Can England qualify to Euro 2008?

November 19th, 2007

First I would like to apologize about my post update(I had not update my blog for 3 days already) because I can’t find anything interesting to type in my blog.

Though Israel’s 2-1 victory had helped Three Lions a lot in this qualifying war,but qualifying place is still open to England as well as Russia.As many people said that ball is round,anything can happen in football,whether by legal way or other wise.

After watching Scotland vs. Italy match,I personally think that anything can happen.I think Scotland played better than the 2006 World Cup champion,but referee just can’t let Scotland play in Euro 2008.It’s really weird that it’s clear that the Italian player fouled Scottish player at injury time,but somehow they did not only escape the foul,they also be rewarded a free-kick.

Can’t the referee ask the linesman if they can’t see the scene clearly?Or even the linesman can’t see the scene too?The linesman must be banned from being a linesman or referee forever.

Ok,back to the topic.Croatia might not mind finishing 2nd in the table as they could qualify anyway,and their recent loss to Macedonia could prove that they will prepare early for next year’s game instead wasting time playing for something that you’re already achieved.But they might just don’t like England for their arrogance.

Anyhow,England just need a draw to qualify into Euro 2008,provided Russia don’t beat Andorra more than 8 goals difference.But I still think the possibility of Russia beating Andorra more than 8 goals margin is more than 30%,which is quite high for me.So I think it’s still better if England can win the game.

Talking again about England and Russia,England definitely can play better than Russia,but England’s player just can’t take the easy games seriously.They can play 101% for their clubs but performed half-heartedly for their country.May be it’s money issue.

I will continue this tomorrow.

We are criticized by many people because we are strong

November 15th, 2007

I have proof over my above title.

A lot of people always criticize us because we don’t have Englishman in our team.Platini,Ferguson,and even Jose Mourinho join them to attack us,and the worst is Jose commented that he has successfully built a great team based on English players.

Source:Fansfc.com

I didn’t see he grows a English player(s) in his career so far.Frank Lampard and John Terry has long existed before his arrival.Same goes to Joe Cole and other English players.

I think he has bored by his “nothing to do-ness” after being “fired” by Chelsea.I even heard he has beaten 11-12 years old kids in Portugal.So if Jose has nothing better to talk about,please SHUT UP and and prove that he is really a Special One,not the “Bluffing One”.

Talking about Platini,I want to ask the following question;If we implement quota system in the club,will football in Europe will ever improve?

Just like Wenger said many times before,we want to see quality players in the game.Man United fans pay to see Devils perform superbly in the game,not to see all England players play.Same goes to ourselves,Arsenal fans paid about 60 pounds to see Gunners play a great football in the game.

Quota system kills off the fun in football.In my country,there are quota system everywhere;from education sector to properties sector,and these thing make people pissed off about that.People that performed well in their examination didn’t get selected to enter universities because of quota system.I don’t want these things to happen in England.

Ferguson:We hurt Arsenal psycologically
Source:ontheminute.com

Yes,I admit that Manchester United played slightly better than us last few weeks but in EPL,the teams that perform good,and most importantly,with consistency.

SO,it’s too early to said about it now.As long we keep winning,Man U can’t do anything on us.If Sir Alex really wants to compete with us in terms of best football,wait for our visit in April.It will decide the EPL winner,if both teams keep winning remaining EPL games.

Talking about best football,we actually beat Devils at home and away,but yet we didn’t win the title and this shows that consistency matters most in EPL,and not best football.

Thank you for the praise.

And that is what we want.Winning the game as well our opponent’s praise.We dislike our opponent to attack us unnecessary way,just like Sir Alex who seems to be really disappointed with Gallas’s late equalizer last time we played Man United and therefore,blame Arsenal fans,blame our players and even referees unnecessary way.

Post update 14/11/2007

November 13th, 2007

I think it’s better to post like this because I will include more than one news in this post.

The first news is from Arsenal.com which I think some of you read it before
Wenger:We can cope with the pressure

And as usual,I have comments on his quote;


“I felt we were in control. After the question of getting the first goal we dominated the game. We were never in danger of dropping points after that and the second goal killed off the game I feel. We could have scored one or two more but one was given offside. The second goal was a real great goal and overall you see that possession-wise, passing-wise and movement, we were the superior team.”

Yes,we played a great game yesterday but I think we should not let Reading scored against us.What I mean here is their goal could be avoided if we defend more carefully.There were no one guarding the center of penalty box.Though our job is done,which is to regain the top spot but it’s always better to win on bigger margin,in order to compete with Man United in terms of goal difference.Though our chance to beat them in this term is difficult,but surely we should give our best to compete with them.

Our one game in hand means nothing until it is converted to at least a point.

But I must give a thumbs up to our kids for their good passing,patience and the most importantly,good coordination between the players.Our 1000th goal in EPL is nice too,it all came from well-planned attack.

“It is quite a heavy schedule for some of the international players and we lost Fabregas tonight because he will be suspended. I hope everybody comes back free of injury because we lost Van Persie last time. We will be highly focused when we play at the Emirates.”

I personally think Fabregas yellow card was intentionally done to clear out his yellow card record.As our game against Wigan is easier compare to next three away games three weeks later,he will rather miss the Wigan’s game than the crucial away games.

Persie’s return to squad is in extremely right time,just before Arsenal visit a lot of teams after the Wigan’s game.

My second news is another threat from Jens Lehmann.

He needs to play,but unfortunately Almunia’s form simply cuts Lehmann from our first team.If Almunia keep Arsenal conceded less,he will have to leave us.

Nothing much to be said about it,let’s wait until January.

Arsenal regain their place

November 12th, 2007

Arsenal did their job well,beat Reading 3-1,gained another three points and two goals difference,just enough to stand on top of the table.

Flamini broke the dead-lock just a minute before the break and just after 7 minutes after the second-half started,Adebayor finished the well-planned attack by goal.Nice plan by our players I would really say.At 78th minute,Reading was punished for defending error by our midfielder Hleb and he showed them what is great ball control means.

Reading got their consolation goal just 6 minutes from final whistle(including 3 minutes extra-time) and I admit it was quite bizarre that time and as a result,Reading took advantage of this fact to score at least a goal at their home.

I’m quite surprised that Wenger still uses 4-4-1-1 formation.But Reading just too weak to exploit our slight weaknesses.

Anyhow,we get the things we want to and in fact,our goal difference was even better than before compared to Man United.

There will be no EPL match next week and I think Wenger can plan for their tough journey after the game against Wigan.
