In case you didn't know, i am a Arsenal fan.

Now now, don't start your anti-Arsenal chants. I didn't start any anti-whatever chant right?

Anyway, you may ask me, out of the current Big 4, why Arsenal? Reason is very simply, almost laughable. At the point of time when i start noticing soccer and the EPL, i don't like Man U. So i decided to support any team other than Man U. Hence the birth of my undying support for Arsenal ever since.

Everyone knows Arsenal is facing a very rough patch. Once top of the league and 5 points clear, they are poised to win the EPL and their confidence was boosted when they sent off AC Milan to cruise to the the next stage of the Champion League. Than everything goes downhill, with the injury of Eduardo da Silva the worst of all matters.

To me, it is very disheartening when i flipped open the newspaper and the headline screamed the defeat of Arsenal. And it is even sadder when friends put down Arsenal, saying it is this this this and that that that.

But, i have faith in Arsene Wenger. You can't deny his shrewd eye for young talents. Just look at his youthful team. They once reached the final of the Champion League, a remarkable achievement i would say when there are hardly any big names in the team.

So i hope Arsene Wenger will put his talent to good use again, spotting young talents during the season break, bring them in, mould them into an even excellent and bring in the silverware. It is kind of sian when three seasons down the road and no silverware. Also, i hope he bring in some experienced players too. We need them, seriously.
