Once upon a time I was blowing storms

The thoughts that probably came into Wenger`s mind after humiliating defeat to Manu, or at least that`s what the fans would like to think like: Admitting defeat. Because so far Arsene Wenger hasn`t still admitted that he has done major wrongs since the departure of Vieira, not even Henry. From that moment, it`s still downwards. 

As many football fans know Arsenal has a strict wage structure and a limit for transfer fees and this might be a block to transfer experienced players for Wenger but recently he quoted as "I`ll spend even 40 million pounds if the player is right" and even he continued with "I don`t want to spend too big amounts on average players". 

Well, if you would ask to many pundits probably they`ll tell you that Arsenal is now consisting of many average players. Still, there were some quality players like Nasri and Fabregas but they were kinda the latest leaves that have left and they also dropped. In my opinion, it`s just RVP and Vermaelen are the ones who can be in a team that`s racing for the title.

It`s really pity but also annoying to see Arsenal`s status now and the reactions of Wenger. He says that after Manu disgrace that he lacked 8 senior players but actually forgets that it was kinda the reserve team of Manu that he was beaten to. There were maybe 6 players that were not in the team of last year and the first 11. Finding excuses and ignoring the facts will not improve Arsenal and I believe Wenger is actually aware of it but what he wanted to was to protest the current football manner in terms of money stating that it is killing the smaller teams and though improvement of the league or the contest. However, I believe he chose the wrong way to protest it. He still could have bought very good players with small amount of moneys but he didn`t do so and it seems it`s going to cost more for both him and Arsenal.

Traditional Everton beginning started!

The final match of the gameweek was, for me, a very obvious one, in terms of result. Tottenham is having a midfield injury crisis right now and ManU at home was a definite victory. Anderson and Cleverley started really good to the season and I believe Fergie will use them very much for the league and use Carrick and Fletcher for the Champs League. Tottenham needs to sort out Modric`s situation definitely.

For this gw, Wolves-Fulham match was an eye-catching one for me as I in my former writing stated that these two teams will surprise this year. Murphy seems getting very old and Jol has to replace him with someone else because with Etuhu playing next to him they obviously lack playmaking as well as creativity a lot in midfield. Wolves started really well and everything seems fine for them but they have not been tested by the better teams so far. Still, if they continue this form against the lesser teams they`ll not worry about relegation this year; pushing through mid-table. This might be Jarvis`s year.

Everton`s traditional beginning to the league started one week later due to the events happened in Tottenham area of London. I assumed a draw for this match but Everton is surely missing a quality forward. Beckford is just not Everton quality nor his workrate. Qpr also didn`t create so many chances but they were lucky to find one. 

Villas-Boas is trying to do all the right things imho. His preference Kalou over Malouda and Torres over Drogba is simply showing that he wants to build a hardworking team. But transitions are never easy and this will also take some blood but the sooner it`ll be, means a better Chelsea team we`ll see this season. 

Arsenal is in serious trouble and in addition to the necessity of not selling Nasri, they should buy at least 4 players to compete for Champs League spot, not for the title. The match was like Liverpool home against Arsenal.

Alex McLeish seems to be succesfull at Aston Villa, which is signaled by the preference of Agbonlahor playing on the right flank which I believe was a clever one. They`ll get points easier at home but their away record will show their position in the league.

When we pass gameweek two, City and United are clear favourites of championship but what City needs to do again is not depending on the individual skills. I just wonder what they`ll do if Silva gets injured or Dzeko. Will Balotelli and Johnson be enough to be trusted? If they also can turn to a system team like Utd, then they really have the great chance of pursuing the title. Barry`s goal and Milner`s assists show that this transition will occur but I wonder how many losses will they get due to the Champs League.

Am I ever going to be better? (Arsenal-Newcastle)

Arsenal is really in a serious trouble this year where the deterioration began after the Champions League final against Barcelona. Since then, six years of cupless era is enough for the fans to be angry very much and they are definitely right to be so. And now they also lost Fabregas and will also lose Nasri and there will be really too little difference between them and a team like Fulham or Sunderland. Clichy is gone and no other left back is bought as was the case when Cole left. Gervinho seems to be like Chamakh and even if he wouldn`t be it will not be enough fighting for the title.

The match was really boring which is indicated by the result 0-0. Both teams had few chances and for Arsenal the likes of Ramsey and Rosicky didn`t seem fit. Song`s stupid play also will cause lots of trouble for Arsenal and he should know that he was very lucky that the referee didn`t see what he did to Barton. There is just a little hope due to Van Persie but the hope`s to qualify for the Champions League. I really am believing is that the race for 4th will be between L`pool and Tottenham. This might really be the last season of Wenger and there are some reports in the media suggesting him to go to PSG next year. I really feel sorry for Arsenal fans for what they`ve become.
