The flaws of Wenger Pt II
In that lies the brutal truth about the current squad. While offensively we are one of the best in Europe, we are Newcastle like in defending. There is no protection in front of the back four. Teams often find their passing range against Arsenal. Why? How does a team like Fulham can pass the ball around our midfield confidently? Wenger always emphasize the importance of sharing responsibility among the players. Everyone is responsible for any of their teammates' mistakes. Thats why he never implement man marking. Furthermore, due to his extravagant offensive mind set, zonal marking is used every game no matter who are we playing against. In zonal marking players dont have to be responsible in marking a certain player. They dont have to follow a player tightly as he moves all around the pitch. This system will make counter attacking much more effective. Once the ball is recovered, the players will be positioned at their stationed zone and that will make it easier for Fabregas and co to find their passes. You always see Fabregas passes the ball quickly as he received it. One of the reasons is that he already knows where the nearest players are and he has the brain to figure out which pass is benefiting the team. However zonal marking necessitate a defensive midfielder with a great defensive instinct. As I said before we desperately lack one now. A naturally instinctive defensive midfielder will organize the zonal better. He will patrol his zone and always remind everyone about where the danger is coming from. Arsene has implemented the zonal system since the first day he came to London and only now the system is questioned. Thats because for the first time in his time at Arsenal he doesnt have a player that can stabilize the team once the ball is lost. You dont see Song or Denilson running back quickly and barking at their teammates to concentrate or buck up. Vieira and Gilberto used to do that efficiently. Now that they are gone, we are incredibly short in the midfield department. I stated earlier in the season Arsene needed to spend heavily in the central midfield area. Again, as the summer looming, I stressed the importance of another Vieira like player in our squad. Unless that Arsene wants to change his system, which he might not, that is.
Till the part III of this post. Chalo.

The flaws of Wenger
Arsene Wenger believes that football is evolving. He believes that football in the future will be played on the ground, where small players glide elegantly around the pitch exchanging positions with each other. He cited Spain Euro 2008 winning squad as example. He tried to implement what he had seen in the Spanish team into his Arsenal squad. However, for some reasons, he neglected the main fulcrum of that Spanish team. For all the flying fullbacks and the intricate triangle passing, the Spanish always played with one out and out defensive midfielder. It doesnt matter if its Senna or Alonso, they will always have one player who is intelligent enough to patrol in front of the back four.In intelligent I mean that the defensive player knows where the danger is coming and will shut the space down quickly, and he is also capable of doing the occasional forays toward the opposition goal. At Arsenal we have Denilson and Song for that position. The problem is that both of them dont have the required intelligence to play in the system. How many times do we see teams counter attacking through the Arsenal midfield? Take the Chelse game last Sunday. Every Chelsea goal came from the central area. Everytime they got the ball Drogba will always position himself in the space where Song should be, in front of Arsenal back four. This also happened in the Man Utd game. For Arsene and ideal defensive midfield player is someone who can attack and defend at the same time, ala Vieira or Gilberto. This type of players are hard to get, as they have incredible stamina combined with natural football iq that would help them make the appropriate decisions quickly and accurately. What I am seeing rite now Wenger is trying to nurture Song and Denilson into a Viera-esque type of players. As he is too reluctant to spend big, he needs both Song and Denilson to quickly develop into the combative all round midfielder he wants them to be. Theres one big flaw in the plan however. Both of them seem short of the required football mind to be like Viera. Denilson is a gifted passer and a very neat player, while Song is strong and good with his tackle. But they both dont have the natural instinct to sense danger and to make the 'arriving late in the penalty area' kind of offense. Denilson seems too afraid to carry the ball forward or make runs forward. He spent most of the time in front of the defense spraying sideway passes again and again. Song is better at carrying the ball forward but lack the judgment on when and where he should be positioned. Everytime Song or Denilson make their occasional forays forward, they just dont have the clue where the danger gonna be coming from. As a result, teams as good as Chelsea and Man Utd would easily find empty spaces to start their counter attack. For me both of them is way off being the Viera or Gilberto that Wenger wants them to be. Viera will never leave empty spaces behind him. If he does, he will always cover the space he left quickly as he knows exactly where the opponents gonna hurt his team. I miss those days when Vieira stuck his long leg out and suddenly we are on the attack again. When the opponents stole the ball and wanted to counter attack, hes already back covering all the spaces the had left vacant. Rite now, Arsenal need another Vieira. Someone needs to tell Arsene that Song and Denilson will never be one.

