Let's Be Honest

I hate that phrase. It is a politicians phrase and not a very good one. They can lie after that prefix and still claim some truth in their diatribe. It is popular political speak. A quest for populism based on a platform of 'normality'.
People will understand the command for attention from the speaker, before they unleash a flurry of shite. Common practise among politicians, figureheads. Business leaders and now in football.

Cesc Fabregas is back at Arsenal and no matter what kind of spin you put on it, it will sound odd. It will make little sense. It will feel unconvincing but still from the horses mouth so indisputable. In short, pathetic.

I have nothing against fab leaving. I don't much like they way Barca have behaved but they are entitled to do what they can get away with. In which case Wenger should be prepared and in the most has handled the whole affair well.

I am on holiday and don't want to discuss signings, goalkeepers etc just now. But I will say this - at the launch of Arsenal's new charity deal with Centrepoint, wenger failed to attends as his previous meeting over ran.

Some suspected that he was tying up a deal for the Centre back Spahic. I am concerned that he was wrapping up Jay Simpson to Hull or Leeds. If this is the case I am fucking appalled. It is not good enough and our business dealings this summer are not good enough. No marquee player, no early deals as promised
More prolonged shite owing to us being a selling club.

Wenger cannot break the cycle and yet the optimists are already getting their funny feeling that this will be the season. Let's see in February.

Lastly, it is probably a 'misquote' but Jermaine Defoe has claimed that Spurs could do better than Arsenal in the champions league this season. Why? Because they're really excited to be there and could cause an upset.

I think Defoe has more chance of a year long contract supporting Elton John in Las Vegas than spurs doing well in the CL. But hey he is really excited.

This really could be Tottenham's season. This really could. Every season they go and build an even bigger and better weapon, stand in front of it as they launch it. Then they shoot themselves in the face. Why?

Still it's more exciting than Arsenal.
