That's now 7 wins out of 8 in the league and just one defeat in 12 - even though we played really well against City. Our great run of form has seen us climb to within 2 pts of 4th now. The team have really started to gel now after their difficult start to the season, which was not surprising given the amount of new signings that were thrown together right at the start due to injuries. But they have worked it out and made a remarkable impact, credit to manager and players for turning it around. Our new signings are firmly embedded into the team now, and with Vermaelen back in the team and Wilshere coming back in the new year too, I think we'll get stronger. Gervinho and Chamakh are off to the ACN in January, if Wenger doesn't sign a striker, then I think we might see more of OXO with Walcott pushing forward. We now face a couple of tricky away ties at Villa and of course City, before then an opportunity to rest some players for Olympiakos before facing Everton at home. November was an unusually good month for us - Let's carry our good form into December.
Agreed Some of the players said that they were definitely tired for the Fulham game, not an excuse, but great to see us slot right back into winning ways.
I'm booked to take the Missus out to eat on Tuesday. At the time I didn't realise we had a game..... Might be back for last 30 minutes or so recording it isn't the same. Damn.
Long trip to Greece and back too, but I think players like Oxo, Benayoun, Frimpong, Coquelin, Park will relish the chance to play in this game.
If I suggest changing it - she'll arrange a powercut on the night. perhaps I can avoid hearing the result and start the playback when I get home. Grrrr.
Surprised Arteta is scoring goals, We need more goal scoring midfielders to make teams think and think again about who they need to marl tightly.
We need to go out to Greece and restore some pride in North London football after the Spuds embarrassed us last week!
OK you just shocked/surprised the fook out of me. How do you know about Marley Marl PISKIE - spill the beans !!!
You did read the boring personal chat about growing up in Lewisham didn't you? Early 80's south London was a B-Boy hot-bed! People like Marley Marl, Biz Markie and Scott La Rock were the first genuine street music artists I'd ever heard - dats dem beans.
Harsh I think. Yes Wigan aren't worldbeaters but we can only beat who the fixture list throws ups and to go on the road an win 4-0 is a solid effort. We've slipped up once since our horror start (Fulham) other than that we've been very consistent. Long may it continue