Outplayed..outworked..outsmarted..the story of Arsenal Champions League Semis.
Now lets get back to Arsenal. Im not saying that Arsene's a dud, but he made so, so many mistakes with his judgment last nite. Why the fuck did he send us out flying gung-ho rite at the get go????? We were only down 1-0 for fuck sake!!! Take your time bastard!! Think Liverpool for instance. They were down 3-1 (THREE) but did they started the second leg all out attacking?? Hell no!! Urghh it hurt me thinking about it. Secondly. Adebayor was having a fucking bad season. Get your balls and drop him once Arsene. Remember, we beat Man Utd in the league by playing Bendtner, not Adebayor. The guy was given a total 180minute of humiliation by Ferdinand and Vidic. Thirdly. After 20 minutes you can see what Man Utd were doing. Ronaldo was all over the place picking up spaces and emptying few more. Why or why dear ol Arsene, dont you do anything about it? I was screaming at the telly "STAY IN FRONT OF THE BACK FOUR FUCKER!!! DONT LET RONALDO ALONE IN THERE!! FUCKKKK!!" Sadly, i was the only one screaming. I was hoping to see Arsene get his arse up and screamed at Song to do that but no..he prefer to warmed his tushie up on the bench. Fuck Arsene..you and your lovely kids destroyed my heart last nite. I was crushed. It was infact the biggest game of the season. And we got turned over emphatically in front of our own crowd. It was the worst defeat I have endured in my 12 year Arsenal career...
Im taking a break from football from now on. Good luck Arsenal. Oh rite,,you have to play Chelsea next. Then Man Utd again. You gonna need more than luck for that.

Happy Gomoing!!
Kudos though to both sets of fans who for me, made the game absolutely marvellous. You have to be there to feel it. The singing (by the way, other than 'gomo kelate gomo', the kelantanese were clueless), the chanting and also not to forget the ranting and provocating ( I love 'referee bodoh' and 'kesian die'- hillarious) really kept the atmosphere alive. Unfortunately, the level of football was really killing me. If not for the fans, the game would be a complete snore fest. As an avid football follower as I am, I was totally astonished at the ineptness of the Malaysian players. How can they call themselves professional players when they cant even trap the ball properly is beyond me. At one stage of the match, the ball kept bouncing endlessly without anyone able to take control of it. By the end of the normal time, I was ready to pack my bags and go home. However due to the strong Selangorness (is that even a word?) in me, I decided to fight trough the football pain show and stay until the end of extra time and all the way to penalties, where my home team came out on top ingloriously (you have to attend the game to understand it).
Whoever say that we, the fans, do not support local football can go and eat my stinking shoes. You have to understand the fans needs. We want crisp passing. We want under the bar shooting. We want proper tackling. We want quality. If the quality served to us was as bad as it was tonight, do you expect the fans will come flocking to the stadium? If the game tonight was not a final cup game, I wont dare stepping my foot inside the stadium. I wonder how some of the hardcore fans able to keep up with this. They must be the most passionate type of fans ever existed in the history of football.
To the gendang brothers, I salute you all.
To all the fans attended the game tonight, I take my hat off and salute you all.
To the Malaysian football players, buck up. We fans dont deserve this torture.
Congratulation to Selangor FC. The worthy winners of 2009 Malaysian FA Cup.
All together now.."Inilah barisan kita..yang ikhlas berjuang..siap sedia berkorban....SELANGOR!!SELANGOR!!SELANGOR!!"

Theres always a way
I cant imagine theres such ungrateful bunch of people do exist in this world. Talk about the third class mentality. I hope you will burn in hell for such a pathetic excuse of a human being. I dont want you to engage yourself in any kind of relationship with her. You dont deserve her. In fact, you dont deserve anyone. No wonder at the age of 25, you still single. I cant imagine anyone can stand being alongside you for the rest of their lives. Pity your parents eh? Oh i forgot..your father is pathetic as you are. Fuck off bitch.

ARSENAL 4-0 BLAKBURN..maybe this is the Arsenal Wenger has been talking about?
Despite the negative tactics deployed by the opposition, Arsenal stood firm. If I had been Almunia last nite I would smack that Diouf face so hard he would need help just to open his mouth. The guy's antic on the pitch was just pathetic to see. And that tackle was totally out of order. That was the same kind of tackle that broke Eduardo foot. So why no red card ref??
Otherwise, most of the players were having one of their best games in a while. I think Song was a monster yesterday. He was everywhere. He won headers, move forward purposely and he did not waste posession as he used to do. Denilson was decent also, even he did looke tired at the end of the game. And plz dont you guys even think about slaughtering Bendtner. Even after all of those missed chances, he showed lots of improvement lately. He was very enthusiastic, full of running, his touch on the ball very good and most importantly he gets in those dangerous positions to score the goals. Imagine if he converted half of those chances into goals..we would have an incredible player in our hand. Hes only 20 ok..dont forget about that.

