who are the team called arsenal????


we are.

for almost close to eternity, we've waited, eagerly, patiently, sometimes downright crazily. its as if the script of our favorite football team's is written in such a way that we'll always come close to winning any title but dip in form always seem to haunt us. but i've got a feeling that this year is going to be a lucky year. well, fuck the winning, i'd be glad if we can bring back the glory days. if arsenal keeps on playing like how they performed in the ucl just hours ago against az, than i think we're the underdogs for the year, fuck man city.

the last 4 barren runs without trophies were, of course, not a very positive thing to come from a team of arsenal's stature. but then again..while others might think otherwise, i seriously think im enjoying the way they've been playing in the last few years, albeit not winning anything. i've always been a fan of arsene wenger's youth team policy. young players are way easier to be disciplined, less hotheaded, and work better as a team, plus they're faster than most veteran players that i've seen. without the youth policy, people around the world would still be asking who is fabregas, clichy, gibbs, walcott, and vela. and oh ya, fabregas' good form has also been pretty evident this season, scoring a few goals and assisting in a few goals as well. if he continues this way, it wont take long before he gets his hands on the epl player of the year title. i think im right to say that this has been his best ever season yet, even better than two years back when he had a good partner and provider in mathieu flamini. so in order to continue staying up, i think fabregas plays a big part by playing like what he's been doing lately.

with the addition of arshavin, nasri, and vermaelen, its obvious that we're already pushing for a top finish this year. and im pretty sure that everyone would agree that purchasing vermaelen for 10 mil beats toure's or lescott's purchase by man city by a long mile. it is, of course, quite evident that we've been sticking to buying youngsters and molding them lately, but im pretty sure that it'll take only a little more time before they grab the title. plus, paying big bucks doesn't guarantee the title, right? man city(again), anyone?

it is quite worrying, thought, regarding the takeover plans by both the main stake owners, stan kroenke and alisher usmanov, who are very close to a takeover bid. should any of these two tries to eventually take over arsenal, this is, for sure, going to land us on huge debt. this situation is already haunting man united and liverpool, so how long is it going to take for us to be in the same boat as theirs, right? plus take overs usually result in interruptions in player selections and limited allocations on player purchases and blah blah blah. as long as this situation doesnt occur, we're safe. but if it takes place anytime soon, than i predict that we are all in deep shit. or shits.

i guess that's all for this time. lets all hope that arsenal continues to play as well as they are performing currently. 12 consecutive games undefeated and i hope it doesn't come to an abrupt end just so soon. lets all hope that another 49, or more, undefeated run takes place.

who's that team we call arsenal again?
