London 'Bridge' is falling Down! :D



It is one of 'those' days for the Gooners! Now, 'those' days in this season actually gives you a very confused thought-process. Is it the after-match-day of a Fulham/Stoke/Sunderland/Aston Villa/Manchester City/Hull City where we sit down, heads hung, questioning what went wrong with our team? Or Is it the after-match-day of a Fenerbache/Manchester United/Chelsea where we put up a stupendous performance and we wonder 'How did we!!!'? Strange right? Today, I am talking about the latter. Feels good naah? Ohh, it sure does! :-D We have now beaten both Manchester United and Chelsea, the teams who have shared the Premiership for the last four years, two years each. And on the other hand, we have also lost to Stoke City, Hull City and a few others I have lost count of! Mind you, those two I mentioned, were not even in Top Division last season. So, what do we conclude from these? ...That we are struggling with our consistency, we are losing our focus in matches where we need to grind results, we are not getting motivated for these not-so-big matches. If we try to connect the matches we played, one at The Emirates against The Red Devils and the one against The Blues at Bridge, we see our team tremendously motivated and willing to put it across the teams at any cost. So, why do we miss this certain 'cutting edge' in other matches where teams sit back and defend? Pretty simple, we don't have 'that' experienced head in the middle who'll be like..."Listen guys, we won't be able to play our free-flowing game today, these guys will sit back and defend, so we need to take our chances, some of us will have to make those runs inside the box, give those diagonal crosses into the D, make that extra-effort of winning headers, try our best to clear loose balls without any show-boating, basically a little bit of dirt needs to be thrown into our beautiful policy of beautiful football. You see!" Yes, it is that simple.

All said and done, nothing is in our hands, we can't even wait for another 30 days and guarantee ourselves a solid CDM alongside our captain. We just need to respect whatever Wenger thinks is good for the team. We'll have to hope that Cesc can motivate our team everytime we get on to that field.
And finally, well done boys! Brilliant performance. And Van Persie, for that second strike of yours and the way you handled the question about Gallas in the post-match interview. **RESPECT** :-D

Go Gunners!
