Some good news, some bad news & petty Moyes

Morning Gooners,


I was trying to think of a gentle, polite and respectable intro to today's blog but all I could come up with is this: uh-hum *clears throat* Isn't David Moyes a ridiculously pathetic, whining little girl!!

The Ginger Scot from the blue side of Merseyside has been having a proper cry stating that he over heard Cesc Fabregas asking how much the referee got paid to not see the three yard gap that meant Saha was offside when he put the Toffees 1-0 up in the week. He said:

"Cesc questioned Everton's integrity by suggesting we had possibly given money to the ref,"

Then when Arsene pointed out That Moyes was talking out of his arse, he responded with this:

"Arsene seems to think that I haven't seen or heard it, but you have to decide who you believe - David Moyes or Arsene Wenger - and I'm happy for people to make their own mind up on that."  

Don't worry you lying petty pillock, we have!!

Moving away from my rant, sad news has been received about on Fabianski. The poor guy has been ruled out for the season after having to undergo surgery. I feel so sorry for him, he has taken his chance this year and proved so many fans and pundits wrong and shown his qualities in the Arsenal goal with only one slight error this season ironically against today's opponents when he misjudged a cross a lost out to now Liverpool striker Andy Carroll. I wrote on a blog months ago that I thought he's be our first choice keeper by the end of Christmas and if he had remained fit he would be strongly established as our number one. Get well soon.

Silver lining though for everyone except Fabianski is that Szczesny has come into the side and excelled. He has only conceded a single goal in his last three games and has looked as solid as keeper twice his age. I really hope he takes his chance and help us towards some silverware.

Good news from the Arsenal camp though is that Vermaelen finally looks like he's on his way back to fitness. Arsene Wenger has said he is "making very good progress so he should (be back in) three to four weeks"
It should bring him back in time for the return leg against Barcelona , I doubt he'll play against "Cesc's club" but it's great to know we'll have TV, Kos and Djourou for the final push in the title race.

Anyway, it's time to start looking forward to today's game against Newcastle. We all know what happened last time we met so there's no need to to go over it again but St James will not be an easy place to visit but if we had to pick a time to play them then 6 days after they have lost their best player  followed shortly by their second choice striker getting injured would be a good shout.

I think we'll see Andrei Arshavin get a rare league start today but I think our 'lazy' Russian is starting to find his confidence again and if he gets the nod I really think he can make the difference for us. With Man Utd almost certain to get the three points against Wolves (probably scoring the winner in the 93rd minute) our boys really need to be on their game and ensure the we keep our concentration and pick up the win.

I'm off to find a decent stream and enjoy the game, you can follow me on twitter for random mumblings.

Till next time,
Goonerfish.
