New Signings Same Old Arsenal!

When you see the hope finally returning to Emirates, it goes far far away. Dark times are coming indeed. The fans were all up for the today's match. Every body started hoping that things are going to turn around for Arsenal now but same old story. History repeating it self. The history which we witnessed in Carlin cup final and most importantly at Old trafford when we got thrashed for 8-2. That was the champions thrashing us but now we got a 4-3 thrash by the team residing at the bottom of the table.

Now Steve Keane would be enjoying his survival while we the gunner fans are all left in awe as what actually happened in the game. You must know this that this is not the first time so it was not some thing impossible. But unexpected? yes it was indeed. With Mertesacker and Santos coming in all of us were full of hope that our defense finally got some experience and physicality as well. The results of last two games showed us that things could be turning out right. But today's performance has literally exposed the fragility of our team now. We are the weakest now! and we have to accept that. There is no running away now. We have conceded 14 goals in 5 games! This has been our worst start to the league since 1982-83 season!
Now till when would we listen to the claims by Wenger that Kocielny is learning and he will prove to be great.  
Yes he played well against Dortmund but football is about consistency. Trophies are way out of our reach now. And it is time we stop thinking about trophies because they won't be coming to us in near future. Now to talk about the game. First game by Yokubu. Our defence was way over the line. They were playing outside the D line. It only took one through pass by the opposition and there you go first goal. Second goal reminded many of us about the last year's Arsenal. Set piece goal. Simple volley by the opposition and Song put it in. The camera showed the ball got in after getting deflected from his knee. It seemed as if he wanted to guide the ball in. Poor defending week in week out.
At every press conference Wenger says one thing; " People forget that we had best away record". Well now we all won't ever forget our away record at least not in the near future. The next game is against Totenham and all I can infer is hoplesness among the gunners.
Six year trophy drought but all of us showed confidence in Wenger that he could turn things for us again. Long gone the times of invincibles and Thierry Henry. They are gone now. Nasri, Fabregas gone now. All we are left with is to see bunch of amateur defenders doing own goals and sinking the last bit of hope in every other gunner fan.
The third goal came of again with a set piece , a corner this time. The new zonal defending tactics showed its worth. No man marking and there you go one simple ball in and Yakubu scores his second. He was offside but it was a very tough call. So crying over the refrees decisions holds no ground. It is time we raise our voices against the club policies and tactics. What is happening to once EPL giants. With that game losing we could will soon be joining bottom three. The once champions will now be fighting for survival. And all we ginners could do is watch our beloved Arsenal as it falls and crumbles to pieces.
Desperate times for the gunners. The ray of hope came from Arteta and new signings all diminshing in the poor performance of our defenders. Kocielny repeated history at last, did own goal again and literally that was completely under no pressure. The guy acted as if sleeping and ball deflected from his foot right into the net. This has been the story with Kocielny since he joined Arsenal.
Last year Evra claimed that Arsenal is nothing but a training ground and it pretty much looks as if he was right after all. We are losing all our good players. We don't have money for good players or should we say our policy don't allow us buying new players. Our medical team has no clue that why do the players get injured day in day out. Our manager always stays optimistic despite knowing that how much bad things are going for us. Fans are crying over every other game. In short, Arsenal is going down and the sooner we realize this, the sooner we will be able to hold it from vanquishing and if we don't change our policies than I see a very grim future for us gunners.
A sad day today Your'e thoughts?
