Chelsea annihilate Wenger on the thousandth: Three Things

1. Planning, Strength of Purpose, Result

      Chelsea's majestic annihilation of Arsenal says much about the superiority of a manager's 

wisdom than the glaring tactical deficiencies of the opponent, whose time is finally up

Jose (i hate to mention his name) sets his team up for a win, the inclusion of Luiz ahead of 

Lampard shows willingness to combat the creative tendencies of  Arsenal's middle men. I still 

stand on the prediction of Chelsea winning the PL championship this season and on account 

of the majestic performance, no need changing. The Champions' League might be a tall order 

for Chelsea but the Premier League is their best shot.


2. New Dynamics in football
       
       Every football fan, other than Arsene Wenger understands the changing dynamics of 

football. Every proponent from tactics, politics, corruption, transfers, medicals has changed 

from the first Seven successful years of his Managerial Career in Arsenal. He still has 

not recognized it, or so stubbornly blind to adapt. Graft, resilience, then Style are the modern 

trends, which says much about Barcelona change to a direct style, and Bayern Munich's new 

found dogmatic approach. A leopard can not change it's spots, right time to promote Wenger 

to the board room?


3. Arsenal WOULD never finish below 4th

       I am alarmed by Manchester United fans on Arsenal's loss...Suprised! Even... United 

fans?, Arsenal will never descend to competing with Stoke City in the PL...FullStop

Arsenal as a RELIGION, Arsene, the Pope

FRIDAY, 21ST MARCH 2014

Arsenal as a religion

With great delight do I start this amazing journey, and what a great way and time to begin...




I have being a dutiful member of the Arsenal fraternity as long as I can remember. Since the 

days of Rothmans Football Show Saturday evenings on the NTA network. I love football and 

Arsenal as much as I love myself, It's brought so much joy and pain in equal value; but has 

also shaped my life. 



Wenger, the Pope

On the 1000th game of Arsene Wenger, despite failings of the last 500 games, he has shaped 


lives, not only generations of players but also legions of fans around the world. 

Love him or hate, he made us all love Arsenal and Football in general. One could count Alex 


Ferguson or the likes of Jose Mourinho as successful on accounts of the number of trophies 

they won, but no other shaped the dynamics of how a football club should be run than Arsene.

Whilst, his stubbornness are seen to be shortcomings, particularly on few tactical deficiencies 

and blind trust in certain players; I do actually see them as his strength of character. Particular 

references will be made of Aaron Ramsey, Cesc Fabregas and other young players for his 

absolute faith in their abilities. However, we pray to forget the tortuous moments of watching 

Squillaci, Bendtner, Arshavin, Santos...

Future

Arsene Wenger is Arsenal, he has given the club "dignity and recognition", his players 'respect 

and loyalty'. And to the fans he gave  a cause that's so applicable to our life situations, that 

is "simplicity and dedication"
