FTK rant: Perhaps I need to believe more…

You’re still fickle. Nothing’s changed.

good post ftk
and yes i have that feeling that you need to believe more aswell !!! hahaha !
dont let yourself be bought down by all the doom and gooners, keep the faith and leave the humble pie to those who are more deserving.
will disagree on bendy i can see him becoming top draw , big strong centre forwards dont often come to the fore until mid to late twenties, this boy is showing glimpses of real class and deserves our support.
just look at huntelaar yesterday poor holding up play,poor passing poor positioning, bendy looks twice the player and has my full backing as long as he is a gooner !!!
in wenger i trust !!!!!
in arsenal i love !!!!!

Lets go fcking mental…
Let’s go fcking mental…
lalalalala lalalalal!

how many other 22 year old strikers scored a champions league hat-trick in the knockout stages?very few i would think,i think bendtner is a very good striker and eople should relax a bit,at 22 how good was HENRY?DROGBA?TORRES?DAVID VILLA?SHEARER?COLE?THE LIST GOES ON,at 22 b52 is miles ahead of the rest,fact!!!!!!!!!!!

In my pre-match discussion, I told a mate of mine that Bendtner would score a brace with the first coming on 10 minutes. Whilst at the game, my mate anxiously pointed to the time (9:30 sec), and just as I said ten minutes had not passed Nikky b sloted home the loose ball. In truth my mate is one of those doom mongers, pre-match he recalled recent defeats to both Chavski and Manure. I had to ask him the question Do you really pay all that money to watch Arsenal expecting them to lose.

Sully…

Are you his agent?

FTK, this was great! Funny, heartfelt, nice read.

Re Bendtner, check out these stats:
http: // http://www.goal. com/en/news/9/england/2010/03/10/1826323/arsenal-comment-nicklas-bendtner-is-arsene-wengers-most-valuable-
Apparently our win rate is 76% when he’s playing (better than Cesc’s and Arshavin’s win rate). When he doesn’t play, our win rate is a little over 50%.

He’ll never be an Henry (it’s impossible to find another Henry), I don’t think he’ll ever be at that level (tho of course I’d love to see him make me eat lots of humble pie on that). But, as you say, he works hard and keeps getting into the right positions. He keeps improving and he’s a great link-up man. And we lost our shape and momentum on Tuesday when he was taken off.

Also, very important for me: HE NEVER HIDES. He just keeps trying. Last season he got far FAR more home crowd abuse than Greedbayor ever did but he never complained to the press, he just put his head down and kept trying.

That’s why I’ve always preferred Bendtner to Ade, even when Ade was banging in those goals. Ade was constantly talking to the press, like saying how flattered he was that Utd showed interest in him (which I never believed) in an attempt to get more money and playing time from Arsenal (this was before his 30-goal one-season success with us).

[continued]

Personally I’m convinced Nicklas Bendtner is John Radford’s love-child from a long-fogotten Scandanavian pre-season tour.

Don, your avatar is similar to Ole Gunners, any link?

so that is what we can expect from cashley’s trip to seattle in about 20 odd years?!!!

last season bendtner scored away from home nine times at only twenty one.This is always the sign of a class striker.I believe we are seeing another gem improving rapidly before our eyes in the same way song has done this season.Bendtner has missed hatful of chances for the last two seasons but he is there to miss them and with a bit of luck he will turn into a goal machine.Buy the way has anyone EVER seen improvement and continued progression in a player like song this season .Gotta be very nearly the best defensive midfielder in the world and their aint no one i would swap him for.Believe in Wenger

It is no co-incidence, that the team has gotten the flow back, when the crowd is united in supporting it after the Ramsey injury.

If you show faith in our team they will deliver.

Why are we so interested in finding flaws instead of celebrating our team?

Sometimes when I’m alone, when nobody is around, I think I’m Cesc. Hehehehehe

Pete, I agree with regard to the better fans part. Do we honestly think NB52′s confidence would be affected by an article on here slagging him off?

I know you have a lot of sway at HQ FTK, but do you really think NB would be affected by your post if you slagged him off?

Like you said, you have stated many many times on here how you dont think he is good enough. And Denilson of course.

NB is only 22. The composure will come with age. Everyone praises Emile Heskey for the job he does for the team. Not his goalscoring record.

With NB in the side, at Centre Forward, we have a great shape to our team and a focal point. It is no coincidence that we play much better with him than without him. (Thanks for showing the stats Harper)

And for the record, if we win nothing this season, I for one will not turn on the team or AW. I can see huge progress being made this year. And if we keep everyone together, this will only get better.

Our team are maturing, year on year, towards a peak.

United, Chelsea, Liverpool, City, have most of their players who are at their peak or ready to start declining. And we are matching them in the league table. Yes we are still a way off when we play them, but we can improve. The others will go backwards unless heavy spending takes place as they have no sustained youth structure like we have built over the last 13 years.

I am keeping the faith!!

So that’s the answer….

Shoo thing Nicky B is the man…just being in right place at the right tyme is the best form of defense…keep attacking NB52 & its all 4 taking

ok ….

Its a spoiled thing…

you are entitled to your views

Chill dude

That part of the blog was tongue in cheek

Blogs don’t always have to be 100% factual and can be merely a reflection of what’s inside my head.

It’s called ENTERTAINMENT

u idiots getting over excited about Bendys two goals against Porto which the chances he took were layed on a plate for him. Like when he missed like 5 sitters against Burnley fans were saying “well at least he gets in dangerous possitions” LOL was this the sam excuse for Adebayor last season? Bendy is still shit and always will never be good enough for Arsenal, boy this silly ass blog needs a special one like me, i havent been on here for sometime now and it just looks so dead.

When I am alone, I imagine I am Arsene Wenger. And I buy a top striker, a keeper and a centre half and then we win every competition, every year.

As for your lover Ian Wright, that other turn coat cretin, did he not score tap-ins?? 180+ of them.

God your a waste of space james. you havnt been on here for yonks (i thought you would pop up after the burnley game and start spouting ‘i told ya so’s’ in regards to bendtner. Bit to late matey, not everyday a 22 yr old scores a hat-trick in the champions league, let alone the knockout stages.

As harper (i think it was) said before, drgba is nowhere to be seen at 24. Bendtner will be something special,hes got the perfect mind set, and if he keeps improving at a steady rate, weve got a world class big forward on our hands. Arshavin-Bendtner-RVP i can see it now in a season or two
