The Morning After...

Waking up with the touch of my huge frame brushing against the laptop. I sat up thinking of the events of the previous day. I tried catching up on twitter and Facebook, then realized the media frenzy on Arsenal's first trophy in ten years was still catching fire on social media. Silently, with a smile of satisfaction on my face; I began to dwell on memories of the match verses Hull City. With Wembley Stadium filled to the brim, the Ex-Arsenal players contingent showed the memories of what had been, when trophies were very much a huge part of the club and not satisfaction in failings. The stadium cameras brimmed on Thierry Henry, Robert Pires, Sol Campbell, Ray Parlour, Martin Keown, with Lee Dixon on the commentary team. Breath wish of the fans was for the players to re-ignite the winning run again, as they were led out by captain Thomas Vermaelen. The failure of the club's loss in the Carling Cup final against Birmingham City bored heavily on the minds of fans.

I remember sweating profusely as the boys couldn't string few passes and good touches together. Eventually, they began to dominate proceedings orchestrated by Santi Cazorla, Mesut Ozil and Aaron Ramsey. For the attacking intent, it all falls apart as the rearguard of the opposition seem so determined to evoke more failings on Arsenal's long standing manager. Before long the team were rewarded with three goals within ten minutes of action, Arsenal were not threatened as the game wore on despite Hull City pulling a goal back. The smile on Arsene's face looked divine, as the curtain of failure draws down around the club. The warmest hugs amongest staff and players alike would bring tears to any hardened mind.

Oh...my Arsenal...what a dream it was...but for millions of Arsenal fans, IT MUST COME TRUE!
Let's dream along.



English Premier League lined in Blue

Contrary to my pre-season prediction of Chelsea winning the Premier League, hinged on the premise of pragmatic park the bus chief executive "Jose", Manchester City fed on the crushing fortune of Liverpool showing much promise over the final leg of the race. Manchester City deserves to be champions as they devastatingly kept form in the last leg of the title race. Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool will regret the lost chance to build momentum when it mattered most. The quality and amount of goals scored by both Manchester City and Liverpool shows scoring goals is the ideal strategy for winning and not "parking the bus".

Let's not forget: "He's a specialist in failure, I'm not"

It is two long years and $400 million in transfer of New Players since Jose Mourinho last won a trophy. " He labelled Manuel Pellegrini, who has now won a Premier League and Capital One Cup a failure. His assumed rival Rafa Bentez has won the Copa Italia and Europa Cup in one year. Saturday's FA Cup victory by Wenger will hopefully add salt to injury. So i beg to ask, When will Jose Mourinho qualify to be a "specialist in failure?
