Arsenal without Fab4, the one for the future?

Fellow Gooners, despite our victory last weekend, it looks like there are more grunts about Bendtner missing chances. To be honest, some of the chances looked like they were begging to be put at the back of the net!

It was bad to see Fabregas go out injured in the first half but good to see Diaby play the remaining 60 minutes without feeling any injury back-clashes. All praise to Nasri for a relentless job and we may need him to do the same tomorrow against Porto. At least Porto boss was not heard saying that he wants come on to Arsenal's faces!

Wenger showed us why is the boss at Arsenal! He obviously feels that winning the league is still possible and that is why he gambled on Fabregas. Once we scored, it was easier to remove him. Diaby did not play 90 minutes and so should be ready to play against Porto for the entire game. Arshavin played a small part of the game and seemed a little rusty. But the goal should make him feel better. Theo started the game and Wenger knew that after the England game (well a bad one for Theo), Theo needed some boost (boast- both seem to work here if you know what I mean).

Talking about Porto, Hulk seems to be the danger man. I honestly do not know much about the opposition. I just hope they dont park the bus and wait for the counter. Honestly they can do that and it wont be easy for us!

Totally forgot to write about why the title of this post refers about the future! The thing is that Fabregas may leave us this summer and Arshavin might stay. Porto game can be looked up as one for the future. We will lose our #4 probably to some Spanish outfit. It could be next year or after that but the future will probably be us playing without our #4. Surely I will still be supporting and cheering the Arsenal.

England's biggest loud mouth and Mr. England himself, Harry Redknapp was heard complaining about lack of everything British in the Premier League. He was heard complaining about the lack of British managers and owners. He said that it was bad for the Premiership. Apparently, non-British owners do not give enough chances to British managers to prove there worth. If the idea of the premiership is the broadcast it world over, make money from all over the world, why would there not be non-British managers? If the British managers were so good, why would the national team need an Italian genius? Obviously, this narrow thinking and the fact that the British managers seem less eager to venture out of that island country, the British managers are always going to suffer. I think, redknapp just enjoys talking to the press.

Team Prediction for Porto game:
Almunia
Sagna, Campbell, TV5, Clichy

Nasri, Diaby, Song,

Theo, Bendtner, Arshavin

Result Prediction:
3-1 to the Arsenal! I have a positive feeling about this game even though Fabregas has joined his buddies on the treatment table.
