Can Arsenal expect any different in three of their remaining away trips?



More butchers still to come...

McLeish: How many players will we lose at Birmingham?


Only after the match had long finished last Saturday did it dawn on me. We still have to play away at Birmingham, Blackburn, and Hull.

And that thought terrifies me, and no doubt it will have Arsene up at night until the games are fulfilled. We all know what McLeish’s men are capable of, so there will be no surprises at St Andrews. And I have no doubt the Fat Sam would delight in seeing another Arsenal player on the deck with his foot hanging off. How much longer before a player loses a leg playing for Arsenal, and how much longer will Cesc put up with looking down on a team-mate with a limb in shreds? He will surely be the next target for these brain dead thugs. One thing is for sure, he would get far better protection in Spain, and that's a fact that could prove decisive come July/August.

So that’s three major bone breaks caused by "animals" in four years. Can you imagine the media if an Arsenal player was running around breaking opponents’ legs? It doesn't bear thinking about to be honest. Once again Arsene Wenger is criticized for defending his own players. I'm amazed he is still managing in England. He must be the most disrespected manager in the league. Simply because he won't share a glass of red with these arbiters of anti-football. C***s!!!!

Just looking at the papers last Sunday morning filled me with rage, anger and deep sadness, so much I nearly shed a tear for Aaron. All because he is simply a much better, fitter, faster and more talented footballer than Ryan Shawcross.

And to add insult to serious injury, he could have pulled on an England shirt this week. Unbelievable. And I thought that Capello was intelligent.

The team’s response after the injury at Stoke was truly stunning considering what they had once again just seen. The bastards were well and truly put in their place by the end. We have ten games to fight through, and I have no doubt that fight is the right word. Our more difficult games will be less physical because at least West Ham, Man City and the Spuds try to play in the right way. We have a real chance now, and what happened last Saturday will surely only serve to galvanise the squad even more.

Let’s win it... for Aaron.
