Just the game! & Wilshere's inspiring words.

I'm was planning (and failed) to write today's blog early as we approach the Chelsea game as for the couple of hours before I'll be too nervous to write anything and at about six o clock I'm either going to be too happy, too depressed or too angry to write anything other than a pointless rant.

I've been browsing the blogsphere and news channels for Arsenal news to share with you good folk and realised there seems to be almost nothing about. The Chelsea game has taken over the entire Arsenal world and you know what? I love that.

I am not hearing stories of who we are about to buy. There is no mention of the the player we are about to sell for a ridiculously low price. Not a single whisper of any player's DNA (Get over yourselves Barca!!!!) and not one single player is being interviewed because our captain has slept with their wife (Yes, you JT you dirty thug). The point I'm getting at is that during the season this is how our Arsenal news should be, just the game.

The only news doing the rounds other than match previews is one of our players saying how great another one of our players is. The most recent is Samir Nasri praising Chamakh. Now of course all these quotes are in interviews so a public face has to be had and all the right things need to be said but then the world introduced twitter and some players in our young squad couldn't resist joining in on the trend. Jack Wilshere, Cesc, and Denilson are all on twitter, I think the Chamakh account is real and a load of our youth players are on there too. This is an excellent way for us fans to get a little view of what are players are like away from the press interviews for example Cesc's good luck messages to the team and letting us know he's gutted not to be playing, but I'll leave this incredibly short post with my favorite tweet, possibly ever, which was one I came across from little Jack Wilshere a couple of days ago, he tweeted

" Feeling the pressure? No way. Feeling ruthless. Ready 2 burn down the bridge! "

If that's not enough to get you up for today's battle at the bridge I don't know what is. I hope the rest of the team have that much fire in their bellies.

Back tomorrow with a match review hopefully praising our boys performance and celebrating being only 1 point of the top spot.

Goonerfish.
