Gunners or Whiners???

English football is brilliant. The pace,  tempo, atmosphere and passion in it makes it what it is. Its a game played hard and players put everything into each and every pass tackle or shot they make.

A north london club called Arsenal is one of the major clubs in England. Gunners they are called for thier history or some shit.

But in actuality they're just whiners. Ok they can pass the ball around and play flowery football but you've got to be tough enough to take tackles on.

Wind the clock all the way back to 2001, the FA cup final. Arsenal had battered Liverpool for 83 mins and were leading 1-0. Last 7 minutes Liverpool played some tough football, got some tackles in and Michael Owen scored a brace  and won the cup for pool. 

End of the game Arsene Wenger comes out n says"Liverpool did not play well enough to win. The cup is rightfully ours".

2003 season Arsenal played Man Utd at Highbury. They battered united again for most of the game. Ruud Van Nistelrooy won a penatly in the dying seconds. What happened later is irrelevant but again the in post match interview Martin Keown comes out saying "The difference in quality of football between us and them is appalling. The only chance in the game they had was the penalty". 

Come to the present season :Arsenal played Stoke City at the Brittania stadium. Stoke are a physical side and present very little space for the opposition to play. Of course Mr Wenger again expects his opposition to not touch his delicate darlings and sit and watch havin a cuppa tea while his "kids" pass the ball around. Stoke went on to beat Arsenal and guess wat Wenger said "Stoke were not intrested in playing football. They deliberately tried to injure our players. We were stopped from playing true football"

Not gonna happen. Arsenal can go to division one although i doubt they're gonna have much success there.

The english game is all about being physical. If u get tackled or crunched u get up and move on with it not sit and whine like Arsenal do. Well if you do you'll probably end up losing 4th place to Aston Villa
