Morning all.
Now that The Carling Cup and The Champions League are behind us we focus on The FA Cup, now before i proceed i would just like to add that although those competitions are behind us i don't believe we should just dismiss them just like that, i believe we should ponder on these losses for a moment, and reflect. The Carling Cup, we can blame ourselves for a mistake at the end of a competitive game and we allowed Birmingham in for a well earned victory no complaints, but The Champions league, now this is a different kettle of fish, i wont bore you with the intricate details as i an sure we have not heard the last of this game not by a long way, which brings me to the Word Respect, now the word Respect is emblazoned on everybody's shirt its an easy word to say an easy word to read, but what does the word mean, the reason the word was included on football shirts, was to show the world and the players, that Respect between the cultures of our world is paramount, it represents Black White Red and Yellow people, from the four corners of the world, so that they can play against one another without hate or malice, compete for the name of the sport they are in as equals.
Hopefully the days of bananas being thrown onto the playing surface and the songs about players mothers are behind us, many laughed and cheered but i hope a lot of it was banter but still hurtful. England has come a long way, allowing Mosques to be built, allowing foreigners to take over every corner shop in the country, every garage, and nearly all the restaurants, whilst not many CofE churches are being built in their parent countries. We have bent over backwards for different cultures and people, to play in our football leagues, the numbers are probably in excess of English players in the Premier League, so i believe we have tried our best to spread the word Respect. The football authorities have made it a campaign, to make the word Respect apparent in everybody's mind, by evicting people that show the lack of it from grounds all over the world.
So tell me, why were Arsenal FC shown no respect by the Officials and the Authorities over the abysmal decisions they incurred in their Champions League defeat in Spain. Arsene Wenger asked the referee about his judgement and subsequently receives charges from Eufa and possibly penalties, where is that word Respect now. Probably time to move on to the FA Cup, Saturday see's us at Old Trafford against old rivals Manchester United, i am expecting a very hard fought match, both teams have received losses of late but i wouldn't expect that to stand in the way of the battle, home advantage for Utd, which i never doubted, but our tails are up, and without any interference from the referee, hopefully a fair and Respectful match.
