..in HIM we trust?.. Do we??

OK, yeah, it's a crisis! It's a mad crisis! It is a crisis of titanic proportions! Do I sound cynical enough, or do I need to repeat the above lines 666 times to make it sound Cynically Satanic, whatever that might mean!!?!!

The entire situation revolves round one man and he is none other than our beloved Lord Arsene Wenger! This man managed two teams in two different eras!
The first team had these fellows in his arsenal:

Thierry Henry
Dennis Bergkamp
Nwanka Kanu
Robert Pires
Ray Parlour
Freddie Ljunberg
Patrick Vieira
Gilberto Silva
Edu
Sylvian Wiltord
Lauren
Sol Campbell
Kolo Toure
Ashley Cole
Jens Lehmann

Ladies and Gentleman, the team above, also known, ok, no, feared as 'The Invincibles' won the League in style. Why did they win? They had a steely determination. They had massive, massive quality. They had experience. They were feared by opponents, plain and simple!

The second team that our Lord Wenger manages, looks something like this:

Emanuel Adabayor
Robin Van Persie
Nikolas Bendtner
Samir Nasri
Abou Diaby
Denilson
Alex Song
Cesc Fabregas
Theo Walcott
Emanuel Eboue
Bacary Sagna
Kolo Toure
William Gallas
Gael Clichy
Michael Almunia

Yes, the team above is supposed to win the league. Come on, give me a break! If you sit down and start comparing both the teams, it'll give you cold shivers. What there was? What we have now? It is tragic, I tell you! The only common element between the two teams is one Arsene Wenger, his belief stays the same, his concept of passing football stays the same, but unfortunately the players have changed, and we don't have the team of world-class players(except for one poor thing called Cesc Fabregas) anymore, neither do we have experience to hold these young lot together! Young bloods are like new-born birds, they want to fly, they have the potential to fly high, but their parents don't let them, they surround them, they cover them and slowly and eventually these newly-borns are let to fly.

Pretty simple to understand! But, what matters is, one man, one obdurate man doesn't understand! Yes, there is a flaw now, a big flaw, it is evident! Come January transfer window, if the cheque-book is not taken out, we'll have to be satisfied with a fourth finish, if we play some really consistent football, that is! Now, is that enough for a mighty club like Arsenal? It is left to Lord Arsene Wenger to ponder about! In him, we trust, it seems! :|
