And I think they will

A reboot of the blog, and maybe even a preview of the upcoming season. Or just a rant about how Robin went to the Devil.

I really thought Robin would re-sign before start of season. And especially after Arsenal signed Cazorla. If you watch this YouTube video you can see how well Santi sets up players. Look at Robin's goal tally from this last year, and then look at Santi's quality and Robin could have been looking at Messi numbers. But whatever, no use in dwelling in could-have-been.

The real shock is that Robin went to my personally most-hated, United. United in cuntiness. I loathe them. The original Fantasy Football Club. They think they're wonderful but the reality is that in their Prem dominance they were outspending every other Club in England by heaps and gobs and knobs, which is what they are. Knob-headed, Shrek-loving, simpletons. And Robin went to them.

Robin didn't go because of money, either. There's a Gooner faction that will go with this excuse. An excuse that an already highly paid, top class player would go for big money. Truth is he was always going to get a raise after that scoring run. Whether it was at Arsenal or Citi, or United goat-fuckers, but somewhere. And I don't really think it was about better players. Robin witnessed what money can buy with Citi basically buying the league and he knew United would spend to keep up with the rivals. And he knew Arsenal would lag..and then Arsenal bought his replacement(s); Robin then went all-in and forced a move. Or did he? He thinks he did but Wenger knew he was courting a move well in advance. If you didn't think so, then why did he buy two Central, left-footed strikers? Not a coincidence knowing that Podolski can also play in the hole or wing. Shit, Giroud could have just been a back-up to Robin if he had stayed. So, Wenger knew.

Robin left because he lost faith in Wenger. I know this personally. I wanted to sack the old goat, and still do..if the right manager came around. But is there one? Maybe a few, but really, losing Wenger would hurt more than any poor decision he can make. And his decisions aren't  afwul, they're just minorly off. Playing Johan at RB when he had Nico in the wakes. Just minorly poor, but with massive consequence. And Wenger has a history of them. Browse my previous blogs and you'll see evidence of nearly 2 years of just really bad, dementia-like management-related decisions. And I think Robin left, in his mind, after Wenger subbed out Ox after we had United on the run, at home. I know I did. I yelled at the TV like I have never done before. It made no sense, and it clearly made no sense to Robin, either.  So if Robin was questioning his decisions like I was then I really think that is what pushed him out the door. The inexplicably obvious tactical decisions and adjustments that he has failed to make over the years. It's really incredible how often Arsenal get caught out on counter-attacks and long shots, yet Wenger plays Song, who wanders and rarely stays in and protects the back four. Or how he played Ramsey over and over and over and watched him struggle while then sending Arshavin out on loan instead trying him in the hole, allowing him to create for that classic #10 spot. The spot now occupied by Cazorla. So, it's clear to me, as it was likely clear to Robin that Wenger was going to do his own thing, no matter what he thought or what others thought see: Pat Rice coaching career. And so Robin decided that he wasn't going down that road, and wasn't going to spend his last, top years dealing with this recent history of mind-boggling decisions. So he left.

I just didn't think Robin would go to a rival like that. And I didn't think Wenger would sell to them, either. But I am not at all surprised that we did sell to them in the end. 24 million for a 29-year-old with 1 good season out of 7. Good luck with that, Lady Alex. We know he's a gambler, but he probably needs to lay off the whiskey, too. Personally, I want him injured and out of play. I really have an issue with people who treat others like shit when they try to help you. Wenger stayed by Robin when he was crocked, washed up and in rumor circles of ending his career at Fulham. Not sure about that last bit, I think it was Accrington Stanley. But whatever, Robin feels that he can win at United. And that's his right. And Arsenal got some big money for an aged player. In today's times, this is like Anelka money.

So, enough about Robin. He's a simpleton. Simpletons like Cesc and Robin are a dime a dozen in football. Look at Rio abusing Piers Morgan. For what reason? this guy is like aged 5 and makes loads of money. Just a dumbshit. Like Terry, Shrek, Joey Barton, Ashley Cole, and all the other twats out there. Robin joins this nation of dumbshit. Robin could have been a fucking Legend at the Arsenal and will now finish his career as a never-was at United. Dude could have led the Arsenal to 1st trophy in Emirates and been part of the Arsenalization of the stadium. Shit, maybe even a statue! And then upon return, as an old decrepit man, the chorus from the stands would rain down upon him. But now he is just another number, a show pony for the masses at Old Trafford. He may end up winning some trophies, but I have a feeling the ending won't be quite like he has in mind. And it's up to the current Arsenal squad to show Robin he made the mistake of his life.

And I think they will.
