Arsenal 1 - 0 Man City

People in the forums kept talking about how we shouldn't have criticized Pires and Henry that harshly for the penalty incident. Some say we should take it as an entertainment. Some say we would've plauded them had it worked. Yes, they are damn right that the press and others would've plauded the two Frenchmen had it worked.

But not me, not when we were only 1 - 0 up, not when we were more than 10 points behind Chelsea, not when it was intended to celebrate TH14's 186 goals. Did he think he own the club? And that's the part that I was most annoyed with.

I can't blame Pires for his 'numb feet', we all know how unreliable he has been lately after all. I can't blame Henry for being so cocky. I can only blame Wenger for failing to stamp his authority. When he came out few days ago too admit that he fears he would lose Henry, I thought it was a joke. That was sign of weakness. Mourinho, even if he isn't managing Chelsea, wouldn't have done that. And when Wenger came out to defend his Frenchmen, I thought he is totally hopeless in the toughness department. Ferguson, for the life of him, wouldn't have done that. Wenger has himself to blame for getting Arsenal labelled as softies.

Wenger will never learn. He will never BUILD a solid defense system. We can only hope that he can BUY a solid defense system. Defense is all about discipline after all. Give them freedom and you'll be Cygan-ed every now and then.

I think Wenger is a great manager. I think we will catch up with Chelsea the next season. I think he has what it takes to lead us to become one of European football elite by winning the CL. I think he was the key to our new stadium. But I think he can really let go his stubborn act a bit and learn something new.

Now that we've just gotten our three points, let's move on.