The trouble with youth
The world is truly going out of order. I knew it already is, but last night I suffered a tremored headache wondering how on earth it can be this way. How did ppl end up being as they are. How ppl end up being someone they are not supposed to be. The question of immorality has been thrown and burnt so long ago. No more care. No more conciousness. The pillars that are supposed to hold the future world are so damaged and dented even the best cannot repair them anymore. Who gave the idea that to have fun is the ultimate problem solver of the lifetime? Who thaught these ppl that every we can overcome every obstacle just by jumping around like some maniacs? Do you guys really think that thats the best way to handle anything? How long it will take till someone finally realize that once all the jumping and screaming are over the problem still exist? Its like "hey that country is at war! lets have a charity concert to show our support!!" What the fuck?
Last nite I somehow found myself sitting at the back of a so called 'charity' concert at my babe workplace. Imagine to sit for 2 hours listening to the some of the most horrifying sounds your ears could ever heard of. Its a total torture!! Most of the audience there were teenagers which is good at first glance, but look a little deeper and you shall see the sickening problem that has invaded the minds of our young ones. Despite the loudness of the place, I couldnt help but noticing the changes that have turned our teenagers into something else. I dont know how to describe it but they just didnt resemble the type of ppl we were hoping they would become. All the hope of producing leaders of tomorrow seems rubbish to these ppl. Put into bed. Maybe they think that to be succesful they just need to look cool?? Everyone wanted to be rappers, rockers, or even Paris Hilton. Cant we ooze coolness just as the way we are? I dont know about you guys but I just cannot stand ppl who try their hardest just to portray coolness in every bit of their action. Do you think its cool to dress like that? Or screaming and shouting like that? Who the hell influence you to be like that? I believe your parents did not expect you to be this way right? Heres the main problem here. From whom these ppl learn to behave such way? Whos the mastermind behind this illegal mind intrusion? Whos the blame for all of this?
I hate it when some africans dress up like a thug rapper. With his red bandana. With his extra large shirt/pants. And that 'cool' sunglasses. Wearing sunglasses at night? Theres no limit to human idiocracy.
I hate it when so called Muslim/Malay try their best to look europeans. Stop it please. That blonde hair doesnt match with our asian fair skin. And that mini skirt..its not like you got pretty leggies like Beyonce.
I hate it to see our Muslim/Malay females screaming and shouting like a whore. Plz show some manners girls. And you with the tudung on!! Stop cuddling with ur boyfriend in public!! You think I like to see u guys touching each other? (Well yeah actually in some way ;P)
p/s : Dafi you suck. You sang like a duck. I wish I can hit you with a hockey puck. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck.

Really?Whoaaa...
Ok lets balance things a little bit. Other than those two assists, Song was having just an ok-ish display. As usual, he gave away posession too cheaply at times, and somehow managed to conjure few moments of brilliance (other than those two assists..damn it sickening to say about it). As I said Diaby was poor as he reverted to his ball-hogging-difficult-pass habit again. The centre backs were decents and so was the keeper, albeit one missed catch thanks to Diaby. Sagna was awesome, and for once his cross found an Arsenal player. Gibbs was great offensively but defenseively his positioning need to be worked on. Well Eboue..oh sorry Im still barring myself from mentioning him.
Eddy and Vela were outstanding. Velas gonna be a star. Trust me this kid is unbelievable. He may be small but he can ride challenges. And the goal was hellishly brilliant. Same goes to Eduardo. How we missed him in the run in to the title last season. Hes the only striker we got who likes to move his ass around a little bit. Lots of off the ball runnings from this guy. How about that for a volley? Incredible yet cheeky eh?
Things are definitely looking up for the team. Walcotts back and if he keeps making those runs, Arshavin will find him easily. Arshavin might be the one who will make things ticking again. Time and time again he found Walcott without spending too much time dwelling with the ball. His football brain is miles ahead anyone else in the team bar Fabregas. Van Persie who supposed to be our main creative spark, took 5/6 touches before releasing the football while Arshavin took only 2/3 touches. Thats the spped of thought for you. Maybe he can teach some of our so call playmakers (Robin, Nasri, Abou Im talking bout u) to do the same. Hes still doesnt look fit enuff for me though.
p/s : Im still sceptical about Song. Im not saying hes got nothing in his locker but he certainly not yet up the the high standards Arsenal have set for themselves. Until he can produce the same kind of performance week in and week out again then I might change my view on him.

