Wake up...

WAKE UP...!


Arsenal supporter... aaahhhhh... not the right time to tell that you are an arsenal fan.! Bradford, Swansea, bla bla bla... we have seen it all.. there is no need for me to get into this.! With all the outrage that followed after the Bradford tragedy i was amazed to see the reaction of our fans.!

Should we be dissapointed and angry.? YES ..

Should we call for Mr.Arsene Wenger's neck.? HELL NO..!!

There have been few amazing posts that instill positive belief, the bright side of the picture. I hope people,especially arsenal fans do read them. This one though is going to talk about the ugly picture.!

How easily has the media conquered the sporting world, the passion of football, just for money making purposes, they put words in our mouth like (Wenger Out) that we would never say , seed an idea in our minds just like inception that we would never think of. Where has our thinking gone in all this.?

As a matter of fact in these barren 7 years of no trophy at Arsenal , we have achieved a lot.! We have won trophies, which nobody can see. Instead of Mr. Wenger being sacked i'll introduce you to the main culprits who ought to be sacked from whatever profession they are into.! Football Pundits.! Time and again they said Arsenal will not qualify for the champions league, in-fact they said that almost every year. We did qualify for the champions league in all these years, some of them in crunch situations and some wonderfully. Why should we fans go with all these football pundits opinion when they have a track record of 7 years of consistent failure.? It was Arsene and Arsenal who had the success all these years. the score line reads

ARSENAL & ARSENE 7 - 0 FOOTBALL PUNDITS

Somehow we still want to use the words that these pundits put in our mouths.? I mean,seriously..???

Next, If you all are aware of all the boardroom politics that has been going on at Arsenal for all these years, the best thing to have happened to us in all this, is Mr.Arsene Wenger. He has been the only constant . With no money, no players(departing stars), no support (us, fans the culprit here) , full criticism , humongous competition levels - he has still managed to deliver.! I dont think there is a single manager that could perform like our manager. We as Arsenal fans should not forget all these variables. It was an easy decision for Mr.Wenger to have left Arsenal like all the players, but he stood by his ground , like the captain of a sinking ship. He has been our real captain , someone who we should thank for these 7 years and i'm sure for the years to follow. 

I know trophies count and nothing else, but if it were not for these barren years in which i think Arsene has brought us more success by keeping us stable, consistent champions league place, very good financial position we could well be fighting the relegation battle. 

One last thing, Losing one's own creation is the worst feeling that a man can have. Our manager, has had it all. His creation .. sorry... creations... Flamini, Helb, Adebayor, Nasri, Cesc, Van Persie, Alex Song have left him.! If all of these players owe something at all for everything they have achieved , its Arsene Wenger. All the hurt that we fans have suffered to see them leave Arsenal, i'm sure its Arsene who felt the worst pain.! I fear that the decision of all the above mentioned players and also of the one's i've forgotten , Arsene might well lose his faith on youngsters forever and all other consequences that would follow.

This post is not to force you to think about what i said, its just to make you open your eyes and see the world as it is and not what the pundits,media portray us to be.! 

Thank you.

Messi, Xavi, Iniesta ... Barcelona

Many of you will be wondering what sort of title that is.? Continue reading and you'll know. Messi, Xavi, Iniesta are hailed as the best football players around the world. Ok there is Ronaldo, Kaka, the best of them all Gareth Bale (really..?) also. But when you talk about Barcelona you start hearing a lot of compliments about them. The best team in the world, The best team in the history of football, and what not.. They certainly are the best team at the moment. All the critics compare Arsenal to Barcelona. We are following a similar footballing philosophy to the best team in the world and according to pundits we are way behind them. Everyone reading this will say we know this.. what is new in your blog.? Well friends whatever I'm going to write is well known to all of you. Its just that you have forgotten it or you are too involved in something really important (criticizing, trying to scout players for arsenal for free , finding solutions for arsenal's problem, trying to calm down other fans). Getting back to my point now.

Since Arsene Wenger came to Arsenal we have had so many good moments to cherish about. I think we began to become a very famous club around the world because of him and his footballing principles. We played scintillating football and won trophies raising the bar for every other team and more than that for ourselves and to our fans. And hence the criticism, the hatred among pundits , fans for our trophy drought. I can't argue with everyone about it. Some of them are true about some of their comments. My point is that we should remain a little more patient with our team. And here is the reason why we should. Barcelona also endured a 6 year trophy drought recently.

Barcelona won the La Liga title for the 1998-1999 season and then didn't win anything until 2005.During that six year trophy-less run they were developing their own young talents Messi Xavi, Iniesta Now look at them..., they are talk of the whole world.!

Arsenal has been doing the same thing. I'm not saying we'll be winning 6 trophies next season, but i just found it interesting that nobody seems to mention this little bit of information. We have lot of talent in comparison to Messi, Xavi, Iniesta.. to name a few Cesc Fabregas, RvP, Samir Nasri , Theo Walcott , Jack Wilshere , Aaron Ramsey (few more) . oh wait..!! we have twice the number of good upcoming players in comparison to Barcelona during their drought. I agree that they signed Ronaldinho who changed their fortunes. He was signed in 2003 and barcelona came back to winning ways in 2005. Well we have lot of players with huge potential and we saw a few coming up with their potential this season Nasri, Walcott, Jack , so why not be optimistic about our future .? I'm sure we will see some changes at Arsenal this summer. Rio dinho ( Rio Miyaichi ) has been a huge success at Feyenoord should be with us next season. Poor lad is already under huge expectation levels, but i believe he will do well if not awesome in his first season at Arsenal . So people be a little more patient with our team.

Now to Arsene Wenger. Lots of people want Mr. Arsene Wenger out. But have you given a thought about how much this man has given to the team. I mean look at him he has started to look like a Zombie figure to me ( No Offence) . No manager in the world will take all this stress for a team when he is one of the most demanded managers around Europe. He could've very well have signed a lot of big players bring success for a short while along with millions of debt after the new stadium, after the Invincibles and left Arsenal. But he decided to stay , put his own reputation on the line for the good of Arsenal. He is the best thing that has happened to Arsenal. One of his quotes "A football team is like a beautiful woman. When you do not tell her, she forgets she is beautiful." Its the fans time to tell the team how good they are, how capable they are of becoming the best of the best and not to discourage them.

For Cesc Fabregas doubters i have two things to tell. Watch the match against spurs if u doubt his passion for the club and about his performance i would like the stats to do the talking..

xavi since 04 – goals 49, assists 65, total apps 347

cesc since 04 – goals 52 , assists 88, total apps 310

Finally my message to Arsenal fans. You have a different view, i have a different view but we all have a thing in common. We are all die-hard Arsenal supporters and Arsenal is a big part of our lives now. We should be a little more patient with our Favourite team in the whole wide world.! We should stop all the criticizing, debates, arguments and show how good Arsenal supporters really are and support the team like never before. Arsenalforever..
