Arsenal v Aston Villa, Mon 30 Jan 2012, 12.00AM LIVE @ Modesto's at Elizabeth

Hello Singapore Gooners,

Let's tell it like it is...

The stage was set. Chelsea, Liverpool, Newcastle & sp*rs dropped points and that was our glorious chance to make up grounds on the leaders but somehow, the Gunners didn't get the script. We had to lose to United last week. Again. 

And make that 3 league defeats in a row. No wonder the boos rang out. There were even calls for Wenger's head... 

The thing is, not everything looks so bleak.
1) In a twisted way, the fans still care and that's why some jeered the team. 
2) Players like the Ox, Yennaris, Ignasi & Coquelin are slowly coming through the ranks, joining the first team AND looking good. 
3) There is still a lot of football to play and the Gunners have time to make up for the bad results.
4) Our injured are slowly coming back!

So what should Wenger do? It's a debate that's too long to discuss here so make your way to our forum, facebook page or even twitter feed and air your thoughts.

Like the team, I hope we all get over the defeat quick because the team is still in the Champions League & FA Cup competitions. This Sunday night, we host Aston Villa in an FA Cup tie. Arteta and Henry should be back. I'm personally waiting for Sagna & Wilshere to be fit again. We need our warriors. 

The Liz will be open for this. KO is on Sunday night, 11.55pm. Join us if you can. But wherever you will be watching this game, just get behind the team. That's the best we fans can do.

Before I end off this week's newsletter, a gentle reminder to any other fans that visit the Liz: 
You are welcome to the club and to back your team. Sing your terrace songs. We love a good football atmosphere. When your team scores, feel free to celebrate. During the Carling Cup Finals last year, a group of Birmingham fans backed their team and no one begrudged them of their victory celebration. 
However, please do not come to the Liz and disrespect the Gooners. You don't visit your friend's house and spit on the sofa, do you? That is only basic courtesy. So please show respect at the Liz. The Singapore Gooners will do likewise.

Having said that, see you guys this Sunday night.

COYG,
Kevin
