The Devils Prevailed

During the weekend I normally sleep in but today I didn't. I woke up early to support my favorite soccer club, Arsenal FC.  Man U beat nervous Arsenal by two goals to one. It was pathetic because Arsenal didnt show the urgency and sharpness. Also they lacked concentration.

Even though Man U won the game, they played less presentable but you can understand age is creeping in on their players. For example Carrick, Rio and RVP.  One Devil had a good day, Fergie! Today he didnt have walk much on the sideline because his club was getting the job done.

A few reasons why Arsenal lost. Some players were not quite ready to play. Podolski is a quality player but he didn't look comfortable at all. He made many errors and lost the ball quite often. He didn't take a single shot and if you ask Oxy, he would say Podolski has the best shots. Jack Wilshere is another player who seemed a little lost and eventually was sent off. He couldn't keep possession and seemed a little over confident or maybe call it indecisive with the ball. The Arsenal forward took two shots only in the entire game.  It might look effective because they scored one goal in 2 shots. "You don't score if you don't shoot." Shoot more for a higher chance of scoring more goals. Hopefully Arsenal will learn and create more shooting opportunities next game.

Here is quick enlightenment. Arsenal FC is a profit-oriented club, while Man U is a glory-oriented club.  Arsenal makes most profit by developing players and selling them at their prime. Man U develops players and uses them to win trophies before selling them in "out of order" state. In this case the Man U fans are WINNING over the Arsenal fans who keep waiting for the bright future yet to come.  Fans love it when a club lasts long, but they wouldn't mind some bragging rights on their club's glory.  As an Arsenal fan you know better not to argue about trophies with Man U and Chelsea fans.

"Every cloud has a silver lining." You can claim Arsenal has better things to come in the near future. It's not easy to settle down and fit in the premier league and you can tell players like Podolski, Giroud and Pete face surprises every weekend. I hope they settle down quickly because the clock is ticking and when it stops the season will be gone.

In today's clash Man U and its fans won but Arsenal and its fans were left mourning. No doubt Arsenal fans are wondering what it will take for things to turn around. Even though Arsenal has won 2 of their last 4 games, its players haven't really showed up to play.  In the EPL a club rarely survives on luck so Arsenal better burn the blankets and stop sleeping on the field.

I hate to admit Arsenal lost but its the truth of the matter.  Sometimes it's hard to take the truth especially if you are an Arsenal fan.  I failed to sleep in, Gunners lost, Man U and Chelsea fans all over me. Today can't get any worse! I will have to wait and see if Real Madrid will make my weekend as it plays against Zaragoza. Gotta stay positive and look for refuge somewhere else until next weekend, fresh EPL games!!!!
