Three things that wound me up about the Arsenal game.

This probably won't be a long article, but let's see how it ends up first. It could very well end up the same length as War & Peace by the time I've got some things off my chest.

The result against Arsenal was fantastic given that we were four goals down, right? I personally don't think that can be denied, but there are some things that went on it that game that really boiled my blood. I managed to catch most of it aside from about ten second-half minutes, and from that I have noted these things that have really wound me up.

Jack Wilshere.

The so-called future of English football/next midfield great blah blah blah. Really? Yes he is a good player, but he does have this knack of making me really want to hurt him. Naturally that would never happen though as I'm not a woman so it's doubtful whether or not he'd be interested in having a pop at me. Allegedly, ahem.

Wilshere is a dirty player, although he gets away with it because he is 'young' and is 'still learning' amongst other things. Utter bollocks. In the two games I have seen him he certainly hasn't learned a thing as he mooches around the pitch sticking his boot into players.

Don't get me started on his petulant moaning either. The little cry baby does like to have a moan, and that was on show today both on the pitch and off the pitch when he lambasted match referee Phil Dowd for his performance today on Twitter. Those comments have now been deleted, but they didn't go unnoticed as they seem to have attracted the attention of the media.

Hopefully the odius little ratbag will face the full power of The FA, much like Ryan Babel did not so long back.

Arsene Wenger.

Much like Wilshere, Wenger also likes to have a moan. Nothing is ever his fault, or his teams fault, and they are always the victims. It doesn't matter that his player lashed out not once, but twice, it was the tackle beforehand where Joey Barton won the ball that was to blame.

I've just about had enough of him to be honest. Is it so hard to admit that his team buckled under the pressure? Apparently so....

People who left the game early.

This is something that really gets on my wick. Granted, if you buy a ticket and choose to leave early then it's your choice. But why buy the ticket in the first place? Does this mean that you'll only support the team when they are winning or if the result is to your taste?

Those that spat the dummy and walked missed out on a bit of history being made, and they have nobody to blame other than themselves. I hope this will teach them a valuable lesson.

Those are just three things that got on my wick although I could have mentioned more to be fair. I could have talked about how vile Abou Diaby is or how many times the commentary team mentioned Andy Carroll, but if I did that this really would turn into War & Peace!

Anyway, rant over!
