I'm often accused of being an Arsenal fan, but I'm not. I do appreciate the way they play the game though; lots of short passes, patient balls to feet and a refusal to kick it long.
So, I was very pleased to read yesterday that Arsene Wenger is will definitely not change Arsenal's approach, despite their rocky start to the season. Fans of rival teams who take offence at neutral praise for Wenger's style need to put aside their tribal attitude, think outside their own team, and just enjoy some good footy. Not many managers have the stubborn belief in passing that the Frenchman does, and once he moves on (French National team?) he'll be sorely missed.

After watching the last Arsenal game, their problem seemed to their desire to have the perfect goal (pretty pass for Henry to finish). A goal is a goal, if you have the look take the shot.
