the last thing we need now is for a takeover by stan kroenke. regardless of how beneficial it can turn out to be, i hope that arsenal will be left alone until the end of the season.

new players,new managers can galvanise a team midway through a season. but a change in management, unless your team is bankrupt, is more detrimental to beneficial, because it will send ripples of uncertainty throughout the club. bankrupt we certainly are not; our financial position is probably the best in england, thanks to a certain arsene wenger.

i believe we can truly win at least the league this season. the most crucial ingredient to success is stability on the pitch and off the pitch. in my opinion, if stan kroenke is someone who understands sports, as his supporters have made him out to be, he should leave arsenal alone until the end of the season.

my own hope is that he doesnt come in at all. the story with him and usmanov is really a story of the lesser of two evils. would they improve the team? would having 100 million to spend on one player improve the team?

it wouldn't, because the foundations of the team is there. we need a specific kind of player, which may not be available even if you have all the money in this world.

i am hoping for the board to make a stand. that arsenal is more than just an avenue of revenue.

the last thing we want is for arsenal to be taken over by businessmen. look at liverpool, man u, chelsea and man city. we at arsenal have the honour of saying we are different from those clubs. i hope the board does not forget that.

i must admit that prior to the opening game at everton, i was nervous because things hadn't looked good, and everton wasnt exactly the place you wanted to begin your campaign.

as the season unfolds, i am confident that we will win something this season.

my belief stems from the fact that players have proven me wrong and have started to repay the faith arsene wenger has in them.

where the team in 2007/2008 was naive, you get this feeling that this team has a mental toughness that was missing in recent seasons.

everyone thought we were out of the race after the chelsea game. but we can go top on wednesday if we beat bolton by at least two goals. i cannot think of any simpler way to motivate the players:

guys, let's go top of the table.

of course the only standings that counts is the one after match 38. but this would be a big psychological boost, and put the pressure on chelsea and man u as well.

arsene wenger was being polite when he said 5,6 teams are in the title race. only 3 are.

arshavin should have scored that one-on-one or passed the ball to walcott.
