Her er Barsene Wanker sine tanker om lørdagens kamp :lol: :
Dear Arsenal supporter,
Saturday?s draw with Newcastle was a bit of a repetition of what we have seen until now this season.
Out of seven Premiership games at Emirates Stadium we have been 1-0 down four times. You cannot afford that. Also, you just cannot drop as many points as we do at home. We have shown until now we can win the big games, but you also have to win at home against the teams who will not fight for the championship. There have been a few times now that we did not - and that only gives hope to the teams who come here.
On Saturday we gave Newcastle too much to hold on to. We did well in the second half but we need that focus in every game that we play.
We just make it difficult for ourselves and, as a team, we have to learn very quickly. We have to be patient and not make a mistake defensively.
I still feel there is a lot of potential in this team. It will come out because they have a good spirit and a good mentality. They want to do well, but have to learn some important ingredients in the game that make the team successful at the top level - and at the moment we cannot master that.
I was asked after Saturday?s game if we can still win the title. I feel it is certainly not impossible. We just have to fight to win the next game and see where that takes us. If players want to play regularly for Arsenal and they give up when we are still in November, there is just no point in any of us being here. The other teams can slip up as well.
One of the biggest disappointments on Saturday was the injury suffered by Robin van Persie. He jarred his foot in the process of shooting at the end of the first half and did not come out for the second half.
I must say that his foot does not look good. We will have to wait to consider the results of the X-ray but it looks like he will be out of the game with Hamburg on Tuesday night.
Thanks for your support.
