
cup tied. So that glimmer of hope has been Diaby’d right in the balls. Gibbs is
supposedly back but with his previous injuries it is surely only a matter of
time until he is side lined again.
Just to compound the situation further there has been a
VERY strange decision to leave Szcz at home and play Fabianski. I say it is a
strange decision, I think it is properly mental. I am not the boss though, so
hopefully Wenger has made a decision that will get the best out of everyone for
the remainder of the season. Fabianski in my opinion has always looked a bit
rubbish but perhaps this is his chance to get noticed by another club, put in a
good display and there isn’t a much bigger shop window to be in.
I hope we play with the hand break off and even if we concede
a couple and go out, I hope we can knock a few past them and make it a good
match to watch. We are capable of playing excellent, attractive football. We
have nothing to lose and everything to win. Anything can happen in football. It
is only half time. England vs Germany.
We were going to do a “we’re on our way” podcast but due to
illness, commitments and me starting a new job, we were unable to find the time.
There will be one for the next match.
I wish the lads the very best of luck tonight. Be proud, be
strong, be confident!
Come on you Arsenal!!