Answer this bitch!!
Dennis Bergkamp!! Simply the best player ever donned the red shirt (or maroon) of Arsenal. Technically perfect. He is the only player Wenger couldnt replace. That is just becoz theres no one like him. For 5 years now Arsenal have been searching for a player of his calibre but still come out short everytime. They said Van Persie is the next Bergkamp? Sorry mate u r a long way of touching his ass. I dont think I ever seen a player with football brain as good as Bergkamp's. So all together now.."THERE'S ONLY ONE DENNIS BERGKAMP...WOOOOHOOHOO..THERE'S ONLY ONE DENNIS BERGKAMP!!!"
p/s : In my humble opinion, this guy can be our new Bergkamp. Lets see how the season unfold for him eh? Hes surely the closest we got now.

My new fav song by U2....again
Where The Streets Have No Name
I want to run
I want to hide
I want to tear down the walls
That hold me inside
I want to reach out
And touch the flame
Where the streets have no name
I want to feel, sunlight on my face
See that dust cloud disappear without a trace
I want to take shelter from the poison rain
Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name
We’re still building
Then burning down love, burning down love
And when I go there
I go there with you…
(It’s all I can do)
The cities a flood
And our love turns to rust
We’re beaten and blown by the wind
Trampled into dust
I’ll show you a place
High on ta desert plain
Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name
Still building
Then burning down love
Burning down love
And when I go there
I go there with yo
(It’s all I can do
Deep meaningful lyrics symbolizing the world we are living today. Incredible.
And I go there with YOU. Its all we can do..
Oh..wahh..yawnnn***
What the fuck? Are you fucking kidding me? Yeah we won 3-1 last night, but a pub team can beat West Brom with defence like that. Arsenal's defence was not that good either. Djourou was hapless. He got to stop giving those cheap fouls soon. Everytime he plays the opposition would gain lots of easy free kicks around the penalty box. Last night was the same. Its easy. Just loop a high ball to your striker. Make sure your striker is marked by Djourou and voilaaa...u got urself a free kick. Its automatic. In midfield Song was a usual fucker as he is, and Denilson..well hes improved a little. No more pathetic coward sideway passing routing from the little guy last night. All were moving forward. Nasri was ok until he got that knock on his ankle. I dont want to talk about Eboue becoz im afraid im gonna say something good about him, which I have forbidded myself from doing so. Its just i dont regard him as an Arsenal player anymore. He doesnt do enuff to earn it for me. Arshavin and Bendtner were the best of the lot out there for me. Bendtner should have added more to his 2 goals. If he does, he would be the man of the match but im giving that to Mr Arshavin today. The guy oozes class. Much better technically than most of our players. Wait until hes 100% fit, and I think he will be big for us.
I wish that I can be Arsene Wenger for a day so I can sell Song to some lower league clubs. The guy is a pathetic defensive midfielder. He doesnt mark tight enuff, and his passing leaves a lot to be desired. Kudos to Diaby and Almunia though. They are slowly changing my view about them. Almunia is slowly become a steady influence at the back and Diaby has shown urgency in his game that was lacking lately. I give credit where its due ok??

Sometimes u just have to stand up and admire..
However as pitiful the world circling around me as it is, I am incredibly fortunate to meet 2 persons in my life who defy the logic of human bonds. These type of homo sapians is facing extinction, and to find 2 of them is very very rare. Imagine, a girl from a tiny little village in some rural northen state has a relationship so great that makes yours truly gaping in awe. And a very successful doctor can be so humble to acknowledge the girl eventhough there is a significant gap in class between them. I am very proud to say that these two ladies are the closest persons to me and I love them with all my hart and soul. Sometimes, you just have to stand up and admire.
- She can come to the mother-in-law-to-be's house anytime she wants. Without even telling her fiance.
- She can go out shopping with the mother-in-law-to-be without her fiance attendance.
- The mother-in-law-to-be can plan for the wedding without discussing with her fiance, who is the mother-in-law-to-be own son FYI.
- The mother-in-law-to-be knows his son is going out with her, but instead of calling him she calls her just to make sure shes fine. And they often have phone conversation for the sake of just talking nonesense.
- The mother-in-law-to-be tells her every secret of the family.
- They are so close, leaving her own son feeling grief in annoyance. :)

ARSENAL 0 - 0 FULHAM
Frustrated.
"They are no pro footballer in anyone of them, they cant run, mark or create space to pass the ball. Bad positioning, lazy. Name it they have it all in this team. And we pay them to do this every week. I will not be watching any gooners match again until the end of season. most of all i blame the coach, he bought the players so he should take the blame." - Megagooner4life
-Totally agree with you lad.
