Flying Without Wings

Sorry for all you non-footie enthusiasts but today’s entry will be mainly on that.

Dammit, I probably shouldn’t have titled my last entry that because now we’re really in pain. Robin’s wings have been temporarily clipped, or rather, he has ankle injury. With Nick out, we could potentially face striker problems. This shortly after Robin insisting he’s not a natural striker like Torres or Dogbark.

I’m refusing to panic. We are not a two-man team and we have always been facing injury issues anyway. We had to make do before without Dudú for 18 months, Rosický for more than a season, Cesc for almost four months... and this time, it’s no different. We simply have to make do. I have confidence that the rest of the team would step up their efforts especially with difficult games ahead and prove that we can fly without wings, or rather without Robin. Ramsey, for instance, has shown why Wenger chose to sign him; he was man of the match in the Wales-Scotland match over the weekend with two assists and one goal. I’m praying Captain Marvel will not be injured when playing for his country and Xavi, can you please stop sounding like a broken record already? Perhaps next time you would want to listen to other people’s too like Reyes.

Whoops-a-daisy, the pictures of those Arsenal stars giving us the warm and fuzzies apparently shouldn’t be shown until 18 November 2009 for legal reasons. Please don’t sue me.. will offer football commentary for free. You can apparently view the videos here and here (I can’t because of the firewall).
