Maybe it's time to sack Wenger afterall.

We have become such a joke.

Such a joke that Sir Alex Ferguson is on friendly terms with his once-hated nemesis Wenger.

Such a joke that even Soccernet choose to make fun and look down on us.

And Wenger still insists on keeping his purse tight for next season.

"Our players will learn and grow from their failures. There's always next season."

Stop using that excuse, Wenger.

Why it is hard to admit that your judgement is not 100% correct all the time?

Why are you trying so hard to emulate Sir Alex Ferguson?

Why can't you stick to your usual winning formula you had in the past?

Not that I'm a glory hunter, but I don't see the passion, drive, communication and the ability to produce something special from this Arsenal side.

Ah screw it. I'm not going to watch Manchester United possibly lifting the trophy after facing off against Arsenal next week. I'm probably going to keep tabs with the relegation dogfight for the last 2 round of fixtures of this season.

After that, it will be time to chuck another distraction away as I prepare for the inevitable Mid-Years and A Levels.

See ya again Gunners, in December. I hope things would have changed by then, for the better.

I'm dead beat.

Slept for only 2 hours yesterday.

Zombified mode in school. But hail the 1.5 hr break before Physics lecture!

Lecture was such a snore, I should have ponned together with the other three. But must give Mrs Heng a bit of respect la.

After that, went for lunch at Macs alone and went back to school to unveil the new 32nd EXCO for ny'AVA.

But unforseen circumstances arise after we revealed the positions and there is now no one occupying the secretary role.

Had debates and discussions with the 31st EXCO and Mrs Heng, and we are still yet to come upon a solution as of 5.30pm.

And thus, it concludes a tiring day for me as I am still discussing with Christopher
on how to resolve this issue.

Now moving on to my promised review of Arsenal's semi-final loss in the UCL.

So another season without any trophies.

Arsenal's exit out of the Champions' League was hard to take, since it was the only competition left in which the Gunners had a chance of winning.

The defeat to Manchester United sums it up: lack of desire, commitment and ideas.

The consequences of today's defeat might be severe, with frustrated players set to leave after failing to lift a trophy for 4 straight seasons.

To name a few,
Certain to leave: Van Persie
Possibly leaving: Adebayor, Fabregas, Walcott, Toure, Gallas

Seriously, sell the two strikers for all I care. Van Persie is wasteful, Adebayor is just a glimpse of his best last season. Both are unloyal.

I still have faith that the Gunners will be back stronger next season, with Arshavin no longer cup-tied, young players maturing, possible extra cash to spend and hopefully less injuries. What we need is a creative and clinical striker, a solid defensive midfielder, a strong centre-back and better decision making by Arsene Wenger. Monsieur Wenger himself is "off-form", having made a couple of questionable decisions this season, one of them being the FA Cup semi-finals, whereby he rested Arshavin and Nasri for no apparent reason.

And for those hardcore glory-hunter rival fans, please just shut the fuck up.

As I said before, "A true fan supports a team for how they play; winning trophies are just bonuses."
Man U leads 2-0 at half-time. Arsenal needs 4 goals to go through.

Do you believe in miracles?

I do.

EDIT: FT- Arsenal 1-3 Manchester United
Shall blog about it later.

Crunch tie today between Arsenal and Manchester United as both teams are fighting it out for the right to be in Rome in the UCL finals.

The Red Devils currently hold a slender 1-0 lead after the 1st leg at Old Trafford, and are hoping to extend the goal difference to cement a place in the finals.

The Gunners, meanwhile, face an uphill task despite what appears to be a slender lead. If the Devils were to score one goal in this fixture, Arsenal will need 3 goals to go through. Considering the key injuries to their defence personnel, the Gunners must probably stock up on their firepower to compensate for it.

Thus, this promises to be a thrilling match to watch, even for the neutrals.



Go Gunners, I have faith in you.
Show them a spirited performance; a never-say-die attitude till the final whistle!

Anyway, in other non-soccer related news,
It was nice to see some 0722 peeps again today.
Seriously miss those fun times we had.
