No Mind Games From Us

Gooners boss FMR stated again his team are not contenders for the title, after fellow manager Dom Brown was quoted as saying "Gooners will push totaal". FMR responed by saying "if we had real title ambitions we would not have taken on more 17/3 skillers and... Gooners did nail Stanley tactically and could have won at least the away leg had we selected our strongest squad."

He went on to say "It is absurd to include us as title challengers, I have only had my focus on the change report and survival... we have held the best form all season and key players such as Wellington and Busquets, among others are now approaching the required 16 DV. Whilst this is fantastic news for all concerned... I still have to find six or seven games to play Arshavin and Nasri in! Not forgetting the minimum DV I need from Akinfeev must be 16, even without these obstacles to over come.. I dont think we could be considered a serious rival this season, which is why we are working very hard behind the scenes."

Gooners have also had some serious injuries to contend with and FMR is still wondering why his team is the closest in points to Totaal he said... "If you look at it from this point of view, we are not even contemplating playing our strongest eleven in any game for the rest of the season... which is why I wished Totaal the best of luck sometime ago... I think they have already done enough to be named champions and wil be worthy winners! It does look good for Gooners next season and possibly the season after that when our first eleven will be more competetive... looking at this season we are not far off the pace, although I am aware of new challenges coming from division one."

"This season should be a wake up call for the previously established top tier teams... they look to have become too complacent and I feel our position shows that, there are much stronger teams to come through the division in the coming seasons and they will need to up their game or lose their top flight status!"

FMR is very happy with his current squad and remains upbeat about the present and the future... with players such as Busquets, Cesc, Overmars and his latest find Nasri who has been nothing short of amazing in his first two first squad games... it would seem FMR will be able to continue the Gooners tradition of exciting football.
