While we all send our best wishes to Eduardo after the horrific injury he suffered against Birmingham, I think that Arsenals recent form has been conveniently overlooked when discussing them.
They capitulated against united, losing their heads, kicking out at united players, but it seemed to be more important to talk about Nani Showboating then their awful discipline.
They drew at home to a Milan team struggling in the Serie A, yet there was no real negative comments on this result.
Then against birmingham they were truely awful in the 1st half and blew a 2-1 lead in the final mins of the game. Then their captain has a mental breakdown and cries on the pitch
Am I the only person that thinks arsenal cracks are beginning to show? Their captain seems to be cracking up after the first pressure letdown game of the league this season. Nobody seems to be capable of stepping up to the plate when it matters. Adebayer seems to be too childish to put his arguement with Bentner aside (see the shot he took when 2-1, with an easy pass to bentner a tap in!) .
Whats remarkable is how Wenger has managed to deflect any criticism or negative comments on his team by blaming everything but the backbone that his team are missing.
As far as I am concerned, the season starts now. This is where the big boys stand up and the weak fall. Now people expect arsenal to win the league, they are starting to feel the pressure they have never felt before. United have still got alot to do to win the league, but you have to feel their experience could proove to be enough to get them over the line. If united can keep winning, I think Arsenal will fold like origami!!!:jester:
